Amdramnar Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Oh I certainly hope so. The idea is to be your own character not a copy of a character in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frigidman Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 The other day I saw: Hannsolo Hahnsolo Handsolo Honsolo Haansolo Solohan Han-solo And then Frank. Kind of silly, but some people don't want to be unique, they enjoy being a copy of something else? *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camthylion Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 I am trying to get to the bottom of the story. I hear some say you're not allowed to us lucas characters, and then I hear you can? I have my own names, but I am wondering because its either you can be Obi'won or you need to create your own name or use the name generator.

craggy Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 anyone naming themselves Handsolo is either very funny, or incredibly, inadvertently accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikazii Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 RP servers have no name enforcement besides the standard filter. So just like your name can't be a curse, it also can't be Obi'wan, Vader etc. If you want to mess with the name to beat the filter, it won't be changed. That said, most people on said RP server will not be amused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyukanoHi Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 "Yeah, I saw a fat avatar with the name Slim'Jim, you can guarantee I won't even party with him, much less RP with him. Basically, far as I'm concerned, he's not a person, he's just an @**h*** with some impressive mouse skills." "Now, if you want to be silly on a PVE server, that's cool. If I were on one, and I saw that, I'd shrug and shake my head, but I wouldn't care. However, if you're going to be on an RP server, at least have the decency to lay low if you aren't an RPer. Make a real RP name, have a little to say about your character, and don't RP if you don't want. The point is, keep the ambiance. It's not like it wasn't clear that you were on an RP server, you could at least respect the community." "On a PVE or PVP server you don't have to worry about any of that, so why come over to the RP server and mess with the immersion?" "Notably, this is directed at anyone, not the OP. However, if you're considering being 'Hannsolow', stay on an PVE server and giggle to your hearts content. I don't think it's amusing, but I honestly couldn't care less what you do there."

psheets Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Have to agree with the above. If you want to have a silly name on a PVE or PVP server... go for it. If you do it and roll on a RP server however don't expect to be loved. Most of the folks who roll on RP servers tend to look down severely on stupid names, which means you might have a harder time getting help, or even grouping.

Branch Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I just need to point out something.... Obi-Wan.... that is all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camthylion Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) I just need to point out something.... Obi-Wan.... that is all... You're right, but its been awhile since I read his name in a book. I always forget the spelling. I just am wondering because I see so many players with lucas characters running around, known Sith Lord names. Its just to bad a Lucas name policy isn't enforced.

Camthylion Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 I am just a new player asking for help on if its allowed for me to take Lucas names. I believe this is the place to ask such a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakeLightbearer Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 The random name generator suggested the name "Lucass" for me, despite the terms of use indicating such names weren't allowed (I passed it up). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been dealing with 6 different Bobbbafeezztz on Ebon Hawke and just was in a poor mood on the topic. I understand that. On RP servers, in my opinion, Bioware should enforce their rules (which I found were well written and clear). I hope players on RP servers will report or find a solution. Ironically, on the PVP server Veela (Full), people have good names up to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psheets Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 We only had wonderful people on EH up until the actually launch... but I think people don't understand what the RP tag means. There has been many a times I wanted to tell someone it didn't suggest a server for "retarted people." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasscity Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 My main is named "Starwars" and my alt is named "Ewok." Personally, I could care less about names. It's not like your name ultimately decides your characters fate. Just play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raygungirl Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 All I know is my boyfriend and I both made our Legacies and we each got surnames from the Force Unleashed games. I was really surprised they were allowed/not taken already, but I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
