Blizzard’s World of Warcraft MMORPG has posted a proposed character name guideline, which has apparently caused both rejoicing and berserker behavior. If I’m playing and paying for it, I don’t want to break immersion by seeing the sultry drow before me is named "BRitNEYsPEaRzR0x0rz" or "Titfu©K3R" -- but I think this could be handled via a "Allow Lame Names" toggle in an Options menu, defaulted to “off.” Players who didn't conform to the rules could be seen as “Peon” by players who do not want to see exotic names.
