Wrong WoW guild name? Blizzard MAY help you!

More often than not, gamers would likely jump into the fray first before giving any thought about it. When it comes to the more serious aspects, gamers often would raise priorities of thought first above all else. So we could probably forgive World of Warcraft players if they took minor aspects of the game – like guild naming – less seriously than they should have.

But Blizzard might not take too kindly to that. Again. Steaky of Barthilas created a new guild called ROFLCOPTER which is in direct violation of Blizzard’s Naming Policy for pets, guilds, characters and Arena team names. More appropriately, it fits in the section of “Leet” or “Dudespeak”:

Contain “Leet” or “Dudespeak”

This category includes names which:
* Consist of language existent only in online communication (i.e. Roflcopter, xxnewbxx, Roxxoryou)
If a player is found to have such a name for their character, guild, arena team, or pet, he/she may:
* Be prompted to select a new name for the character upon next login

An unworthy name doesn’t have too dire a consequence, but smelly Vrakthis wanted to point out one thing: your guild name may be changed, only if a Game Master reviews a petition you send in and decides if your name needs a change or not. Emphasis on “may.”

So while a hidden and obviously serious punishment looms over repeat violators, it’s still not certain if you’ll be able to keep your guild and simply have its name changed, or completely lose the guild and be forced to create another one again. So just in case, hop on over to the Read link below to absorb Blizzard’s “guidelines” in World of Warcraft‘s naming conventions.
