I don't pretend to explain why it's a failure, I just state the facts. There is RHA or FA onlines, but no QCP.
Another fact : the players here don't want to play a privateer either but something else. Additionally, neither the IFF nor the ID (freelancer and pirate) are related to Bretonia and we do not claim to have our own ID, where RHA and FA IDs are deeply related to their House background. In our case, the relationship to Bretonia is only RP wise.
Long story short, this is an Indie Pirate Faction whose RP is Bretonia based. What's wrong with that ?
