Normally we don't participate in discussions however considering this is a reply from a senior member of the dev team, we have to correct the record...
The Lane Hackers is not a revolutionary faction. It is a pirate faction.
Lane Hacker activities are far different than Harmony's. For example, Harmony main activity is to fight LN, while we usually try to avoid law enforcement.
=[R]= we wish you the best. We are looking forward to interacting with you in-game and having fun.
At no point did I claim the Lane Hackers were a revolutionary faction. Your outward appearance in roleplay is that of politically motivated, anti-corporate pirates. Regardless of the degree of sincerity behind those motivations, you are essentially sending the same message that these guys are, or rather vice versa considering your seniority. You can split hairs as much as you'd like, but at the very least, publicly, all three factions are sending the same message, even if their MO differs. In the case of yourselves and this new Rogue faction, the two frankly seem very similar, far moreso than the comparison I drew with Harmony which was strictly an ideological one.
