Halló, ég ákvað að skella þessu inn til að koma í veg fyrir að allir myndu skíra dverginn sinn “Gimley!” og Undead gaurinn sinn “Leather gimp 3000”

Njótið vel!


World of Warcraft Naming Policy



“What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”
–William Shakespeare



This may hold true for roses, but there's nothing you can do to make an Orc smell good, so you might as well give yours a good name. One of the first adventures you will embark upon within World of Warcraft will be that of choosing a character name. While your subsequent exploits should prove infinitely more exhilarating, great care should be given to name selection. The first impression other players have of you will be based on your name, so it's best to start off on the right foot.


While choosing the perfect name for your character, guild, or pet is generally left to your discretion, we ask that you refrain from using certain types of names. These types of names are detailed in the categories below. If a name is found that violates these policies we will change the name and take further action if the name is offensive. In addition, the GM staff will only change a name that has been found in violation of this policy; we will not change character names on player whim alone.

Below are guidelines to help you determine whether or not the name you have chosen is appropriate for your character, guild, or pet. Hopefully, we encompass all manner of barred names; however there may be inappropriate names which do not fit into any of these categories. We reserve the right to evaluate each incident on a case by case basis, and in extreme cases, take action beyond what is detailed here.




Highly Inappropriate



Names which fall under the following categories are deemed to be highly inappropriate. Clarification on what constitutes each category can be found by clicking on the links below.
Racial/Ethnic
Extreme Sexuality/Violence
National
Sexual Orientation
Obscene/Vulgar




Though we have varying tolerance for repeated abuse of each category, any name that violates one of these categories will most likely:
Be assigned a randomly generated temporary name, to be changed via email
Be temporarily suspended from the game





Moderately Inappropriate



Names which fall under the following categories are deemed to be mildly inappropriate. Clarification on what constitutes each category can be found by clicking on the links below.
Harassing or Defamatory
Major Religions or Major Religious Figures
Blizzard Employees
Inappropriate
Illegal Drugs or Activities
Advertising




Though we have varying tolerance for repeated abuse of each category, any name that violates one of these categories will most likely:
Be assigned a randomly generated temporary name, to be changed via email
Be given a warning





Restricted



Names which fall under the following categories are restricted and will most likely not receive an account penalty on the first instance. Clarification on what constitutes each category can be found by clicking on the links below.
Trademarks
Real World References
Partial or Complete Sentences (Does not apply to Guild Names)
Pure Gibberish
Contain “Leet” or “Dudespeak”
Titles (Does not apply to Guild or Pet Names)




Though we have varying tolerance for repeated abuse of each category, any name that violates one of these categories will most likely:
Be assigned a randomly generated temporary name, to be changed via email





IMPORTANT


Repeatedly violating any area of the Terms of Use (ToU), including the areas detailed above, will often result in temporary suspension from the game.
This policy is not language-restrictive. Names that fall under this policy will always be subject to the repercussions listed, whether they are inappropriate in English or any other language.
Questionable names may not be changed immediately, but at a later date, pending further review. Blizzard reserves the right to change any names we deem inappropriate or that violate policy.
Players found to be in violation of the above policies may be assigned a randomly generated temporary name for their character, guild, or pet. An E-mail will be sent to the account's registered E-mail address with instructions on how to change his/her temporary name to one of their choice.




The bottom line is that we want World of Warcraft to be a fun and safe environment for all players. World of Warcraft is an MMORPG, and the key words are “Massively Multiplayer.” In playing this game, you will encounter thousands of other players who share different experiences and come from vastly different backgrounds. While a certain name may not be offensive to you, consider the fact that that same name may have a completely different effect on someone else. We've done everything we can to make this a great game but now it's up to you, the players, to breathe life into the world. Choose wisely my friends.
