Raivn Akhama	Posted - 2004.09.06 21:16:00 - [1] I hope so. It's bad enough to have muthertrcuker074 and CapnGalaxy as your space neighbors, but there at least you can close your eyes, hang on to the wheel and listen to Red Gathering Dust, and you may forget the idiots after a while. But what about stations? I can already see "Milkhouse's House," "Saoron's Big Tower" and "Four Seasons Hotel" dotting the landscape. This is offensive to anyone trying to role-play and disrupts any semblance of style. God knows, EVE isn't exactly flowing with charm, variety or good writing as it is, the galaxy is all but empty, the plot is a sham, add the rest of the familiar and fair complaints. And now there will be wholly out-of-character cuckoo houses where you can't help but see them.

Thalanor	Posted - 2004.09.06 21:25:00 - [3] Edited by: Thalanor on 06/09/2004 21:27:33 i too wouldnt like to see stations with stupid names, but aside from a few translation errors, but as for no charm or story, the chronicles etc provide the perfect background setting for eve. ----------------------------------------------

Etienne	Posted - 2004.09.06 21:27:00 - [5] I just wonder when the first people recognize the scamming potential as you can give them _any_ name

Band Zior	Posted - 2004.09.06 21:30:00 - [7] Hey, if you don't like the name then capture station and rename it. Oh, you can't? Then sit quiet while the big boys play their game. ---------- Richard Simmons in Space

Ronyo Dae'Loki	Posted - 2004.09.06 21:33:00 - [9] I'm going to own my very own station. And it's going to be named "Ronyo's Taco Bell Franchise." ------------- My salsa makes all the pretty girls want to dance and take off their underpants. I <3 ( . Y . )

Exactly - whos says Taco bell wont still be around in the future I wouldn't want to live in a future with no Taco Bell. "The long and short of it is that this game, or any game, is either going to be a kindergarten where it's safe and cuddly and secure and you can play with plush tigers, or it will be a harsh place, harsh but interesting and interesting because harsh, where you must take risks to succeed and so must everyone, since victory is tasteless without danger." - Raivn Akhama

Jacob Vought	Posted - 2004.09.07 03:42:00 - [23] "Julio's House of Wang" or "Monument to Patches O'Houlihan" would be entertaining. Of course if you don't like them couldn't you just get your pals to do a drive-by and blow the joint; thus doing a little EVE space-tagger cleaning. Actually that would be quite entertaining to see a crusading bunch of individuals on a mission to rid EVE of it's MMO non-RPG miscreants. There could be some fun in doing that. Of course if you actually see a station named "Julio's House of Wang" then it will be surrounded by masses of turrets-o-doom. [Julio = hoo-lee-oh]

Raivn Akhama	Posted - 2004.09.07 06:43:00 - [27] I don't get them up, don't worry. Maybe CCP lusts after player numbers so much, anything goes with them... but then, I doubt players would burst into tears and quit if they were told they couldn't have characters with stupid names. Corporate thinking? Who knows. And unfortunately there couldn't be any pro-RP crusaders, because a crusade of that sort would itself be anti-RP. After all, what in-game reason could we give? Although weeding out idiots is a holy cause in any setting.

Joshua Calvert	Posted - 2004.09.07 06:46:00 - [29] Wow, Raivn really has a high opinion of himself just because he "roleplays". If you don't like a station name, attack it and make it yours. LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
