since CCP, for obvious reasons, didn't linked any forum for this devblog, here's one.

said dev blog: Changes to the EVE Naming Policy

personally, i think this is just ********.....

Why? Is it the end of your pathetic scamming alts?

In-game names include, but are not limited to: Character names, corporation names, alliance names and any other player-nameable item or entity within the game world.

Its on the launcher, smack right in front of you when you log in. Its also one the news if if you just use ExeFiledotExe.

They didn't need to link it since people it actually effects can 1) read, 2) read, or 3) read dev blogs.

Whats the problem with the naming policy? I'm confused...

Nothing, he's just noticed it for the first time ever

well, since you cannot name your ship with any name based on ingame items.... you would not be allowed to name a rifter "rifter", or cargo container, or stargate(X) etc....

i understand that you are not allowed certain world, if offensive / racist etc... but this go too far

I told you man, you went to far

I told you man

I told you

Man

But naming your Rifter CCP Mintchip's Rifter would be in violation

*awaits the Dev blog stating scamming and stealing another player's assets is no longer an acceptable practice...

i would not be surprised at all....

I doubt CCP would enforce ship naming policy, it is common practice in null to use names that are deceptive to enemy d-scans. They probably have it as a protective clause in case someone in high-sec, for example, names their ship CCP Soundwave's Rifter or Federation Navy Commander and is doing something offensive or fishy in local under such a guise. That's my take on it, anyway.

- Impersonate or parody any employee or representative of EVE Online, CCP, Customer Support personnel or volunteers.
- Impersonate or parody an NPC type from the EVE game world (i.e. CONCORD or other official NPC corporation or organization members) for the purpose of misleading other players.

My guess is this is indeed the spirit of the rules. But you know there is some scrublord out there who will petition everything he sees that offends him that even remotely falls under this rule. Just because he can.

That would ... suck.

I would

But then, some of us have a better understanding of how the game works than others

i would not be surprised at all....

if this would happen, i would be both sad and greatfull.

sad because if you are dumb to fall for it, you deserve it, on the other hand, greatfull becausehubs local would be quiet and jita limit would almost never reach

i don't scamm, and i don't like this, i would cut them in half, but there are dozens of pvp situation where you want to name your ship so a perrsonne who deosn't look carefully it's dscan could confuse you with something else, for example.

after this, you would not be allowed to name your ship "rifter" even if it IS a rifter, because:

So.... ummm.... if I name my ship Romona McCandless's Ibis for the purposes of confusing someone they can petitio.....err...create a customer servie ticket (or wutever)?

Oh, I think you've mis-read this rather badly.
That line refers to things which *you* can name - and you're not allowed to impersonate or misappropriate someone *else's* names. Nothing there says you can't name your Rifter "Small Mission Wreck" or "Force Field" or even "Cancel Primary."

What it means is you can't name your outpost "George Stephanopoulos."

Is "Romona McCandless" one of:

- Employee or representative of EVE Online, CCP, Customer Support personnel or volunteers.
- NPC type from the EVE game world (i.e. CONCORD or other official NPC corporation or organization members)

If yes: Yes.
If no: No.

Simple as that.

and like my first example "Sansha Lord"? you can't

2c of the policy has no bearing here?

There is no player named "Romona McCandless" as far as I can see, so why should it?

There is no player named "Romona McCandless" as far as I can see, so why should it?

It seems that i am purposefully impersonating or parodying an in-game item (Planet): Amarr IV (Tamiroth), which is also Not Available to the General Public.

I beg CCP to let me Continue With This Sort Of Thing.

Otherwise, i fully endorse this idea.

Give it a min and there will be!

Where does it say that you are forbidden to do so?

If in doubt, ask them what the Tainted Claret really is

Just out of curiosity- Did you stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night?

employee or representative of EVE Online, CCP, Customer Support personnel or volunteers.
NPC type from the EVE game world (i.e. CONCORD or other official NPC corporation or organization members)

Just answer the question, please.

ITT people fail to understand the difference between "player" and "character".

If in doubt, ask them what the Tainted Claret really is

We don't call them "petitions" anymore, we call them "support tickets" please get your lingo up to date or don't pollute our forums with your stealth nerf highsec threads.

thank you.

CCP ban yourself! You're discriminating!



Right, because if they're not going to do so, it's always a good idea to make up rules for things you're not going to do. Now, the reality is selective enforcement. That's why we have laws and rules. Some are absolute. Others are not. But in all cases, rules are made to be applied. It's just a matter of whether you're a friend of CCP's or not.

Many many rules and laws in the world exist solely to shackle those that aren't friends to the people who made the rules and laws in the first place.

Is that anything like a Band Camp Flute?

No. No no no


You arent allowed to IMPERSONATE ingame items

oops

its ok, DC1, I like you





You reinforce all my places at once

he's Minmatar, shes Amarr... i would say BSDM novel, not romance.

well, since you cannot name your ship with any name based on ingame items.... you would not be allowed to name a rifter "rifter", or cargo container, or stargate(X) etc....

this has me pondering whether referencing mind-blowingly narrow delicious teenage lady parts in my ship name would be deemed sexually explicit.

best to be safe with ice and fire spoilers i guess

he's Minmatar, shes Amarr... i would say BSDM novel, not romance.

if this is true then i know pilots who are looking for trouble, or remarkably lucky so far, some with names copying npcs, or naming thier ships after random celestials to fool scans.

if I have a couple of ship names inspired by my favorite scifi, am i also doomed?



that gets dicey especially if the copycat is doing bannable stuff in game. i recall when i used to play an unnamed mmo, after years of playing all the sudden a botter appeared with a clone of my name + 1 letter. i reported it furiously for months before it was finally removed. Thankfull anyone who knew me knew i hated bots and my name wasnt tarnished, but whats to stop a GM or whatever having a bad day from banning an innocent because some dirtbag cloned thier name and broke the rules

an innocent

this is not eve online anymore this is hello kitty online.
