The one thing I do want to see is one faction per IP, I factioned for a few years and the one thing I hated most of all was when people felt they were losing on the faction they were playing, they would "jump Ship" and log onto another Faction.

I always felt that was kinda two faced,it made it so people did not feel they had to be Loyal to their faction cus anytime the chips were down they would just log on their other factioneer.

... Or there could just be a timer where people couldn't join a faction after leaving a faction.

Solskin, that is not what I am talking about, I am talking about having a different Faction for each account.That was the norm and rampant on another server. One person would have a TB on one account and a Minax on another account a SL on yet another account.

I just hate to see that same rubbish go on here.

Well, fool on whoever does that. Assuming you can't 7xGM in a week, it just means he'll have two characters half as good as people not doing it and keeping their focus on one character.

A couple of months in, and time to GM stops mattering.
It also ruins any degree of secrecy within the faction way faster than having an informant ever would.

I doubt anyone will be able to keep too many secrets conserning faction wars - one faction per ip or not.

This poll is missing the option "One Faction Per Account".

Currently the way it is setup is that you can only have town citizenship per account. Whether you are in that town's aligned faction or not doesn't matter.

Finally, there are always going to be spies. Making Sene/Az code this in will not change/hinder that.

Theres no way people should be allowed into more than one faction. It was one of the downfalls to good faction wars tbh.

I would take it a step further and say, not only can you have only One Faction per IP, but you ALSO cannot have a Murderer and a Paladin on the same IP.
