Are there any restrictions on what name I can choose for my character?
When choosing a name, please try to choose one which is both medieval and unique. Good names help add to gameplay and will allow you to forge an identity for yourself. Simply put, your name should NOT be:
- Nonsensical, unpronounceable or ridiculous.
- Profane or derogatory as interpreted in any language.
- Futuristic or common, such as 'Jill' or 'Laser'.
- Similar to that of any Realms Immortal, major mob, or equipment.
- Significant in history, mythology, or any religion.
- Comprised of various capital letters, such as 'BrACkkA' or 'CORTO'.
- Comprised of ranks or titles, such as 'Lord' or 'Master'.
- Composed of singular descriptive nouns, adverbs or adjectives, as in 'Heart',
'Big', 'Flying', 'Broken', 'Slick' or 'Tricky'.
- Any of the above in reverse, i.e., writing Jade as 'Edaj'.
- Any combination of singular descriptive nouns/adverbs or adjectives, as in
'Metaljacket Heartbound Earthstone or Softheart'.
Please keep in mind that names which were authed in the past do not validate
current name authing. Above are the guidelines which all immortals follow. In
addition, they may have their own reasons for denying your name. The final determination
as to the validity of a name on the Realms is the discretion of the Immortals
and is NOT subject to debate or discussion. If your name is denied, simply follow
the guidelines and try a new one.
