I often like to have funny names or something that plays with words ... my main character on klingon is called "I Play Nude" , i see no problem with this name but what i do have a problem with .. is people constantly messaging me saying "reported FYI , expect a name change" and then putting me on ignore ... then i see these people swearing in the next pvp match i play etc etc tbh take a look in your back garden before you start complaining to me.. i called a friend of mine an idiot and another bloke told me to watch my language and then 2 minutes later he was swearing his head off at everyone.. srsly its a name and its a bit of a laugh.

    Eh... I don't bother to talk to people with names like yours. No offense to you, but generally people with names like that are idiots, have no concept of the game, and act like children. Then again thats just my experience and opinion.

    Also, I personally still view MMORPG's as... somewhat of an MMORPG. I don't Role play, but I still feel since its a game, my character deserves a somewhat natural name.

    Names like yours make me reminisce about AoL chat channels during my middle school days, and believe me, nothing good comes from those memories.

    I've seen you. Wasn't your ship the USS Yay Boobies?.... or something similar. Anyways it(you) was lame, atmosphere breaking, and made me /facepalm. Just so I'm not completely picking on you, I've seen a klingon guy names PROCTOLOGIST in all caps. That's just as bad.. I only tolerated him because he was an agro magnet in pvp and let me get a high score. :D

    The reason people are reporting your name is because its actually against the rules that Cryptic has set for the game. Specifically, it falls under the "(No Names) Comprised of partial or complete sentences (e.g., “Welovechicken”)" policy.

    I tried to pick a name suited to my race.

    My ship however is another issue.

    I picked something that would be remembered 400 years from now.

    Lady GAGA. The next Michael jackson. No better than that.

    On a side note I did jokingly name my borg "Smor Gus Borg" and his ship "Buffet" but... I will never play him, and most likely will delete and remake him. It was made as a joke and to be funny, but its definitely just that.

    I live in Japan and am currently at work. The game has been up when I have gone to play...

    No clue what this servers being down thing is about. *shrug*

    Well, as others have mentioned the problem is it IS against the rules; further, it ruins immersion for others. However, those people who are messaging you about reporting you are being childish. Not for reporting you, they should. You are, after all, freely breaking the rules that you agreed to and in such a way it's causing others to lose fun in the game. But gloating about it? They should grow up; they're being more childish then you are.

    I understand your post, but would that mean my ingame name for my borg is also wrong then... Mine is twentyofplenty, which is also a complete sentence in its own rite...

    But i do agree that names like, i play nude is not needed, and it is not even funny. I might have found it funny when i was 14, but since i am now 32, i am passed the nude is funny stage :)

    Yea. I understand people wanting player names to be remotely close to "real names," I'm not gonna report you, cause its not that big of a deal for me.


    Ship names are Free for all as far as i'm concerned, I mean, if i was a pron star, and i had a Yacht, I'd probably call it the "U.S.S Yay Boobies!" too.

    Liberated Borg, Cpt Crapholder of the USS Packrat.

    Banker character (obviously), my other characters have real names.


    I don't mind the "goofy/unrealistic" names out in the field as long as they are at least witty.

    my ship isnt called yay boobies... i find my name a little bit different and a little funny the only reason ive kept the name for so long is because people recognise me from other games.

    So all the borg names are against the rules technically? lol

    Only thing I really think is stupid is that they name character names NOT unique. So if you make yer character William T Cobb, and someone else did the same, and that guy was a full on TRIBBLE to everyone they met, youd have that initial reaction every time you met some theyd met. Or Ninjaing (though Idk how thatd even work in this) Things like that.

    That's why you have an @name. You should be looking at that, not the particular characters name.

    It also means that if you find someone is an obnoxious ****, you can just put their @name on /ignore, and never have to deal with any of their characters again.

    if you have used the name in the past then you should be used to the complaints etc. I have yet to play a mmo that names like that weren't subjected to that and more. Common sense to expect it.
    Hows the old saying go?
    If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.

    no offense but...i find it plain stupid to use such names. Yes it may be a game but the hell..."I play nude"? I really don't see the funny part in such a name and if 1 person starts..where will this end?...it can only get worse and i'm fully against such names. Suppose enough children play this game too.

    If you have something neutral like "i'm a flying ducky" then take it if you must..:confused:

    I really hated those kind of names when I first started playing MMOs, but after a while I've just come to completely not notice it, and it no longer draws me out of my immersion. I would never be so pedantic as to report someone for a name like "I Play Nude" but yeah, reading the rules, it is technically against the rules. I doubt they're going to be able to really enforce the complete or partial sentence rule, and I think GMs have much bigger things on their minds at the moment anyway...

    ...Doesn't bother me, but personally I don't see why you don't give your character/ships a proper name?
