My account was just banned for 74 hours or somethin like that for an abusive name or somethin. I was lead to believe you’d get a warning or be asked to change your name before it led to banning and i would’ve deleted my toon if it had been requested. Just saying it’s a little hasty and kinda just stupid in my opinion to take such drastic measure’s into play for a simple name change.

The temporary suspension is your warning. Do it again and your suspended for life.

No no, that’s not accurate.

The first name block is given without a suspension (except in truly heinous cases). I’m assuming if you got a suspension, you’ve already been blocked in the past for an offensive name and you are continuing to try to use offensive names. When your suspension expires, choose a new name. Do not try to be cute, or clever, or engage in an attempted work-around of the system. Choose wisely.
