But when PS2 hits, you're either with us, or you're against us.

Yea, I'd be willing to bet that said different faction alts *on the same server* wouldn't happen immediately. However with how they have it setup it can't happen period.

Another point that I missed in my post is lots of us have rivalries or are friends with people from the other faction. Along with my outfit mates when we'd want to mess around with things that our mains couldn't always use, we would also play with people that we couldn't always play with. I have a bunch of friends in the TR Outfit Unleashed, do I like killing them? Yes, my main is NC and they know that. Did I occasionally hop on my TR and play with them as well? Yes, while it didn't happen often because my main is NC (yes I'm going to repeat that) it did still happen.

I played within the first year, you were limited to 2 factions.
