Now that the RoS aren't official anymore

[Potter Harry]

I liked seeing RoS Sabres destroy every Corsair in Gamma a long time ago, no matter their size. However, this RoS died a while back, as in my eyes it turned into a faction that only existed as a status symbol for its leader, and was only used as a toy for said person which he simply shared for use.

Not calling names, but it's pretty obvious, after all.

That said, seeing it go at its current state is for the best. Old RoS will be missed, new RoS not even a little bit.

The server has always been about RP justified PvP. And it always had people who glorified RP to the point where, if you didn't write for an hour with someone else on the server you didn't RP. This "RP used to be better/worse" kind of stuff belongs in the same category as "disco is dying" doom calling. The truth, even though some people refuse to admit it, is that without PvP this server and game would be dead, and that 99% of all RP is about war, power struggles and resulting PvP.

Quoted for accurate fact, and because the bolded part is something most people tend to forget. Combat, violence and shooting is nothing short of perfect, realistic roleplay between two hostile factions. Talking does not equal to the level of roleplay. In fact, I'd say talking too much to something which under normal circumstances should be shooting you would start bordering on bad, unrealistic roleplay.

Bottom line is that PvP is the backbone of both Vanilla Freelancer and Discovery Freelancer .
