NAMES

MUME's management strongly encourages in-game role-play, though we do not require it. Therefore, in order to preserve the necessary atmosphere for those who wish to role-play, we ask that players choose names for their characters which fit reasonably with the race and subrace of the character they are playing, as well as with the environment of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth.

Players who choose inappropriate names may be asked to select another. Examples of some inappropriate names are:

Very Bad	Myorc, Manwesucks, Turdhead, Blah, Helpme
Bad	Dragontroll, Elfmage, Skullcrusher the Hobbit
Poor	Elrohirr the Dwarf, Griznak the Elf

Note that anyone creating characters with really bad names (e.g., like "Youreallgonnadie") just to be annoying will find themselves dealt with in the harshest manner.

If you are having trouble finding a good name unique to your character we have an in-game command to help you. See help suggest name for details.
