WTH came up with this idea?

Wow, settle down! Unless you're on the Dev team (God forbid) then I doubt you have a clue what they have planned.

Give the Devs a chance and at least wait until you see what's coming before whining Jayce, erm sorry, I meant Lala.

At a recent Taliari meeting the idea of having a Tryker Militia tag or a similar device to allow players to defend their capitol from attacks simliar to Sweetmaries led Kami taking of Fairhaven was broached. Many felt that Tryker is tolerant of all religions and such an attack was counter to the values of our nation. Perhaps this is what the devs are working toward.*crosses fingers*

The bit about offering players the "possibility" seems to me a clear signal it will be an optional addition. I read this as more of a return of the ideals of the original and more dynamic fame system, and more importantly the optimist in me reads this announcement as stateing that the Saga storyline has been settled and is ready to green light.

(I think my Ryzom optimist is batting around a .01 on avg)

More Pvp opt-in tags sounds ok. The Kami taking Fairhaven w/ pvp may have not been the most popular political move, but currently its the only non-official way to get player choices to be noticed. I'd consider raising my fame to do Trytonist faction things, if it became a real option.

More flexibility in who you fight for and what, sounds like a very welcome change. I just hope it doesn't set feet in concrete, Kami-Tryker, Kara-Tryker, and Neutral-Tryker fighting for their homeland alongside the Trytonists sounds fun.

[blaah]

as long as it has no consequences for those who choose not to take part (like loosing access to teleporters, respawn points, etc.)...

currently being cult factioned or civ factioned have no meaning other than some bit state in char save file.

if you join a faction you do take part. game fails to make this point clear to players. hopefully this will be the fix.
