Factions and their Armies

tapeworm00

I haven't really gotten the "Army" thing yet. Do they have any real effect on gameplay, character customization selection, banners, and whatnot? Or are they just a way of making us feel the war is really bigger than anything we'll ever be able to perceive, since we're not gonna play as the "whole race", but rather, as an organized fraction AKA one of many armies?

 

If this has already been explained somewhere else, my apologies, and please direct me with links or something, heh. If not, please explain.

i think you mean Regiments, or the WAR guilds.

WE do not know much about this yet, but surely you can have your own tabard and banner, that has been confirmed. What you do with the banner, no one knows yet, beside bringing it around of course.

I also think they say you can ally with other Regiments and the like, but... as said, nothing definitive.

In DAoC, however, guilds can take over the Frontier keeps. It then start having your guild flags all over and you can hire guards, place siege engines and improve the whole keep in different ways. All guards will also wear your tabard.

He's talking about the factions.

Bloody Sun Boyz, Oathbearers, etc.
