Re: About Factions?
Factions are all about PvP. If you join factinos you will be killable by opposing factions everywhere -- you are not safe in guard zones and you are not safe in trammel. That said, if you want to join factions, you have a few choices.
True Britannians
Base: Britain - Lord British's Castle
Colors: Purple and Gold
Current guilds: none that i know of
Minax
Base: Mountains surrounding Destard
Colors: Red and Black
Current guilds: ATHF
Council Of Mages

Current guilds: None yet, some talk of D^B joining
Shadow Lords

Current guilds: WoW, -SL-
In order to join a faction, head over to the base of whatever faction you want to join and double click the sign up stone. The interface is pretty self-explanitory. The bases are also where all the sigils are stored, so if you want to steal a sigil from another faction, you go into their base and steal it, then run it back to your own. The exception is that if the sigil has been "corrupted" it will be placed back on the "town stone" within a city and must be stolen from there.
When you get fed up and want to quit, head inside the base and find another stone -- double click it and click the button to "Leave Faction". This will start the quitting process, and after 7 days you will no longer be associated with the faction. There is no other way to quit a faction.
Aaaand, finally a few things I remembered but didn't fit anywhere up till now:
* You can only have one character in factions per account.
* Stat loss - when you get killed by an opposing faction, all of your skills will be reduced by 1/3 for 20 minutes. Nothing you can do but wait for it to pass.
