' Wrote:<staggering list of hypothetical faction deaths>
Better to have no official faction for a given NPC faction than to have an inactive one. They have the power to recruit on these boards. Why can't they make 300 play-hour months happen? The server is capable of delivering roughly 200*24*30 = 144,000 play-hours per month. Realistically, only about 72,000 play-hours are used each month, but a faction should use at least a significant fraction of that to be considered "official." 300 is not that much in the whole scheme of things. Factions: can't get to 300 hours per month? Improve your recruiting policy (after all, you do get that "perk") and stop alienating independents with stupid policies.
