Bad Names

[Hokuten]

* At 4 o'clock am, 16th day of the 7th shard, fifth solstice, 5th orbit,
* Hokutin the neutral Pixie has chosen to join our quest for glory!
* Character the neutral Pixie has chosen to join our quest for glory!
* Emote the neutral Pixie has chosen to join our quest for glory!


Knightwolf, Lmao, ****, and Bigbird all rank up there too - and they're all real names that have been used.

My idea is that the database including all existing player names should be expanded to include foul language, common acronyms, and names that no longer exist. This way, we get closer and closer to a game that doesn't allow people to sneak these illegal names in.

In addition, how about a "four letter" rule? Upon entering your name - the MUD would check it against the current name database. If the first four letters of the name you want are identical to those of any current player/mob/banned name, the name is declared illegal.

Just a thought, in light of the recent barrage of bad names...
