[US] 6.2.3 - Use Some Protected Names for Characters/Guilds

[Smitten]

Still working as of 7.0.3!

My previous thread for 6.1 was pretty popular, so I thought I should post this one which is not as expansive.

WARNING: Some of these names are likely to get you banned if abused. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Step 1: Close WoW & your Battle.net Client. Navigate to your World of Warcraft Folder, and open the "WTF" folder located inside of it.

Step 2: Open "config.wtf" inside Notepad or similar plain text editor.

Step 3: Find the lines "SET textLocale" and "SET agentUID".

Step 4: Modify "enUS" (or whatever they are set as) to "ruRU"

Step 5: Save the file and open WoW directly through the executable - WoW-64.exe

Step 6: Log on and create guilds/characters!

Step 7: Close WoW and change lines mentioned in step 3 back to "enUS" to return to English.

It should work for basically every English character word in "NamesProfanity.dbc" - obviously this list comes with a strong language warning.

However, not every word here is considered a "swear word", but just comes under the banner of profanity for some weird reason, like "eggplant", "genocide", "mhz" and "windex".

You might be able to find some good ones if you look through the list.

Have fun guys, and don't forget to keep bad language out of this thread.

Awesome find. I love anything having to do with blizz files xD.

Awesome find! But is this fixed? I can't get it to work, once the game turns to Russian, I can't join any English servers or create any characters?

It still works on every US/Oceanic/Latin American/Brazil realm I've tested. This doesn't work on EU afaik.

[Willaika]

Oh well, sadly I am on Eu servers...

[HI5]

Tested only on US so can't speak for EU but on US it does work, with a little catch tho - it lets you make chars but good portion of them seems to get instantly flagged for rename ("boobs" worked for me tho and haven't got flagged )

Can't seem to get it working. Must have to do with the fact I can't access the 64 bit client maybe? Do I need to exit out of the battle.net client also?

[timmons]

Could be fixed, as soon as I start wow back up the file updates automatically.


Edit: Nevermind, forgot to start from wow 64

[motastic]

I wonder why "snowball" is in profanity filter. Is that supposed to be a slur for "white people"?

Also, "buttpirate" xD ?? wtf??

[edit] Nvm, found it on urban dictionary...

[Smitten]

Yes. I'll update main post.

Still works 100% for me as of writing this post.

I love this post. Honestly makes me want to level a crapload of Alts just to walk around Stormshield with some of these names.

Seems no matter what realm I try, it won't let me use the name "npc" or "playerone" even though they worked last time the name glitch was happening back in 6.1. To confirm that I'm even doing this right, I tried a couple of obvious banned names like "Aryan" and "Nazi" and "Rape" and they all worked just fine. So this is still working but some names just still seem to be locked regardless.

Some of the names in NamesProfanity also appear in NamesReserved, so you wouldn't be able to use them. Npc is one of those names off the top of my head.
