Disabling Name Change Announcements?
So, in the course of RPing (particularly on Galaxy), a lot of people change their names to those of a different character - a pseudonym for a non-Jedi PC, and so on. However, these changes are all announced at the top of our screens with each one performed.
Would it be possible to remove this? That way such things could be done with some anonymity, so nobody would necessarily know who was changing their names and to what, to preserve some of the integrity of the RP.
Just a thought.

Technically we're supposed to include our JEDI character names in parenthesis whenever we play a minor character, or a character in a mission.
I believe the thought behind this was to allow for things to be more succinct in terms of communication and whatnot.
While that may be good for missions, I find the use of parenthetical naming for minor characters somewhat stifling, as then most folks have a preconception of how they will interact with you.

I agree with both suggestions. There's no need to have either parentheses with our real character names (in most scenarios) or display name changes in-game, though the former doesn't require any changes to RPmod.

I am totally for this. Sometimes people may wish to change names without it being announced in the aim of achieving a dramatic effect. Seeing the name change in advance kind of spoils it.
I also heartily concur with Alkur. People raise and lower their boundaries based on who they know is Role Playing specific characters.

For being a second character: Disconnect, change your name in the menu /reconnect. You've changed your name without anyone knowing. And upon reconnecting, you will load the map faster to. /shrug
That one however, I can't argue with. If you don't want to leave game and you want to do it on the spot for dramatic effect of revealing you're in fact someone else w/e then yeah I guess I support this change if it were to be implemented.I am totally for this.

I could also point out that for things like promotions, while there is some dramatic effect to seeing the name change in the corner, eliminating it might be better for RP because we won't be as inclined to go seek that person out nor distracted by the event...(at least not without at least putting together the effort to peek at the console).

I'm quite sure that a toggle-able cvar could be made to turn off the announcements. That much I'm a fan of. I'm also down with dropping the requirement of secondary characters keeping their real name in parentheses. However, the (NAME)'s are important in missions, as it makes organization and instruction-giving much easier.
