World of Warcraft: Forever players banned for inappropriate names
Players in the World of Warcraft: Forever beta are exploiting the new forename and surname character naming system to create 'naughty' names, leading to beta access suspensions. Blizzard Entertainment is enforcing strict character naming policies, resulting in forced name changes and beta removals for extreme violations. Blizzard insists that actual humans are reviewing these names and warns against attempts to circumvent the system.
Senior game producer Tom Ellis stated that the company has reviewed all removed names and expressed no sympathy for those affected, urging them to 'be a better human next time'. Ellis added that the beta launched without a fully functional naming filter, leading to manual reviews and bans, and emphasized that the company can see all created characters.
