hahahaha ZERO culture!

Post by Chrisax »

Rulzie wanted to call one of his characters "Janus" based on the roman god Janus (the one who gave his name to "January")... here is the reply...

[Athen Paladins] Rulziekeep: [Name-Request]: The name that you have requested violates a rule in the naming filter. We cannot change your name to the one you have requested. <- Janus?
Zero :graduate: among the names service or what?

I believe that the name Janus is blocked by the naming filter as Janus is a legacy long-term character, the supposed head of Omni-InternOps. Please correct me if I'm incorrect on this.

That could be a good point Meta. I'll do some testing when I have time but I doubt it as, in the past, some people could call their characters "silverstoneX" or something before they had to change it. I think it's more of an issue with "anus", like the ridiculous ban of a character last year because someone didn't understand the meaning of the name (can't remember the case though).

Nevertheless, if it's really because of a legacy character, then.... it's not fun anymore! :evil:
