Now this is just bizarre. They tell me my name "Dafukafu" is inappropriate, although it doesn't violate any of the rules or regulations they listed there. I just made it up, and used it because it sounded like a suitably 'shamanistic' name. Then they also tell me that my beta account is now on probation for doing that. This really rubs me the wrong way.
Any ideas here on why this would happen? They don't even tell me which rule I've violated.
I'm pretty sure this email isn't a fake, despite the cut off bits and bizarre formatting, because they know my account name and real name. I'm not in a position to check to see if my character name is changed just yet but I will update as soon as I find out if this is for real.
I haven't sent them a reply email yet, or my opinions about their "customer satisfaction", as that might be an unwise idea right now. :angry:
