The new doll based on Cobiah’s sister doll… is named Polla.

I don’t know if anyone researched it before closing the decission on the name, but in spanish that name means d¡ck (or any other synonim for that)…

Is it too late to retcon it into a different name? It sounds really gross when speaking about it in spanish and no doubt we will have thousands of jokes on the topic in Baruch’s Bay (Spain’s Server), probably ranging from silly to elaborate and imaginative ones. The worst part is that it’s a girl’s doll U.U

We’ve passed this along to our LOC team just in case, thanks folks.

72 hour suspension @Devs for inappropriate name. I wonder if they will post here or the account forum to say they were suspended unfairly?

Punishment is they have to eat at “Old Country Buffet” or “THE OCB” as it’s known here at Anet for an entire week.

I’m told in Spanish, the doll has been re-named to Polly, our LOC team as usual was one step ahead. Me encanta localization!
