Roleplay Realm name restrictions

I am planning to role on the RP-PVP server on SOD. I see in official rules there are additional naming restrictions for RP servers. Do Blizzard actually enforce these? I swear I have seen a lot of stupid names on retail RP realms. Here is Blizzard’s official policy.

BLIZZARD NAMING RULES

Additional Rules for Role Playing Realms

World of Warcraft Role Play (RP) realms are intended to provide players with an added level of immersion in the game world and must avoid being disruptive to the world. Examples of common unacceptable or disruptive RP names include (but are not limited to):

  • Non-medieval or non-fantasy names (For example: Slipnslide, Robotman, Discoinferno)

  • Names that reference well known people, characters, brands, places, or icons (For example: Britneyspears, Austinpowers, Mcdonalds, Georgewashington, Newyork)

  • Names that consist of multiple words (For example: Inyourface, Welovebeef, Howareyou, Sixtyseventy)

Blizzard reserves the right to assign a random name to any character violating our RP naming policy. For more severe or repeat violations, we may apply additional penalties to the account.

This is not the SoD forums, you need to move the thread with the pencil.

Naming rules are only enforced if the player is reported.

No I do not the question I asked applies to all roleplay realms/classic roleplay realms in general. There is nothing special about SOD when it comes to naming rules. Please do not backseat moderate.

EDIT: Having said that I have hearted your comment as you did try and answer in second half. Thank you and have a good day! Forgive me for my harsh initial response. Peace! :slight_smile:

The RP naming rules are the same no matter the game version.

Though if a name can be justified properly then they will allow it.

I think I actually remember you from these forums years ago I am sorry I was rude to you. I’m not planning to make a rule breaking name I made this thread for no reason to be honest. Good luck in Azeroth! :slight_smile:

They do if you get reported. But they don’t actively monitor or check names.
