Default The letter "G" is banned...

Seriously, this is really stupid (for lack of better words)...

You can no longer have a single letter "G" in your name because they banned it. Example: B I G G E R, Navi G Stormlight, Lt G Max, etc, etc...

This is stupid. Ok, they banned it because they think that the letter "G" is somehow gang related... Why the hell do I care if it is gang related? It doesn't bother me that people like to have "G"s in their names, and I'm pretty sure there are very few people who are offended by the letter "G"... This does nothing but annoy people.

It's ridiculous. If you are planning on banning everything slang related, guess you'll have to ban herb, lil, east, west, south, north, ak, OG, Blood, trees, dank, skunk, white, widow, tag, rags, etc, etc.

This is the dumbest banning of a single letter I've ever seen... 50k says nobody from A.Net will adress this or even look at this thread.

I suggest you change this, as I do not see any reason for it.

Where did you get your information that it was a 'gang' related thing? Maybe they're going to ban all single letter "names" like N O T O R I O U S? Frankly, names like that are annoying anyhow so I say good riddance.

Nope, they aren't banning names like that. Just "G".

And I'm guess they are think "G" for "Gangster".... retarded, IMHO...

From UrbanDictionary:

G
1. A gangster, "That's a real G."
2. A thousand dollars, "Let me borrow a G."
3. A title of endearment, "What up, G?"

Remember that when we "assume" it makes an "ass" out of "u" and "me". We don't know why or truly even IF they have started banning names like "G". That is one man's opinion. Even if it is true...? *shrugs*

I wasn't saying that "G" didn't have gang connotations, either.

Either way, I'm moving this to Questions & Answers. It isn't an idea so it doesn't belong here.

Eh? I'm suggesting they change it. It is true because I've tried it myself...

H G - No go
R G - No go

Word the topic into an idea with a title that fits an idea and gives the opportunity for others' responses. The way it is currently worded is more a rant/question than an idea for game implementation.

One question: Is this something new or something that has been IG since release?

Guess what happens when you spell C o c k y without the spaces?

This is what happens:
RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOy


The G banning thing... this board has some issues I think.

It's not the forum that has banned the letter "G". It is ANet, ostensibly.

This is complete INSANITY! They can't ban only "G". It can't possibly be gang-related though could it? Just doesn't seem possible. Maybe one of the Anet people had a tramatizing experience with the letter "G'. MAYBE the school they went to the letter "G" was worse than "F". That must be it

*spits Dr. Pepper all over the keyboard* THAT'S IT!

But no one has answered my question: Is this something new? And I'll add another: Has anyone else tested this out?

Not sure if it's new or not, but it's pretty easy to test out yourself. Can't seem to take screenshots in the character creation screen =/

You can't? Well, if you use Print Screen, then you can still alt-tab and paste it into a paint program of one kind or another.

I also find names like T A N K or S T U P I D or L O S E R to be boring and dumb. They just don't fit with the rest of the game.... but I don't care enough to ban the letter G. And I don't really care enough to want to make them stop. I just think the names are dumb.

Actually, I think you can. You just don't get that "URL" to the Guildwars folder message you do when you're IG. I took screenies of my 4 character screen and didn't think it had worked. Then one day, lo and behold, I was in there looking for something else and I found them. If you did the "Print Screen" thing, go check the screenshots folder. Maybe they're there.

Yeah; I took some of character creation, but haven't tried taking any at the character selection.
