Last night I was in qvic, on my 70 Pally "Midol" with a guildmate "Strix". We were getting my left bracer for qvic so I could use my Tacvi Pattern and get full Tacvi (I already had everything else.)
The server reboots and I decided to just go to sleep, it was in the early morning hours. When I tried to log back in this morning, it says this when I attempt to connect my account "Jamez" to the EZ server. "This account is currently banned. Please contact customer service for more information.

Makes sense. Okay then. Restarting on another account then, I guess.
If that's okay?

Hey Hunter, what kind of pattern do you follow for these bad names? Midol doesn't really flare up my spider sense to be worthy of baning, unless he had any other chars on the account named otherwise.

I mean, is a report enough or does it require some common sense. So there doesn't start a report-war between people who don't like eachother making up name meanings.

Think Hunter follows the old EQ naming Policy. Character Naming Policy
So Midol would have fallen into the category of anatomical reference, since an immediate search of Midol on any search engine immediately references menstrual symptoms.

I was just asking because if I find my accounts banned because someone found a referenece in old egyptia or high delkian language to "insert name" being connected to vaginal track or uterus, I'd really be frustrated.

I don't know anyone who has ever been banned for a naming violation because their name had some far off obscure meaning. I have however seen people banned for an offensive name that had some other obscure meaning that wasn't offensive. I think Hunter uses average and normal common sense when determining that a name does not belong on his server.

This is the official rule, it is taken seriously and in a very strict way. That being said it's not terribly hard to abide by this simple rule...

"NO BAD WORDS
Offensive words in names or public chat will not be tolerated, such as anything sexual, racist, hateful, etc. " - http://ezserver.online/forums/index.php?topic=8.0

Don't name your toon Midol Curesmycramps or Viagra Getsmehard or even Mainline Heroin (I can't see this directly violating the rules.. but I wouldn't even go there with Hunter). Stick with silly names or fantasy names, or if you're really pissed and want to make a statement name your toons stuff like Xxxxxa Xxxxxb Xxxxxc. I personally read a lot of fantasy books so most of my toon names come from Robert Jordan books or from music/movie references.

Clever catchy names are cooler when they have some sort of reference or tie-in to the character itself. Whether it be a class reference, race (EQ races), or phrase of meaning, it should have something to do inherently with the character.

My ranger has always been Shaggio. The EQ naming filter wouldn't let me use Shaggy (my RL nickname), so I mixed it with "coolio" (which I say a lot instead of cool), and came up with Shaggio.

I've had problems with it on various games though, because of the "Shag" in it. I'd hope that people could look past the shortening of it to that, to not want to report me for it. But then again I keep mostly to myself.

But things like "Brakkin Bonnes" for a warrior, or "Aether Nether" for a mage should be what people are coming up with.

names of some of my toons:
Cleric - Sutures
Sk - Thorasic Vertebrae
Bard - Ziggie Stardust

oh by the way, if you see my bard Ziggie on, this is not the player Xiggie. I tried to make it Ziggy but it was taken. Just wanted to put that out there, cause I've had a few tells, lol.

Whats really funny is that Xiggie was my third choice when I came up with the name. First choice was Ziggy, Second was Xiggy, third was Xiggie. That was back in 01 though.
