Factions

I was think about having factions in the game that players can support. It would also giving players a reason to pvp rather than doing it just of the heck of it. Certain factions can be allies with one faction and enemies to another. Defeating a player in a hostile faction gives a player points. You can turn those points in for rewards(gear, weapons, items and faction appeal). The better the item or the higher the level the more points it'll cost. Faction gear and weapons not only tend to look cooler than normal gear, then also normally have better stats then normal store bought items to get players to fight for their faction.


For balance purposes, factions sometimes are unleave-able. Choosing to join a faction is final, so it's wise to make sure that the faction your picking is the one you are ok with spending your whole game experience with.


As for suggestions, you did mention two different churches. That can be a start for player factions.

This is a good start I was thinking of doing something like this but I have been so busy with everything else that I haven't gotten to it yet.

Cool, idm working on this and add to it as the story is flushed out then.

That would be great

Was thinking of having faction fighting happen only in certain warzones, so players can't just kill people as soon as they leave town for points.

Good point otherwise everyone can still enjoy themselves without having to look over their shoulders every 5 minutes

mhm. Different factions have their own war-zones near their faction HQs. Was think of having wartime event sieges. Everyday a different war-zone would have a sieges. Each faction gets a limited amount of respawns. The faction that reaches 0 loses the sieges. The winning faction gets a buff to their hp, mp, exp rate and drop rate(or at least something along those lines) and faction points. The buff lasts until the day of the next siege.

When the siege event isn't up the war-zone is just a normal faction pvp area

Sounds great as long as the same faction doesn't have a siege more then once in the same week.

Nah, I plan on add more than just the light and dark churches to the faction list. Players will be able to join more than one faction (for those pvp players out there), but remember choices are final so join one, will lock you out of another and their aillies. So you can't be a bad player, join a bad faction, then join the ally faction of the good guys and vice versa. 


I'll make a factions list later on in this thread 

Ok cool I'm liking how this is going

Cool. I'll think about it some more. I've played alot of mmos with faction pvpve in them so alot of this ideas are from that.


If you want I can add a rewards list too for faction points.

Alright I will that all up to you. I have no doubt that you will do a great job.
