Guild Wars 2

It looks like the suspension has been lifted and a forced rename is in place to play the character. I haven’t had any luck with any other variations of the name that haven’t been taken yet, it doesn’t help that I’m a little paranoid now. o_o

Anyway thanks everyone.

No, I’ve been playing for less than a week and I’ve never had any warnings or anything. Part of the reason I’m feeling slighted about it was because I wasn’t given the option to change the name, rather than suspending me for 3 days.

I only mention her race and class because a phouka is a prankster fairy creature, it’s why I picked the name for a fae-like creature like an asura and a thief.

I’m new to Guild Wars, having started playing 2 just a couple days ago. I was playing without incident today when without warning I was banned and suspended for 72 hours for having an inappropriate name.

I named my Asura thief Phuca after a mischief spreading fae creature from irish folklore with a few different spellings called a Pooka/Puca/Phouka/Phooka: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pooka. I had a problem finding a spelling that wasn’t taken, so I found an available alternative that was a combination of them. I didn’t realize my name was offensive, I feel like the suspension/ban is unfair. I can change my character’s name but I’d really like to keep it because of it’s meaning. I’d at least like to not be suspended for 3 days for something I didn’t realize I did wrong.

I filed a support ticket for it, I hope to get some feedback about it.
