That's probably for the best. I got a good laugh out of it for awhile though. |

Originally posted by SuperXero89 Most amusing part is the rage it causing on both sides on the forums. I actually pity the devs. Ragnar says , yeah , we're going to change it to avoid any trolling/issues and then the pro "Faerie" name crowd is now screaming bloody murder. They can't win sometimes I guess.

Originally posted by Dahkot72 people are such cry babies, if they can't play in a server because of a name they should not even be playing this game, lol, they probably don't even know what Faerie means... there is a lot of stuff inside the game that is very controversial, it's better going into it with an open mind, especially if you are going Dragon. I just hope they don't remove lore from the game because some people can't "handle" it |

To be honest calling it Faerie pobably would have stopped alot of the Non-RPers from joining up because its not "Badass" enough.
I would play on an RP server called Fairy, Nessie, whatever who cares??? |

Originally posted by jiveturkey12 yeah, I expected the TSW player base to be better than this... I wasn't even going to play in the RP server because of my guild but this is sad. |

I dont get this, a server name is of no importance at all Best MMO experiences : EQ(PvE), DAoC(PvP), WoW(total package) |

What's the issue here? I would play on that server specifically because of that name. I was one of the first people to roll on the Fatman server in SWTOR because how do you not roll on a server named "Fatman?" Just like how do you not roll on a server name "Faerie?" People take their gaming too seriously.

Originally posted by heartless That's probably one of the best reasons to change the name though. I knew in early access that Fatman was going to be a huge server in SWTOR because it had irony value, which PVPers gravitate to. I don't think you want the roleplay server to be attractive to those aggressive PVPer types, so changing the name from Faerie to something innocuous would probably serve the RPers better :D

Originally posted by jiveturkey12 Exactly my thought....now i'm really worried, if the name change to "cthulhu" then it won't really be a RP server anymore due to the influx of cool-server-name-seeker |

They should call it something boring like "barrel" or "crate" or something so only the roleplayers go there, so they can have the kind of RP community they want without aggressive PVPers rolling in.

What's so bad about Faerie? I would think that it would be a top-notch name for an RP-server, given how most people who RP are familar with the entire fey mythos found in various settings. It's unbelievable how silly people can be about stuff like this. <3 |

Originally posted by dreamscaper I think the problem is, Faerie would attract a lot of "l33t" PVPers to the roleplay server. Irony value is a big thing these days.

Originally posted by Greyhooff They can call the RP server anything they want. They should still keep the Faerie server and just have it as normal. I guarantee you that it will be the most populated server in the game. I know that I'll be one of the first members, rocking a hot pink fauxhawk and sunglasses. People really do take gaming too serious at times. I mean, do they honestly think that anyone is going to think less of them because they play on a server called "Faerie?" If anything it just shows their insecurity, in my opinion.

The true irony is that when you look at the origin of the faeries (or fae), they were really cruel and dangerous. Their "image" has been severely altered to the extent that most people laugh at them nowadays. |

Now, what they should do is make a series of investigation missions that are changed/updated every 2 hours or so, to be able to access the RP server. Make it incredibly difficult, to make sure that the PvP kiddies stay out.
Or possibly internet background checks for trolls XD |
