Why 10,000 instead of 5,000?Catspaw wrote:Everyone,
Effective immediately, the fee for a new faction will now be $10,000, an increase from the former fee of $5,000. This change is to keep the price more in line with the amount of money that people have available.
If you have any questions or comments, you can post them here or private message me if you would prefer.

Well, and someone who's been here longer can correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it the purpose of factions was more to be a "gang" or, as stated in The Guide, "to band together for a common purpose." This is probably why, for our board, the name was changed from Usergroups to Factions:
Anyway, the intent was not to have every special interest topic under the sun available to be discussed on one site. I think expecting that we could possibly cover all topics or have a separate forum for every topic is a little unreasonable. But pretty much any group of 5+ people that has wanted their own space has gotten it. Upping the price might make people actually consider the relevance and value of having the faction in the first place. And maybe instead of needing to recruit 5 members who each pay $2,000, those interested could try to seek additional supporters so that each person's contribution is less and the group has a better chance of survival. I, for one, think this was a good idea.
And that's the end of my dissertation on the new higher price of factions.
As it would be odd to align yourself with many parties or groups, there was originally a limit that each member could only be in 5 factions at a time. This rule still is stated, but is not enforced.definition of faction wrote:1 : a party or group (as within a government) that is often contentious or self-seeking : clique
2 : party spirit especially when marked by dissension

Darcie pretty much nailed it. The intent wasn't special interest, it was more for gangs for storylines and contest type things. But no one seems to get that these days so whatever.

Or maybe he was attempting to make a more esoteric point, such as that there was no such theoretical golden age where storyarcs ran in the streets and inflation was buried deep within the core of the earth never to return.
