Indies; why do we need them/what is good about them?

[Zelot]

Being an faction is fine in my opinion, as long as you stay in bounds of your RP and have a decent knowledge of English.

Also: faction =/= Lolwut

I love when I can do that. Seriously, this whole discussion as well as the comment I edited above rely on one basic idea that I find to be completely false, that inherently independent players are somehow less than. Jinx sums it up pretty well early in the thread, there are both good and bad aspects of both independent and factional roleplay. Both bring important things to the server and the community and one without the other would kill the server.

Someone should make one of those ying and yang symbols that Deiter has for PVP and RP with Faction and Independent on it. About the same in my eyes.
