Why I don't like Faction Tags

[Fellow Hoodlum]

Onca ... You are one of the people that does actually understand and RP ... Sorry if its
come over as cliquey, wouldn't have been my choice of thread title, I assure you ...
Its just the complete lack of alot of the new members willingness to read, or be bothered
to read what this server is all about.
In fact I would be quite happy if no one else bothered to do it at all. Because there is
going to be a rush for everyone to tag now without thinking why they want to do it ...
As Angel has stated elsewhere, this tagging is for RP purposes only ... Not to look cool
My fighter in the [GoR] payed for its own tag over a period of time, and my trader,
which gets RPed too, whatever run I'm doing, had nothing to do with it ...
I wish a few more people thought like you, The only reason these factions work, or don't,
is the people involved with them ... Not the factions themselves. You can have the best
ideas in the world for a faction, but if the people involved are not prepared to put the
effort in, they will not work, as I think you are already finding out.
It was our choice to get the tags for this, infact most of us have had them for quite a while
now, and we were actually working towards doing this anyway.
What I don't want to see is everyone doing it because it can be done, and for no other reason
than that. Especially with the Outcasts now ... Who up till recently, most people had no
interest in whatsoever.
I'll state again ... The factions work because of the people, not the factions themselves.
Its wrong to think if you have a popular faction that works, it will continue to work if
its opened up to everyone.
Sorry if we came over as cliquey, never my intention ... Just five very like minded people
with a serious interest in the Outcast story and a willingness to take it alot further.
The only disapponting thing is the lack of people who come up red in my hud ... Unless
they are NPCs ... Special mention for Lancer here, who's SF trader is an enemy of all
my active chars, and only the second red PC I've seen in eight months of playing here.
Thats a lack of RP ... If I played security chars I would tag them too ...
Sorry its a bit of a ramble, very early, or late here, depending on your perspective.
Look forward to reading everyone elses comments ... Coffee now, again.
