Hey everyone,

you may have heard around the server and forum, that we will be getting the factions plugin soon to enhance play on our survival map. Heres how its going to work. Firstly I just want to say THIS IS NOT WAR. I know most people liked war but some didnt, so i want to make this clear so it doesn't put you off. For the first 1 or 2 weeks, we are going to have 3 large teams. this is so people can get the hang of the plugins and also form allegiances (for later...). Each of these factions will build its base during this period, faction bases are claimed and protected by the plugin, but have to be upheld with money like towns. After this period of 3 factions, players will then be allowed to split off and form their own factions. However there will be a couple of regulations.

Factions cannot be created until there are a minimum of 5 players ready to join your faction.
Once you have this many people you will be allowed to make the faction.
maximum number of players per faction is 20
if a faction falls bellow the 5 player minimum it will have a weeks notice to get more players before it is disbanded
Were going to make factions quite expensive (not sure on daily uphold yet TBC)

all of these are to ensure we, like other faction based servers, dont end up with hundrends of 1 or 2 player factions which confuse new players and is basicly just pvp, thats no fun, and we like fun.

IMPORTANT If you want to be in one of the 3 starting factions comment below with your ingame name, this is needed especially if your ingame name is in any way different to your forum name. (note: you do not have to be in a starting faction to use the map or be in one later, but it is helpful not only to us but for you, if you want to get the hang of the plugin, it will also give you priority when creating your own faction)

I would really like to see this do well, so join up

thx
jc
