The reason is that too many are not able to speak English so well and fight instead of just writing a few short sentences to doing RP.
I myself am also not a good English speaking guy. Many also do not sit apart with the history of the game and its Factions and their Realtionship between each other, cauz of the bad englisch.
What I'm saying here is, that the players then fighten rather than talk and thus just more good fighters on the move as RP-Player.
[font=Century Gothic]On a serious'd note, you all are aware that this is a shooting game, right?
[color=#FFCCFF]Right?
No?
[font=Fixedsys]FREELANCER [color=#99FF99]is a shooting game.
P.S.:The faction doesn't matter jack.
If a so-called 'PvP-whore' wants to kill, he or she will always find a place to kill.
Once he or she killed, he or she will go to a new spot, on a different ship, to kill some more maybe.
And then he or she will repeat that and kill even more again and again and again and again and again until everything burns, so to say.
Faction doesn't make any difference.
You want to fight, you'll find a way.
There's no abused faction. Anyone is equally suited to killing.
You can murder people as a Zoner if you're creative even.
Doesn't make any difference whether you kill as a Xeno, as an Outcast, as a Corsair, as a Navyman, as a State Police Officer, just doesn't.
As long as you fight, you fight, and if you are at the point already where the odds don't matter, where nothing but fighting itself matters and you still have fun fighting...
Well, you'll simply have fun fighting, no matter what ID you have, what ID your opponents have, what ship you fly, what gear you use.
