Another thought on the WoW idea, rather than a class of character how about naming them after a much sought after item, weapon, or armor?

Sword of a Thousand Truths.  WoW nerds and South Park nerds alike will love it.

Any well known PC game will have there names copyrighted, or you will have to get permission from them to use there names or likeness i would venture to say

You're not going to run into any unforseen trademark or copyright issues with those names are you?

I know the Call of Duty and Medal of Honor franchises are heavily protected as is Half Life and WoW.

It's going to be all in the naming... IE WOW has the Death Knight | Druid | Hunter | Mage | Paladin | Priest | Rogue | Shaman | Warlock | Warrior... but these are all known names used within a dictionary other then a Death Knight.  As long as I am not calling it the WOW Death Knight _____ System I am ok so says my attorney.  Additionally I am not not selling gaming software, so I am not competing with any of these companies.

Agreed, I could not use World of Warcraft but using WOW would be allowed since this is a word and not a title.

On a side note, TD I'm so happy to see you back man, you'll be getting a PM in the near future I hope about a build. 

Welcome back to the states Sir.   

TY TY    Look forward to hearing from you.

Oh trust me, I think I'm more looking forward to it than you are right about now with this P.O.S. machine that is at the house. 

[ABDCWOT]

I'm still looking for your tapa-kegga machine.

Comp names could be:

Small balls - economy machine
Bouncing Balls - better than above
Big Balls - medium gamer
Monster Balls - high end gamer


Add Wet for a water cooled machine.

Roll back into the past a bit TD.

Doom was the best in its day.
Quake took it to another level

If your aiming these systems for pilots, then you need to look at aircraft names.

"the Hawg"
"Run Hun"
"Zeke"
"Mustang"
"Yak Attack"

Actually some of those are just funky enough they might go over like gangbusters.

You could also use aspects of WoW's roles, like The Tank | The Dungeoneer | The Raider. I don't know much about MMORPGs to name any other roles.

Starcraft 2
MW2

Delta Force! That game was so much fun.

It ended up being mostly cheaters and hackers though so "bye bye".
