If you want to hear my opinion, I'd completely scrap idea of official factions. They made sense when server population was so big you couldn't even join server at 200 limit. Nowadays it would be better to simply go "whatever player faction wants to fill the niche" and get rid of system in which players log in numbers one day in a longer period while servers lay barren.
I'd like to point out that forum roleplay should also be a fair criteria for the factions' activity.
