Japanese Guild Names

XXLunnaXx - Heavens Tear

Useing Japanese words for guild name, is this a banable offence? or banable in anyway?

/Radar/ - Lost City

technically bannable, but the guild will just be forced to disband if it is reported

Please make every effort to create a name that is not inappropriate or offensive to other players. Players that do not follow these rules will be banned at the discretion of a GM.

You should NOT request to change your own name. If you feel your name does not follow any of the rules below, you should delete it immediately. Any request for a personal name change will be ignored. Repeat requests will result in a permanent ban.

Names should not include any of the following:

* - Impersonate PW Staff, moderators or anyone affiliated with PW Entertainment.
* - Profanity or obscene words.
* - Direct Harassment (For example, naming yourself BobSucks.)
* - Promote other games or advertise products.
* - Racial/ethnic remarks.
* - Sexual references such as diseases and body parts.
* - Gibbersh (For example, names containing random letters and numbers such as ffjvubjr or 3vj32j23.)
* - Foreign characters of any kind.
* - Personal information.

*** Similar names, reverse names and misspellings also apply to all of the above.

yea, i dont get it either. i understand with character names, but guild/pet names? makes no sense

XXLunnaXx - Heavens Tear

Well a lot of people I know recognize that as Memories when they see it and know the leader i guess really well. Good person from what i hear. Hope that don't happen she's got a good guild growing there and such. xD Memories is a good name, just is in Japanese, after all lol so hopefully they don't give her much guff about it.

seen plenty of shaodus named with russian and other letters. I see nothing wrong with that. what I have a problem with is someone naming themselves swearwords (mod or gm if you feel this to be violation simply delete this name) such as lady_bollocks this is swearing in england, why is it permitted on PWI?

XXLunnaXx - Heavens Tear

Yup i couldn't agree more. I can understand if someone did something involving a swear word but other then that i don't see it being a problem.

pfft, its international. Perfect World America would be PWA

Seriously. However as the gm's and mods etc etc speak english, the naming conventions and forums communications have to be in english.

Deceptistar - Sanctuary

i see more chinese names than JP. Some of those jp names dont even show up so its most likely chinese.

_Krue_ - Heavens Tear

ha i'm sure i know the exact guild your talking about to.

I submitted a ticket about that. Rules are rules, and if i can't do it, She can't either.

hey now, i'm all for using your native tongue for any names ingame (with exception of actual player-character name, for obvious complications with the ticketing system lol)

but fact = truth, and fact is, that this game really isn't "International" in any sense other than its servers are open to all regions that don't have a "Perfect World" version already <_<

Qwentomec - Heavens Tear

Lol you killed one guild and you wanna make another one already?

Absoluth - Heavens Tear

How hard is it to come up with a name using letters and not chinese/japanese alphabet symbols? If you're that much of a nationalist, just make your guild name 'iRjap' and people will get the idea.

Initian - Dreamweaver

No, no, I have to agree with Yuufa; if your game is open to all IP's around the globe you should, as staff, act along multiple verbal/cultural/whatever guidelines. If in America the word is never used, but in the UK it is commonly used as a swear, then it should be punished just as much as an American using the f word.

the game was developed in china. 'international' indicating it's coming to america, hence the generalized american rule set. a little biased? maybe. but entirely withing their legal rights as per the ToS presented to everyone upon download of the game b:bye

I read:
"I'm telling you, America has ego problems."

You read:
"Not worthy wasting our ToS on the rest of the world, which also gets to play."

"otherise objectional" which it's very region-specific, but several of us know this already, the world has become a lot smaller

another part it violates:

Sorry kids, PWI is American. What other kind of company would pull these sales? "Back by popular demand" is clearly an indication of how the game is based on American Democracy.

I swear to God, if somebody doesn't understand this is sarcasm....

Initian - Dreamweaver

Very much true, but the point being, if I formulate anything containing the f word, I will get in trouble. However, if I swear in, let's just stick with English, I will only get ranted about how biased America is for not telling me off. If the US of A wishes to become a role model on this planet (lol at me saying this), you will have to pay more attention to the rest of the globe or IP block everyone out-side your borders.

1: keep God out of your ****

2: there's been more than one American company added similar to their filters by request of its users. in fact I fronted those at those companies forums.

Ok. I can agree with that. However the fact remains that everyone has already agreed not to use such characters the moment you checked the 'yes, i agree to these terms' box and began downloading the game. While I too am not fond of people being forced to disband an entire faction over something fairly trivial, the rules are the rules.

Xeian - Dreamweaver

actually, it says nothing about other languges. there's more than one faction with non-american names. as far as I'm concerned, I really don't care what's there. that's between them and thier faction mates

Initian - Dreamweaver

Well, yes, true. I, myself, never use said characters in the game, even with full access to all of them. As you said, in my honest opinion a complete disband is extreme. A forced name-change through, I don't know, e-mail, maybe? It would sort things out. And if they change it to something else that is not following the ToS they could be disbanded at that point.

It should only matter if the name (in foreign) is offensive.

Initian - Dreamweaver

The same goes for you with that troll. My advice, keep the discussion going or kill it off with a rock-solid argument?

Lightaine - Dreamweaver

Well, the ToS is a pretty solid argument.

Legally binding contract > Anime Nerd's desire to look cool.

it doesn't say that in the tos, that's the point

Lightaine - Dreamweaver

There are a lot of things not included in the ToS. It's got plenty of vague catchphrases the GMs can use to do whatever they want.

For instance, find me the TW rules. Not there? Strange. I've heard all kinds of horror stories about people getting banned for conspiring with TW bidding. b:shocked

Initian - Dreamweaver

Then find me a catchphrase for writing out any Japanese Faction names in Romanji and I might be convinced properly.

Technically foreign, technically not allowed to be banned, hmmm.

Lightaine - Dreamweaver

Listen, kids, I'm not saying it's bannable. I'm saying the GMs can deem anything bannable. It's up to them. The ToS allows them to do whatever they want. That was my only point. Stop zooming in one this one part of the argument.
