A small rant

O_o


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

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.

You have given yourself the answer to your own question in the above statement.

However, they are out there it is just a matter of finding on that suits you.

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.

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.

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.

too many low levels making too many new factions

1 reason: conquer the world map

forget it ya kno

i will join

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.
