Why do the staff so strongly discourage a new player starting with an unaffiliated character?
The focus of the MU*’s RP efforts are on the factions. These are in existance to cause people to come together, which in many multitheme settings they do not if left to their own devices. Unaffiliated characters as a result often have very difficult times with getting RP or getting involved in things. They require a large amount of proactiveness and often knowing people already.
