Alright. Some good points have been made. Yes, it's true that RHA seems to be a bit inactive, and we have [BU] just about to get itself official (hopefully). So yes, I suppose we should try to stabilize them. But that doesn't mean people can't make characters that are members of other pirate groups. I mean, not necessarily factions, but even individual pirates. And yes, Bretonia needs work too. But still, aside from that huge multi-battle day last week (which was awesome), I've seen only a few independent pirates when my RM's on. Not much else other than traders doing the niobium-diamond run, and the occasional passerby. That's about it. I may just live in the wrong timezone for it, but there doesn't seem to be absolutely tons of activity. Even then, it's just in NB usually (with the exception of the BU, who base in Frankfurt).
That's what I was hoping for when I made this topic: that it will spark some interest in the Rheinland pirates. As long as there is more decent activity, Rheinland is going to be fun and quite possibly more entertaining than Liberty due to great factions and great players.
