Character name change required.

#1 - Oct. 7, 2012, 10:26 a.m.

So i log in today to a prompt that says i need to change my character name “Misterbeefy” for inappropriate words/phrase?
Anyone know of a way to get rid of this prompt because there isn’t anything wrong with my character name……

Edit: Out of curiosity i have tried a variation of the name…. “Mister Beefy” is already taken….and im not sure why that is when its the same name as mine but “taken” must mean that its not been flagged for inappropriateness ….im not trying to sound like a little cry baby (and i know i am) but in all the moderator posts i read about fairness especially with this swearing issue…..where is the fairness in names????

And thank you for having the courtesy to post here to let us know all was well.

Sometimes people post here and then forget and when I do the look-up, well, it’s a bit of a waste of time. So posting to say something is resolved is very appreciated!

offensive words ..yes banned.. actual names ..they should be allowed.

Sorry, no. Guild Wars 2 is played by people from many dozens of countries, from a variety of cultures, ages, genders, and racial backgrounds. We’ll keep the game world pleasant by not allowing the names of mass murderers and other unsavory people. That’s policy and that’s just a reasonable practice.
