Janurary, Feburary, March. Closed in Jan. They said check back in a couple of months. Guess what March is? Yep. Coulpe of months. If you're seriously interested, PM one of the leaders. Doesn't hurt to nudge them regarding that annoucement though.
Friday, friday...
I was merely pointing out that obstacles such as closed recruitment are enough to discourage even the not-so-lazy people from trying to join.
I have no desire to join the Nomad faction, I speak as a player who would like to see more of them and expect to be shot at.
As for ganking issue the same applies for any faction that focus on PvP which is like most of them (I joined the GMS for PvP too). I don't think this would cause any more grief then Hessians, Outcasts, BAF and others.
The open Nomad ID wouldn't need to be necessarily a full terrorist one either.
