8. "Roleplaying" does not grant license to violate these rules.

Though Star Wars Galaxies is a roleplaying game set in the Star Wars universe, the claim of "roleplay" will not be accepted in defense of any of the anti-social behaviors mentioned above. As an example, you are in no case (PvP or otherwise) allowed to "train" a guard onto an enemy in protection of your homeland.

By all means we want to encourage you to play your role, we just cannot allow that role-play to be done at another customer's expense. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________

So what about Bounty Hunters that in the name of "roleplaying" kills their own faction members, use Gtef to kill a mark also if they fail mission and such?

Btw...is not xp loss a costumer expense thing? lol they are contradictory!!

Just a question, not a whine (i'm a Bh Myself and i'm curiuos)

It's more of just a rule to say 'claims of role playing isn't a justification to be ana-hole and grief others'.

It makes sense too. I've run into a number of people who actually believe that acting like a complete douche is justified because 'they are roleplaying a jerk'.

There's a differance between roleplaying someone evil, and acting like a jerk because you think it's funny to piss others off. Claiming you're doing the former to get away with the latter shouldn't work, and that's what this rule is for.
