A small rant

Bowlinbob - Lost City

Alright, Ive noticed some things on my alt thats getting ridiculous. Why the hell does it seem every noob thinks they should make their own faction, instead of joining an already semi-successful faction? I mean.. Lost City has hundreds of factions that are so useless for lower levels it's not even funny..

Stop making new factions, join already built ones, your new factions help nobody.

I know there are a lot of new lower factions, but what does it matter? b:surrender

I just want to find 1 thats actually useful <_< ive hopped through about 20 factions so far only to find that they have like 5 actives..

maybe things have taken a dramatic change from my noob days, or this game really is dead, there used to be so many helpful factions back when i was 4x-6x. It seems there are next to no active low levels under 70-80 except for alts nowadays.

The first posts point wasnt really about the question, its about that there may be a decent number of active 4x - 6x's, but they are not in the same faction, every faction ive been in on my alt has maybe two to three 4x,5x,6x's online at any given time, which isnt usefull or helpful at all.

If anyone knows of any factions full of active 5x/6x's lemme know.

It's difficult to sustain a good low level faction, because at some point the leadership grows up and moves on. You either need to constantly find new leaders and groom them to take over, or you need really dedicated people who stick with the faction after most people would have left. Neither is easy to do. The fact that so many of those characters are alts makes it even more challenging.

SuperSayayin - Lost City

the leaders lv up and need help with their onw quest.

no where to turn to, so they join otherguilds looking for the same thing you are looking for.

also the high lvs of those factions.

players make their onw factions all the times just because they think been leader gives them power.

But its all the way around. leaders must find a way to give their guild power, selfless deeds, and gave loyal friends that will join that guild.

but its mostly like.

Waaaaooooo XD Im leader , the first persoin I invite (lv 2 ) will be my director, the next one is marshall, all the others executors.

faction slogan : invite players high lv's plz .

leader lv 24
director lv 18

ect ect...

2 weeks later disband xD

GL finding a guild that wiull help you at your low lv's b:bye

Its true there are alot out there, and increasing all the time.
I remember there suddenly being a big boom in the number of factions being created around abouts after CQ took over map, Ah people and their dreams of gloryb:cute
Also many new people who join, thier first thing on thier mind is to create a faction.

So yeah, theres alot of under poppulated/innsufficient activity, failling factions out there.
BUT-There are some out there, and some will work.
Ive firsthand experience of this, i went in and out of several factions that had very few active people, untill i eventually settled in a "fairly" known faction, but in a way was struggleing at the time, an i was given marshal status fairly quickly.
Eventually due to our reasons, the current director and the marshals created a new faction from scratch with exception to a few people who came with us.
I was a marshal there, an hey, we had a good run, we had fun, we recruited and many newbies and helped them grow stronger mostly from 3x-7x, we had an ok-ish active amount of members.
It worked well during our time running it, but then eventually we disbanded like many others to move onto bigger more well known factions.

As with faction like said for 3x-6x sorta thing, people will start to need help for things like TT and all, unless run well, if they cant get with thier current faction, they will move on.

Overall, im sure there will be factions out there, it can just take a bit of looking.

Those were good times, getting marshal right when I joined just because I was 40 was great b:chuckle Looking back surprised how well the reformed guild worked out considering how many lowbie guilds fail. Think it really helped that all the core people were good friends.

Were you aware that there's a faction by the name of 'TeamLlama' on HL? So confusing because I always think you're the leader for a fraction of a second before I remember you're on LC.

On topic: I agree. Yeah, it's nice if someone wants to make a new faction and starts recruiting but since most of those factions have nothing to distinguish them from almost every other faction they die after a month or two. Honestly, why make a new faction when there are literally hundreds of small factions that already exist and need members? One reason I can think of is the boost to the ego someone gets from seeing '[Faction Name] Leader' over their head. Another is that they really do want to lead a faction (as opposed to order people around and abuse what little power they'd have) but my experience on my alts has shown that those leaders are rare.

Indeed they were good times, aye cat made me marshal instantly, an wasn't too happy tbh, didnt want it to be another faction where i was put straight into a high ranking spot.
Sure you were 40? cos i know you were there before me, and im sure you were like early-mid 3x, lol remember the first time meetin ya was at silver pool with anaboo, pretty sure you were both like early 3x, i was just 4x on holy, ah Holy...(thinks back)b:cute

Anyway, so yeah. It can be done, newbie factions are around and will work like we did.
Also yeah, it probs did help that "all the core people were good friends" an we communicated well with each other on our decisions, an well with the people we invited, many just focussing on recruiting as many people as possible, without actually caring/helping out, hell even talking with the people they invite.

I'm not sure about the current recruiting requirements (or who your alt is/ what level they are, lucky you) but Perski's Aerials is quite the distinguished medium level faction for non-pkers. Decent faction size, competant leaders, and the connections Perski made while in RedHawk way back in the day provide him with plenty of resources in various factions to help his members put together dungeon/bh runs when his guildies are lacking the numbers to perform them.

You also get protection from me which is a nice fringe benefit for up-coming leveling players b:victory.
