Blizzard admits World of Warcraft Forever's naming filter was accidentally too strict
Blizzard has acknowledged that the name reservation system for World of Warcraft Forever is experiencing issues due to an overly strict naming filter. Community Manager Randy Jordan confirmed that the filter is blocking names containing common strings like 'con', 'nom', and 'duc', which is causing frustration for players attempting to secure their desired character names. A fix is being rolled out, but the naming system's problems, combined with initial server struggles, have created a negative experience for pre-order customers.
