[Clandest]

Is the alt PvP server Varking going to be factions most likely? Cause I know my guild wants PvP Factions, but their isn't factions then we are going PvE..

It'd be my guess, since they went through the trouble of deciding on factions, but no one knows for sure.

Hmm, well ive been looking into this and this is what the offical FAQ says:

- 4.2 Will there be a faction system? If so, will we be able to see our faction standing?

Yes, there will be a faction system—we are currently planning to allow players to see their faction standing. The Diplomacy Sphere is closely linked to the Faction System.

- 4.2.2 How important a role will faction play?

Faction is tied into quite a few areas of gameplay. As you advance in the game, your actions will decide your faction standing in the world, which will have a direct effect on which quests are open to you down the road.

When faction comes into play, we believe there is a balance: you don’t want a new player accidentally attacking someone and getting their faction messed up because they don’t understand the repercussions of their actions. However, we also don’t want to deny fun to other players, so as mentioned above, we are definitely open to that kind of action later in the game, when players have a better grasp of cause/effect. Faction is also not only affected by combat, but also through our Diplomacy Sphere of gameplay.

so it seems to me that they have a built-in faction system with some set factions. This would also mean that you can switch factions by running quests or doing good deeds for another faction.

oh well, im suprised there isnt more information about this coming up to release.. but I guess that makes it more like a real adventure

I'm not 100%, but I believe these types of factions are separate from the PvP "factions" (aka sides). The factions in the FAQ would be for PvE type things.
