Strongholds are legacy wide...

I can see your point, but there are ways you can work around it. So far they have spoken about 4 planets with strongholds, so that is 4 houses you can buy for your characters and I'm sure more planets will be added before launch.

Make it three, since they haven't exactly confirmed that Republic players will be able to go to Dromund Kaas and Imperial players to Coruscant.

Ohhhhh wait...

Really?

My Light V Pureblood Sith Sorc healer has a sister who is a Pureblood Sith Light-side Jedi Guardian. Both sisters are working from within their respective organizations to free the Galaxy from the corruption and oppression of the Republic, the chaos and tyranny of the Empire, and the bloodshed and genocide each faction is responsible for.

All on the down-low of course.

Then they would just be routing out corruption within the Republic, destroying the Empire from within, and letting democracy resume and take its course unfettered by corruption. So basically a pair of Jedi doing what Jedi do lol

Ah yes....

Nothing like condemning something before you have sufficient data to determine if you actually have a problem here, or just more options.

Personally, until Strongholds is released, and we see what the actual Character/Legacy dependencies are (if any), I see no point in getting all worked up about it. AND... how about we stop pretending that the way new something releases in a major patch is the way it will stay forever.

As for the "nobility" and "specialness" of RP... and the /slap in the face meme...... sorry... but RP is no more or less special then any other play style in this game. Evidence: RP servers are RP servers in name only.

Protip: ALL MMOs impose some constraints on RP players (either by design, or as an artifact of design). I'm sure the OP and other avid RPers could troll every MMO forum on the internet about how they are disrespected, slaped in the face and are seeing the sanctity of RP crushed.

Legacy game mechanics > then RP preferences IMO. Why? Because good players are clever and are able to find effective ways to adjust their game experience to overcome constraints placed on them by MMOs. But yeah.. we also have players that would prefer to complain/demand/threaten (I'm generalizing, so nobody take the statement personally), unless the game is immediately redesigned to their personal desires. Most of the intractable players have move on to something else... which is good for them, and good for those who remain behind.

I will only say one last thing: to those who say "wait until it's out to complain" you couldn't be more wrong.

You complain *before* something is finished so it may be changed in time, once it's done making modifications is much harder if not impossible.

I'm with him. Your Sith isn't going to be on at the same time as your Jedi Master so wuts the problem? RP wise you can just say it's a different house. I'm pretty sure once you go into your stronghold it's an instanced area that you have to be in first before others can just waltz in, so you can basically just rearrange the furniture before invite you other people in. There problem solved.

I posted it elsewhere but when you use your family tree and head canon to fullest extent, it's not a problem.

*My Knight and Consular are cousins, so they can share the Coruscant house.
*My Trooper and BH are brothers, and good friends with my Smuggler, so they can share the Tatooine home.
*Even in my head-canon, my Agent lives on Nar Shaddaa, so he can have that place. My head-canon Kaliyo is in a relationship with Lieutenant Pierce, so I can see the Warrior crew moving in with the Agent for convenience.
*My Inquisitor will selfishly keep the DK house to himself.

Do you mail credits or gear between alts of different factions? If so, how do you justify this from an RP perspective?

I mean, isn't it just as silly to fund the enemy out of your own pocket as it is to share an apartment with them? Particularly when the money you just sent from your Jedi Knight to your Inquisitor helped her murder Republic citizens?
