Player factions

Hello,

Is it ok to have two characters in one Player faction?

Thank you, alogen

It is generally frowned upon. Metagaming issues inevitably occur and the rhetorical question arises: What is the need to play two separate characters in the same faction?

Even if you are confident you won't metagame anything and have good answers to that question, I would encourage you to stick to one character and devote time to developing that story. If you or something else ends that story and you feel it is absolutely necessary to do the same thing again, go for it, but don't pass up the oppertunity to try something new.

(you also don't need to sign your posts, we know who you are! :P)

Hmmm, Would it be ok if one of them will be at "Stand by" regarding that faction?

That is better than actively switching between two, but things like, "Hold on, I'll just log out CHARACTER_X and log in CHARACTER_Y," are not good.
