Thank you for the kind words, and for the honesty. Frankly, it all boils down to the time and effort invested into this faction (and its previous iterations) throughout the years. After a while, you just fall in love with the characters you're playing, and the story you're trying to tell, that just quitting isn't an option that's out there. I think you might sympathize with that, seeing how NO- is back again; A faction I, and presumably many others, recall very well from several years ago.
We have to keep going to the direction we've chosen, as overhauling the faction and its many year long presence on the server isn't an option. Can't go back after the point of no return was crossed.
There are other factions that play a more Outcast-purist angle, now represented by the NC and the Amalfi Directorate, a playebase that is more or less alive and well, and from my point of view - not in any way undermined by us.
