Friend endlessly stalked and harassed by another player on many characters

If the OP can't answer this question, why does he/she come to the forum and post it here? A stalker doesn't come around the corner and think "Hell YES, that little Lala with the B2 boots is my next target".

This is literally exampled behavior of a stalker. LOL

In 98% of cases, something has already happened that has led to this stalking. And in most cases, the perpetrator and the victim know each other.
Unless you're a celebrity, there are a lot of sick people around the corner for a lot of different reasons. But I'm assuming that this isn't the case here.

Doesn't really matter what did or did not happen leading up to stalking occurring, it is unacceptable behavior by any measure of the yardstick.

I think that a lot of people use the word "stalker" even though there is no stalking going on. As a misinterpretation.
The best example is someone we all know, Zenos. How many people here in the forums have claimed that he is a stalker and that they've had enough of him?
He's just an NPC and he's never shown up at my door or followed me to stalk me. <sad face>

People may overuse the word, but frankly it is not for you or anyone to decide whether it constitutes stalking, if the behavior is significant enough as to warrant someone considering moving servers and changing names, then the issue is clearly significant enough.

Zenos actually is a stalker, now he is an NPC so obviously it doesn't really matter, but he absolutely does exhibit stalker behavior.

But beeing a Stalker and have only exhibit Stalker behavior are 2 different shoes.
