Your generic, stereotyped RPer complains too much. I know this because I am a heavy RPer, and have the... pleasure (?) of interacting with some of the most high maintenance, controlling and generally inflamed folk on the internet.
Now, I'm chill. Take that for what it is, it doesn't make me better than anyone, or worse. Also, I may be sending this in the wrong direction... so bear with me.
It's always been my philosophy that RPing is about existing without control. Just like life. You put a character in the world, and they are suddenly forced along a path, or placed into a circumstance against their will, etc. This freaks ALOT of RPers out, since everyone loves their characters and no one is ABOUT to permakill their work until it has achieved its purpose (...whatever that means. Don't ask, it's a direct quote.)
Half of you have probably read the above and are posting, "This has nothing to do with the topic, STFU." You're probably right. Trying to be philosophic about things while inebriated's never a good choice.
REGARDLESS, all you RPers out there need to STOP. WORRYING. ABOUT IT. Look at the forums Star Vault's set up. They obviously have some RP plans in mind. With their vision of an MMO I don't think they're about to let someone name themself "xXSephiroth7Xx." They seem to have the intention of investing a good deal of time in the lore of their game, and any team that does such a thing will care for its RP community. As they've said, they are an independent company so they can do what they want to do, which includes running things the way they should be run.
I don't know where I was going with this, but it was fun. I'll sum it up with saying HAVE A LITTLE FAITH!
Peace
