World of Warcraft: Forever has a new two-name system, given it'll be taking place on one big megaserver—which has a few advantages, like making sure you can typically get your chosen first name without the sheer volume of players snapping it out from under you.

Naturally, being a bunch of silly geezers, WoW players have been using it to mercilessly run bits. Here's a quick list of some of my favourites that myself and my colleagues have seen, plus a gallery of images to reassure you that they are, in fact, real:

  • Rotten Nutz
  • Skonch Prime
  • Minion Cuck
  • Lancedalot Nowimdead (notably, an undead paladin).
  • Huge Bulge
  • Take Meds
  • Zugzug Workwork
  • Gotta Poo
  • Girlwho Suggestsyaoi
  • Ballbag Billy
  • Po Tayto
  • Supplement Bottle
  • Looks Maxxer
  • Floorpov Povfloor
  • John Warcrimes

But beware: If you wish to join the ranks of these absurdly-named heroes, Blizzard has confirmed it'll be removing beta access from people who name themselves something terribly rude: "Character names must adhere to our naming policies, including in Beta. If you violate those policies that may result in the removal of beta access."

Harvey's history with games started when he first begged his parents for a World of Warcraft subscription aged 12, though he's since been cursed with Final Fantasy 14-brain and a huge crush on G'raha Tia. He made his start as a freelancer, writing for websites like Techradar, The Escapist, Dicebreaker, The Gamer, Into the Spine—and of course, PC Gamer. He'll sink his teeth into anything that looks interesting, though he has a soft spot for RPGs, soulslikes, roguelikes, deckbuilders, MMOs, and weird indie titles. He also plays a shelf load of TTRPGs in his offline time. Don't ask him what his favourite system is, he has too many.
