I find your lack of chat bubbles disturbing. seriously though they should be added for "/say" and nothing else to be doen right. Ive played mmos where every channel has its chat show up in a chat bubble and its annoying. /say is the only one that needs it.

I wouldnt recomend rerolling on another server yet. I wanted to discover the servers with the best rp on them too so i roled different characters across 4 different rp servers and so far i havent seen rp on any of them yet, so its not jsut this one. The game hasnt even officiall launched yet so i think peopel are still jsut exploring the game and what it has to offer still at this point so the rp will be light for the moment as the game is still very new to everyone. I am on 4 different rp servers and this is kindof the situation on all of them.

I see what you are saying but as far as the light/side dark side thing goes, from what i hear bioware will be adding in neutral gear as well. As far as RPing and quest rewards go... I have a bounty hunter too, and my bounty hunter will take the path to the best reward. This fits in character too because shes going to want to complete the job that gives her the best reward as someone who is motivated primarily by profit and reward as a character. Wheras on my Jedi Consular, I will choose the most "good" or lightside path, as she is less motivated by her reward, and more motivated by doing whats right, so i wont even consider the reward as a factor in my choice. So its about what you, as a player value more too: the choice/action, or the reward. And just liek your character, you will be tempted to make the choice for better reward, and the path of what is right will be harder to follow at times. Real life is often the same way, where if you want to get a certain reward it may call for you doing something questionable to do it and its a moral dilema where you weigh the reward vs your personal moral implications and either give in to temptation or resist through your own vitue. So to me it actual strengthens roleplaying, giving your decisions weight. people complain about the companion system too and how your decisions can ruin your relationship so it makes you want to choose what pleases them even if it doesnt fit your character. To me, again, the companion system strenghtens roleplay through the weight of decisions. Companions, be they freinds, family, or associates, are always going to judge your actions and they arent always going to agree with them. You can either be yourself and risk the disaproval of those around you, or try and act a certain way around them to gain approval. It is no different in the game. haviung said all that, the light side/dark side isue is a problem until they get to adding the neutral armor as that is just too high a cost atm. I still ignore it and play for the character not the gear, but by the time i get high enough level for it to matter i am assuming the neutral gear will be in.
