The following policy, while not all inclusive, shall establish the spirit and overall structure of player naming permissions in Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen, including, but not limited to, character, guild, pet, and any other entities, or systems that may be added to the game that allow player modification. The Naming Policy will always be aligned with our core belief that Community Matters and will guide the final decision-making process, which will be at the sole discretion of Visionary Realms and its agents.
As Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen is largely a work incorporating the high fantasy genre, names should attempt to align to spirit of the game. Be advised that the following types of names will not be allowed:
1. Racist, sexist, profane names including, but not limited to, swear words, references of anatomy, meme tropes, misogynistic terms, homophobic terms, political jargon or slogans, threatening or terroristic terms or homonyms of any of the preceding, or word combinations that when read together produce any of the above, are not allowed.
2. Proper Nouns that infringe upon any trademark, intellectual property, or well-known entities. Examples would be popular fantasy characters, sports teams, brand names, celebrities, politicians or your 9th grade English teacher that you’ve been wanting to doxx for 11 years. For clarification a character named Brady wouldn’t necessarily violate the policy, but one named Tombrady D’Goat would.
3. Drug references, both illegal and legal, are not allowed. This includes slang names, colloquialisms, paraphernalia or veiled references. Fourtwenty Bongripper isn’t an acceptable name for your Ogre Warrior.
4. Names used in the lore of Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen, as well as any name that attempts to impersonate the game’s creators, developers or other employees of Visionary Realms are not allowed.
5. Names must be at least 4 characters long, and cannot include numbers, special characters or symbols.
Character names found to be in violation of this policy will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis with the following potential actions as consequences:
Forced Renaming
Account Suspension
Loss of Naming Privileges (temporary or permanent)
Character Deletion
Account Deletion
Hardware/I.P./Network I.D. Ban
Community matters, and as a primarily crowdfunded game we understand that our naming policy shouldn’t be a punitive one that prevents people from using monikers that they have potentially been known by for many years, however we must ensure that all players feel welcome and that the overall spirit of the game world is upheld. If your character name isn’t a direct violation of the rules but doesn’t quite fit the high fantasy theme, don’t fret! Put on your plus to Int gear and find a way to make it fit, perhaps with creative spelling, an interesting backstory or a slight tweak.
