Character Creation Disabled?

[Frey]

I just logged on the first time in a while, was going to stat a new character to try some things out, something new.

By what name do you wish to be known?
grivarnak
Did I get that right, xxxxxxxx (Y/N)?
y
Sorry, new players can't be created at the moment.
Starting timer for alting.


This seems like a problem?

This is intentional. There is someone creating newbies with incredibly racist names and targeting another player through names as well. Since bans are so easy to avoid, we are forced to lock the game to creation of newbies at times.

I move that all bug reports be prefaced with a haiku from now.
