I've just sent a ticket to a GM. You know, what bothers me most is not the loss of the name - "Parzival" (or "Perceval" in English) was a bit risky anyway, because it is a well-known knight in the King Arthur saga with the Holy Grail and such. No, what bothers me is the fact that they enforce their naming convention rules THREE months after I had started that char (EU release in February 11, 2005). The reason seems obvious: They didn't want to p*ss off potential paying customers/subscribers during the game's starting phase, and they wanted to wait until the customer has invested so much time into his/her char ("Parzival" is level 54) that cancelling the account seems unlikely. That is what bothers me here enormously.
