Whats in a name?

Recommended Posts

Some players make a bad choice when it comes to naming their  avatars.

They don't  realize that  first impressions   outweigh everything else,  so if  you choose a name of  someone with  historical bad vibes... you can get banned or  such   without doing anything.!

Some   name  choices are obviously  intended to troll .. they arrive at spawn and  then log out,  leaving  the avatar with an offensive   name prominently  as a form of "advertisement" ...and they think its  clever   ( yawn).

Ok  --- these names  might be  ok  on a PVP server full of  people running around  going " Bang - Bang  ..you'e  dead" and  destroying   anything they can.  but on a PVE  friendly orientated server... well    expect that you  might not be  able  to log  in  afterwards when the undertakers   remove the bodies.

Names  really  don't  bother  99% of the players ...just  dont  expect to  get the  welcome  mat laid  out  when you   try to  break into someones  house/base/ etc. and   you will be  ignored,  generally.

However there are some  really  offensive  names that will get you   banned promptly...  like  the  " N "  word , or  variations  on  genitalia or  other   sexual  content.

Currently  on  our  spawn island   we had a  " Sh#tMaker"  arrive ...well    we  don't  need one of them, as we are  quite capable  of making our  own! :D

Sadly  with the  advent of  school  holidays,  we can expect  an  influx of these pre pubescent  names. and  types...     and  not  all of them   will be  kids!:|

But to those with  clever,  witty or   sensible  names ...   welcome!

 

I saw   a cartoon  that reflected the   nature of   today's  times...     a  baby was been  shown  to  a  young mother   by the   obstetrician...   and he was saying to the new mother...   " sorry,  you cannot  use the name   "Sarah" as that    has been taken .. but   sara1279   or  sarah.463   are  still available"

 

:D
