  1. They won't. Why? Because they've got RP-level rules on names on every server. You can't name your character after Star Wars lore characters, pop culture celebrities, historical figures, l33t speak, anything profane, etc. etc. etc. Most games will let you name yourself, "Ladygagahater" if you so wish. So if anything, they're kinder to the "Roleplay" or even just the "I want immersion" crowd. Question. Do you report these people? You have to understand that moderators can't be around as much as your average player, and if so, when you report someone, do you see them again? Does, "Icanhazchzbrgr" stick around for very long? I've noticed that since the start, the amount of "trolol" names have dropped significantly. Maybe it's because we actually report them? The effect is far less visible, as they, according to the ToS, not talk to you about banning other players beyond the initial report. Chat bubbles are, I will admit, one of the things that peeves me off about SWTOR RP, but it isn't as big an issue as you make out. We use our custom channels plenty and are typically able to keep up a conversation of about 5-6 people, and even occasionally having two different conversations in the same channel. It requries more patience and facilitation, but it still works. What we have here is a frankly, crude but working system. And to be honest, I'm glad we have a working system in the first. place. This, I am not sure about. Are there any other RP-PVP servers in your time zone? If not, then I can maybe see the logic of still wanting to consolidate them, but at the same time, reduce the amount of RP servers? Now, maybe Bioware feels that your RP-PVP servers, even if all combined, may not be enough to foster a healthy community. So, they are merging them with the nearest type of server, PVP. To be honest, you can still RP in a PVP server, they even have the same rules as I mentioned earlier.
  2. All I need to know is how is my Smuggler going to be...
  3. I remember seeing something similar tried in "that other game", and to be honest, I was lost the entire time. I like the idea, but it'd have to be very coordinated, at least on the part of the actors. Even in "that other game" with their chat bubbles, it was easy to get lost in the people /saying different clues and questions, imagine how difficult it'd be without them. It's a good idea, and I am all for it, I just want to see if you had any workarounds for the issues I just described.
  4. I'd beg to differ. The ones who believe that to RP they need every tool that a company can give them to do it... Hooray for imagination! Pfft. I meditate standing up, you're doing it wrong. I also sleep standing up. This is just silly. You really think it's worth the investment to give different stances different animations that 75% of the playerbase wouldn't care for or utilize... Lies! My Bounty Hunter looks absolutely spiffin'! Okay, so this is legitimate. I just want Port Nowhere to be opened up. Happened twice to me, in total. You really think you can wander the deserts of Tatooine and no die of heat exhaustion? No, our characters are all just inexplicably tall. This, I would just be patient for. I would be shocked and bewildered if expanded space combat were not a major feature of a big patch/expansion. As a non-crafter, I say... Hallelujah! Well duh, they are other peoples' houses. What makes a planet feel like Star Wars? Let's take a look at the "new" planets. Quesh, a planet with a toxic atmosphere and a war over resources going on, sounds Starwarsy. Voss, a forest planet trapped in autumn. Okay, Mr. Vader, fire up the Death Star. I am annoyed by the Voss anyways. Chat bubbles are non-existent. Ah... Yes. A double edged sword. Newbies will not be forced to watch level 50 Sith charge into the Republic starting zones and kill all the questgivers. Oh sire! Tell me more about your opinions that are obviously facts! Because fraud is a totally smart thing for them to do... Obviously not, you're still posting, and apparently according to earlier in your post, still trying to RP. i can haz ur stuffz? Funny. By the time I left WoW, people were saying the exact same things about WoW... Then they announced the Panda Expansion...
  5. Rakghoul Juice of course. Better get it before the Rakghoul corpses from the Plague run out.
  6. d'oh! Almost missed this! Obligatory post to make my presence known! Bask at your own risk.
  7. Wait huh? What exactly do you want people for? Forum RP? In-game RP? Roleplaying as Roleplayers? And what was that bit about the Emperor?
  8. In the Imperial Belsavis Cantina.
  9. Naope. It takes you taking 50 DS points to get it, but it does not require dark side I
  10. Next expansion: The Republic Strikes Back After that: The Republic strikes again After that...: The Republic kills the Emperor, TWICE. After that...: The Republic kills the Sith Inquisitor and sits on his face.
  11. Make a multi-million dollar MMO... To create awareness for a single-player RPG. Logic. Is. Perfect.
  12. Someone's obviously got a jaded view. It is okay to not always be in-character on a RP server, the idea of a RP server is that it is a server where one can find RP and it is acceptable to RP (not ERP) in public. Basically, one might not be in character while running Operations, because he doesn't want that to be a part of his story. Roleplayers tend to run events, hang out in certain spots (like cantinas) and such for RP, it isn't necessarily a, "If you break your character, you are not a roleplayer" situation. You can certainly say, ((Okay all, it's been fun and I've enjoyed this RP a lot, but I've gotta get up early in the morning)) (Double brackets meaning you are saying something as you, not your character) without breaking roleplay rules.
  13. I like Scum and Villainy Bar and Grill myself. I would love to have a "just chat" thread.
  14. Oh, and since everyone else is putting in an advertisement for their server... We are on Vrook Lamar over here. What we lack in sheer numbers we make up for in quirks and all that fun stuff. I've found Vrook Lamar to be a very enjoyable community, with friendly players and great roleplay, if small and slightly cliquish compared to some servers, however, if you ever want to hit anyone up for RP, any of the regulars to this site... http://www.vrooklamar.net/ Would be glad to. We are a very friendly, if not so big community. But we are growing, steadily.
  15. Okay, let's look at the Droids plus Blizz. C2-N2 and 2V-R8 would be duking it out over who gets SCORPIO, meanwhile Blizz rides around on his belly on top of T7, before getting distracted and trying to dismantle 4X, who protests fiercely but is unable to grab the guy, due to the awkwardness of his limbs. Corso would get along with... Iresso, Aric, Elara and Yuun I believe. They'd talk all day about the Republic, weapons, war and good drinks. I honestly think that Corso (assuming that the Smuggler character is a dude) would try to flirt with Dorne once Corso got drunk enough. Skadge and Khem would duke it out, with Bowdaar reffing. Broonmark may join in at the last second too, with Qyzen sitting there calculating how many Jagganth points each of them would give him. Gault and Guss Tuno would get along, both con men who have a knack for staying alive. Risha, Vette, Kira and Mako may get along. Heck, I could even see them flaunting off their guys and trying to decide who's the best. DS Jaesa and Lord Scourge would sit in a corner, wondering who to kill, while LS Jaesa sits in the other corner, meditating or something.
