    There was 8 players that I reported for over a year before they were forced to change thier names
    They had the following names: Imaundeadcow {an undead rogue} Deserie {a Troll mage they had a slash in the D} A'Kanna {A troll shaman I still don't know how they got that name to work for over a year}
    and many others that escape me at the momment
    The dumb thing is one of the people named thier blood elf the name they were forced to change

    it was my only time reporting, but I'm pretty sure it was just opening a ticket or something like that and typing in the problem and waiting for a GM to contact you

    I put him in my friends list and forgot about him, then noticed a week later that there was some dude named izuo on my list and remembered. I sent him a tell asking him what happened to his awesome name, and he said blizzard didn't like the special symbols in it. I've never talked to him before, and I wasn't even in the same area as him when I sent him the tell.. I don't think he ever caught on

    normally I don't care enough to report retarded names, but the server I was on had serious population issues, and 40% of the players were blood elves...not a fun time to be horde, especially since I'm not really a big fan of the race myself. seeing a BE paladin named sephiroth just did it enough for me to report

    I'm making a character on that server and reporting him.

    That name is obnoxious beyond any scope or caliber.

    it's too bad he doesn't have any special symbols in his name. I got a blood elf paladin named sephÎroth name changed before

    Well, Munkus' character used to be named Nightmare but with a thingy for the I, until he got it changed.
    ì

    It's actually next to impossible to tell the difference between a ì and an i in the game of wow. There is about 1 pixel difference.

    EDIT: I usually go to the verbal harrassment area to report the people.

    In WoW you get reported for using punctuation? What's the problem if the name field lets you enter in those characters?

    Foreign languages, i.e. those dastardly swedes, use those crazy punctuation marks.

    But it's verboten in the states.

    We had Ã…se the main tank on Shadowmoon. When we transfered to Magtheridon (free server transfer, and Shadowmoon somehow became Czech Central) she changed it to Easi.

    I think the biggest reason is that it makes the character much more difficult to /target if you don't have the characters memorized, especially if the letter comes early in the name. You can't '/target a' to find a rogue whose name starts with Ã…, ferzample.

    What's going on:

    I have discovered a guild in the barrens of a certain server. I am chiding Saeris over his poor decision in choosing a temporary server on which to hang out until the arrival of TBC.

    Homorush was quite the gem we played on, let me tell you. Of course, since it was the wench who picked the server, are you really surprised it ended up being horrible? I'm not ;)

    Shoulda named the guild "Sidely School of Flavor"

    Yes, I did that on purpose.

    paid name changes has finally restored one of my favorite guildmates back to his real glory. Back when wow started, he named his priest Fatherbob. For whatever reason, a year later when we were regularly doing MC, blizz made him change his name, and he became Frbob. And every new recruit into the guild, and every nub on the server, called him fire resist bob.

    So now he's Fatherbob again, and we're all happy.

    Also, a guy in my guild named his rogue Hironakamura (the japanese guy from Heroes). What baffles me, is he must be one damn good rogue, because that show isn't all that old, and he had full BWL gear before BC came out.

    i know of someone in PS that was named erekshun, eerection and nutliker. doesn't get much crap for it. but it is funny if you think about it. when he kills someone he can say "youve been killed by an eerection/nutliker" sick but true.

    So while I'm in the Dire Maul arena working on The Razza, some same-faction rogue decides to kill me. Meh, unimaginative cliche-ey name:

    Glance over his gear, still got half blues and even a green, would have stood no chance if not for the elite spamming poison, lightning, and teleports, the usual situation. Then I get to his arena teams.

    I recently grouped with a Troll Fire Mage named 'Tehpwnzorx.' When asked if I ever thought of respeccing fire, I told him I hated it. He asked me if I hated him, and I told him that his name was shitty. He responded with, 'There's nothing wrong with it.' :|
