cant wait to see how they deal with this in gw2---I forsee no names and just assigned numbers for everyone....would solve many problems.

Just change your name to "Brawling Headrump* and you'll be ok.

So, censor Assasins, and every skill with the word Assasin in it?

Then explain why I have the name Forked Arrow? [forked arrow] is a skill to.

Hello Matt,

Your name has been uncensored and you should be able to play it now without a change. Your other character "Violated Was Uranus" has already been changed and you should be able to log in to the game.

Take care,
GM Phields

Just got this from my appeal

I fail to see the problem here. Why does ArenaNet hate astronomy?

Wow, they actually may have a "reasonable" reason to delete [censore] assassins[/censored] from the game.
Or they'll rename them to Ninjas
-_-

For Who never saw this video its basically a mom telling her 3 year old daughter to say kick his butt instead of A**

Sorry to say this but the GM's are overeacting with the names, cause this is plainly retarded. Lets just rename the ****ed Clerics and rename Assassin to Buttsassin oh yeah and while we're at it change all the skills that have double sense as if the players are all perverts.

- Ganni

EDIT: The video is just an example of how the word Butt isn't a bad word.

Kusandaa · May 02, 2008, 08:36 PM // 20:36

Yeah I think "butt" is offensive. leik, rly ofansiv.</sarcasm>

Not.

Come on, the skill is used in the game (as a skill!) and once on a character it's suddenly evil and susceptible to offend (AKA censored... who the hell gets offended by "butt"? seriously!)? Lawl much? >_>... That's just plain stupid IMHO.

Well some people know my stance on censorship. I just don't like it.

Just an idea on my part

Besides it would only be an issue if someone reported it.

For instance if I made a character named Balanced Stance, and someone reported that I was using a copywritted name to ANet, then they would ban the name.

Now if this is the case, why don't they use the name filter at creation to filter it out, I have no idea-it's just a theory.

arbiter · May 02, 2008, 08:37 PM // 20:37

i think anet did that cause it looks like you are using windows 98 theme...
but just make a new name and move on who cares... brawling headbutt is kinda lame in the first place, maybe thank anet

Kook~NBK~ · May 02, 2008, 08:42 PM // 20:42

Don't use offensive names, even if they don't offend you! Sheesh, it's not that hard to comprehend, is it?

I'd say that since A-Net banned you for that other name, they're doing a fine job of taking care of business. (Now, if it were for "Brawling Headbutt," I'd have to agree that they went too far.)

VitisVinifera · May 02, 2008, 09:29 PM // 21:29

violated was uranus is pretty funny.......though I'd say that one could be considered inappropriate, though I say anything goes

glad you got brawling back.........I'm glad all of my names are pretty esoteric and don't imagine there's any way they could be misconstrued

Owww my sides hurt.... Can't...stop...laughing

Gun Pierson · May 02, 2008, 09:43 PM // 21:43

'Violated was Uranus'

lol

On topic: Anet, tx for the laugh! All that seriousness about the eula and other stuff and then this happens, pure irony. Anet nerfed Anet.

Seeing as the issue has been resolved I'm closing this thread, before it degenerates.
