This game is basicly a remake of my beloved Dark Age of Camelot, if you brought factional servers in I would be there for life!

1. Easier to identify sides

2. Alliances will sprout more quickly

3. Random ganks, fun, but get old and sometime annoying, can still happen in factional with people jumping the border, but more people will work togather in their own lands.

4. More boarder wars then just random battles, making for more organized pvp!

5. I think the biggest draw to the factional idea for me is like daoc, you just get a great community when you are at the start semi pre-determined ... "ok these guys are my buds! all of them!".

6. Settlements and defenses would forge more togather for defense etc, I can imagin some nice boarder walls etc ;)

7. Easier for starting players to get into and not rage and quit.

8. Opens up for a more friendly community just by the server rules.

-----------

add to the list or argue if you like, I just think factional would rock in this game.

No.

There are enough of game faction-based games already and way too few player faction-based games.

Then again, if it would be on a specific server only, go for it.

I hope this isn't your actual expectation. It's nothing like Daoc, and there will be more than 3 "factions" - the point is, and it is an core element =

PLAYER FACTIONS WITH OWN CASTLES AND TERRITORY.

Asking to make "race" factions goes against anything they build up today.

Yeah,

By NO MEANS do I want the game only to support factions , I am just asking for a server, I know plenty that would come from GW2 to this game if they did, my guild for one. All x-daoc players. It would just fit our play style. Trion being the publisher (for this particular title) could request such, I have no doubt the tech is in place as the one dev (Seems lead) use to work here in the west and knows how people like the different variations. Factions would be a simple code in for what is flagged pvp and not, IE same faction no flag.

Anyways, that is what I do hope for.

ArcheAge  is not even remotely similar to DAoC.

One to their own, I am not forcing your choice and if they offered such how would it effect you directly? My guess, your population would suffer, kinda selfish thinking but one to their own I guess.

Jake Song is the mother of all Player Faction MMOs it's insulting to call him "lead" or dev. :P

It is as far as quality , pvp and basic seige mechanics, I definitly won't insult the game by saying it's like darkfall.

Sorry i don't live breath gaming,  sadly I have to work for a living. If he respresents the game and talked about working with another development house in the west , that would qualify him as a developer. This is a prime reason to have factions, additudes. Have a few thousand elitest mindset players on one server  or have options that allow for a more casual enviroment. I take the ladder as  a player and as a business person if I had the choice no doubt.

The threads in this forum already state constantly "the idea of a constant gank fest is a real turn off" well factions helps that allot. Agree with it or not, it will and that would be a Win Win for Trion.

I dont like the idea.

But if it was just for a special server, I would not care.

Man if you want DAoC you are expecting the wrong game...

And no I dont approve of your idea

player made factions > three factions > two factions

Yet I never found that games like these are a constant gank fest. If you believe the idea is a turn off then well change YOUR ideas instead of the game?  I think it way more fun and interesting to have fluid alliances instead of ones set in stone. This will create a more friendly community because YOU can decide who you want in your alliance. While in a set faction setting anyone and any guild can join your alliance. 

Also I doubt poeple will rage quit less, because the saver you feel the more annoying it is to be killed. If I were to be killed in a high sec in EvE by a player. Changes are I would rage quit and I do hardly ever do that. Yet if it happen in low sec I would write it off as part of the game. Even though you know high sec is not a guarentee not to be killed yet you do not expect it.

A combination might be interesting. Having 3 set factions and then giving people the change to create there own if they desire. You do indeed give people at place to belong from the get go and this might help. However I doubt it has that much inpact in AA because you get eased into the game until level 30 anyway.

This ladder you speak of, is it the corporate ladder? Since you mention you are such a keen businessman. Or did you mean "latter", in the given context that if it was up to you, you would prefer the last option that you mentioned?

As for the "gank fest" conundrum, Archeage currently has bloodmarks - jail system in place, though this is subject to change since the game is still in beta. And trion might feel it is too eastern to throw someone in jail for committing a crime, they might want to westernise it and allow the rich folk buy their way out of such situations.

Allot of opinions for those that it wouldn't effect other then less to gank, any negative responses to this are just that, this has no effect on your direct gameplay beyond the fact that the community has a choice. One , that I might add , you don't have to make.

Because your trying to take one game and turn it into another. Its a slap in the face to Jake Song and XLGames to tear down what they had a vision to create and try and turn it into something else

Opinion, not fact good to see people are passionite about someones vision and have such insight into what a person thinks. If I didn't know better, I would think multiple people here are married to the guy.
