This is the Email I recieved to change my characters name..... Meanwhile.... Theres a quest called Camel Tow? LOL  I think the devs need to pick a side of the fence.   Gave me a good laugh.  Shortly before the GM contacted me I went into a random dungeon and someone in party said "Gross OMG dude your name"  Then said 5 seconds later,  "^&$k this guys I can't deal with this"  I loled irl and so did the rest of the group.....

I would refuse to group with you as well. Grow up.

Hm, given the policy, I wonder if they would change the name of the quest given what you have placed in bold.

While I see the point you're trying to make, the quest name is a double entendre which is found in children's movies like Shrek. It is a play on words in which there are two meanings, the first being the literal version, the second being a more "naughty" version. The thing about the quest is that younger players will take it at face value and read nothing into it.

The OP's name was the name of a state of being for male genitals. There are no two ways to slice it and there is no innocent meaning to his name.

What if someone were to erect an enormous monument? Wouldn't that be an un-offensive huge erection?

It still surprises me how people can get so offended by a name like this.
