A way to give people a grand purpose

[War Barney]

Its been mentioned before that PS2 lacks purpose a lot of the time, people fight for exp and thats it except during alerts (and even then people fight for the big exp reward).

A good way to solve this issue would be to

A. A short intro explaining your factions history and goals, that way players know what they are fighting for and why instead of *I kill blue and red people cos I'm purple!*. I honestly know NOTHING about the NC, I've played them for almost a year and honestly the only thing I know is they like blue, I have no idea why they care about this planet, I have no idea what this planet is or where, if this is meant to be in our future or a alternate universe NOTHING.

B. A bonus for locking all 3 conts! something big! something fancy! something everybody would constantly strive for!!. Now I'm not saying it would be easy to do or happen often.. but right now cont locking seems to just be for pride, if there is a bonus for it I've never noticed it. Imagine if locking all 3 conts let you chose a free gun? Finally people would have a reason to constantly be fighting to lock them all at once instead of just avoiding the enemy and zerging for exp which is the current style of play.
