I like story and a good RPG. I just don't understand how anyone thought that would mix with an MMO, at least if it was going to be this restrictive. VOs be damned.
Imagine a Mass Effect MMO where every Alliance soldier character was Commander Shepard. He might have different names and looks but it would be Commander Shepard.
Same with every smuggler being that same douchebag that couldn't hold on to his shi-, oh but oh no, mine's totally different because I picked the flirt option once. :o UNGhsdgsdf
Nevermind that the story just feels poorly paced thanks to all the generic missions inbetween the actual story stuff.
