So, one question:

How will this affect Community Warfare? If I'm playing as a "First Person only" player, and I attack a planet held by "Third person" players, how will that work?



There are so many pitfalls to this I can't even comprehend them all. You already acknowledge playerbase segmentation is an issue. Other people are about to point out more of them for you.



Let me say this much. If, during the process of Community Warfare I am forced to play against "Third Person" players, that will be the end of MWO for me. If the division of the playerbase creates a situation where MWO becomes too small, that will be the end of MWO for me.



I began participating here on the basis of what was written in the Dev Blogs that described the game you wanted to build. It seems that as time passes, those Blogs become less guideposts and more tombstones. I'm still waiting to see Community Warfare - EVE with mechs.



I honestly believe you are creating more problems than you are solving by adding 3rd person. If you want to draw players in, you need competition, real, honest competition. Right now you have Counterstrike with mechs and no ability for the community to create it's own competition. I think that should be your focus.
