Ayy fam that was the best of times. 99% sure that Moloch nerfed it down to +3 instead of +5.

Pleb Court would be better if it was branched out to the other gangs. Certain concepts would fit better for promotions in the chaos brigade over the plebian court

Hey Dobby, how about team North America comes over fully buffed and we invis gank them?

@Mr.Moloch:

@gDarDog:

Dream Faction: Adventurer's Guild, Zhentarim, Custodians of Candlekeep.

Why? What was great about them?

@golw:

What I liked was Halfling Gypsies, Eclestian Order, Custodian's of Candlekeep, Greencastle. Very specifically planned and designed factions with a plot.

I think golw summed it up pretty well. "Team Citadel" and "Team Old Town" factions can only get you so far. Factions based solely off one or a few plots I find are much more interesting. With Candlekeep we spent most of our time researching the rift and figuring out how to access it's power and I found that to be far more interesting. With Greencastle our goal was to take over east arabel… With Adv Guild we spent our time going on different adventurers looking for exotic creatures/people to save/things to explore... etc

Things I like:
Easy to join and are capable of maintaining an extremely wide variety of concepts.
Nice access to some loot/chest/resting as a benefit

Things I don't like:
Vague goals.
With only two factions, you can easily find yourself having played in the same faction multiple times. You can only play a King/Advisor so many times.

Things I'd like to see changed:
For the Pleb Court I think it would be a good idea to extend the faction to include all three gangs and let a pc choose which to join off of entering the faction whether its Chaos/Pleb/Palace right off the start.
Push players in a direction and just let them go. The wonders you'll see from just giving people a nudge in the right direction.
New fresh factions would also be a bonus.(Thayan's? Mage guild?)

Dedagin I think it's important for someone to spend some time to really understand the mechanics of this game. Sure we play to RP but the mechanical aspect is important, and having a better grasp of how everything works will lead to less burn outs because you will probably die less often. I used to get my ass whooped on a regular basis in Pvp until I finally started doing this. Figure out what you need to use so you can boost your stats. Learn how to buff your AC/AB/Fort/Reflex/Will accordingly so you can prepare yourself for fights. Puffy's post is actually very helpful, you may look at that and say "Damn how could I ever get that many potions" but when you start using the proper consumables on quests, they become more profitable and actually make you spend less on healing. You need to make money to get money, or in this case you need to use consumables to get consumables. At the end of the day the impact of your build has a minimal effect on PvP, consumables is king and knowing which to use in a fight and at what time is usually the difference between winning and losing.

On a side note, it's already been noted but it is extremely important to be able to differ IC and OOC, when I killed Will you did send me some things but I never reported it…. why? Because I understood where you were coming from, I used to be emotionally attached to the PC if I played them as long as you had been playing Will. But after playing this game for so many years you have the chance to communicate with so many people and learn from them. Learn from other players that it is simply a video game and that winning or losing doesn't matter. Look at that post from Lizard in General discussion about what type of player you are, the players that I picked as my favourites weren't simply my favourites because of how awesome they were, they were people who taught me more about the game and how to improve my own game(RP wise and mechanically)
