since ive made the faction ive had a fair few people join saying it is a great idea, i would join one of them but i want to create something different from them, most factions just stick to the same things as an npc faction, this is good in some cases but not in others, this being one of them.
Also just because there are other factions doesn't mean that everybody will fit in to their RP, and RP is what we are about. We want to give players a new RP choice that they may fit into better than others, and then other people may create factions to oppose us creating more of a RP need for us and others.
