quite some answers yet, some more, some less well thought:P
I agree that the "old" still in use system is not bad, at last not to the players
that already got used to it and visit the forums regular.
The intention for my suggestion was (is) that there came up many many problems
with in particular new players, maybe it's true that a lot of them came over from the
VOID (still asking myself why they came over if just looking for PVP).
And of course that it simply works, no confusion about a players color or ID, the
name tells it all on first sight.
Another problem, at least to me is (and as I know also to some others), that the
npc allignment does change, sometimes even without any explainable reason.
Look atm me, I worked a lot on changing my Junker allignment to Lane Hacker,
I shot over 1000 npc's do make it match my new LH ID.
(I'm going to be a HF member - if some admin will find the time to do my namechange.)
After a while I was very surprised to notice that I'm still full green with LH but
now was tagged LWB (?), how did it come ?! No clue, I never shot a LH, and till
that point I believed that was the only way to break the alligment.
Whatever, if the old system will be left alone as it is, there are further problems to
be expected, cause you will always have many (new) players that just don't care
about the forums/rules.
Another, very hard way to get this community back to a good RP might be to lock the
server and make it password accessable only.
It won't secure that only RP interested players join, but it certainly would keep off many
of those hardcore PVPers that are just looking for trouble.
How ever, I like this server, I like this community and I will keep on trying to get also new
players into RP, and make em understand how things work, I just hope you other "Oldies" do
the same thing and show comprehension when a new player runs into you.
Always make up your mind and think of the time when you started here and probably felt a bit lost,
some words of explanation just take a few minutes and respect if someones says "leave me alone".
