Offensive Character Names...
So many people are always trying to force others do what they want.
Games are about having fun doing something you normally could not do in real life. STOP TRYING TO MAKE IT HAVE RULES LIKE REAL LIFE I want to have super powers, own things, be a different person or animal, kill things, blow things up, etc. I don't want people walking around crying about the lang. or about some ones name being offensive. This game is made for an adult if you cant handle it don't play [Mod Edit: Removed] LOL an edited for using a word that describes a cat or women's sexual area, what are we like 5....

Sorry, but if you're offended by words in a game you should probably grow thicker skin and get real problems.

" All you have to do is send an email to support@grindinggear.com with new name choices (usually around 3 to 5) and if they are available they will change it for you. No charge at the moment. I do hope they change it and start to charge for it at some point. “Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”

Blatantly racist names are not allowed and have never been allowed, report them and GGG will take care of it. However if you don't report it, they don't know there is a problem that needs to be fixed.

On the question where an offensive name starts:
Imagine you are talking to a person you treat with respect (f.e. your boss or your parents or your kid's teacher) and you tell them about that video game you're playing. If in that situation you would rather not mention your character's name, it's offensive. Language filter: I think it would be a bad solution for 2 reasons: 1.) If a word is offensive depends on the context it is used in. 2.) Without spaces, it isn't even possible (for a language filter) to tell if a blacklisted word isn't just part of a different word or even split between two different words. (f.e. "manaleech" includes "anal") A note about not using offensive names on the character creation screen wouldn't hurt though. Also people couldn't say "I didn't know i'm not supposed to glorify racism in my character name! o.O". ;) |

*Warning, parts of this post or it's entirety may be offensive to some, just like everything else that exists.
I prefer to see silly, vulgar, or clever character names verses the overly serious cheese ball ones like LordGoranTheBrave or IamGodsGloriousWarrior, I would rather see LordGoranTheGay and IamGodsGloryHole. The term "offensive" is so broad and vague, that what one person finds offensive, another might find perfectly respectable. I see names in game that I find offensive all the time, it's that players prerogative to have that name though, who am I to enforce my will upon that player? I don't like any names with religious overtones and I actually find them offensive. So if I see a user with the name "IFightForGodsHonor" should I report them? No, it's their name, their choice, their gameplay experience not mine. *The above names are just examples, if they are in use by a player I apologize I did not intend to post any actual user names.

" In that case you can never create a character at all and therefore be unable to live out your paranoia ingame. Great side-effect! :D " I fail to see the connection between your secret homosexuality and the name "Rainbow Warrior"... |
