In Game Support Naming Violation Policy
If a name is found to be in violation, we will be changing names that are found to be violations to a suitable fantasy name of the Game Master’s choice. The player that is found in violation of the policy will not have a choice of a new name.
We encourage that each player thoroughly review our Naming Policy prior to creating a character or naming a Guild. Violations of the policy will result in a more suitable name being applied to the character and, if appropriate, action being taken against the player’s account.
You may certainly still appeal the name change by visiting help.standingstonegames.com. You may also choose to purchase a new name if you are unhappy with the name that was provided to you.
*Note* Additional naming violations may result in further actions against your account.
