I understand that RP is not required here, but to be honest I never expected to see players named "Kids in Africa" and guilds named "plx don't kill"... isn't there a requirement to have at least decent names? I am new to the shard so I don't mean to start complaining or anything, just wondering what other people think. I don't mean to impose my RP on others, but others should not ruin my RP either...and it's hard to keep a straight face when I guy named "Budweiser" walks by you...

rules say as long as it's something not racial or offensive + isn't something like 0krag3 it's fine

RP here is not forced.. so people are allowed to have any name they want.
I always rp and i dont see any problem on talking to someone with a strange name.. if you stop to think about it most names would have to be medieval...

Just imagine that those people are crazy or are using an alias.
For example, my name in real life isn't Eru and I'm pretty crazy.

i dont see how's it offensive..
offensive are names that actually swear against an etiny or anything else, like: Gays Sucks, I hate ******s... those kind... i see no problem on a name like Gay Power or Turbo Niga..
in my work theres a guy there who's black and we all call him black, and he's not offended because we dont mean to be offensive!! its offensive by the time you mean to be offensive IMO..

And BTW, if I was red and met a member of the guild "plx don't kill", I would kill him just because of that name... it's like asking for it

im pretty sure its not, in brazil at least... there are nicknames here such as pretinho, which is little black... and its not racist at all if its not said to be racist.
here we have to follow laws but each case is a case and judges judge on the subjective way!
