Law names

Your character's name must follow these rules:

1. It must not match or closely resemble the name of another player, a Caretaker, a mob, a command or a class. 2. It must not be profane, insulting or sexual, in any language. (Bad: Erotica, Arousal) 3. It must read as a name, not as a sentence, a title or an abbreviation. (Bad: IAmWarrior, Deathknight, TMG, DDKA) 4. It must not use leetspeak or slang spelling. (Bad: Killah, Wazzup) 5. It must fit a medieval fantasy world. Combined words are fine if the result sounds like a name. (Good: Earthstripe)

Names from books, films and games are allowed, as long as they follow the rules above.

Players handle bad names with the RIDICULE command. When enough players ridicule a name, its owner must choose a new one (HELP NAME). Ridiculing a name that follows these rules is abuse (HELP RIDICULE). In unclear cases a Caretaker decides, and that decision is final. If you refuse to choose a new name, a Caretaker will choose one for you.

These rules also apply to pet names. A Caretaker will rename or remove a pet whose name breaks them.
