Naming Policy

Below are the guidelines to help you determine whether or not your name choice is appropriate for Public Name, Character Name, Guild Name, and IRC nick. There may be additional inappropriate names that do not fit into any of these categories. We reserve the right to evaluate each name on a case by case basis.

Public Names, Character Names, and Guild Names should:

· Be fantasy themed and reflect your individual personality.

Public Names, Character Names, Guild Names, and IRC nicks may not directly or indirectly:

· Have any racial, ethnic, national, or political reference or connotation.
· Have any reference or connotation to religious figures or religions.
· Refer to any sexual acts.
· Refer to violent real life actions or events.
· Refer to sexual orientation either of yourself or others.
· Refer to bodily functions or anatomy.
· Contain words that are pornographic or vulgar in nature.
· Be harassing or defamatory in nature.
· Advertise or refer to real life people, places, products, or events.
· Include trademarked names of products, services, concepts, or proper names.
· Refer to any illegal activities.
· Contain obscene words.
· Contain a string of nonsensical characters or gibberish.
· Contain slang or 'leet' speak.

If a player is found to have chosen such a name for their Character Name:

· The character name must be changed immediately to avoid account suspension. A GM or Prairie Games, Inc staff member can assist the player with changing their name.

If a player is found to have chosen such a name for their Guild Name:

· The guild will be forced to immediately disband to avoid account suspension of all members.

Conditions for Name Changes:

· Names are not changed unless they violate the Naming Policy.
