Michelle said that in-game names will be carefully monitored at the time of player-choosing, first by the filter, then by a GM. It surprised me that each name would be run by a GM. Michelle explained that this was important for immersion in the game. Sigil is going all out to provide this immersive experience for the players, and names in Telon will be an important part of the immersion.
"We will have a detailed naming policy for characters and guilds," Michelle said. "When you select your character's name, it will be compared to an extensive name filter (and possibly rejected), then passed to a Game Master. Every name will be approved by a Game Master. If the GM determines that your name infringes on a section of the policy you will be notified which section and asked to choose another name. It is important for us to maintain the immersion. It will cover the basics and intentional abuses of letters, or misspellings."
