"Hoang Bien"

Yes it's a Japanese name (it was late last night) but I liked the definitions: Ocean and Phoenix.

This morning I logged in, and with a sigh, found that my name was rejected. So I just got back from reading their naming policy when I was just about to try a Chinese name.

After reading the naming guidelines I know this one will be rejected.


I understand why they would make such a rule but it is awfully limiting when a player wishes to make a non-English sounding name.


My other pirates are:
  • Lucrecia Merlose
  • Aulliwyn Garamonde
So, are those English words?

Well, discuss, I guess...
just like POF the reason that rule is there is bc not everyone can read japanese or chinese so in that language it could mean something bad which is why they dont accept it

those names are not of any known language so they just classify it as english
