Good RP background
RP-capable (non-noob) members
Many members
Active
Many possibilites (trade/fight etc)
Eh, disregarding newer players as 'noobs'.
Weren't we all noobs once? I can quite clearly remember my 'lolwut' days spent in a Merc ID'd, BHG tagged Gladiator :cool:
Anyway, I don't mind newbies in the faction one bit. I think they actually add something to the faction... As long as they're, well... Sane.
Speaking of sane, I like people not seeing RP and the combat aspect of it (har har) as two incompatible things. Which may bring a lot of bad blood into the faction (yes, I prefer combat-oriented factions:P)
