Why 3 Factions?

[Shadanwolf]

Faction are a good idea because it allows a player to be part of a team from game start(you're not alone like in other pvp games). It engenders a reason to fight.

In most games one side eventually becomes dominant.Having 3 sides(factions) offers a natural counterweight with two other factions restricting the dominant faction.

Factions in PS2 each have different strengths allowing for a more divers play style.

DAOC ..now over 10 years old (with 3 factions) demonstrates the strength of the concept .
