They really need to work to make the Illuminati and Templars more attractive.

If you go to the games main forum and look at social groups (voluntary sign up)

Dragon is nearly twice Templars and Illuminati combined.

Tested: dragon

Picked: dragon

Illuminati

I went dragon based on the test at Darkdaysarecoming.com. After doing more investigation and learning more of what they are all about, I'm still going to stick with dragon. Heres why.

Illuminati - Rich ignorant and bloodthirsty.

Templars - The 'good guys' but they are also a part of Christianity and thus their sect is the 'one true way.' To hell with them.

Dragon - The most secretive, mystically minded but also very mischevious.

I really do suggest people do thorough investigations into each faction before choosing, as clearly a good bunch of people have chosen Dragon cause.. it sounds cool and they like asian things. ;) Going to Darkdaysarecoming.com taking the test and then reading the details about each individual sect is a great start.

Just to correct a misunderstanding here. Templars are not about Christianity or any other religion whatsoever. Templars are about faith and this has been clarified quite a few times. That's a common misunderstanding that sometimes turns people away from this secret society.

Templars are not the knight templars.

Knights were part of the church.

Templars are, "All evil must be destroyed. Whatever the cost."

Dragon and I'd agree with that.

Tested Dragon, picked dragon.

I like the idea of having a milkshake in Seoul! 

Or wherever that was, but their HQ is in Seoul.

Illuminati! And I agree with that!

I always believed three factions were better than two.

this issue asside, are you able to say whether these will be three competing factions or will it be like AoC where factions can work together, guild up, etc.?

The only hard facts are that the factions are competing in the Hollow Earth for ressources. It has been stated it is not decided if there is cross-faction grouping above ground. It seems they are slanted against it.

If Templar in the game are not directly connected with the church, thats a good thing. It's the LAST thing I want in the game. (I'm not even in the 'bible belt' but I get inundated with all things Christianity on nearly a daily basis, it drives me up a wall.)

But still I don't think I can go Templar simply on philosophical differences. So in the end I think I am a Dragon through and through. I've always more agreed with the philosophies of the east more than the west anyway.

It will be interesting to see this poll again once people start reading and watching  more closely info on the Societies, and once Fc disclose more in-depth info on them, as currently there seem to be quite a lot of misconceptions attached to them, based on what people says vs the descriptions and the video TTH has on the SOcieties presentation by Tornquist.

The Op forgot the option NONE, for people like me who wont even try it .

Looks like ill be one of the masses, Dragon

Im templar but I wanted to be a dragon :/

Wow!

A lot of Dragons.

I'm kind of surprised it isn't more evenly distributed.

Templar

Sucks that the only question that matters is the one when you choose what weapon you want... Pistol=Templar, Sword=Dragon,  Machine-gun=Illuminati. The rest of the questions got nothing to do with what class you end up with.

Edit: I got templar luuuve guns :)

 I was the Illuminati, does this make me rare? :P

You know that is not true, I hope. That only matters as much as any of the other questions in the test, and it is only to determine what you might fit as part of. Choosing one thing will not by itself change everything.

Furthermore, they have said that in the game you can use whatever weapons/skills you want, regardless of faction. Your faction has no bearing on what you can use or do.

Lets just say in ToR, you will play a great Sith

Anyways, I took the test and it nailed me as a Templar even though Illuminati is what I want to try.
