Q:

Hey, I was trying to create a new character today and wanted to use the name G T O (slight petrol head) and wasn’t too astonished when I couldn’t get it (expected it to be taken), but was surprised when it came up “inappropriate”.

Was just wondering what the reason was for this and if there was a way to get it removed from the list so I can possibly use it.

Thanks for your time and hope I posted this into the correct section/area.

Probably ‘inappropriate’ for trademark purposes:

EULA says:

You may not select an Account ID, Account Display Name, NCSOFT Message Board ID, Character ID and/or Team designation that would require any license from any third-party;

GTO is still a trademarked name of GM. (Xerox..although a trade name has become a generic term for making a copy of something, it might be allowed, it might not…hmmm a team of mesmers anyone?)
