Question about inappropriate name. - Guild Wars Forums

chicks boy · Dec 08, 2007, 08:14 PM // 20:14

If i come back and play guildwars again I know someone will report my necromancer. My necromancer's name is King of Bigpimpin and i had that necro for 2 years.

I'm afraid to go back and play guildwars again, there are old people out there that doesn't like inappropriate names and will report recklessly.

What is the solution for this?

P.S. Why would i name a necro "king of bigpimpin?" Its because i was just a kid and lived in america.

The solution is destroy that necro and make another one

you'd probably name it that cause you were bored.

the worst that could happen is you get banned for 3 days and have to rename it.

Antheus · Dec 08, 2007, 08:18 PM // 20:18

Get reported, get banned for 3 days, change the name once the ban is over. Where's the problem?

Why would someone ever report you?

You know, the least offensive thing about this post is "King of Bigpimpin"

Lady Raenef · Dec 08, 2007, 08:25 PM // 20:25

I have a dervish named 'Atheist Dervish' and I have yet to be reported.

I also had a name called 'Zombie J E S U S.'

Some names just have to fly, because if every name would just be considered offensive, perhaps I find the name 'Gaile Gray' to be offensive towards my religion (which I have no religion, but still) so I demand that she change it.

P.S., though I may be atheist, the purpose of my name wasn't to offend religious people alike, only for the pure ironic fact that the Dervishes have God Forms. If religious people are going to complain, complain about the fact that there's no Avatar of Jesus, first.

I love how ignorant you are.

Also, I would bet 500gp that you are still a "kid".

its not hard to name a char something that is appropriate

stop being retarded

Henchman · Dec 08, 2007, 09:19 PM // 21:19

I suppose the best thing you could do is come clean, and write an email to support.
Tell them that you last used the character 2 years ago when you were younger. Say that you know realize that your name is offensive, and you apologize for making a mistake. Tell them that you would like to play without offending anyone, and ask them to let you change your name to something more appropriate.

Neo Nugget · Dec 08, 2007, 09:23 PM // 21:23

Oh Chicks boy, haven't seen you on here in a while

I'd just wait and see if someone does report it.

ghostlyfenix · Dec 08, 2007, 09:38 PM // 21:38

Wow. Just, wow.

You have 3 options, as I see it:

1. Delete the character and create a new one that isn't name inappropriately.

2. Be proactive and email ANet yourself - ask if they can do a name change for you, and throw yourself on their mercy. They may just change the name w/o a ban.

3. Just play the character and hope no one reports you.

Whichever you choose, please try not to place the blame on anyone. You only look foolish and juvenile.
