Please make a rediculously strict name policy.  If you don't then the creative ****heads that seem to permeate every MMO will find a way to get some stupid name that hurts the RP of the game.

Best (for me) would be to get a list of five names to choose from as you make your character. Based on race and sex. That would keep Tomatosmile and cerealskull away from the game. A real fascist system, but I would vote for it.

I'm not a fan of bad names, however this sort of policy should only apply to a Roleplaying server.  (which from what I understand is all the open PVP ones)

I would really hate not being able to name my own charakter.. I agree that all those "none roleplaying" names are really annoying and are destroying the rp feeling (RPPVP servers). But only beeing able to choose from names given to you that you don't like... that would just make me a sad panda.

Soul is not a genre, it is where music flows from.

They also need to not go down the road of TR and some how allow names like "jdksfk" and "gkgkgks" which tons of gold spammers would use.

Not quite. At the moment they have announced the following server types:

PvE***** PvP***** RP PvP.

Why there is not an RP PvE choice I have no idea. They already have a system in place to administer an RP ruleset but have only chosen to apply it to some PvP servers. *shrug* 

The Themepark Method of making MMOs is structured entertainment, akin to a puzzle. I prefer a legos style where I can build what I want and something new everyday.

So, it's ok for you to restrict someone else's fun as long as you're the one benefitting, correct?

Not everyone wants to RP, nor should they feel forced to (or at least adhere to the standards of RPers); after all, they pay the same amount of money for the game as you do.

However, if it is only strict on RP servers, then I suppose it's alright.

Yeah, there can. Unless you are going to presume to tell people what RP is. You see, your idea of RP is not the end all, be all. Others have their idea of RP, which doesn't include a FFA PvP server. This comes down to the fun factor, and FFA PvP isn't fun for everyone.

This said, having RP PvE servers will in no way affect people who want RP PvP servers. So those who ask the question you have stated can happily go to the RP PvP server. I'm not sure why, other than being mean spirited, do people rail against RP PvE servers. You don't have to make a character on those servers so the idea shouldn't concern you at all.
