Re: Reserved Pet Names (An updated version of Restricted Nam
Found another one yesterday - tried to name my Undead Hawk Hitchcock.
Hitchcock is reserved . I didn't try alternate spellings (like Hitchcok)
So I went with Alfred - that one is OK!

Re: Reserved Pet Names (An updated version of Restricted Nam
Hardly. I don't want to see a pet named P**is (Uncensor that in your mind) or TurboNegro or things like that. Or any variation of a racist term. I'll ignore most things, even if they make me cringe, but outright bad is bad.Dr. Rockso wrote:people who Report for Pet names are sad little people

Re: Reserved Pet Names (An updated version of Restricted Nam
I agree, I always use á é í ó ú if there's a restricted name that I really like -- Players can't really complain, provided that it's not insulting and that the first 3-4 characters used are regular letters (like if something is named "ángrycat" then you can't /target it without knowing the á keystroke, whereas if it was named "angrýcat" then players can get away with typing "/tar angr".)Dr. Rockso wrote:There is a simple way past it just use a different character to replace a Letter
for example the name Diablo could be spelled using a different o like Diablø
or the name Skywalker could be spelled using a different e like Skywalkér
There are so Manny ways around name restrictions
I consider this is common courtesy when naming, I can't express how much it annoys me when you're PvPing and some guy named "çræêpýløsèr" runs around the corner in WSG and I want to "/tar" him and check his health/casting/target - as to anticipate where he's running - I don't play priest but this would've especially be the case when using Mind Vision.
You won't get banned for using the - á é í ó ú - worst case, you'll have to rename the pet (I would just replace the á with an à), but i've never had to rename anything, ever, and it's been a little under 6 years now.

We don't ignore it cause names like that are against ToS, whether you care about it or not.Dr. Rockso wrote:Then Just ignore it i dont see how you can get so wound up you feel that you need to report them over a pets nameNovikova wrote:Hardly.

Re: Reserved Pet Names (An updated version of Restricted Nam
Hm.. let me quote the types of names deemed inappropriate by Blizzard themselves. These go against the ToU, and thus, ARE REPORTABLE.Dr. Rockso wrote:Then Just ignore it i dont see how you can get so wound up you feel that you need to report them over a pets nameNovikova wrote:Hardly.

Once again, not only are most of these things offensive and at the very least tasteless, it IS reportable.Highly Inappropriate
Racial/Ethnic/National
Extreme Sexuality/Violence
Sexual Orientation
Obscene/Vulgar
Moderately Inappropriate
Harassing or Defamatory
Blizzard Employees
Inappropriate
Advertising
Restricted
Trademarks
Pure Gibberish
Contain "Leet" or "Dudespeak"
Titles (Does not apply to Guild, Arena Team or Pet Names)
Real World References
Partial or Complete Sentences (Does not apply to Guild or Arena Team Names)
So you're trying to say that if I see someone with a pet name (or character name for that matter) that is a racial slur, sexist, obscene, etc. etc. that it makes me 'wound up' and a 'sad little person' when I report them? I fail to see how. I pay my $15 a month for this game and I'd rather not have to deal with people who are racist/etc. and feel the need to display it on an MMORPG with the intent to offend people. Even if they think it's a joke, I don't, and neither does Blizzard.
I don't mind 'Ipwnyoo' or 'LOLCAT', or even people who don't name their pets. They are entitled to their own names because they pay their $15. But when I see someone with a rude, vulgar or prejudice name I will not hesitate to report it.

Re: Reserved Pet Names (An updated version of Restricted Nam
Actually, it's blizzard that asks the players to help them keep an eye out for those things. Thats why we have the 'report' button just like on a forums. Mods/GMs cant see everything.Dr. Rockso wrote:Let Blizzard worry about it they will catch them no one likes a Tattle Tale

Re: Reserved Pet Names (An updated version of Restricted Nam
Just drop the subject. Rockso, if people want to report an offending name they can. If you don't want to then don't.
Re: Reserved Pet Names (An updated version of Restricted Nam
Yeah, I have a feeling we are being trolled at this point. I'm done with this conversation now since Rockso obviously didn't get the meaning of my post and l doubt anything that can be said at this point would even be productive.

Re: Reserved Pet Names (An updated version of Restricted Nam
Name list should be updated to this point!
Can someone confirm the Lion-King names? In vanilla I had a friend who had Mufasa. (Or a similar name.) For his cat pet.

Re: Reserved Pet Names (An updated version of Restricted Nam
I think I had tried to name a pet, "Deadmire," and it wouldn't go through. I just wanted to name my Nether Ray after the subzone in Zangar. :[
If anyone else could attempt to confirm, that would be great. I want to help make this list as extensive as possible. ^__^

Re: Reserved Pet Names (An updated version of Restricted Nam
"Duchess" is reserved.
Which is a real shame, because although I understand that Blizzard wants to prevent us from giving ourselves titles through our pets, things like "Duke" and "Duchess" actually are commonly used pet names.

'Gremlin' is also reserved. Shame, cause that would've been a great name for a warpstalker. : /

That's odd...I had a friend with a Devilsaur named Duchess...of course, that was in the earlier WotLK days...it might've been added later...Kryte wrote:"Duchess" is reserved.

I have so many pets named of TFs, I'm not sure what could be taken...Rodimus, Jazz, Ravager, Barricade, Springer, Bluestreak, Blackout, Shrapnel, Rumble, Mirage, Ironhide, Nitro, Fireflight, Blurr, Airazor, Skywarp, Chromia, Excellion, Ruination, Drift, Safeguard, Skorponok, Gears, Magnus, Rewind, Steeljaw, Rosanna, Blaster, Soundwave...that's all the names I've used, and still currently use, for pets...it's really hard to block most TF names cause of how most TF names work...Taluwen wrote:

But under that logic, I don't get why some names are blocked...like Duke...I wanted to name a pet Duke! After Duke Fire from J-Decker!
O, I forgot! I know of another reserved TF name I tried one time...Primus is taken too! EDIT - Oops, I see it's on the list already lol
