The idea of using TEMPLATES (not a batch-routine) is pretty old and has already been discussed here a lot.
Nomatter how usefull and sensefull the use of templates might be, as it does not only make things easier, and would solve that permanent "ref-fix - issue" the adminteam doesn't seem to like this idea.
[color=#CC9933]They want the players to work for their desired rep, period!
On my old server, which was also an RP related server, we only made the best experiences with the use of templates, as everyone could start with the desired faction and faction relating basic equipment and participate in RP from the start on - no mess with faulty IFF, and of course noone needed an ID.
As it was very, very hard to improve the rep with another faction but very easy to lose rep (except the faction you started with), a char once created
usually never had the prob with switching IFF, the decission (affiliation) you made at the start usually never changed. At least not as long as you
played your role well, if you messed it up on purpose it could turn out that there was no more neutrals or friendlies left - which was the perma
death of that chars as it was no more playable.
So everything that was green was friendly and everything that appeared red was hostile pretty clear thing - but over here the idea is just not wanted.
So it doesn't make too much sense to start this senseless discussion again.
