A bug made the restricted name list block too many names; the fix arrives with each region's next realm restarts.
Bug Fixes
- Fix: The restricted name list, which blocks names that aren't profane but are reserved, such as major Warcraft lore characters, refused too many names: for example, every name containing “con”.
- Fix: The fix arrives with each region's next realm restarts. Afterward, a name the game refused as restricted can be tried again.
Publication is October 28 UTC (the title's October 27 is Pacific time). The post dates no deployment beyond the next realm restarts, so the release date stays unknown.
