UO Second Age

I'm not at all a prude, but just wondering about some of the character name do's and dont's. Considering this is supposed to be a family freindly shard (or I think it is) I've seen some pretty indecent character names in my time here. Just wondering what constitutes going too far?

I know simple things like: mage, thief etc aren't allowed as names on the demo...I'd imagine it should be pretty strict here.

Just for example (and forgive if this is anyone's character), I saw "cockblocker" running around WBB trapping people with small animals and saying "you've been cockblocked". I of course found this hillarious but, but knowing my little bro and sister play this game(not on this server mind you), they see some of these names and ask what is this or that, such as cockblocking. And this name is rather tame, just wanted to get staff input on naming policies here.

I think Derrick tries to be pretty liberal with names as long as they aren't racial slurs or overly offensive. The boards and IRC he tries to keep a little more clean (as long as you're not in the trash talk forum), though it doesn't always happen.

There is an implemented dirty names list for character creations, but lesser and debatable profanity like cock, or ass are not on there. We do sometimes changes names at our discrression but the character mentioned seemed kind of tame compared to some of the things I've seen.

We do however appreciate good honorable names of course, like Doug or Marvin

that's so awesome

Not to be a buzzkill as I think names can get excessive...


BUT -- there was a M+ rating on the game's box (at least the original release and T2A). If your little brother or sister plays M+ rated games then they should be prepared for a little bit of uncontrolled things.

(I would like to say that "cock" would never have passed OSI's character creator in any way)
