dropping Faction Tags

[Tenacity]

Outside of the admin-approved factions, all of which are quite small and keep active rosters on their own websites, or have active skype chat, the official factions on this server should keep their tags for any of the main characters operating in that faction.

Phantoms and Wilde (both rheinland and kusari wilde) have much reason to remove their tags, and they're small enough groups that they dont really need the tags to keep organized or track activity. Their tags were removed with good reason.

Keepers are split on the issue - on the one hand, some of us want the anonymity that comes with not having the faction tag as part of our character names. It lets us venture out without being hassled by the pvpwhores looking to gank and get a cheap kill, it leads to more RP and less pvp in most cases. However, at the same time, I've found it very hard to organize the lot of us when we're online and half of the characters dont have the faction tag. I'm an avid user of /fi (faction invite) to get everyone into a single group very quickly, and it doesnt work without the tag.

I'm not sure if we'll choose to keep the tag or drop it, but both ways have advantages and disadvantages.

All other factions should be keeping their tags in the name, it's the only thing that keeps you seperate from the independents (In the case of the phantoms/keepers/wilde, there are no independents, and there is only one faction for each group, so this is not a concern).
