Just had a name change on this character

Does it actually reset everything on the forums? Previous name was Longbridge.

Edit: Yes it does, wild.

Name Change does but Race Change doesn’t.

Make a new character with your old name and you’ll have your stuff back.

Longbridge is a cool name though, why you change it?

probably against the naming rules for RP realms

Yeah, discourse for character specific posting is pretty janky.

Why would it be? It’s similar to Sergeant Bainbridge from the siege of boralus dungeon.

It’s not. It’s Bulakzebgor back on a new alt with “takes.”

OP’s dilemma is why we need account wide trust level. Bulak’s dilemma is why we need account wide ignore. lol

See the support article: Report a character name in World of Warcraft

Additional Rules for Role Playing Realms

World of Warcraft Role Play (RP) realms are intended to provide players with an added level of immersion in the game world and names on these realms must avoid being disruptive to the world. Examples of common unacceptable or disruptive RP names include (but are not limited to):

Names that consist of multiple words (For example: Inyourface, Welovebeef, Howareyou, Sixtyseventy)

Long bridge is just two words, as is described in the support article that discusses innappropriate RP realm names.

Technically yes, but it’s also in the style of actual in-setting names. I believe that is more for when people make sentences, rather than taking two words to make a generic fantasy surname.

They have issued a general ruling on compound words before and found them to not be in violation.

Also it’s a real world surname. As is Dellmore which is also a compound word :man_facepalming:

That’s not in the support article so I have no reason to believe that.

Thank you, I will reference the official support article and trust that.

Who are you, again? Someone pretending to be Hasitcostus?

Blame Blizzard for nuking the forums from orbit repeatedly, IDGARA if you believe it or not

Also they had to change that article you’re referencing at least once because originally an “inappropriate name” given as an example was “Technotron” when Gnomes, Goblins, and Mechagnomes exist :roll_eyes:

Ok so you are telling me that there is no evidence of this ruling that you spoke of?

I think that is a very good reason for me to trust the official support article.

Who are you, again?

I am Eyaun, a rambunctious level 12 pandaren.

And why should I care whether or not you believe me, or the anonymous poster from six years ago who no one in the linked thread doubted back when their blue post link actually worked

The main issue with this is that there is no evidence that this link did actually function in the past.

So all we have here is just another poster saying something.
