What will you name your Disciple of Khaine?

[Thoroar]

I have nothing witty or clever for this name brainstorming topic, because I personally have no idea what I could possibly call a Disciple...

So, what do you think? We have healers that can drain life, put up dots and can hold their own in melee. We know they dress in spikey dark clothes, with wicked swords and what looks to be like bladed chalices...

What are you going to name yours?

[Lord Tareq]

*Disguised Anointed of Slaanesh* :p

[Baradun]

Charred burning elf flesh flecked with twisted bits of exploded bomb?

Failing that, "Lord Foofums Darkbooty"

[Dranex]

Dranex Vandaren (van - dare- N) or somethign along those lines..kinda just made up a last name on the spot..but Dranex is a very cool sounding name for a dark elf if you ask me..and i made it so..:D im happy

[Murasume]

HemoglobinCleric

[Scerce]

Drizzephiroth, most likely.

duh.

[Covenant Prophet]

Serik. It means "support" in Kazakh. :D I thought that was fitting...

[Sindal]

Sindal Bloodstorm

[Navras]

[Rik Riorik]

If I were an inherently evil person I would make a Disciple on each of the RP realms in Europe with a certain forumgoers name. However I am not that inherently evil ;) .

[Abus]

I'm really excited about Disciple, i think its the missing class that i was looking for! I can't think of a name yet though ><. I'm the kinda guy who uses the same names in MMOs over and over but at the moment i have 4 classes i wanted to play and only 2 names.

Black Orc - Abus
Shadow warrior - Essari
Witch hunter - ????
Disciple - ????

I need a Dark Elf name suggestion.

thats what im worried about ... I plan on calling mine Khallus Drakul (i use this in most games)

just don't know if thats dark elfish enough either hehe.

[Asuril]

I think that Ayetalam and Khallus Drakul sound like they're attempting to sound like Dark Elf names. In my books, that's enough. Infinitely better than something like "Drisstt Sepherith" or "Beastmaster Inhiding"

@ Ayetalam: if you're worried about actually being pretty legitimate, I'd recommend swapping BloodRupture for another made up word. Ayetalam Veraith or somesuch. The habit of mashing together two words and using it as a name isn't a theme that occurs often in Warhammer. (well, Orcs do it)

I'm starting to think Bloodstorm may not be a good last name for my Disciple but I can't come up with anything better.

Sindal Arcanium sounds to HE for me

You seem quite set on something based on actual words. Is that the case or would something without a meaning that merely sounds wicked be alright?

Any chance you might be able to think of something that works better with Ayetalam. MOs tof those dont fit well, or maybe im just not pronouncing htem right.

Or if you know a different variation of Ayetalam that might work. No clue. Just want something fitting for the character. I always have trouble with names. Hence i always used Daegalus, its unique, no one uses it, and im hte only one on the planet to use it so far. So it works, but it doesnt sound too Dark Elvish? Or does it?

{Edit} actually Ayetalam Souldrain sounds like it works. Any thoughts?

{Edit} actually Ayetalam Souldrain sounds like it works. Any thoughts?

I like Daegalus, and for me it sounds more like a Druchii name than Ayetalam, but there is nothing wrong with that, either. The thought of adding and r to Daegalus, making it Daregalus, struck me, as Druchii have a twisted sence of regalness about them. But to my ears it lessened the name.

As for a last name, I like (if I go with a name composed of meaningful words) to use a name that fits the character. Alliteration can work nicely, so if your character is a corsair or a noble, for example, we could use Ayetalam Arkreaver, Arksailer, Arkraider or Arkraider. After all, names like these will more often than not have an origin in what the owner of the name or his bloodline is associated with.

Some brainstorm-produced names:

Ayrael
Draelus
Dyrvalius
Dayarsul
Anarsyl

or:

Asurend
Blackreaver
Moonpale
Doomsong
Goredreamer
Grimfate

If nothing strikes your fancy, mix it up a little, and feel free to tell me about your character if you wish my aid!

Thanks a lot for the help on this. and I agree wih Sindal, great pun on Asurend.

I really don't see any issues with Druchii last name "semi-titles" that consist of 2 words, it seems fairly common since 2 of the best known Druchii characters have such a last name.

Please don't use that first name in game, Its my actual name (With an I instead of an E), and i would actually feel a pang of guilt killing you, repeatedly.... for taking my name and making me kill myself...

I have to go now the doctor says its time for my medication and if I'm good they will let me out of the padded room and have pudding for desert.

(Note: SeriouslyIt is my actual name....just find it really odd that someone is using it as a fantasy name... I wonder if someone from a fantasy universe were trying to come up with a 'fantasy name', would it be Joe Smith? Would Tecils Idea of a 'fantasy' name be Mike?)


My name is Tariq Abdul Kareem Ali and I approved this crazy rant, and so did my cousin Tareq Shumate, and my cousin Tyree Burton(pronounced Taree). Don't use our names in the game, it would be odd...Its a real name not some fantasy name like Tecils or Morathi.

PS: If your actual real life name is Tecils or Morathi and you don't come from some deep part of Africa that no one has ever heard of, then your parents should be beaten, repeatedly, about the head with a book of baby names.

[Sindal]

I'm gonna have to agree, that is really odd...

Oh come on Avatar. You really cant make such demands about a character in a video game (well I guess you can because you just did :mrgreen:)

Its obvious by Tareqs forum name that this is most likely from a beloved past character either in a PnP or MMO. You shouldnt begrudge someone using what they consider a name they like just because its similar to your RL one in sound and spelling. Think of it as more a compliment that someone would think your name good enough to make their own. :cool:

And interestingly.......I have named one of my past characters, Tyree but its meant to read "tie-re" (I incidently blatently stole this off one of the characters in the original Star Trek :p)

[Lhel]

A name is a name, not the end of the world. It's bad enough that some take a name so seriously that they can't see the big picture.

In Norway a very common name is Odd, nothing strange about it, it's been used since the Viking age and refers to a small piece or land or rock sticking out into a body of water (Odde). Bring the same quite normal name to Britain however, "Hello, I'm Odd, how are you this morning". That will give you a few raised eyebrows at the very least.

To demand that you don't use that or that name is fine in itself, you have freedom of speech, just don't expect most to do anything but laugh at the concept of refusing others to not use a name of some sort.

There are of course some names that might be a trade concept or in some form protected. Also religious names tend to be banned from MMO's and online games in general. There are enough conflicts there if religion is not involved.

I'm sorry, while I understand what your aiming at, Lord Tareq Darksoul is something I made up many, many years ago for a Dungeons&Dragons character, at an age where I never heard of for example Tariq Aziz. Since then I have ever kept it. I live in europe so for me its quite an exotic sounding name, and it sounds harsh and compact like any druchii name would be. I'll also play on a european server so doubt I'll break the immersion of too many people just with my name.

There are so many names in the world, many names in warhammer are "real" names. How about all the empire names that are real german/dutch names, the Elven Goddess Isha is a hindu word, Caledor (on of the high elf phoenix kings) is also a french name, Malus is a latin word used for many species of plants, etc..etc..

All in all I think your a bit overreacting, but I'd like to see you try killing me in the game;)

[Thrakkesh]

It's your fault for having a weird name.

(I'm kidding. Also my name really is Thrakkesh. Okay, it isn't. It's Evan.)

[Avatar Of War]

I just stated that it would be odd for me to see it and to please not use it. Its up to you if you do or not.

And asking politely is not over reacting. What if your name was Mike Normal Guy, and you went to play fantasy game, you see all named Thrakash,Minogolopolas, Tecils Gonnabeatyou, Tarellian Zellian, and then one day your on a battlefeild and there stands Mike NormalGuy... Chosen LVL 40(or maybe a squig herder) and he proceeds to bash in you head... The sureality of it is just mind boggling.

I'm just saying its a real actual name and not a fantasy name. I have to admit I use it on all of my single player avatars AND did use it in the first MMO I played, and found out that its really hard to explain to people that what they think is a cool fantasy name is your actual name...
You get such gems as: "Cool, why did you change your name?" or "What where you parents thinking? Do they like RPGs?" , "Are you some kind of Foriegner?" or my favorite "Dude your lying no one is actually named that".


I'm just saying its a tad weird:

Hell, It took me about a month to stop muttering under my breath everytime Lord Tareq (on the boards) made comment I did not like..."&*!@#$ is giving me a bad name"... was the general gist :p
Heh I even went so far as to read just about every post he ever made, just to make sure he was not racist or something :rolleyes: (thats a joke but did read a lot of his stuff, wanted to see what my 'namesake' had to say about things.)


Ohh and just so you know its pronouced (Tar-rick) and the r being rolled or (Tar-eck) with the R being rolled. (come to think of it it does sound like a good Druchii name 8))

And the name means: Bright Star or Night Visitant (I was born at 3 am). Dammit now it really sounds like a druchii name! :chaos:

[mongoose]

I have a GREAT way of thinking for you Avatar........Hows about you and Tareq here get together once the servers are known, decide on one and you play a HE and he will play a DE. You will then use Tariq and he will use Tareq. You then create the story that you are actually brothers that parted ways at the time of the sundering. Kind of like how families were split apart during Americas Civil War 8)

[Ayetalam]

Avatar, I know what you are getting at, but thats like me getting mad if someone uses the name Julian, Julius, or Yulian. I mean you arent the only person with that name, and people can use that name anyway they see fit because you personally have no control over this name, you dont own it.

[Avatar Of War]

Again I'm not mad, not upset. It was just a polite request. That was all.

I am just having a hard time considering that my name is considered by many to be a 'fantasy' name, when to me its just as normal as the name John or Bob.

I should find out all your names and make characters with them. Then you would know the feeling! :p

NOW LETS GET BACK ON TOPIC SHALL WE?

My Druchii name will be Evan... yeah thats the tickit.. EVAN!

[Ayetalam]

I dont know about others, but I actually would find it cool if someone used my name as a fantasy name, so go for it and use it. My name is Yulian. Enjoy :P

[Misanthrope Prime]

Well, many people use otherwise mundane Japanese, Latin and (especially in my case) Greek names for their characters, presumably, someone might use "Edward" as their char name in a say, Korean MMOG, but "Moon" might be considered too normal.

[lemonhead]

My Druchii name will be Evan... yeah thats the tickit.. EVAN!

My name is Ivan, very similar to Evan.

I am just saying that it would be odd for me to see it and to please not use it. Its up to you if you do or not.

And asking politely is not over reacting. What if your name was Ivor bigun, and you went to play fantasy game, you see all named bigblackclock, Minitutu, simon Gonnabeatyou, Izzy Lizzy, and then one day your on a battlefeild and there stands Evan whatsyourgame...

Does Rhydian sound like a fantasy name to you....
http://www.xfactor.tv/talent/rhydianroberts

If you do not like people using you name or any variants on a fantasy MMORPG then you should not play. On another note how Many people are called Tariq, Tareq.. Not just you i take it? They don't seem to have issues about it.

Do yo have an issue with Characters from TV films, programmes using you name? Maybe you should ask them not to use it as it puts you in a surrealist nightmare, of which you will never recover...

[Misanthrope Prime]

Does that mean I am allowed to get pissy if I see a character with "Max" in his name?

[Avatar Of War]

Does that mean I am allowed to get pissy if I see a character with "Max" in his name?

Yes, unless its a Mighty Max video game.


Everyone was taking what i said out of context, and most of you already stated you kind of understood how I felt.

Again, I will state my problem is not the name, or even the use, but the fact that he considers it a 'fantasy name' for a fantasy game, its a very very very common name among those of arab and or african descent.

And before someone one goes, " How was I supposed to know that?" let me ask you, how am I supposed to know that Evan (which is to Ivan as Ryan is to Brian :p) is not a fantasy name, I never met anyone like even before, it sounds like a fantasy name....

I simply stated that it seemed weird to see my name being used as a fantasy name by some guy who did not even bother to look it up (No offense Lord Tareq but come on, Tariq/Tareq really is common in America, Africa and the Middle East, Its the equavalant to Thomas being just that commonn)

Again I'm not mad or jumping up and down at the man, I stated what I had to say, I even went so far as to give out my actual name and the names of family members.

If you have a problem with my thought process please send me your real name, your whole name, and I will gladly make a squig hearder named that and lets see if you don't find it a tad odd


And those of you saying 'its just a name' let me ask you something:

Have you ever seen someone with the name Joe, Max, John, Tom, Ryan, Bob or any othe common name and thought to yourself "He's an idiot" or "Man that guy has no imagination". Thats how I feel about the issue

My name is not some out of left field really odd name that no one has ever heard of.. hell there is a actual LORD TARIQ the rapper, there is Tariq Aziz.... and a whole slew of others.

I just don't like the idea that someone thinks its some kind of 'fantasy name'. Or the insinuation that is sounds like a fantasy name. Its not. It sounds like a fantasy name the way Ivan sounds like a fantasy name. If my name was Sinbad or Alladin, then yeah I could see it.
Because no one in there right mind names there kid Sinbad or Alladin.


You guys want to think ill of me for defending my name as being a proper name, WHICH IT FREAKING IS, then go ahead.

But when I name my Druchii Joe or Steve, I sure as hell dont want any of you to even THINK its unimaginitive, and if you do I hope you go straight to Hades for being giant hypocyrtes.


Earlier, I was not even aggitated, about this thing, I just was expressing my feelings on the subject, but all these personal attacks and twisting of my words has got me raging freaking mad. You guys want a fight then freaking bring it.

[Sinfjotle]

Well... fantasy names usually do have a lot to deal with names. Lots of fantasy uses common American names like Brian and such. Sci-Fi also uses them a lot. There are plenty of John's and Jack's in fiction and I know people in MMOs who use those names.

I don't think he considered it a fantasy name, but a name that sounded cool. Just like I like to use Norse names for characters and delve into mythology. My name appears quite frequently in fantasy and it's a fairly common name too.

Maybe you just aren't used to that sort of thing? I mean, it's fairly common in the western literature to see western names.

Hell, if you want to make a Squig Herder with my name(s), go ahead, just PM me and I'll give them to you. I'd be honored that someone named their character after me.

You sir are correct but thats scifi, when was the last time you read a book name Bob the Barbarian? Or Steve Potts Socerer Supreme? Or my favorite John Smith Emporer of the holy Sylvan Empire?

To some guy from Europe its exotic, but to me on my street, my name is not exactly common but its not rare either. I guess I find it a bit insulting that someone things that a name that is pretty common is the stuff of fatasy materail, again its like naming your character I dont know... TIME THE SORCERER.. its just not done.

As i said its up to him if he wants to use it or not. I give up, go ahead. I'm just going to name my character John and I dare someone to give me any cracks about it being unimaginitive for a fantasy game, just about as unimaginitive as using my name is. And just because your name is not common in an area does not make it exotic. There are not a whole lot of Bobs in Africa that does not mean its not a universally known name.

Anyway I was not trying to get into a fight. Do what ever you guys want to do. I was my hands of you guys.

And yes I will PM you .

[Misanthrope Prime]

Harry Potter the Wizard? CONAN the Barbarian?

[Avatar Of War]

Harry Potter the Wizard? CONAN the Barbarian?
Conan was not a popular name when it was used by the Author, thats why he used it, instead of Bob. It sounds manly and strong,

How the hell does Harry Potter count? He does not live in a fantasy world, he is supposed to be a current boy with with the ability to use magic.
Not the same freaking thing!

Conan is an Irish name, you go to Ireland or an Irish community and you'll run into people named Conan. Similarly, I bet I'd run into a few "Tariqs" if I went into an Arab influenced area. And I don't see how the Harry Potter universe doesn't count as fantasy.

[Lord Tareq]

Conan was not a popular name when it was used by the Author, thats why he used it, instead of Bob. It sounds manly and strong,



Tareq isn't a popular name either, at least not in my part of the world, at least not when I made it up. (yes I made it up completely by myself, I had no idea the name existed somewhere) You are the first person I have ever seen bearing that name.
Is quite ironic that you say in one of your former posts that it doesn't matter if the name is "real" in some small african country noone has heard of. To me there really isn't much difference between a small unknown african country and some (small unknown) arabic country.
What you failed to respond to is that warhammer is full with "real" names. All the names in the Empire are german/dutch names. Its quite suitable for an Empire Bright Wizard to be named Jan or Hans, (very common names where I live) and even most elven names used in Warhammer lore are also reallife names in some way....thats what you get with nearly 7 billion people on this planet. As an example I gave earlier, the Phoenix King Caledor the second. Caledor is also a French name.

[Eltair Shadowblade]

Ok guys, this was the last post about avatar of war and his requirements.
We already took it off-topic far enough, now stop.

Sha'dar dontknowsecondnameyet.
Something like lifeshatter, soulstealer, Soulblade.

I like the sound of Sha'dar, and it sounds pretty dark elfish to me, so I'll use that one probably either way.
The second name, is something I have yet to figure out, based on my class ofcourse.

[Asuril]

This thread is hilarious.

I'm naming all of my characters Tarique.

Cept one, which'll by my Chosen named Tarrasque.

[Angelfire]

I was thinking of going with Khael'Tan. It roughly means blood drinker in the dark elf language.

[Thorens]

You could do that. but thats a pretty close to the WoW bloodelf leader Kael'thas, that name reminded me of that. :rolleyes:

You might get bothered by WoW refuges about it.

[Blackened]

i have a really good name (i think anyway) but i dont wanna say it cus i KNOW somebody will steal it:-?

[Misanthrope Prime]

Yes well, I prefer if this stayed in this topic instead of moving to my PM inbox as is now happening:rolleyes:

[chady]

Its a real shame they don't have gnomes. Can't play one in my current mmo since they are on a different side than me.
Its primarily the whole concept with machines and wily inventions with numerous cogs and screws and whatnot which appeals to me.
In a perfect world where I could actually play a gnome sorcerer he would be known as Tinker Longcog or Yvona Cogscrew if it was a sorcerers... :rolleyes:

Anyhoo, I think I would call my Sorcerer Chady, Zaza for a lastname probably.

edit ahh shots, this is about disciples =P should have been in the sorcerer name post, but fits equally well here as these two are my most likely class options.

[mongoose]

No comment about my brothers separated because of the Sundering idea? :(

[lemonhead]

Although i am thinking of changing my characters name to something more dark and sinister with a hint of Elvish....

Do you think i would get away with Bananarama ?

I would love to see on the server "xxxx was killed by Bananarama in Naggroth"

[Zul]

Jimmy. I wont budge on that name.

[BowieHero]

Illidan Stormrage

[Haemonculi]

Ill name my Disciple Urial

[Vaylone]

Sariath Deloren

[Emeraldw99]

I am not an RPer primarily, I will try to name mine Emerald. If not, then Taepin.

[Xykros]

It all depends if I go female or male.

Not sure which I'll go, depends on what I feel like when the game is nearing its release. Especially if the males bald towards the higher tiers, I pick my characters hair, I'd like to keep it later on.

As far as names, male Xykros, do not have a last, female I will keep to myself.

[Karas]

I have come up with the best name ever!!

DRACULA!

anti Blood Priest flames commence !

[Pwnzilla]

George....and I will pet him and stroke him.

[Shinma]

HemoglobinCleric

I c wut u did thar...

Anyways, in all seriousness.. I'll name my disciple what I've named all of my gaming characters: Shinma.

[Khane_]

Nerokai >: )

It's just a random name I came up with, it means nothing. My name on MMOs has been "Khane" since Ultima, however, Khaine is a god here and I don't want to be lame and name my character after a god so I just came up with Nerokai which I think is a very cool name.


:p

[Zeldias]

Zeldias Somethingorother.

Whatever Bloodshadow or something is in Druchii.

[Destructicus]

Destructicus Robavida

That has always been my name in every mmo I've played since SWG....
And btw, I am really excited about this class, I rolled a warlock and a rogue in WoW,
and the idea of having them combined into a single class brings a tear of joy to my eye.

[Ethandril]

Ironical, I have a perfect fitting name for a female Witch Elf or female Disciple but non
for my own char :(.

Oh well, I guess, I have to read the Druchii Lore ones more to find something...

[Rakuh]

Rakuh, my long time gamer name... fitted suprisingly good o.O

[Warbear]

Zidious Fellight
Rivian Oseer
Necrolas Bune

Some of those are playing off certain words. Bune happens to be the name of an actual Demon. I won't share all my ideas, as I don't trust anyone :rolleyes:

[Strages Omnis]

Strages Omnis (Stra guess)

This is latin.

Strages = bloodbath or massacre
Omnis = everyone

so Massacre Everyone.

Except you will have to be willing to live without the diacritic (aka accent) marks. Sorry but WAR wont allow you to have umlauts (ä), tildes (õ), circumflexes (ê), acutes (ú), or anything else of this type.

While it would be interesting its also wholely unfair to expect everyone wanting to type your name to know how to type an "õ" (you made me break out my character mapper program damn you!....its Alt+0245 :razz:). Maybe if everyone used Macs (that make this a rather simple process) it would be acceptible but we will all be using PCs and that turns the use of accent marks into a small headache and not worth the trouble.

[ShadõwKnight]

No accent marks?? NOOOOOOOO!!! *goes into cardiac arrest* Hehe just kidding! It would be nice though if we could do that, but its ok with me...JUST GIMME FULL VERSION WARHAMMER! :-P

Most games don't allow American keyboards to use accent marks, unfortunately, on a lot of European keyboards they are essential like in Spanish.

You have no idea how frustrating it is to try to put someones name down on your friends list when you can't make accent marks and they can...

And no western(as in the US/Europe) game (as far as I know) 'officially' lets you use accent marks, they are illegal in most games and if you have a name with one and a GM sees it (or if someone reports you:rolleyes:) it gets changed...

And the chances of actually having a GM monitoring the game like all MMO's promise they will, (I had huge expectations for WoW, but they very quietly changed their GM policies, which wre one of the reasons I bought the game in the first place, so that the GMs did not have to monitor RP servers.) are slim to none.

[Tastreth]

I am most definitely not using my current forum name!

/boldfacedlyingoff

[phyx1u5]

mine'll be called Wife, coz she'll suck the living daylights out of you, whilst killing you softly (probably not with a song).

[ShadõwKnight]

Forgive me, but I must ask....how long can our character's names be?? I am still new to the forum, and this question may have been asked already, but I just had to ask.:)

[Ethandril]

Most games have a restriction of the full length, minimum are 4 letters, max. was
(if I remember right) about 12 letters, but I don't know about W.A.R.

Surnames are viable by a specific level (rank), mostly around level 20, (rank 2
in W.A.R.).

I hope it helps.

[Creazil]

mmmm oh man... might as well try and think of a name now...
most of my usual ones don't sound dark elfy, but I guess I can live with that...

For a single name game like WoW the max length might have been 12 but for a game like DAoC that had both first and surnames I believe the total length was over 20 letters. I think it was actually higher though because I distinctly remember some stupidly long name strings when I played.

So since Mythic is making WAR and it will have surnames expect the length to be 20+

(I just did a cursory glance at one of the DAoC guilds and the longest name I counted was 28 letters including the space between the first and surname)

Sorry if it wasn't clear, ~12 letters for your firstname and ~12 for your surname,
makes about 24 letters maximum, but i have to admit, it can be more too, it's long
ago, when i created a new char :(
Haven't played WoW and probably won't. ... :D

[ShadõwKnight]

I play WOW, but I can tell you one thing...In my opinion, its losing the luster it once had. people are getting tired of having to gring for this or that just to keep up(I sure as hell know I am) A friend told me to check out Warhammer Online, So I figured, "why not?' I am glad I did. It seems to be so much more than what WOW is. Trust me, With WOW, you are missing anything....but thats just my opinion.:D

[Lord Tareq]

My TT game Anointed of Slaanesh is called Ba'elzaden the Cruel, so should I decide to join Estebars Cult of Slaanesh guild instead of creating my own, then that will be the name of my Disciple/Anointed.

[Goosey_J]

Ted. Definitely Ted.

I can understand the reasons somewhat, but that really just makes me wish that they'd separate usernames from character names. The username can then be used for any and all game functions (like friends lists and such).

Almost all my character names tend to have accented characters (or an apostrophe). I know people can get overboard with things, but used sparingly they can serve to add that little extra flair to a name.

And it's really not that hard to make them; the most difficult part is remembering which number combination makes which character (though MS Word has a nice solution to that too).

[Shalaa]

Ted. Definitely Ted.
How about Father Ted >.>

Ill probably call mine Valshala

[Monk]

Please don't use that first name in game, Its my actual name (With an I instead of an E), and i would actually feel a pang of guilt killing you, repeatedly.... for taking my name and making me kill myself...

I have to go now the doctor says its time for my medication and if I'm good they will let me out of the padded room and have pudding for desert.

(Note: SeriouslyIt is my actual name....just find it really odd that someone is using it as a fantasy name... I wonder if someone from a fantasy universe were trying to come up with a 'fantasy name', would it be Joe Smith? Would Tecils Idea of a 'fantasy' name be Mike?)


My name is Tariq Abdul Kareem Ali and I approved this crazy rant, and so did my cousin Tareq Shumate, and my cousin Tyree Burton(pronounced Taree). Don't use our names in the game, it would be odd...Its a real name not some fantasy name like Tecils or Morathi.

PS: If your actual real life name is Tecils or Morathi and you don't come from some deep part of Africa that no one has ever heard of, then your parents should be beaten, repeatedly, about the head with a book of baby names.


Think thats bad? My last name is Monk, which happens to be a class in 75% of the MMO's out there, and the title of a very popular show. I don't go around tellin everyone they can't play the Monk class and demanding that it is removed from the game. That would just be stupid. You don't have the rights to a name just because its on your birth certificate, especially when the name is 5 letters long and only 4 of the letters are the same.

"WTF Cake" or "LOLCatz FTW"

My main point besides my first post was the fact that the OP thought he made up the name Tariq/Tareq (just a different spelling that my cousin has). When the name Tariq/Tareq, is extremely popular in the Middle East and Africa (the equivalent of the name Tom or Mike).

That would be like me saying "Well I am an Eskimo and I made up the name Tom and Monk for a fantasy game, what do you mean they are not made up fantasy names? Well I never heard them before so the names don't count as real names"
