Sometimes jokes just go wrong for entirely different reasons than one would  expect.
 Recently I started a warlock as a joke, I chose a name that while  meaningless to most people could be kinda offensive and annoying to a specific  person in the guild my main lives in. I figured to play this little thing up to  10 or 11 where it would be visible on the armory and not bother past that point  until it was either reported or deleted. Well, it failed for one important  reason, I found that I really enjoy my little warlock. His void walker is  amusing, and I find I really like the demo tree so far( for all those screaming  that demo is horrid for leveling etc, eh dont care, its fun). So I was left with  a dilemma, I love the lock and want to play him, but even I didn't like the  name, so it was a process of wait and see if/when it was reported, then change  it, or pay to change the name. I am notoriously cheep at times so it was a wait  and see procedure. In the end it was reported for being in violation of the RP  naming guidelines (partial or complete sentence) rather than for being  offensive, but eh I am happy, as now there is a new tego to join the ranks of my  other toons, and I didn't have to pay for a name change.  
In the end what was supposed to be a minor diversion and a joke became my first real alt since... ever,  I now have boa gear, something i swore off of when I found out about it (my emblems are important yo. I wont waste them on that) and I have leveled another toon 26 levels so far, in a couple of weeks, by contrast the poor DK sits at 61, that having taken months to do, and only really happening because my fieance wanted a pocket jewel crafter.
