The Corporation discussion forum over at eve-o is overrun by threads on this new bob related issue. A GM has changed the name of Kenzoku to Bob Reloaded as you can read here. Normally you have to disband your alliance and form a new one under a new name to get this done, apparently having ties with CCP gets things done easier.

People are whining all over now (and deservedly so) that when they tried to changed their name (even a simple c to a Capitcal C) their petition gets denied, but this one went through. This is now of course leaking towards other forums, like MMORPG.

Even when there are no ties, and this petition went through all the proper channels and it got approved, I still think CCP did a really bad job here. After the scandal, now almost two years ago, they should realize that as soon as they soon even the smallest favoritism towards Bob (reloaded) it’s going to look bad.

So all in all a bad decision by CCP and one that will cause some bad PR yet again.

UPDATE: The decision has been reversed, good call by CCP !
