Well honestly I should know better than to have waded into that swamp, that’s on me. Since we’re here now I’ll give one more update on this topic before getting back to actually working on launch instead of reading everyone’s hilarious variations of the N word. A couple of us spent the evening reading through everything again and checked every Reddit post and twitter and so far every one of them who’s posted their three cheeky or just inappropriate names has had a 4th character they have accidentally omitted. We’ve found exactly one person who we genuinely think was going for an RP sounding name and ran head first into the sad fact we have way too many derogatory terms for some people. I’m going to have yet another poor sod read through it again too so we have yet another perspective. What else have I seen a lot, ok yep, Blizzard is going extra woke or other crap like that. Nope, any name we revoked beta for yesterday would have not been allowed in any variation of WoW at any time in its history and would have earned you a suspension. We just manually ran names through the same system they would have been normally and then out of an abundance of caution read through every one. No new standards have been set or enforced for Forever’s Beta. Our naming filter wasn’t ready to rock for dual names but we naively thought after twenty years folks knew what was and wasn’t ok and we’d be fine for a few weeks of beta till it came online. Yeah. 0.18% of names earned an exit from beta. Please pick better names at launch. Everyone else, thanks for checking out our beta, have fun and keep the feedback coming.
