Does Disco still have enough player base to keep running all factions ?

[SnakThree]

It definitely has.

Only one thing - factions must have player limit.

4.4 Administrators reserve the right to limit recruiting for certain official player factions for a certain period of time to keep server factions balanced.

Currently I don't see this as an issue,
nor did I ever see it enforced even back when it was a issue.

Can't be enforced unless a official roster is to be submitted by each faction

Nor do I. I just referenced how it can already be enforced by current ruleset.

I don't understand what you mean,
please explain.

Also:

What can be said about some official factions is that they do not spend enough time ingame to guide and help their indies , something that I also consider a responsibility.
No wonder that indies gang up and try to gain recognition by systematically disagreeing with their official representatives, what have the officials ever done for them (in their eyes) I can totally understand this.
How do we fix this loss/lack of trust in us?

Any ideas people?

Your Jedi Balancing powers are no match for the power of the Metagaming Factionlancers.

Metagaming murders smaller player based factions. Small player based factions have no hope against Factionlancers.

The main players leave and the new players either don't want or don't know how to Roleplay. New players turn to the idea that battleship can solve all problems.

5 Players against 30 players spread out in 3 factions equals no chance in hell.

I only looked at the first post to try to stay on target but IMG like Samura hit a player base chord. IMG became the focal point for the new gallic story and they are the -Independent- Miners guild. Its as close to being independent with benifits as it gets. They also interact with pretty much every house daily. Samura makes money. They are attractive, have a -quiet- house that doesnt go out of its way to rage everyone, have good relations with bad factions. Did I mention it's Samura?

These two factions play to the main drive of Freelancer. New faction or smaller factions require players to interact more and Roleplay more. Perhaps no one likes starting over or can't roleplay past blowing someone up. These two have done their RP part and mearly have to continue a process that is tried and true for -them-.

Sometimes, when all you want is to gain your freedom, you must be willing to risk it all.

This. A faction could have 300 players in it. But really. How would admins know. Most faction leaders have no idea how many players are in their faction. As Official group every player/char should be listed somewhere. Yeah i know more work, but you want the faction, you work for it as many have said in past.

But the possible griefing would be over the top.

You do realise there is a convenient public, open-access tool called the "activity tracker"? It's a neat little thing. It lets you see every single ship within the faction, as well as how much activity it has logged within a month. No need for massive, easily outdated and messy faction super-rosters.

Also, someone asked earlier what the advantage of joining BMM- is when you could be an indy. Simple. Only official BMM can mine for King's Cross. No other stations are currently purchasing gold ore en-masse, seeing as WMF is currently in hibernation.
