Roleplay ?

[Linkus]

Unbalanced weapons.
Server rules restricting use of said weapons.
Lots of newbies.
Outcasts and Corsairs will become omg big if they are the only ones using those weapons, purely because they are so good.

If you want to restrict the weapons, restrict the ZoI's more, or membership numbers. So the RHA don't get trounced by the Corsairs every time they meet etc.

You could just ban the use of those weapons totally. You would still have the Code weapons and Nomad guns, plus the various Class 9's (And the Goddess' class 10).
No Supernova Cannons, No Cids, No Razors.
Until the other factions have a suitable replacement of course.

OR you could apply the Xeno theory to all factions. They are poor and so they do not get much. Yet many people STILL join them. I think that shows quite a lot of dedication to roleplay.
Applying it to all factions would mean player factions come into line with their respective NPC faction far more. Essentially restricting the weapons to what you strictly should have.
You would have overpopulation problems though. People who care more about winning than roleplay (Which is fair. The objective in most games is to win after all. Though I prefer roleplay personally.) and new people who simply want their UBAR weapons etc, would flock to certain factions such as the Corsairs, Outcasts and The Order.
