Really? I mean there are much MUCH more "offensive" names out there. What kind of gun are you using to drive the nails into your own coffin, funcom?
When you play this game for several years, your name becomes your identity.
This shouldn't be arbitrarily removed.
Names are fairly subjective and depend on context and culture.
Unless it's derogatory, racist or obscene, if you have any respect for your players, you work with them to find an amicable solution.
Train your GM's better Funcom.
Apart from the cheaters mentioned, there's also plenty of unnecessary verbal abuse in global all the time everyday. I find a lot of things people can't help writing and/or spam when they could just keep it to themselves, like a mature person would, more offensive than a name with "ganja" in it. In fact, I find "ganjafarmer" a very funny name.
In a different game where I admin, we don't allow names that resemble dictators, which is understandable, but what is the problem with pot here? This situation is just absurd.
A petition to change a name actually had an effect? Ever since the "Duckkiller" debacle, I think they completely folded on the issue.
But well, in the end, they did fold here, too.

BTW: Ganja is a city in Azerbaijan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganja,_Azerbaijan)
Guess there are GM's in AOC who are buttbuddies with some lowballing (OR Biblebashing ?) players. So sad.

I was already wondering when you told us that they renamed you only minutes after my first post here. At least in one area they're focussed...
If they won't help you just farm some more ganja and buy the whole damn company, i hear they're looking for investors atm...
Jokes aside, I still hope this bs will dissolve itself and you get your name back.
