JediMasterShake Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Licensing agreements that protect against trademark infringement.

GnatB Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) 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. That reminds me. Has anybody found the time travel machine so I can travel into the future to meet Yoda, Vader, or Luke S? I'd really like to see how close their NPC likenesses are to the movies. Anyways, call it unoriginal if you want, but most of my characters have their names loosely based on characters in the books, with slightly altered spelling or swapped vowels or maybe seems like an etymological ancestor in some other fashion. (hey, spellings change over 3000 years or so, right?) like I might make a smuggler named Tolan or maybe Card. 'Course, trying to name character "Darth" anything also violates that naming restriction of no titles.. I did find it interesting my dad went to some website that "randomly" generates starwarsish names. The name he picked was a character I actually recognized from the books, and it went through w/o a hitch. Far as I know there have been no complaints and he still has it.

ArchivedData Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Don't forget the people who have their Legacy name set to their main character's name, you see people like this: "Darth Darth-maull Darthmaulll" That's gotta be fun to explain to everyone, right? Edit for clarity: That's "Title, Name, Legacy" Edited February 2, 2012 by ArchivedData Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vynthus 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. Oh man, hamsolo is such a funny name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmcJoseph Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Does that mean I can't use Django, and no it's not a rip on Jango Fett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crunkerone Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Does that mean I can't use Django, and no it's not a rip on Jango Fett. Well it is an old western and is getting remade, so whether it's considered popular or not, I don't know, but I'm looking forward to what Quentin Tarantino does to a western....

SnapWolf Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Blizzard would take such a case rather softly. However, Bioware won't. AHEM - EA - AHEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
