Factions "Survival" is where you may survive in a group known as a faction, you can grief other factions etc. you can name them, set your territory and add people, good luck!
Factions is a survival world where you either join a faction, or create one. You are allowed to grief, because this is basically "Hardcore" survival.
Hardcore Factions USA war-based game about Domination. Betrayal, Raiding, Greifing, Scamming, it's all allowed. It's survival of the fittest, make your base, protect it, make money, get gear, raid. Use the tips near the big bucks shop and /warp help for survival ideas.
Alright.. Let me just explain factions in my own words.. Factions is survival plus reality-like (If it is Hardcore) In my opinion, it's more of a Knight's war game. You have many goals in the game, a lot of roads to choose, and a lot of risks to take. Faction, is a group of people that helps and works together as a team, if a faction is just losing trust one another, then it'll be gone in a small amount of time.. It is the Minecraft version of Reality except it is about war, survive and gaining a lot of money. Spies, Scams, Griefing, they are just your ordinary attacks from your enemies. Factions is made to get the people play the game in a stragetic and smart way or in a mindless and stupid way of it. There are 3 goals in Factions, you can either choose one or more than one. 1. Create the greatest faction or join one. 2. Be the Richest man in Factions. 3. Be the Bad-a$$ raider and warrior. Goals are ment to be in the game, without goals. There is nothing else to achieve or play in Factions. That's how I say it about factions.
It depends on you, If you really trust the person, then add if you wanted. Trust your gut sometimes, but also trust your knowledge as well.
