As a relatively new player, I can tell that the number of OFs has declined since I started playing here. I remember seeing numbers like two factions per "insurgency" and Rogues; some factions even had three - like Liberty Navy, Outcasts, Corsairs or Coalition. These numbers dwindled long before 5.0 came around. Players became more busy inRL, casual, and less interested in logging on command or to keep their OF alive. Playing flexible IDs like Freelancers, Pirates or factions like the Technocracy, or large ZOI factions like Outcasts or Corsairs also helps.
It's sad to see Bristol losing OF, but it's whatever.
