Quite different remark. I remember that we had a lot of colours, different for each faction. Knowledge of faction of player i met in locations brings in non PvP a more social aspect of a game. It was not only anonymous nick running around, but i knew and feel that char is played by person from faction with its history and unique relation between his and my own faction. NC gives little emotion: friendly, hostile, gratefull, angry. It gave us a chance to chat ingame about latest news, good trades, tricks..... In game, do you understand? Fonline needs a non PvP occasions to interact with players. Stay in city, talk, not only trolling.

It also gave us mumble/TS discussion topic: "why gang XY is at this location?", "did they found bug, new quest,...?". Anonymity of unknown nicks destorys a game experience.

Also uncoloured chars, when most of all were Ncoloured, was also reason and motivation to talk with "new" player/char, until you realized that it is another alt of well known players :)

So NC gives more, but unfortunately, it seems like you did not get that experience Jovanka. Fonline was and i hope it is not only about player vs. player interaction, but also about player vs. faction.
