Its not just americans.
I think the same way.

Why do ppl use such stupid names instead of thinking about one, who fits better into the virtual world we are playing in?
Its still a Massively Multiplayer Online >ROLEPLAYING< Game.
I wouldnt play games like Fallout, Neverwinter Nights, Skyrim etc. too, if the Character is named "Pe**s" who tries to save his Girlfriend "vag**a" from the Villain called "Erectile Dysfunction" u know...
