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

[Hone]

Reading this bothered me in comparison to my own experience starting out. I had more people willing to help me learn as a noob than I could keep up with. Yeah, I know. Different era & all that, but it's still just as easy today to break character here & there to lend some helpful advice to a noob that asks for it as it was years ago. The only thing that's really changed is a larger number of regulars that don't give a wet fart about 'em. If I had a similar experience like Urs describes, I'd have said 'eff this place!' after a week or so & would have never come back.

While joining a faction can be a fast track to getting to know people & learning the server ropes, being in a faction is far less important than just exuding a basic helpful attitude when it's called for, no matter what banner you fly under.

I don't really pine for the 'good ol days' more than I simply pity the regression of general attitude from then to now.

This troubles me too. When I started no one "Helped me" In that No-one told me oorp all the commands and background details, or gave me money for no reason (Indeed I didnt want them to!) But I WAS lucky enough to meet a bunch of people early on, who involved me INRP in what they were doing, and really helped me get started, even if I was too ignorant to realise it, and flew off to do my own own thing as soon as I had some decent cash (Which was fun too!).

Seeing as a lot of my playtime seems to be spent blowing up idiots who dont know what they're doing (either because they're noobs, or foreigners who cant speak english well, and dont understand what to do) I fell like maybe I'm not behaving well, and paying back what i got when I was starting out. But the thing is, i always try to help out people when they ASK.

And that's the thing, its got to be a two way street, all these "idiots" I blow up dont ASK for help, and thats why they dont get it, I bet if these noobs you say people; "dont give a wet fart about" spoke up polietly more often, many more people would care about them.
