Amazon’s MMO New World, which has been expected for months (actually years), opened its servers yesterday. But there are some things you should pay attention to when playing New World, one of which is character names that you can’t get. These names, some of which you can’t get because they’ve already been taken, and some that you can’t get because Amazon doesn’t allow them, are, of course, derivatives of “Bezos” and “Amazon.” A Turkish language support campaign was launched for the highly anticipated New World in Turkey.
You may not be able to call your character “Bezos’ wallet” when playing New World
As the game’s production company, Amazon does not allow you to use the name or derivatives of Jeff Bezos, the boss of either his own firm or the company and the richest person in the world – still. New World gives two different caveats when it comes to naming names.
If someone else has received the name you want to put, they will receive the warning “This name is already in use”, while for names that the company does not allow, “This name cannot be used”. Abusive names are already banned, but names containing “Bezos” or “Amazon” are in the category of “unavailable” names. It’s interesting that Amazon sees its own company name and company CEO in the same category as “abusive names,”But they may not have wanted to see players walking around in their own games as “Jeff Bezos’s Wallet”…
The name “Beff Jezos” has already been taken. The names “JeffB”, “Bez0S” and “Be Zos” are among the “banned” names.
