Changing Character's Name

by Danishio » Tue Oct 13, 2015 6:52 pm

Hello, i want to ask if anyone knows if this has been made before?. The present one is a bit offensive for Spanish speaking people.

I know GM's are far busy, so i planned to ask here first.

Thanks.

Are you really that offended by a character name in a videogame? Get a thicker skin.

I don't think GMs will change an "offensive" name, especially one that's only offensive to a single language which isn't the main language of the server.

Yes. Staff will enforce a name change if it's offensive. The key is to offend enough people. Good luck.

In that case, no, the GMs still won't change the character name, unless you manage to get like 50+ people to file tickets complaining about your name.

Actually, they do force name changes, and ones that are only offensive in a specific language are subject to this enforcement.

Step 1) Make alt on a different account
Step 2) Report Name
Step 3) ???
Step 4) Profit

If your name is only offensive in another language not English or French, it better be obvious when they go to translate it, otherwise you're stuck with whatever shit name you picked.

Just open up a ticket and explain the situation. Getting hundreds of reports bears a minimal risk of getting banned faster for other mistakes in future.

Good luck :)
