I'm undecided about this idea, mainly because I'm beginning to view the marauder faction as a failed experiment. A lot of good players have tried being a Mara, found that it sucks, and now barely play at all. The entire concept of playing as a villain doesn't seem to work on Atys because our best feature is the community. And if we don't treat maras as the villains that they chose to be, then the whole thing is a joke, just go back to being Kara or kami or stateless!
So, while I do think that the players that are maras should have equal access to Atys, I'm not sure that investing in a faction that is costing Ryzom more players than it could ever possibly attract is worthwhile.
