    Removing of restricted names possible?

    Hey there
    This is my first post, though I've been on the site for some time.
    I've seen a list of restricted names in 3 of the WoW files:

    wow/data/enGB/locale-enGB.MPQ:
    DBFilesClient/NamesProfanity.dbc
    DBFilesClient/NamesReserved.dbc

    wow/data/enGB/patch-enGB.MPQ:
    DBFilesClient/NamesProfanity.dbc
    DBFilesClient/NamesReserved.dbc

    wow/data/enGB/locale-enGB-2.MPQ:
    DBFilesClient/NamesProfanity.dbc

    I've tried to edit these files (dbceditor) and switch "gm" into something else, but it doesn't seem to work. And save them as patch-3.MPQ, but it doesn't work.
    Just wanted you to know. I know it's client side (restricted names) since it doesn't connect to anything before telling you "That name is unavailible". If anyone's up for it I think It'd be cool (or have a solution on how to do it). If it doesn't fit in here, 'cause of model change in-game advantage nerf, please delete this post.

    All restrictions are regulated from Blizzard and their servers. As far as I know it is impossible to avoid these restrictions.

    Okay, I've made a little video to show that name restrictions are client side. Then I dunno if Blizzard blocks it later on, anyways here it is. I've set my firewall to block all traffic.

    Hello Simey, I am Demonkunga.
    The files you have listed have in fact been tested as you said, and we have come to the realization, that the names are controlled server side. You may ask what is the DBC for then? DBC files are a "guide" for the client. Some affect gameplay when edited, others do nothing, since they are only a guide.
