I had this idea that probably it's those names that form Warcraft lore that were forbidden. So I just made a little test and rolled an orc huntress on one of the normal EU realms. Named the char Draka and it let me do it. (Draka is Durotan's mate and mother of Thrall, if you remember, from "Warcraft: Lord of the clans"^^)

In this book, Durotan has a wolf named Sharptooth so I tamed a prowler (the ones in Elwyn Forest area - yes, I had to travel a bit in ghost form and resurrect at enemy graveyard for that because the wolf should be color of the snow according to lore, again,- named it Sharptooth and it let me do it. This meant my theory was wrong and probably as soon as the name of a hero is not present in WoW you are free to call either your pet or your character as one) ...and hope not to be banned for that=P

Guess Blizzard would make a hunter's life bit easier if they just stickied the list of reserved names somewhere in the forums though.

Also wanted to add about hacking accounts... With all due respect to the posters here, I believe there is no way to get your account into trouble with hackers if you follow simple rules Blizzard provides and stay away of keyloggers - so it is partially a players' responsibility to keep their accounts safe.

This might sound rude and abusive to a gold seller hater but here is my opinion anyway.

I don't hate gold sellers. I do not hate anything that naturally appears to be an answer to one's NEEDS. I can't hate any way in which someone else has figured he would make money unless it is illegal... You know why? because what I really hate is that WoW players buy it. Selling gold is not a cheat since it is not strictly prohibited by Blizzard. it is just a way to make real life dollars and euros. BUYING gold is. It is admitting to yourself that you are such a lousy player you are unable to follow a game's rules and succeed in it, but not aknowledging it before your guildies/ingame friends. It is cheating against honest players, telling tales about farming and crafting and how it got you to this level of wealth while all you did was pay a few bucks to a gold seller. It's a slap in the face to all the honest players.

I also hate that Blizzard still hasn't made it to be illegal. All they do is warn you that buying gold is not safe for your account... The flow in/out of gold is so easy to trace that it begs for question: Why Blizzard allows this to happen? Is there really no better way to cut such 'services' off games?

Damnit...... Always some other that I'm not... I play Horde.. On Boulderfist and The Sha'tar xD

But keep on blogging I like to read you posts even though I agree with chat1der... You should try to correct some of your grammar mistakes, if you can..

Thst name is reserved for use on the Thorbjørn Jaglands pet. It kind of like a royalety.

SorchaWoW — Fri, 15 May 2009 15:21:05 GMT

I'm thinking the system probably didn't allow that name because it contains the word "bong" and the message you got was a diplomatic way of saying no.

Jakaru666 — Fri, 15 May 2009 07:45:48 GMT

YES!!! Finally one that shares my opinion!! Those gold sellers all deserve to feel when someone ruin your game.

And Tonyl: Please shut up about that weegold.com s***. The gold sellers make a hell lot of money that they do not deserve at all!

Jakaru666 — Fri, 15 May 2009 07:35:15 GMT

It can be that some names may be "banned" even though that sounds very unlogical...

wrooom — Fri, 15 May 2009 07:15:06 GMT

Same thing happened to me several times. I do not even recall what names I wanted to use, but one was the name of some rockstar pet I looked up on the internet :)

widgetspace — Fri, 15 May 2009 05:05:47 GMT

Yes Congogobongo was the reserved name

I tried a few variations on the name and they came up with same message

camealion — Thu, 14 May 2009 17:30:47 GMT

Was GongoGoBongo the name that was reserved?

"What other mount can you drop vertically out of the Dalaran sewer pipe and not find yourself on impact, having a tea break with the spirit healer ?"

I just LOVE this comment! So sorry to hear they have nerfed it ... a bit like the Kal'uak fishing rod having its DPS dropped from 180 to 9. That was sooo useful when a loot crazed diver sneaks up on you whilst fishing Mussleback Sculpins in the Borean Tundra, or horde whilst fishing in Wintergrasp for the daily fishing quest.

Thank you. Im always very very pleased to see that other then me also hate those pests called gold sellers. Is it not possible to get theire IP adresses and deny them entrance to wow forever?

I dont know, but it would be nice thoug. Im so tired off all the wispers that comes about gold for sale, and i wish there was something more i could do then just tell them to piss off or ignore them. I love wow, i love a lot of the people that plays wow, and i hope there will come a day when goldsellers actually are getting "caught" and banned.( BTW: Please excuse me for my poor english and my terrible spelling,im from Norway and dont know any better^^).

PS: I hope people will keep this topic hot, and somehow spread the attitude off wanting to stop goldselling and the people using it. That way ignorance can be no excuse.And again,thanks.

So Tonyl

seems you missed the point of this blog completely and have seen fit to post an ad for your peddle pushing gold

there is no such thing as a safe gold seller

The fact that is it illegal by Blizzard Game rules to sell or purchase gold. and they do reserve the right to not only bane you from your account but prevent you from opening another one simply by not excepting you're account application

Yet despite this You see fit to make a post with agin no real helpful or positive comment, just a "comment" to push you and your friends gold site.

Well when I said gold sellers farm 24 /7 I meant not a single person, it is a simply matter of getting a few people willing to farm sending all "profits" to one place/ person.

Yes I do suspect that Gold sellers do hack accounts when and where they can to help up the gold pool.

However It is a lot easier to make gold than most think or know, when I wanted to build my chopper bike, the parts being 12500 K and that was just the K3 parts, I made all the gold myself. Simple matter of, if I spent a few hours using my professions I could make 1k a day, and yes I still had time to play do dailies and what not.

If you see a public gold seller on your server either an open general chat, trade or whisper, simply right click their name and select report spam. Blizzard encouraged this for a bit which gave all players a welcome rest from gold sellers. THose players that do not want nor like gold sellers can send them packing simply by "report spam" thats all it take as Blizzard will read the text and simply close and bane that account. So hit em where it hurts in their own pockets.

Gold sellers use a number of "tools" to hack accounts from key logging to the most simple thing of asking for some basic account details. Again stop and think, and remember these people do not care about you or your circumstances and will go to ( from what I have seen) any lengths to make real life money so they have no pretense about breaking the law, by defrauding players in a number of ways.

As Sonatasuns daughter found out the hard way unfortunately, I suspect she lost more than just items, she lost the respect of guild members. and the trust of those she calls friends and fellow guild members

Like I have stated gold sellers do not care about the over all damage they do to the individuals reputation, game experience or the game as a whole.

I do hope that your daughter has not lost all the joy of the game, and she can continue to be a positive force in game and in her guild.
