Once upon a time a certain ranger on Stromm had figured out a serverside cache glitch involving alts in zone with the same 6 characters in their first name and a bad resolution upon a player's death in zone.
The crash was caused by killing a lowbie (with a modrod) and because serverside couldn't name resolve the death past 6 characters.
He was griefing the server by crashing the guild lobby during raid times, etc. I actually called San Diego and got a senior executive on the phone while he was on with me while a dev account was ingame banning his characters. The dude just kept reappearing on alt after alt, then.... silence... it never happened again and we never saw the player again, Hid old name is banned on the name list.
