Terrible MMO Names

A showcase of just the worst (or best) character names in MMOs. Collected over many years from WoW, FF14, ESO, GW2, and others. (Not currently seeking submissions) !! THE PURPOSE OF THIS BLOG IS TO SHARE FUNNY PICTURES DO NOT CONTACT/HARASS ANYONE IN THESE SCREEN SHOTS !!

! ! ! THIS IS NOT A HATE BLOG ! ! !

!! DO NOT HARASS/CONTACT ANYONE POSTED !!

The impetus of this blog is not to shame or send hate to anyone for having a 'bad' name - but rather as a lighthearted showcase of funny, 'cursed', or clever names for characters I've come across in ~20 years of playing MMOs.

As someone who has many 'cursed' character names myself, I believe it is in good fun to share them - I know I give my characters funny names to make people laugh, and I assume the same is true of others. This blog makes no judgements on the people behind the names and absolutely rejects the notion that anyone deserves hate or harassment over a silly thing like a character name in a video game. If you believe that, please do not interact with this blog and also go get some therapy.

If you have an issue with a post please address me - not anyone included in any posted screenshots.

Cool, I queued up like, a week of posts. I dunno if this is a blog there was any real demand for, I just have... so, so many screen shots of names I've accumulated over the years (with various levels of cursedness). I want to share them because they make me laugh, or cringe, or sometimes even brighten my day. I hope anyone who does tune in appreciates that this is a genuine 'I love MMO communities' blog and will appreciate the sentiment behind it.

Remember that people are (mostly) good and if you don't know the person you should never assume someone is a bad person based on such a fleeting interaction as a character name. Please spread love to the silly people in your life, both online and off.

Jail. All Lalafell players, go to jail.

(Reminder - do not contact or harass anyone posted. This blog makes no assumptions about the player behind the character- any commentary is simply meant to add humor to the post)

'Barrens Chat' isn't really a place so much as a state of mind.

Honestly, it's comforting to know MMO players across both different eras and different games are still more or less the same. Together let's appreciate this moment of common humanity - and the simple joy of drawing a penis in chat.

Search 'Hardcore' and 'Roleplay' in the ESO guild finder to find some real awfully named gems.

"I hope this is just about killing puppies and not something worse" is never a sentence I thought I'd say while playing an MMO. Or in general. Yet here we are.

For the blog's first showcase it only seems fit to drag myself.

There was a precise moment I stopped caring about respecting the lore for the nightbourne and it was around day 45 of reputation grinding in the worst minigame in WoW's history.
