Ahem... I think we're getting a little

A rebellion needs two things. A cause and people to follow it. You don't overthrow a government just because.
Agreed, you need a well thought out, logical* reason for people to rally around, as well as a base of players willing to support you.
*something being logical is very relative, what seems logical to you may seems completely ludicrous to me
Perhaps, as I suggested elsewhere, you could play up the merchant house aspect, at the moment you can get faction points for merchants but not for say Mikana Trading Company. If you build these companies up the players could associate with one or another and rivalries would be started.I like this idea. It'd give mercenary characters more options as well. And other combat oriented characters as well I guess.
You would have to have a limited access area so goodie goodies could not just wander in and spoil your day.As for this. Well I suppose, given a few people mature enough to rp this way, Most good, meaning archtypical heroic, characters probably wouldn't know the whereabouts of a black market. A good character might wander in but would either have the brains to keep his trap shut about who he was or he'd get beaten up/ killed. Most likley. I'd been thinking maybe choose a few locations then kinda float between them. This way it would potentially avoid devolving into a brawl instead of a black market. Although brawls can be fun too
I like the idea. Some things should have to be worked out before, though.
- How will stolen items be marked?
- What will happen if someone is discovered?
- Who will be the 'police'?
Those are just some...
