Re: Messing around in ffxi

There were no limitation in character name creation

Ya, just like the only thing that limits me from going 130mph back and forth from work is the fact my car is governed at 130mph.

Those speed limits? Not speed limits at all. Right.

...you try to start an argument with me because of they way I destroy you with my knowledge in previous threads, but you're only setting yourself up for failure, you don't have the wits to argue with me.

That's hilarious.

There were no limitation in character name creation, get over it, I've already won. It's funny you try to start an argument with me because of they way I destroy you with my knowledge in previous threads, but you're only setting yourself up for failure, you don't have the wits to argue with me.

lim·i·ta·tion (lÄm'Ä-tā'shÉ™n) Pronunciation Key
n.
The act of limiting or the state of being limited.
A restriction.
A shortcoming or defect.
Law A specified period during which, by statute, an action may be brought.

There were always restrictions, they just weren't always enforced by filters at creation. Now they are, most likely because of assholes like ospeff and his friends.

But there's no point in arguing with 'the god of ffxi.'

Re: Messing around in ffxi

Ziero is right, there has never been a time when you could have a name as a curse or racial slur. First they have filters when you make your name and if you spell it differently and get past the filter then people report you and thats that.

HOLY CRAP! TGM POST /AGGRO!!!!!

Sorry haven't seen TGM in the forums for awhile.

I remember our LS Leader's BF had a mule named Vajayjay. I also saw Getoffdeeznutz. I only saw him that one time, GMs probably made him change it not too far after that. I also remember somebody trying to setup a Gay/Straight linkshell by shouting in Jeuno....I'm sure you know how that all turned out.

Re: Messing around in ffxi

No it wouldn't, there was no limitation. A GM changing it is an intervention, not a technical in-game limitation like it is now.

Re: Messing around in ffxi

Yes it would, because now when you try to even register a vulgar name the game wont let you. And my point is my friend would register mules to do it, so no one even saw him out of his moghouse to report him.

Which is totally besides the point. You said there were "no limitations whatsoever" in what you could name a character. If it was against the rules at the time, and you would be forced to change the name if discovered, then it was a limitation, and your statement would be wrong.

Just because he didn't get busted, it doesn't mean it was allowed at the time. Post all the screenshots you want, it'd prove nothing.

Re: Messing around in ffxi

Do you want me to say what names he registered? You are wrong, I even have pictures from the time still.

Re: Messing around in ffxi

There used to be no limitations whatsoever in what you could name a character, had a friend who would always make mules with curse words or racial slurs as names and then send me /tells

There have always been limits on the names you can use. If you make a name like that GMs will tell you to change it or delete or character.
