1) It's possible to achieve your full potential by yourself. The mission system makes this possible; there's no way anyone can steal your kills there.
2) There is a large variety of people I meet in my travels, and a lot of them act as they are; RolePlaying is fun if you're in front of the right crowd.
3) Lots of places other than mission areas to visit. As an Omni affiliate, I like hanging out at the Rompa (sp?) Bar and RP there too... and I'm still laughing at how I screwed up one night there... hehehe... There are also dance clubs and fast food places to go to (never saw any of this in EQ)
4) The outdoor environments are breathtaking.... from the waters of Lush Fields to those weird red storms that occasionally rage across the planet. Borealis is a beautiful place too.
5) Being part of a large corporation has a lot of advantages. Weapons are easy to come by (tho not at the QL you want). Lots of places to see and visit in the Omni areas. For some reason I feel very safe in the city...
I hope to level more so that I can explore more of Rubi Ka. Too bad the Clanners hate me and would attack me even if I leave them alone
