I just don't use names for group members (disabled this function in my UI) - because I know who is in group and to heal somebody: Groupwindow/Healershelper (+ face).

I think you can show me a picture of nearly every RvR active Alb&Hib + every level 50 Mid I guess I will know 95% of their Names (beside lastname)

imho the restrictions on lastnames should all be lifted and then people can /report if they feel one special lastname is a problem for X or Y reason

that's sad that moloto is no more on uthgard ... he is good at /report names

Yeah remove this senseless restriction :>

the restriction is as mentioned useless and will only block ppl from making normal names like McAlister however it wont stop ppl from making ooc names like Iownyouall (admins are controlfreaks after all, right?)


/signed

yup they are.

any updates on that "stupid" restriction ?


like when it's lifted and removed forever ?

*bump*

What's up with this? Most people are against this restriction, and it's not livelike:P

Question: Why couldnt I give my skald the lastname "Huntaofdalostremainz"?

Yer, it's just silly.

People still run around with names with more capitals, just becuase the made them before the rule got implemented.

So actually you're just preventing newer players from making a normal lastname.


Haven't seen ANYONE so far that actually supports this rule.

Fix please!

They have some weird word filter too. You can't use "master" or "fumble" in your last name either.

china uses filters too, do we have a red book dynasty here?

Probably because all the VWs wanted "Fumblemaster2000" as their lastname

Request ^^

almost all my chars have the last name MacCulloch
but my Hero

Salidorx ^^ if its not a Bother could a GM give my hero the common last name that all my other toons already have? :+)

Still no reply from staff.
Why was this restriction implemented?

1) It's not livelike.
Uthgard pretends to be pre 1.80 classic, no? This restriction is against this concept.

2) Uthgard was designed to be OOC (out of character).
This is more like a roleplaying idea, even though it prevents (semi-)roleplayers from picking the lastname of their choice (see Salidor MacCulloch).

3) Flamers are not prevented of using attention-whoring names.
I could still lastname my char "Intantpwnagefrombehind", what's the deal about capital letters? If a name/name-lastname-combo violates the rules, warn him, change it, ban him for some days, whatever.

4) This is not kindergarten.
The word-filter script is not that bad, it prevents specific and selective insultings. On the contrary, the "NoCapitalLettersInLastname"-rules just limits all kinds of creativity given by the possibility to design a part of your character by choosing an individual lastname.

5) This is not kindergarten. (II)
We know the rules. If someone violates them, warn it, kick it, ban it. But please don't just punish everybody on the server by a global resctriction of capital letters in lastnames.


Thank you,
