And how come the word silverfang is offensive but silverclaw is perfeclty fine?.

I have no idea why silverfang is a problem, but I do know the name filter looks for certain letter combinations. For example, Owlsdottir is disallowed because it has the letters LSD in the name (Ow LSD ottir). Possibly there is some letter combination in silverfang that is setting it off. Smart, the filter ain’t.

If it wasn’t allowed or was changed, might not be because it was offensive, but because it’s reserved for a current or future character in the game. At least I know that it’s like that in other MMOs

It’s a pile of Elonian protection magic, mixed with a little monk training,
wrapped up in some crazy ritualist hoo-ha from Cantha.
A real grab bag of ‘you can’t hurt me. They’re called Guardians.
