I am all for such guilds, and consider the mandatory faction-based restrictions on membership to break any sense of immersion Ryzom has by bringing the reality I play games to escape from into Ryzom. Now, I know that there are plenty of folks out there that need a script to follow in order to feel like they are "roleplaying", but there are some of us who prefer more of a sandbox approach if for no reason other than a world where the society and character development are organic instead of scripted is more immersive. (How ironic that those who claim to be pro-RP seem to be so anti-immersion...)
We all love Ryzom. However, it's also been obvious to me for most of the years I've been here that one demographic is extremely determined to divide the server by imposing their preferred restrictions upon us all even if it means killing the game. If you want to impose restrictions on yourself or be part of a guild who will toss you for reasons that many of us would consider ridiculous, then that's your right. But when you try to take away other folks' freedom simply because you cannot restrain yourself or are egotistical enough to think that your way is THE ONLY CORRECT WAY then you're just asking for a fight. That sort of fight is not good for the future of Ryzom. Sure, that fight might not actually kill any people the way the same fight would IRL, but it will kill the game.There are worse things than being tolerant of those who do not seek to restrict themselves as strictly as you do. Don't do the in-game equivalent of outlawing meat for everyone simply because you are a vegetarian unless you seek to destroy Atys!

Just as prisoners are free to go anywhere they want so long as they do not leave the prison? I think that you and I have irreconcilably different opinions on what "freedom" means. Si ton but est d'avoir une guilde neutre... libre à toi de la faire, avec les contraintes que ça implique.

Do not assume that you speak for all just because you are the loudest voice; there are many who disagree that simply have no desire to waste words on you.
