I was wondering, with the application of the Reaver Mercenary company to become official, does that mean groups like the Mandalorians can never become official?
If it's down to the ID, does that mean that by asking for their own ID and assuming it's granted, that this is avoided?
In other words, if the Reavers become official without a specific ID (and I'm still not convinced about the need but open to a clearer explanation), does that mean they are the only Mercenary group allowed?
I am using the Reavers as an easy example but the same would apply for any other group that applies with a general ID like 'Pirate' or 'Freelancer' etc. The ID would be 'taken' and therefore, would it cease to be able to be used by anyone else?
In case you are wondering, I am happy to allow multiple groups on these ID's and have no problem with current applications (with the possibility of an individual ID) but I am just wondering in the case of such a group as the Mandalorians etc.
THIS IS BY NO MEANS MEANT AS SOME FLAME THREAD FOR ANYONE OR GROUP, OFFICIAL OR OTHERWISE.
Universal ID's are specifically exempted from the "one ID, one Faction" rule.
Please take the time to read the actual ruling in the future before getting all worried.
' Wrote:Effectively immediately, applications to become an official faction will be limited to one player faction per NPC faction and thus there will be only one official player faction per ID.
Official player factions must act in a manner that complies with the NPC faction.
Other player factions applying for official status may use a generic ID.
This applies to all new applications.
Existing player factions are not affected by this change.
....... Is there a limit to the number of generic ID'd factions?
No. There is no limit to the number of factions using generic ID's.
At present, I believe there is only one official faction using a generic ID on the server (the Mandalorians).
.............. This really ruins my plans.
Talk to us. Things will be looked at on a case by case basis - We don't have a situation at the moment where this ruling is going to foreseeably destroy someone's creativity or hamper their ability to play or Role Play, so.. lets see how it works out.
