' Wrote:The only proper way to get an area of a faction active again is buffing the trade (smuggling) route, making it more OP for a limit time?
for a limited time = a limited solution.
to make an faction active you need one or more of the following things:
A) buff the factions pvp prowess to a "above most others" level
B) give it one or two VERY profitable trade routes
C) make a backdoor entry to the core system that is impossible/nearly impossible to blockade or use for lolraid
D) make it possible to gain alot from roleplaying within said faction (currently hard since there is so many "allies" that dont wanna deal with ya)
If either of these are applied, you can expect faction activity to rise, a little, at first.
Problem is, everyone was playing OC back in 4.85.... Now its all about Hessians, Zoners and Mercs, as they are the ones currently in possession of the shiniest toys, and widest selection of OP combos.
If you want to make OC active, you need to make sure their upcoming fighter line outshines ANY other snubline, even if its only gonna last till 4.87.2... The second another faction surpasses them in pvp compability, you can bet all your money, on another wave of inactivity.
