Sending Mail between Fractions

Recommended Posts

you know, one of the things that I really miss about Anarchy Online is the ability to interact with the opposing faction in ways other then just killing them.

 

You could interact with anyone in UO. Origin got sued when a group of player killers killed a young lady then spent several minutes emoting the various vile things they were doing to her corpse.

 

Other than the obvious drawbacks of the people who hate you being able to talk to you, regular mail service between the Republic and Empire is what an old game designer friend of mine would call "fiction breaking nonsense".

I'm not saying we need to be able to mail between factions, but in AO you could team up with the other side to still accomplish things. Was nice and made things more realistic.

What's unrealistic about two mortally opposed factions each marking the other "kill on sight?" I haven't seen many sailors and pirates getting together to help save a dolphin caught in a tuna net recently. Have you?

i do not see it happening for along time if ever. the main reason is empire and republic are not really on good terms with each toher, woudl you want tot ake a package form teh side that wants to kill you ? ever hear of mail bombs? lol

 

That's the issue. I know it's convenient from a game perspective but it makes no sense within the context of the story. Same thing with WoW.
