A. RULES RELATED TO USERNAMES AND GUILD DESIGNATIONS
Each user will either select a character name or allow the Service to automatically select a character name at random. Additionally, users may form groups such as “guilds,” “factions,” or “clans” and such groups will be required to choose a name for the group. When you choose a character name, create a group, or otherwise create a label that can be seen by other players using the Game or the Service, you must abide by the following guidelines as well as the rules of common decency. If Trion finds such a label to be offensive or improper, it may, in its sole and absolute discretion, change the name, remove the label, and/or suspend or terminate your use of the Game and/or Service. In particular, you may not use any name:
Belonging to another person with the intent to impersonate that person, including without limitation a “Game Master” or any other employee or agent of Trion;
That incorporates vulgar language or which are otherwise offensive, defamatory, obscene, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;
Subject to the rights of any other person or entity without written authorization from that person or entity;
That belongs to a popular culture figure, celebrity, or media personality;
That is, contains, or is substantially similar to a trademark or service mark, whether registered or not;
Belonging to any religious figure or deity;
Taken from Trion’s Game(s);
Related to drugs, sex, alcohol, or criminal activity;
