We're working on a couple of improvements for Factions:

• Separation of Faction Bases into their own server regions to isolate the Faction fights from Housing in the adjacent areas

• Guild Faction Assignment:

  • guilds will be required to have a faction assigned, determined by the guildmaster, in order for members of the guild to be part of a faction
  • upon logging in, if you are in a guild and in a faction and your guild does not have one registered or it is registered to a different faction then you will begin the Faction Resignation process and be kicked from your faction after 7 days unless you leave the guild or your faction is assigned to the guild
  • if you are in a guild and trying to join a faction, your guild must be assigned to a faction and you must join the assigned faction
  • only the guildmasters can assign a faction to a guild
  • it's optional for guild members to be in the faction or not, but players wishing to be in a faction must be in the same faction as the guild
  • if you are trying to create a guild while in a faction, you will be warned that the guild will become registered to your current faction when you form the guild - you cannot form the guild with players of another faction

We're giving you some time in advance to prepare for the Guild Faction Assignment changes, so please adjust your characters accordingly to prevent being forcibly removed from your faction later on

These changes are still being worked on and they will be released separately & we'll post patch notes with all of the details when they go live.
