IF anyone rped in WoW they'd know what i mean, the rp there died drastically once people started running around making stories that had nothing to do with anything given in the warcraft storyline. People being half Elf half water serpent and transforming between the two, or more powerful then the games given main source of evil at the time Illidian. That stuff killed it, even with a well thought up backstory, give me ANY idea and ill give you a good backstory within an hour. Could someone say "but their story added more possibilities for RP"? Yes. Did it cut down the scale of rp by creating SO many side factions and non-story related characters? Yes. In the long run did rp turn into something where no faction had a recognizable player size or powerful faction, even for a game like WoW with the highest active account base at the moment...Yes.

For being a private server with the admins and mod gods talking to the players regularly, the game story could go the way the players drive it better than any other game ive rped in i believe. However the players dont drive the story that gives me a sad face =[ <<<see. The LNS is basically the same deal as the LPI, just two different faction names that seperate the player base slightly more, the corsairs and outcasts have a ton of inside factions between the two. If a single player was the head of each major house faction, and there were no side player made groups, their would be highly seen strength of each faction, and the personality and goals of that faction wouldnt be so hard to understand. Okay here is an example of what i mean.

Say Rheinland and Liberty were each propelled by a single person as their "president" basically. Those two could work out within reason RP events that would further the story of their House factions, and have the player base to make it large scale + recognized throughout their entire faction that the story has moved in a certain direction, I.E Libert forces just fortified themself outside the Hamburg Jumpgate, have an RP event with balanced forces of Rheinland trying to push them back through the Jump Gate. Say rheinland fails so Liberty pushes forward to Hamburg. Of course keep it within reason we cant have Rheinland wiped out within a week. Or say Liberty Fails and Rheinland decides to move on through Bering and the Texas Jump Gate, or maybe after substaining heavy loses they call a cease fire, who knows. But just say Hamburg was taken by Liberty, in the next update the mods could make Hamburg be under Liberty Control.

That is just an EXAMPLE, im not saying they should go to war, its an example of how the story itself could be driven forward by the players, and the face of the map changed accordingly by the mods who would respect the direction of the rp within reason. I actually believe the admins and mods would go with this as it would take work of admins, since players themself would probably be reprimanded heavily by their own faction if they were playing outside the rules.

The game is no doubt fun currently, i just think it could improve if we saturated factions rather then split them up into inside mini factions within a faction, with more probably in thought or coming monthly.

For how big it is thats my 25cents i guess lol.
