You should probably double check what Tiancity sends you. They might thing the island thing is a-ok. Blink

Also, to all you dorks with stupid names...

BTW, I have not read all the posts here and elsewhere so I may have missed it: What defines my "main character"? Most SP? First one made on the account? Something else?

With regards to name filtering, yes, we've thought about it. This was one of the first things that came up when we decided we were going to put player names on the monument.

Anything deemed inappropriate will not be included.

Define inappropriate?

For example, would "I love boobies" be filtered?
What about names that are accidentally mistaken as inappropriate?
Or if a Dev has a personal gripe against a player?

I love boobies is fine

Considering that from any one person's point of view, there is only one playable universe, I think it's a stretch to call that a lie.



Aanyway - I think that the suggestion to publish the list of character names beforehand would be a good move on CCP's part, both to open it up for player review, and also to make sure there aren't issues with unjust censorship.

If you can milk it, it's an udder.

If someone is going to have their name filtered, I think it would be wise to let them know, and offer them the chance to use another characters name. It would be harsh to lose out because your character name means something offensive in another language, or is deemed not appropriate, without having reproach, if they are still names that are acceptable in the game.

For example, my name is composed of two made up names, which I just like the sound of. I don't know if in some other language, one of them means something offensive. I don't think they do, but I would be really hurt if I could not get onto the monument, as a paying customer with my name usable in game, and not intended to be offensive, without getting a chance to fix the problem. It's a big source of excitement for me to think that my character will be immortalised on a monument in Iceland.

I think it's most SP, but not too sure.

Can I get clarification if PLEXed accounts on TQ count as "paid" or not? Someone surely paid for the PLEXes...

P.S. It turns out renaming service is not impossible in EVE.

They can't release the list of names.

CCP have been pretty careful not to release specific account numbers for quite a long time now. If they released the names, someone will just add them all up and we instantly have a specific number of active accounts.

Saying that, I would love to know the numbers

Request the ability to be able too nominate which character is actually considered to be the "main" as apposed to the char with the most skill-points. Thankyou.

I'm noticing quite a few people saying they don't want the char with the most SP on the monument.

How many people, honestly, play the game mostly on the lowest-sp char on a single account? I don't think this monument was designed to chisel in stone whatever the player wants, but rather to honor the game and its players by, well, engraving the name of its players.

If we could nominate whichever name we want to be on the monument, then at least a quarter of the names (conservative prediction) would be meaningless in regards to the monument, as that wouldn't represent eve, rather the players that changed their names for the lulz. imho.

Edit.. Gremlins ate my post...


Fair comment. However, for me personally, itis more about having the name of a Char that I personally created solely for the Eve universe representing me on such a historic event, rather than the random name of a char that I might of purchased via the char bazaar

Personally I think that the oldest character created on an account should be classed as the main, if it exists that is. If not then the next created, and I mean created not bought.

Ok some of you probably play a different character now, one you created, but i'm sure CCP don't want to handle a bazillion requests from the player base about what name they want on the monument. CCP has to draw a line, I think they did it right.

Solecist Project...." They refuse to play by the rules and laws of the game and use it as excuse ..." " They don't care about how you play as long as they get to play how they want."

Just a reminder for everyone, it is not your monument, CCP can put any names on it they like, you are not entitled to anything.


Let the madness start.
