and post your support.

That said, expect the Furious Angels to be renamed.

Any ideas for new names?

Welcome to the Matrix Online

Walrus: *giggle* play-doh is fun
Brewko: hahahah

Most definitely something from Lord of the Rings, but definitely not Elven. For some reason, it reminds me of Entish...

ON TOPIC: What a load of crock. There is no way that they can go through with all this. They'd have to re-name everything in-game and the movies.

I think we might make it through this since we havent gotten called out for it yet, but who knows maybe now that it is being enforced maybe someone just pointed out their name was against policy.

Dag or anyone who read the post, can you shed some light on what the thread was about?

Basically, the faction was renamed for a religious connotation. Yes, a religious connotation in the Matrix online. What a fucking shocker.

Brewko called Beechead into the White Room, told him to get everyone from his faction offline immediately (or they'd be banned) and then told him that he had to rename his faction or that he would be banned. When he jacked back in, he found that his faction was renamed "The Rename". No explanation. No nothing.

Yes, that really is true, and the last time I saw the topic, it had over 28 pages of posts. Most of it happened from 9pm EST to 9am EST.

Going through another thread on the topic, Walrus posted some promising stuff.

Okay, folks. Let's relax a minute, here.

The faction name does technically violate the naming policy, which can be found here:

So, when the name was brought to CS attention, they were going by the book.

However, as we all know, the movies were filled with religious references and that many players, crews, and factions went along that line when choosing names. We're not going to change the names of long-standing groups based on this policy. This is just a case where going by the book isn't the best policy.

I'm working with CS on this issue now.

While I understand the frustration, let's not bash on the CS team, please. They were doing their job in this case and didn't have the historical knowledge to advise them about the full implications. We'll be working together to keep issues like this from happening again.

It's fucking stupid.

Basically our faction name is a violation.

*waits patiently for brewko to give it to us up the ass*

Supposedly its all been taken care of now.

OMG Walrus is my hero, he knows exactly how to fix his team's incompetence and make the community rejoice in celebration for something that never should have happened in the first place.

They made a mistake, owned up to it, fixed it, and are taking the necessary steps to make sure it doesn't happen again.  That doesn't happen very often these days.  I think a little credit is due, despite the sheer idiocy of the mistake.
