SOE STOLE MY MAINS NAME!Follow

3 years I've had the name, was the first toon I ever made, and is the toon I spend 95% of my time on.I have gone through the surname stealing thing over a year ago when they decided that after 2 years my surname was now offensive, but now I log in to find my name is changed, I cant loot or drag my corpse I was standing on in the guild lobby, I was booted from my guild, lost my friends list, and all my windows and hotkeys are reset. how the hell is anyone supposed to know who I am anymore? i spent a lotta time building a good reputation, now that is all gone. for $13 bucks a month I feel I should be entitled to keep the same name that they accepted so long ago and have been accepting since. WTF?! Am I the crazy one here? I dont know what they saw wrong with my surname (Spankin) but at least that people change a lot, but my surname is my signature, all my guild avatarts and log in names, my magelo, everything is tied tyo that name. So say good night to the bad guy everyone, you aint ever gonna see Pandorass again apparently.

Quit your whining and get on with life. You knew, years ago when you picked the name, that you would eventually get caught. Just be happy you got a few years with it.

Well the last name I can see being changed, but the first name really don't seem dirty unless the person who looked at it has a dirty mind. There are alot of names that have *** somewhere in them, that doesn't mean they are dirty.

I had a GM once force me to change a monk alts name. I had named him Shytor (as in Shy-tore). I had wanted to spell it another way but somebody had allready used it. Anyways a GM forced me to change it because he said it looked like sh*ter. That was never the plan but I was forced to change it. So apparently somebody with a dirty mind petitioned me (or he just caught me somehow).

I personalyl have no respect who try to nit pick at people's name and then rat them out. I mean if a person has a completely off the wall name that should never have passed the creation screen then fine. AFter all we gotta protect the children who are not supposed to be playing the game in the first place (its rated T for 13+ for a reason parents!) Don't tell me little billy who is 13 years old has never heard a dirty word. Your average school playground would be a R rated movie for the language kids use. And if your so offended by a off the wall name go play on the roleplayer server. Then you can listen to the Ogre players talk like a baby and threaten to eat gnomes all day long.

All of these are on your computer still under the old name. Look for the "Pandorass" named files in the EQ directory. Now cut and paste these into the files with the new name.

Usually after three years of having a name, you are probably a victim of someone reporting your name. You more than likely flew under the radar of the SOE naming police, but somebody probably saw it and decided to report you.

LOL, I have a character called ' MILF ' in WOW !!

I do as many as I see. They are after all rules of playing the game. I don't think the Pandorass is real bad, if I was renaming you I would just have made your name Pandoras if it was the only name you hade. But if you had Pandorass Spankin then you did it just to be an *** and/or childish. So I would have renamed you "Noobwhoknowsnothing Intraining"

Oh god I bet I see that name next week! hehehehe

QFT.


You are entitled to play their game, IF you follow their rules. That is it.


Probably should have thought of that before you made such a stupid name.


Yup.


Yeah, sure you didn't.


Good night.


You went through the effort of creating an account for that lame post?

There is a happy ending to this story, /petitoned to get name back, was denied. So I did what i was told, made my list of choices I would like ( 1.Pandoras 2. Pandora 3. Pand 4. Pillowpants 5.Toonformerlyknownaspandorass) and then sat and pitied myself for awhile playin Scarface cuz I didnt want to wear down my rez timer until that got worked out. Then I check back in after work to see which one of my choices I would now be saddled with, and lo and behold the GM's reversed their decision and gave me back the name Pandorass! Now I shall go forth and sing the praises of the great GM's and their all powerful, all knowing, brains of immense size. Who says ya cant fight City Hall huh?

I was told that the name Fingered was not acceptable one time. So I guess they better remove "Fingered Skeliton" from Kurns.

I dont get it. Really why they hell are so many of you being ******** to him. He was trying to name himself Pandora and couldnt get it to take. So he got Pandorass. Its not anywhere near offensive its a stretch to even make it offensive it would be like banning anything named assassin cause *** is in it twice. I mean hell how many versions of Legolas have we all seen, there is even a guy on my server named Velkator. Its like your little kids who have to laugh cause someone said the word wiener while your on a cookout cooking hot dogs. Its such a huge stretch to make that name offensive that it really is that silly. At a guess the surname came from the other Beavis and Butthead wannabes that continually pointed out that his name had the word *** in it. But you cant give someone the benifit of doubt?

To the OP, I am glad you got your name back, sorry you got ******* and sorry so many people here cant seem to empathize with stuff like not being able to get your bodies when they changed your name.

Well obviously he didnt have to stretch far to make it offensive....He named himself Pandorass spankin its clear what his intention was with that name....

No one gets banned for having an objectional name, you are just forced to change it.

Yes, I will report egregious (look it up) behaviour anytime. I do not have to suffer foul language, seeing as it is against the EULA, so I exercise my rights and use the tools provided (/petition /report /ignore). Whatever action SOE takes after that is their responsibility.

If someone gets banned it's not my fault because I dropped a dime on them.

In every dispute I have seen, the GMs I have dealt with do not unilaterally ban someone based on the word of one player. I know some people who got banned for ridiculous reasons before, but never for one person ratting on them.
