“Mature content” is more of a catch-all for names that are not allowed. It means that your name likely contains some other element that’s not allowed. Could be a title, color etc.
Posting on the forums is just to make the suggestion that they change the filter. Posting will not result in the name being removed from the filter list.
Sorry for the confusion, Mexem. The Game Master should have encouraged you to use the Submit Suggestion option located in the help menu in-game. Obviously listing a name on the forums that is on a prohibited list is probably a bad idea entirely.
That said, I’m not entirely certain what part of the name is getting hit by the filter, so I’m going to send it up and see if I can get any information back. No promises, but if I hear something I’ll update this thread.
Alright, it looks like there is a restrictions against names beginning and ending in X. While I can’t speak for our Development team, I believe this is to avoid people being able to simply add an X or three before and after a taken name to be able to have it, which is a fairly popular trend in other games. So you can’t have things like: Xxshadowxx, Xshadowx, Xxxshadowxxx, etc…
Why would that be prohibited? So I couldn’t use XxVrakthrisxx, but I could use Vrakthrïs? Sorry, but I guess I’m missing something and don’t fully understand.
Have you ever played a game where you were surrounded by XX characters? I have, it’s extremely odd and more than a little distracting. Vrakthrïs is still a name, where variations of characters with names surrounded by X’s aren’t really. As I said, I can’t speak for our Devs, but that would be my guess as the reasoning.
Before they transitioned away from the Terms of Use, ‘leetspeak’ names were among those explicitly against the rules. The examples given therein included names beginning and ending in a series of X’s. Seems they’re still not allowed.
All’s good, thank you for looking into this for me Vrakthris! I’ll have to come up with a different cool sounding name. Maybe Portobello or Mushroom. I have a few days to decide. I’ll think of something.
Didnt think it was lvl 3 no biggie comes and goes i suppose mite have happened when i accidently logged into the forums on a alt hate it when u log out in game on a alt and log on in the forums on a alt.
