http://factionsgame.com/index.php Over the course of the past few months, I have been keeping tabs on this game. I was planning on waiting till they finally released some new screenshots or whatever, but I figured hey, why the hell not. Besides, the forums are a bit empty seeing as how they didn't want to advertise too much until they had something to show, but I thought I might as well try and get some new people in who could give some new ideas. Just remember it's a work in progress and stuff, but if it all works out it would be awesome. Anyway, the basic concept of this game is that players are split into various "factions". Each faction is player made. In fact, everything is playermade aside from the world. At the beginning, the world would be an empty wilderness, and from that players are supposed to build civilizations and wage war against each other. So the players build the cities, have professions , make their own missions for other players to do, ect. So yeah, a complete sandbox. Anyway, again at the moment they are still working on it, and plus it's not like it has any media so I'm just going off their word at the moment XD But anyway, if anyone is at all interested in said concept give it a look.

Erm.... Minecraft Plugin? Was that a failed attempt at something funny or do you really not know about this game...? :I The MineCraft plugin is crap. This game is not. This game has looked pretty sweet since I first heard about it a few months ago.

This game has looked pretty sweet since I first heard about it a few months ago. Yeah, this game is absolutely nothing like Minecraft. At all. So, yeah, random words. Anyway, you've heard about it eh? Well, would you be willing to go on the website some? Every week there's a new thread where we can have some input on systems in the game, but it's kinda useless when it's only a handful of people. :/

But yes, they are two different games so I cant compare the 2. Sorry if I confused you :S

However, the promise at least is. but yeah, let's drop that minecraft plugin discussion. Probably isn't as in depth as this game will be.

Agreed. The concept is amazing. Hopefully the other key aspects are as well. Could you link me to the site? I have actually failed to find it.

I provided an invalid answer to the question: Do you intend to spam? But yeah. I'm tired atm so I don't remember any of the ideas I had from a huge sandbox game I had thought up a few years ago. :I

Sounds like something I always wanted! Quick quetion though: will the civilizations be kept on their serves? I would really love for this to be like a 'raiding' sort of game where you build cities, make alliances, and dominate the server until the reset every month. It'll be like Earth: The Video Game. Also, while I know we dropped the subject: Erm.... Minecraft Plugin? Funny how you must assume that. When GTA released, people frowned upon open-world games and called them GTA clones; LBP pushed the Create, Play, and Share concept and user-generated-level games were called LBP clones; DotA quickly became a popular Warcraft 3 mod and every MOBA/ARTS game was considered a DotA clone (they still do, so we haven't gotten passed this phase yet). I guess we're still in the "every sandbox game is a Minecraft clone" phase. Don't worry, though, it's normal: one game pushes its genre into massive popularity or pushes the boundaries to create new ideas, and everybody will see every other game who replicates this intentionally or coincidentally as a clone for a few years. Such is the life of a video game.

Yeah, it will be permanent. They will never reset the server. Although they're only planning one, so it will be one world that never changes it would seem.

Yeah, it will be permanent. They will never reset the server. Although they're only planning one, so it will be one world that never changes it would seem. That could be a problem. As I said before, a monthly reset would be better. Think about it: A whole community from some site builds an empire. They start raiding civilizations to the point of no return. That community goes unrivaled for a long time. Some other sites band together to take on the empire. Cold War II commences. Sounds fun, I must admit, and I'll probably the a-hole who helps create the empire only to back-stab them with a new rival empire. But seriously, people will screw everybody with raids to the point where monthly or bi monthly resets will be implemented later on.

Well, if anyone cares, soon there will be a closed beta of this. Like, really closed. As in three people plus the dev team. Me being one of those guys of course. So yeah, not that big yet XD Anyway, I thought I might say that in case any one is interested or whatever. If so, then feel free to do whatever you want.
