I apologize if my choice of names offends you. I assure you, had I known using the name and persona of Pikel would garner such an overwhelmingly negative response I would of chosen differntly. At the time, I thought the name was a good deal more obscure than it obviously is...I won't go into details, but the Imm staff had ample opportunity to deny the name before Pikel even made it to level 2. When people started pointing out the "copycat" issue I'd invested a good deal of time an effort into the character. I've done my best to remain true to the character, and to the roleplay of the mud. If the name bothers you that much, the only thing I can do is suggest you not interact with Pikel, he won't live forever.
