Name filter bug wrongly blocked names with 'con'

Forever’s restricted name list, the filter that blocks profanity and reserved lore names, has a bug. Blizzard says the check has been too aggressive, incorrectly restricting some valid names, including any name containing the letters c-o-n.

Blizzard plans to fix it with the next scheduled realm restart in each region. If a name you tried was rejected as restricted before the fix, Blizzard says you’re welcome to try it again afterward.

Why it matters: with Early Name Reservation open through November 3, a name that was wrongly rejected is worth a second try once the fix is live.
