A person on Balmung was shouting for any RP guilds that did endgame. I asked what they were looking for in an RP guild and someone goes. "There are RPers here?" and a bunch of people answer that Balmung was the unofficial RP server since 1.0 and he goes "I have so many people to troll!"

While that was annoying, a few people right after him said "Leave the RPers alone." and "Shut up." and he went silent, so that was awesome.

Trolls everywhere.

Pretty much this.

You will encounter trolls and griefers on every realm. Even if SE made official RP servers, you'd find them there too.

World of Warcraft has official RP realms, and let me tell you. They are FULL of jerks who just spend their day trolling RPers.

Yeah. The worst of them are the people who -act- like they're RPing but really are just there to frustrate everyone else by ERPing in public or generally just being... terrible.Â

"How do I know your name? Why, I can see it above your head!"

*shudder* I got that once on WoW. No lie.

But really, running around Gilg for the time I was, I didn't see much trolling going on. Though, to be honest, I didn't see much RP either. People were too busy, from I could see, playing the game. X-D

I saw some really funny (and really bad) names, though. The one that made me cringe most was Kael'thas Sunstrider. >_<

Personally I didn't run into one griefer and I was one of the fortunate ones who got to play the majority of the weekend. Remember, this was an Open Beta. Meaning anyone who signed up or was given a code by a friend got in so that doesn't reflect the actual people who will be actually paying for the game.

For a week or more now there have been posts about the Gilgamesh OOC Coalition Linkshell, with details pertaining to how you can get in touch with other members to be handed a linkpearl to get in contact with other roleplayers. Next time you log in if you're not all ready in the OOC linkshell, I can invite you or you can add me so I can invite you under the name Luluni Luni.

I saw one named Shadowsong Maiev. Ugh.

Is it not bad enough that people can't be original, they have to use names from a completely different MMO?

Jomoru · **08-20-2013, 02:01 AM**

Of course Gilgamesh is hostile. I mean he's an archer and doesn't want to be bard how would Â bard use gates of babylon?

Quuyn · **08-20-2013, 02:02 AM**

Best names I saw were "Cloudy Strife" and "Reno Shinra"Â

...And the Legendary Lalafel, slayer of beasts: "Dong Squad"

I am jealous you saw this! Omg so funny. Am I the only one who gets a laugh out of seeing these names? I'm sorry but I don't feel like I am playing an mmo if I don't see one of these.

Damn you Gilgamesh dingbats with your boring names! I DEMAND better idiot names like the one above!

*pouts*

A few thoughts that occured to me reading the last few posts...

Official labelled RP servers actually get more trolls than unofficial ones because the trolls don't need to do any research to find them. It's like a shining beacon.

Trolling by RP... I've seen this on Rift. Some guy was /dancing naked in the middle of people (including me) having a IC convo. I tried the "integrate them" approach saying things like how he was a madman etc. and the guards should take him, that poor crazy man, for disturbing the peace. Then some guy (probably is accomplice) came along taking his side and saying he was doing nothing wrong and he was just dancing because he was happy we shouldn't bully him, all of this of course IC.

In hindsight, it was pretty hilarious and I can understand the trolls getting a kick out of it.

I mean come on, anyone who played D&D knows this: interrupting RP with a joke is always funny... the thing when we RP online is we get into it, and we feel like we're being interrupted by an outside source. It's like someone bursting into your living room during a D&D game and doing or saying stupid things

It's not what is being said or done that is really annoying. Half the time, in another context, it would be funny. It's the inappropriateness of it. Of course, that's exactly what makes it funny for them.

As for funny names.. sorry Rock, I don't remebmer all of them!
But be sure play the Namespot game in your OOC LS (which I totally forgot to join cause I was too busy SA. ^^; )

Whut

Let's see... Â I ran into Sylvanas Windrunner, the Silver Surfer, Khaleesi Drogo, Dova Kin (lol), Child Molester (I wish I was kidding...it was A Mi'quote), Ramrodicus Maximus (a male Highlander), Bok Choy (a Lalafell), Balon Greyjoy...honestly can't remember the rest. Â There were a LOT of hilarious names the first day.

Selsix · **08-20-2013, 03:43 AM**

Oh oh wait! I remembered a couple other good ones I saw:

Papa Smurf: Lalafell
Steak Sammich: Roegadyn

Oh and a male Elezen named Red XIII. ...Couldn't he have at least made it a Miqo'te?Â Dodgy

Jomoru · **08-20-2013, 04:03 AM**

Best name I saw as in Phase 3. Cherri Poppins

Raccoon · **08-20-2013, 04:05 AM**

There was a Child Molester and Noble Rapist outside Ul'dah. Didn't find them funny but you gotta hand it to them for being able to start a shitstorm without needing to say a word. /shout was an endless tirade from everyone that spotted them.

Fox · **08-20-2013, 04:08 AM**

While I was on Balmung; I had this crazy naked elezen guy dance and thrust in my miqo'te's face... o_o; And uh... Flirt-spam which I ignored completely since I have separate tabs. Didn't even acknowledge him.Â

Best thing to do is just not pay any attention. He got bored after five minutes and left.

As for names... I saw everything from KneeSocks to Opera Winfrey and Alicia Keys.

I was somewhat upset that I couldn't report their names as inappropriate. Â Spoiled by WoW, I suppose!

Rinh Hallani · **08-20-2013, 04:11 AM**

Heh, some funny names there. Only one I can remember now is an arcanist called Ace Rimmer (from Red Dwarf). I was sorely tempted to whisper him and say "What a guy!"

As for trolling, yes, it happens everywhere. I've always chosen RP realms in WoW and, although you may get interrupted from time to time, non-RPers usually leave you alone. On the odd occasions someone does bother me, I ignore them and perhaps go afk for a few minutes. They quickly lose interest if you don't respond. Worst case is I move the RP elsewhere and set the troll on ignore.

LiadansWhisper · **08-20-2013, 04:31 AM**

Oh, I just remembered one.

Hanali Celanil. Â Yes, folks, the Tel'Quessir Goddess of Love made an appearance on humble Balmung. Â And in case you are wondering, she was, indeed, an Elezan.
