I don't know if anyone else posted this but some of the new PC names are a little out-there! I don't want to sound like an ass, but even though this is RP lite server I don't know anyone here who does not RP! I think using historical fantasy novel names should be banned...I know it is at least frowned upon! Man, this is a fun server, don't screw it up with Nintendo names and power gaming. The core players ON this site can show you the way , look at the character bio's we put time into this as do the staff for sure...thank you staff!!! I hope this thread not in poor taste but it is my truth and I shall stick by what I say for certain...All the cool RPers out there ... Stand UP AND BE COUNTED!

Actually its been stated that RP light or not popular NPC names are not allowed, usually if a DM sees this we offer that player a free rebuild with complete item and gold transfer to the new, normal named char.
Theres a few people out there with actual class's as names I've been meaning to talk to.

No lie.. a Mace Wendu came over the shout channel today asking where to hunt wolves.. I said he needed to remake the character and his levels would be refunded to him.. I just didnt get a chance to get to him before I had to get to work. If we see him floating around again (account name Stoani) then we need to help him out. -Ice

Ohh, good! I was hoping that the staff would take a helpful stand on the issue. Thanks for working to keep server unique!

I know it can be difficult to think up a good name but the effort is well worth it. Anyone here that is thinking about rushing through the naming process of their characters should slow down for a moment. Personally, I lose interest in my pc's if I do not like the sound of their names.
By the way, I spent about an hour yesterday putting together names for two characters.
Some useful tools for getting ideas:
Websites containing first and surname dictionaries.
Anagram generators
Fantasy name generators (This doesn't work well for me)
If anyone wants an example of one of my name-the-character thought processes, I would be happy to type it out. lol

don't forget that NWN2 itself can generate random names. if you can't think up a name, you can just keep clicking until you find something you like.

A permanent rule was stated under the rules section. This set of rules should be read over before even playing. Ignorance is no longer a defense.. -Ice

Classes being invalid for character names needs to be added to the rules thread, because as of now there are only rules against famous NPCs and unearned titles.
