I have a thought about the name thing.
It is, actually, somewhat realistic to see someone\'s name floating above their head, even if you\'ve never met them. It is a substitute for a recognizeable facial feature. That way If you see someone you\'ve met before, but whos name you don\'t know, you can ask something like, \"Excuse me, have we met somewhere before?\" The player sees the name so that the character sees the face. Now ideally the character should not know the name without being told, I do agree with this. However, it is easy to forget, as I have done quite a few times, and should not be reprimanded too heavily.
And you don\'t have to get in with the \"Uber\" RPers to have RP fun in this game. Some of the most fun I\'ve had is simply playing the role of my character around others doing the same. Merely conversing, usually. And yes, someone walking up to your group and talking OOC can have a negative effect on the experience. But it is important to be nice to them regardless, because not everyone gets this at first.
This thread got too long for me to remember all of, even after having read it diligently. sorry If I repeated anyone else\'s thoughs unecessarily.
