Thread: That Guild Name Is Not Allowed
Might be the fact that your trying to create a sentence with it (or what the system is reading as a sentence)
Possibly the use of the word Nuke
I dont think Empire is the problem since we have a PA named Eternal Empire on our server.
Your just gonna have to experiment with names to see what you can and cannot use.
I just recently went through the hell of a name change. I wanted to have a name that was more Star Warsy than Fantome Mercenaries so I had chosen Force X (pronounced ten not ex). Why the X and not a 10? Numbers can not be used even if you try to use alpha-numerics. So Force Ten wouldn't work either.
Another problem was that there is a guild already using Task Force X on my server and I found this out six days after submitting the name change. It takes the full seven days to have the name change go into effect btw. I am thinknig that Force X would have stuck as our tag was a smiple X and theirs was TFX. But we decided to go for something different and original. It would have been helpful if therte was a master list somewhere to view the names currently in use as to avoid these situations.
If you are trying for a Star Warsy name, the Official Star Wars website www.starwars.com does not list any specific units (other than Rogue Squadron) from the brief research I was able to do, but itdoes give a good idea of how to name a military unit. To sum it up, the units are based along the lines of US and British armed forces during World War II mostly.
Not sure if any of that is at all helpful, just thought I would through it out there for anyone interested.
