Guildrum Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I am not sure if I can take him seriously... He wants to make his Zabrak Sith named Darth-Maul, and his avatar name is iloveicarly, and he doesn't understand that copyrighted names for characters is against the ToS.

Hebrind Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I remember walking around WoW and if I saw anyone called "Legolas" or "Gimli" I'd start to fanboy them; "Wow, Legolas, is that really you? Wow, This is so cool, I've met Legolas!" etc etc. I'd basically waste their time. I'm such a d*ck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garodan Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Can't tell if serious or not. After looking at the name I'd have to say not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idazed Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Section D. from the Rules of Conduct. Link: http://www.swtor.com/legalnotices/rulesofconduct Naming Policy When creating a character or guild name for Star Wars: The Old Republic, it is encouraged that you select a name that reflects the theme of the game. The guidelines listed below outline the types of names that you can NOT use, and apply to both player or character names, as well as guild names. You may not use any names that violate the General Rules. This includes the use of names that are hateful, defamatory, racist, ethnically offensive, obscene, vulgar, sexually explicit, or any other language that is offensive in nature. You may not use names that are harassing or defamatory to other players or employees of EA, BioWare or LucasArts, e.g. EASUX, Timsretarded, and Biowaresux. You may not use names of any EA, BioWare, or LucasArts employee or service related to Star Wars: The Old Republic. You may not use names of copyrighted or trademarked characters, materials or products, e.g. Coca-Cola or Dr. Pepper. You may not use names from popular culture or media, e.g. Lady Gaga or George Lucas. You may not use names that are religiously or historically significant, e.g. Jesus, Winston Churchill. You may not use proper names of areas within Star Wars for character names. Guild names, however, MAY use the proper names of specific areas to help promote role-playing and realm pride, e.g. Defenders of Tython or Protectors of Hutta. You may not use proper names of non-player characters within Star Wars: The Old Republic, e.g. Darth Malgus, Satele Shan, Yoda, Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker. You may not use names containing titles or ranks within them, e.g. General Supertrooper, Captain Tim, Darth Timmy, Knight Wakey. You may not use names that refer to drugs or that are drug related. You may not use names that contain an inappropriate phrase, sentence or any fragment of a sentence or Leet speak, e.g. uberhaxer, xxspeederxx, lolface, rofl, Noobwhacker, TimmyF**k, kock, fuk. You may not use misspellings or alternative spellings of names that violate any of the above rules, e.g. Hamsolo, Yooda, DorthVader. You may not use gibberish names when creating character, e.g. ajsdu, rifndsw, qweszs. If you violate any part of the above Naming Policy you will either be assigned a new name, or given the option of changing the name. In addition to this, your account could incur a penalty up to and including account closure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
