Hi ho.  I've been playing Legends for about 18 months in COA
	and now NIC.  I am disillusioned with COA because the players
	(or many of them, at least) know where everything is.  They
	know the major characters, where the goodies are, how to get
	them, etc ...  I have no problem playing with or against
	players who know the system well, but to know the game SO
	intimately that you merely need to show up with the requisite
	characters ... hmmm.  It seems pointless to play a game you
	KNOW you are going to win, unless the reason you are going to
	win is superior tactics and a bit of luck.  ;)

I read the notes about factions too ... I have a HUGE problem
	with the organized factions and the way they are handled.  I
	think they should add a second tier to the faction, comprised
	of the 'inner circle'.  That way you don't get sleazy tactics
	like players joining a faction with a throw away character and
	discovering who is in the faction.  It should be more
	hierachical and more tricky, IMHO.  I *DO* like way MG has
	tried to discourage players from playing in the same NIC module
	after their position is dropped.  Personally, I would stay away
	from the organized factions, until such time as they come to
	you and ask you to join (because of some feat or series of
	feats you've accomplished - call me snobby, but I wouldn't feel
	too great about carrying a character that hasn't proven
	themselves).  I suppose the higher the NPC activity level, the
	more variety/danger/suspense there is, with respect to who you
	can and can't trust.  ;)
