The Old Republic Roleplay|Site Info


Cross-faction contact is awesome. The ability to actively converse with your enemies in-game without need of a third party system isn't revolutionary, but it's a pleasant surprise for the likes of people who spent their time in the MMORPG that will not be named. For most, it's a continuation of a good idea for folks who have played Star Wars Galaxies, Age of Conan, and mostly every other MMO that tries to be its own universe.

For role-players, that presents many new, exciting opportunities. Guild or group rivalries can have dialogue between the bloody brawls and potential dismemberment or blaster scarring. Shady independent bounty hunters or smugglers get to see their services to the opposite faction and still get their credits for a job well done. Even the ever resourceful intelligence agents have the chance to actively gather information on their mark by sitting down and having a drink with the person they need to know every little detail about.

This Reporter's question is this: Do you do cross-faction deals? Be you soldier, spy, civilian or force sensitive, do you do deals with those clearly marked as a potential enemy? Are you willing to, or are you against this kind of thing? Tell us in the comments!

The Star Wars saga has had an interesting cast of characters often working with those whose personal beliefs are scarcely different than the other party in spite of a mutual goal. Jedi have acted as commanders in The Old Republic to troopers who were openly distrustful or skeptical of the mystical space monks and their abilities in combat. Sith and Imperials, as well, often work together in tentative partnership, the latter party usually afraid of the awesome power of a Sith Lord.

As our characters move through the relived aggression between Republic and Empire, many characters who have never worked with the military will now have to do so. Flighty Smugglers or over-aggressive Bounty Hunters may have to operate with those of strict authority and firmly held governmental beliefs, often along with Force users who are just the 'odd one out' as any civilian is.

This Reporter's question is this: Will your character work with the military? Be they civilian, ex-military, Sith, or Jedi, there is always the chance that the armed forces may need your character's skill. Will they lend their aid begrudgingly and follow orders or press the issue and become a leader amongst those below their social station? Tell us in the comments!
