My character on an RP server is a sniper called threesixtynoscopexx.

If you don't like it, you can't report me. That would be breaking my immersions.

lol...this is awesome!!

I didn't know this was something that people took THIS seriously!!

I am soooooooooo going to the RP server and rolling some "non-RP" names!! LOL!!

You can't report people because YOU don't like the fact that they aren't sitting at home in their Jedi PJ's like you...and not "playing" the Jedi role the same as you.

Of all the issues in the game....I can't believe this is actually being viewed as..."an issue"

It's a matter of respect really. If people don't want anything to do with RP then there are 2 other server types, PvE and PvP, for them to play on. I don't really get people rolling on purpose on a RP server then naming themselves "EvilDarkSithLodrNubSmasherrr".
Of course there is no age restriction to play SWTOR, so I guess there are some stray 5 year olds who think its awesome.

I recall someone showing the rules and in those rules saying no elite speak names, ect period. Wasn't even RP server based.

Has that rule changed or just never been enforced?

From my understanding Bioware never enforced any special rules for RP servers including name restrictions.
Belgoth's Beacon ----> The Fatman ----> Prophecy of the Five ----> The Ebon Hawk

Here's the thread where it's talked about. But I go back to thinking it was never enforced. And the rules seem to be all server encompassing.

Truthfully, in a universe like Star Wars, I find it odd that people would have to name their characters xXxPWNEDxXx at all. Or making the Chiss and calling them Smurfette/Papa Smurf.

And like I said in that thread, didn't even know it was an actual rule before. I figured Bioware didn't care, and I haven't played a MMO yet where any RP rules for the game were actually enforced.

given the limits on names, do we really want non-roleplayers taking up good names anyway?

best thing is to stay away from those players if their names bother you. on the other hand do not forget that's what they want -trolling around- do not be trolled. just leave them to perish and fade away in time. if no1 groups up or chat with them they will be bored and move to other fresh places for trolling.
