An interesting policy change to WoW is currently being tested in the stress test. Apparently Blizzard is considering only allowing fantasy style names in the game. All others will be asked to change their character names. While this is currently just a test in the stress test environment, Blizzard states that if it works well it may become part of the final policy.

There is some very interesting discussion around this topic going on right now on the WoW beta forum in this thread. Including discussions on how to define fantasy names, how to police them, what about foreign language names, who defines Fantasy, etc. Check out the thread and get your say in now.
