Setting official faction activity minimum at 48 hours?

[Knjaz]

Nope.avi

A much more reasonable limit would be to remove time limits entirely, and have a minimum time requirement when another faction wishes to challenge an existing faction's official status. Easy.

(It was also SMI, not you.)

Well, or that.
But the time limit that is preventing other faction going official should be definitely higher.
Also, the decision of making or not making a new faction official one should be based on the, let's say, (as an example) past 2 months, that would prevent things like "ohnoez we're being challenged let's log in more this month and then go into hibernation mode again".

So if you're keeping yourself under the limit, you face a constant risk of losing officialty. Well, can add an option that allow currently official faction to compete even after the Officialty request from another party has been posted on forums (IF it'd get approved), but that will make things go too slowly, imho. Like, certain faction keeping itself under limit for 2, or 2-3, or 3 out of 4, whatever (numbers are an example) months, then there's a request by another worthy faction, then at least 2-, months to watch for the activity levels of currently official faction... that's 4 months already. And even that won't prevent em from spending *slightly* more time in-game for 2 months, if the limit will be low enough.
