Perhaps, it was a sensitive 79 year-old that didn’t care for the sexual reference. Whether it could be a reference to gaming euphoria, or something else, it was deemed inappropriate. Hopefully, you will choose a name that not only pleases you, but won’t be found offensive, this time. Good luck. =)

Similar to Eargasm, which I have seen on many places/products, including teenager magazines.
Intense Wargasm hasn’t really crossed the line, imo.

Only way to know for sure is to file a ticket with support. They can tell you why and if it was a just call.
I can see clearly why it has been changed many people won’t have a problem with it but some will so it will be changed for this reason

Could be this right here.
“Reference names of copyrighted or trademarked characters, materials, or products”
It is also the name of a video game as well as a heavy metal band. I would probably guess it was the sexual reference that did it however.

Reference sexual acts
’nuff said.
As mentioned above, that term is likely copyrighted and trademakred as well.
Keep in mind the the opinion of anyone not an official ANet employee is not relevant in terms of making the call on what you can use for IGN.
Not saying it’s not stretching the policy a bit, but I’d say anything with “gasam” can be identified with a “sexual act”.

Oh please, you cannot misunderstand the blocking of that name.
Rename and move on.
Thank you.
