I can understand the need for some filtering of names like this one :
http://www.anarchyonline.com/charact...me/jiggamonkey
But a name that is merely the name of a porn star isn't offensive.
BTW I'm guessing Mr Longshot is one of the US GM's, It smacks rather puritanical, from my knowledge of scandinavian countries this kind of thing wouldn't be considered offensive.

I don't get it
While I agree that offensive names should not be allowed I feel that "nikkidial" is not offensive one bit. What is offensive is seeing a Swastica(sp) in game (and if I were jewish i would be screaming like a madman i think).

Hi...
I didnt make the charecter name "Bone" just to offend people. Actually, I thought it as a Doctor, like later post say. The bone in your buddy, the fractions in your bones and so on.
When making this charecter, "Bones" was taken. So I dicided to make "Bone".
I have now played with Bone since launch and never did I once hear any complaints about my name.
I once was victim of a funny joke, when a big fat atrox stood right behind me (I was in a sit down position), and screamed:
"Look at my Boner"
But I found that quite amuzing.
But well.. now I know at least one that wont get that +80 treatment cheap
- Bone, level 104 doc.

.If a real Nikki porn start will play this game and use her real name, she will be banned? this is racism and intolerance from Funcom.
Unban Nikki, what's up banning her after she paid 6 months?

I must say that in this case I would really like to hear Funcom's side because I AM puzzled as to why they would ban someone with the name of Nikki Dial. And for the record I didn't even KNOW that there was a real porn star by the name of Nikki Dial. I simply assumed that you had chosen to roleplay a porn star.
Unless Nikki Dial actually plays AO and complained about it--and Funcom can't admit that that is the reason because that would be a violation of Ms Dial's privacy.
Strange.

I am sorry, I was not trying to single you out to be banned. Heck I didn't even have any knowledge of anyone using the character. I was just pointing out how innocent words can be interpretted if you was to judge each one with a dirty mind.
I was saying, "Hey, let's not get silly here!" You know, because names should be based on their obviously offensiveness and not the abstract nature that names could and can evolve to.

There is a reason I posted as a pornstar and signed that way. I never want to be taken too seriously. That is because people tend to swallow what you say more easily when they think you are as fallible as they are.
Sorta like what I heard Curt Cobain say in an interview along time ago. His lyrics where purposeful in the fact he took little nuggets of the truth and wrapped them in a silly wrapper.
That's because in the end humans only want to be lied to. We don't want to confront the impossible to believe for too long. We give and and just WANT to be lied too, even though we know in our hearts that there is a very good chance of being wrong.
The point is I say alot of crap good and bad, but never want you to think I am pushing something onto you because I act so superior. If I present a fallible face then you are more likely to listen to all the crap that comes out of my mouth :OP
BTW GUYS READ THIS!!!!!!!!!
I have reviewed your case and I am very sorry, or happy, depends on how
you see it I guess, to say that this was a mistake and your names
should have not been forced to change.
I have now changed your names back
Jennyrocket is now called Nikkidial
Bubblegirl is now called Tracylords
Runnergirl is now called Cristycanyon
I am sorry that this happened to you, and I hope you are satisifed with
the solution Please note that I am not blaming the GM for this, as he
only did what he was told.
I hope you will continue to enjoy life on Rubi-Ka.

Like I have stated before, I was never mad at Longshot. I was mad about the rule and how it was being interpretted. I challenged the rule so that their would be realistic guidelines inplace. I was successful because of my persistance and because of your support. Thank you for that support :O)
Very impressive! Im glad that they seem to be having a change of heart on some issues and this is one of them that I have been following.

Yay!
happy to see FC reps admit when they are in the wrong.
it's comforting to know that you're dealing with reasonable
people, and not an inflexible company beurocracy.
Hey Lozer, What are u trying to prove by listing other peoples name who "you" think are offensive
my name is breaku, if you have a problem with it, come to the arena, and ill show you what my name stands for. It's people like you who make me want to pvp again.

Anyways nikki im glad you got your name back. WEll done!

I suggest Funcom either edits her name or forgets about it...
banning is stupid...
whoever the _hello_ is responsible for the "name monitoring" - you guys make dang sure i wont see another punk running around with a name even REMOTELY related to the third reich.
Names like "WaffenSS" just dont belong in here...
somebody using a name like that can not have _any_ sense of humor left in their sick little brain...
some of us play this piece of buggy software to get away from reallife...
getting the holocaust rubbed into my face when im trying to roleplay is not gonna do it.
get _offensive_ names out.

so Luthcian gets to decide what is and isnt offensive?
