I create a Wood-Elf Druid and got a few ranks under my belt and stumbled across some fairly nice equipment... then along comes a newbie immortal and tells me my name isn't acceptable. My name was Woodmiehr. I know, I know WOOD... it wasn't intended on being the combination of two words and I was going to explain everything in my role as to the origin of the first part of my name. Then he proceeds to tell me the second half of name, miehr was too similar to Menhir (or something) like that in the Hold Grove (I stumbled across it recently). I had no problem changing my name or creating a new character except I was told everything must go, equipment and all... I should DELETE, DELETE. After spending a few hours on creating a role, good description, and careful to roleplay exactly as a Druid should... all that time was wasted. I have the log of the entire conversation if anyone wishes to view it. *SIGH*
