The LR are active enough, the rp is variable and solid, people are nice and we got Ashes. What else would you want?
As a rogue you can do all sorts or rp types from a person who simply struggles to survive to a blood thirsty terrorist allmost. Since the npc faction is at best loose organisation of homeless people and criminals it provides enough chances of all kinds.
The factions we meet are good as well, the LN, LSF, LPI, XA, occasional BHG, and a flopton of indies. It all boils down which part you wish to take as we have such an elastic rp setting you simply do not get bored.
