No appeals on forced beta name changes

Blizzard is actively issuing forced name changes to Forever beta characters that violate its naming policy, and has pulled beta access from some players whose names went far outside the Code of Conduct. The team says every action was reviewed individually by WoW’s own development staff.

Unlike the naming warning from earlier this week, which left room for appeals, Customer Service will not process appeals on these actions. Blizzard added that its system for enforcing naming standards comes online very shortly, and warned testers that probing it can cost them their beta access.

Why it matters: there is no appeal route this time, so a name that breaks the rules can end your beta.
