There's something wrong with the Tagging system...

[TwilightInfinyte]

Multiple times now I have been shot upon by various pirates or whoever feels like shooting something, simply because my Tag is against their faction.

Wrong.

I'm a Trader, and I've checked multiple times in my Alignment chart; I have no tag.

Yet I have been accused of having anything from a GC tag, to a Dragons tag, to who knows what else. And I have verified this, I have two brothers playing this game in the same house, and when they say I have a Tag I check. Usually when I go to check out their computer screens, only one of them will show the Tag, while the other will just show my usual name with no tag.

I've also lost a few Mil because of this error, I was flying my usual trade route when some pirate came and demanded I drop my cargo or pay a 2Mil fine for having a Dragons Tag, and trading with a planet that was against the Dragons.

I played along, not really knowing what the heck was going on, but then after I had lost my 2Mil and ran all the way back to where I started to take a different route, I started talking to the Pirate in Private about the situation. He said it was probably a Glitch so I relogged, but still the same effect, so He relogged. Bingo. The Tag was gone, as it should have been.

Only now he decided that he'd have to continue the RP taking the fix into consideration, so I got Taxed 2Mil to pass through on my usual trade route.

Taking all of this into perspective, either some sort of patch needs to be released that checks and double-checks peoples Tags in-game, or Tags need to be either removed or simply ignored in RP play. Especially because as it is now, you could even have two people from the same group looking at a person, one starts attacking the person and the other's wondering why the heck they're doing it!

At least with ID's this sort of major RP breaking mix-up cannot occur.

What's your stand on this?
