I undertsand where he is coming from. But I find it annoying when you have players with stupid MMORPG crap names like. "PWNS U ALL" what the hell kind of hero is named that. I know "It's their choice" but It's rather dumb here is example.

It was a beautiful summer morning. The sun giving it's comforting warmth to the world. The grass in tree covered dew. In the reflecitng light nature seemed to glisten like stars. In this wonderess day Uthgar and Eliana just had a son.

Uthgar: What shall we name him my dear?
Eliana: Weshall call him PWNS U ALL
Uthgar: What in the name of Dwayna?!?! Why not something like Roderick, Gatalize or maybe even Armeld?
Eliana: Beause I want him to be a l337 IWAY like you dear.

O_o See where i'm coming from? It's just kind of stupid to me, not infact really stupid. It's like people have no imagination any more.

/end rant

My charactersanme are. Leon Uxixen(Platuim Fire), Gergori Vampyre, Then my step father's Suller Flaire. Uncle's Odin Death. My mom andsister's i'm not touching.lol

Nothing wrong with it, but it does make the person look rather silly. I'm probably picky, but when forming groups I'll take someone with a unique name or one not loaded with errors/leet speak over the obvious clones/5 second names. Shows that a person has a little originality, personality, whatever. Maybe it's because I spend atleast 5 minutes (upto a week of occasional brainstorming) creating my names, but meh...

I like my monk name Perpetual Salvation, however if that was taken I surely wouldn't have named myself Purpetule Saalvation (teh Deeestroier)

But yeah, whatever. Let people name whatever they want, makes it easier to cull wannabe groupmates.

For PvP, whatever. I've been known to create some weird PvP names

Edit: Lol, Crash Dummy. Now that's a good one, even though not truly original. Atleast you aren't Crassh Dummie (the Pwnzors)

I just create names with "Omega" with it. Don't know why, but everyone else nicks other people's names, dammit!!

If only you could generate ones before they updated the Character Creation...

See, my clever name was banned because it insinuated something sexual.

Come on, ANet, your entire game does the exact same thing. 'Kinky Fetishes' is far less offensive than ARMOUR that covers LESS of the body than UNDERGARMENTS!

P.S. Lingerie is NOT armour, by the way!
P.P.S. If the devs ever got out of their mother's basement they'd see that the only women with tripple-D cup size are Pamela Anderson and ... I think she's the only one, actually. With the characters constantly running around as well, they're bound to get BACK PROBLEMS!

Sorry... it just pisses me off how much of a double-standard they have. They can insinuate visually, but I can't insinuate verbally?

That's MY rant for the day.
