One nice thing about WoW you don't have to worry about factions crossing, the lines are clearly delineated between bad and good which isn't the case in EQ.
Its too bad that good people with good intentions get mixed up in stuff that they are not aware of until way later in the game when it is too late to do anything about it. I think EQ lacks the foresight to prevent this from occuring. I see too many peoples games that are ruined beyond their intentions by not being aware of the faction they are killing. The "hot" zones are guilty too by luring people to go against their faction because that is where the XP and Groups are. so its either solo and fall behind, or group for XP and ruin your faction, those seem to be the choices......
