I'm not too sure I understand what you mean.  There is already a faction system in PlaneShift that is like the old DnD alignments but expanded.

Yes the faction reads 110 good, 55 evil, 35 chaos, 85 law..... all which means totalled Neutral..... one can not choose  path unless they roleplay it... there should be a set scripture in the path you choose as there is in getting into the winch... so should the path of the quests and factions

I don’t generally post on forums but a few friends suggested I do so and say what I think...  There are many reasons why people play Planeshift..

1. roleplay: which is the way it should be
2. Powerleveling: which should be used to back up your roleplay
3. Socializing: Used by all to speak OOC or IC

each person has their own experience as Waoknie stated earlier.. It all depends on what the player wants to do.. There are many options in the game and many guilds to help enhance the options.

1. evil
2. good
3.nuetral

then there is many ways to play these factions such as..

1. roguish ways
2. lawful ways
3. healers
4. hunters
5. guides
6. information gatherers
7. secret and hidden guilds inside other guilds
8. hermits
9. fighters
10. etc etc etc etc

With all these options we can create a playing field that works well.. Yes many options have limits as to what degree one can travel in roleplay.. One thing I found to work rather well.. is find a new person and introduce roleplay to them at a very young stage in planeshift.. drawing someone into a roleplay situation usually brings them back wanting more and more..

a few suggestions would be a post of guilds and what they have to offer.. that would help many find a home and a place to fit in.. forcing roleplay is not a good idea.. it will only make the non-compliant fight more against it.. I find that introducing roleplay in guild chat, everyplace your character decides to stop, and thru your actions makes people look..

I once played a rogue in the Outlaws.. many know me.. many hate me.. flame me if you wish.. So many take actions of roleplay as OOC acts against them.. just because I played a evil character doesn’t mean I am evil nor do I act like it in real life.. I played my character as a rogue would in the planeshift world.. you take the OOC out and you’ll have a much happier environment.. If you don’t like my roleplay just walk away.. simple enough..

The power of the old ways still flows thru my veins.. Thanks brother Waoknie for keeping it alive as well

I am me, JUST ME
