Old Town

Hello guildies!

Nice to see the guild taking shape last night - now all we've gotta do is make sure we don't send any strange and spurious tells via guild chat and we'll be sorted

Don't think I'll be on tonight (maybe for a wee while after 12, not sure) but we should sort out some kinda guild meet-up at some point. Horde hunting anyone?

Had fun tonight into the barrens then down to gadgetzan with some horde bashing on the way (and they bashed us once to)

Whens the next one? think a couple of the group may have the pvp bug now

Few screenies of the first guild day trip

I'm not being funny at all here - but neuro you better change your name before they scrub your character.

I got my character scrubbed for being called:

cplcarrot and thepatrician.

I have the email somewhere.

Heres a copy of the mail - unfortunately it also happened AFTER I sold the character! (ooops)


Account Name: ***********
Type of Violation: Naming Policy breached, Partial or complete sentence and Gibberish
Character Name Involved: Cplcarrot, Thepatrician
Consequences for Account: Cplcarrot renamed and warning placed on account. Thepatrician deleted due to second offence.

Greetings Mr. ******,

We are writing to inform you that one or more of your character names are in violation of our naming policy and has been temporarily changed. The Character Naming Policy is part of the Terms of Use that govern your play in World of Warcraft and, as such, must be adhered to. As a consequence of this breach of our Naming Policy, a warning has been placed on your account and your second character has been erased. Please note that although, on this occasion, for the unmarked character, we consider this a relatively minor offence, should any further violations of our Rules and Policies occur, this incident will be taken into consideration when determining the consequences to your account.

If you wish to change the name of your character from the one which it has been given, please page a GM in-game within 7 days with a suitable replacement name which complies with the Character Naming Policy. If you do not do this, the temporary name will become permanent. Please include a choice of, at least, 4 names in your order of preference, in case the name you have selected has already been taken by another player.

Please review our current Rules and Policies, they can be found at:

Please do not reply to this email as you will receive an automated response.

Its worth mentioning that the "offence" that resulted in the deleted character was posting a complaint on the tech support forums.

Great game, shame about the hitlers that seem to GM it.

I especially like the final line - do not reply as it will get an automated response. Not too different from any GM fault call then

Surely the second offence was the second time they had found you with an illegally named character?

CplCarrot being the first?
