Inappropriate name
Usually words that are in common use as items/NPCs/functions of the game are not allowed. It sounds like ‘party’ falls under that category.
Maybe try fiesta, fete, gala, soiree….?
Good luck.
Ah, gotcha. Thanks!

Thanks for understanding, frenzynoise.
Sometimes a word or name is blocked because it’s offensive. (And that might be “offensive in a different language” because Guild Wars 2 is a global game.) All that is pretty easy to understand, I’m sure.
Occasionally a word is blocked because it too closely resembles an in-game name and we want to prevent confusion. (There was a time when Xunlai Agent was a character name, and you can imagine how confusing that was! )
And, to be honest, occasionally our filter becomes a little Hal 9000-ish and develops a mind of its (his?) own and blocks something that really is / should be allowed. (Unblocking is not always possible.)
In the case of “Party” I believe the system is being overly sensitive, but then again, the word may have been added by someone else to prevent confusion.
I really appreciate that you’re flexible and will consider the alternative suggestions offered!
