    Yeah. Like "Faceless Man". Report that guy.

    Actually according to what Trion states, it seems like thedarkone wouldn't be "out of place". I think 'partial or complete sentence' is reserved for names like (example) 'pwnuhard' or 'Immahealer' or some knuckle-dragging name like that.

    Clearly you are wrong, since Trion asked him to change it. Sorry.

    I did not come here to start some sort of flame battle over names. Someone said they were asked to change theirs, wanted to know why, and I did my best to offer an explanation. I don't see why certain folks are getting upset at me over my replies.

    Faceless Man is a NPC, not a player. The naming rules for RP Shards only apply to player characters.

    RP naming policies are usually the same across the board in many MMOs. If you are on a RP Shard/Server/Realm you are required to have a birth name. No mother would name their child The Dark One.

    As Remi said, he asked why his name was forced a change and we gave him an answer. The naming rules for RP Shards are different than those on PvE and PvP ones.

    I'm not trying to argue or 'flame'. I just don't see why some nicknames are accepted in the rp community and some are not. Again, I can see why lol-phrases are reported... but I see a lot of names that begin in 'celestial' or 'mystic' or names that are otherwise obvious attributes and not "birth names" and they seem to belong in rp guilds and have been around.

    Why some and not others? Serious question, not a flame.

    Under the naming policy it states

    9. Comprised of partial or complete sentences that are obviously out of place (e.g., "Getpwned", "Luvtodance", etc), though compound names that are fitting of RIFT, its people, the actions taken therein, and its setting are acceptable. Compound names are an important and valid part of every fiction, and ours is no different.
    So... Compound names are ok if they fit in Telara. Hmm? Yes. I see nothing wrong with nicknames. Does a birth name really matter to an Ascended (depending on your personal 'story').

    It is a given rule on the server, whether the GMs are consistent about responding to reports of it or not. And just for the record, I report -anyone- I see with a compound name. RP guild or no.
