At least. Nc forum discussions in the recent months, mainly in brainport, pointed to at least two different Neocrons, existing in parallel. And causing problems in the overlapping areas.
There is one large group within the NC-Player-population who want to cap as fast as possible, and compete in PvP. A second group of comparable size want to play the game. In all its details. Explore it, get items, have professions (i.e. make 5-slotters), hunt mobs, design apartments, play roles, do PvP. To this second main group PvP also exists, but not in the center of the game. Of course we're getting into problems whenever those two groups talk or play together.
We don't instantly assume all others are stupid, but we're having difficulties with someone of a totally different opinion on a somehow important subject. Faction One "PvP is the main part of neocron" want all players taking part in one big screen-sports-event, "and please simplify the rest of the game." Faction Two "PvP is just a small part of neocron" want to pursue different ingame-interests without feeling molested by PvP, "and please don' simplify the game, give us even more options and complexity." Right now on Titan nearly all Non-LEds are members of Faction One ("PvP-uber-alles") while LEds are in Faction Two ("PvP-inter-pares").
One way to change the situation would be putting up a new server on stricler PvP-rules (i.e. PvP only between clans after an official game-mechanics declaration of war), so Titan could be a "PvP-only-server". Not today, maybe in the future, when more and more people play "the best MMO there is" (tm).
- Question to the PvP-faction: Would you want Titan as a PvP-server, without high-level Leds, some time in the future?
- Question to the PvP-and everything-else-faction: Would you want a new server on stricter PvP-rules, embedded into the RP-context, some time in the future?
- Question to everyone outside of either faction (Three): What would you rather do?
On answering, please try to identify yourself as Faction One (more PvP), Two (more everything), or Three (can't decide/other).
