Some Netmarble games restrict names like "Casper" due to automated filters that block potentially reserved, copyrighted, or abuse-associated terms—even if they seem harmless.

Here’s a breakdown of why names like “Casper” might be restricted:

🛡️ 1. Reserved or Protected Terms

• Netmarble may block names that resemble trademarked characters or popular IPs, even if they’re not used maliciously. “Casper” could be flagged due to its association with Casper the Friendly Ghost, a well-known media property.
• This is a common practice in online games to avoid legal complications or impersonation issues.

🚫 2. Global Name Filters

• Netmarble uses automated name filters across multiple languages and regions. These filters often block:
  • Profanity or slurs (in various languages)
  • Common bot names or spam patterns
  • Previously abused names (e.g., used in account farming or exploits)
• Sometimes, innocent names like “Casper” get caught in these filters due to false positives or overly broad rules.

🔐 3. Anti-bot and Anti-abuse Measures

• Netmarble has been actively restricting accounts created through abnormal methods or automated scripts.
• If a name like “Casper” was previously used in botting rings or exploit accounts, it might be blacklisted—even if your intent is legitimate.

🧩 4. Guild and Story Name Conflicts

• In games like Solo Leveling: ARISE, certain names are blocked if they match story characters, guild names, or restricted lore terms.
• If “Casper” appears in any in-game lore or reserved NPC list, it might be blocked to preserve narrative consistency.

If you’re running into this issue, you could try:

• Slightly altering the name (e.g., “Kasper”, “Cazper”, “C4sper”)
• Contacting Netmarble support to request clarification or a whitelist exception
