I noticed in some chat yesterday that players are commenting on seeing more "WoW'ish" character names appearing across all the servers. Maybe Turbines ad's are encouraging more WoW'ers to try out LotRO suddenly.
I took it from the discussion that those are "childish" or names irrelevant to the Lore/ particular setting. It's hard to say what they might be to each person although the, "I know it when I see it" quote seems to fit here. :clown:
I've seen a few in LotRO but all-in-all not like I saw when playing WoW. The usual's: "Dingdong," "Frito," "LoveMe" "Loneranger" etc.
The moderators do a good job of weeding out the "bad" ones, with some fast response times. A friend had his name of "Gandalfsfire" edited to "NewnameG" (I think) within 10 minutes of someone "complaining" about it. Seems anything close to copyrighted names in the game are edited.:bite:
Seeing Hobbit players with names like: "Fuzzyfeet, Minnow, or Acorn" seems to fit though. Tough call on what might bug some players, I guess if they irritate you enough you could just not interact with them.
Even names that try to include every letter in the alphabet like "Canuckistanian" can bug ya...:nuts:
