    They are dividing players into two factions for 24/7 faction warfare.I was asking when that was expected to happen.(players choose which faction they want to be part of)

    Concerning what this new factions system is what i do know is that its consequential as you don't have to involve yourself but if you do. At its first level there are 4 empire factions Amarr Caldari Gallente and Mimitar.

     

    Then there are NPC corporate factions which represent the multiple NPC corporations that belong to each empire. So you can chose to either help your chosen empire in gaining map dominance or you can help a NPC corporation against its competitors.

     

    What will most likely happen is that for either system you get NPC agents who will give you missions to complete. For example one could be for you to ambush a Amarr supply convoy where you basically meet the convoy in deep space in amarr space and you bring some friends to help you deal with the NPC escort and kill the convoy.

    Thing is the amarr players could get a mission where they are to defend the same convoy from enemy attack so you could turn up and not only see the convoy and its NPC protection but you could also see some NPC Amarr supporters there too. And that's where the PvP comes in as you never know if your mission has its opposite in some other empire therefore bringing together opposing faction players.

     

    Another great example of Moore's Law. Give people access to that much space (developers and users alike) and they'll find uses for it that you can never imagine. "640K ought to be enough for anybody" - Bill Gates 1981

    The idea of factional warfare was announced years ago and nothings ever been done about it, why? I don't know but my comment still stands there are plenty of factions for you to join, a short list of the largest would be:-

    Morsus Mihi, Goonswarm, Band of brothers, Smashkill, Mercenary coalition, Insurgency, Razor, Red alliance, Tau ceti federation, Curitas veritas alliance, Ka tet, Privateers, Triumvirate, Intrepid crossing, Evoke, Against all authorities.

    All these practice 24/7 factional warfare and so do countless other alliances including many roleplay corps and alliances if more in depth storyline based immersion is your thing. I don't believe CCP need to waste time creating something that already exists and its something dynamic and evolving and is the true appeal of EVE.

    Some time around June is my best guess.  They have hinted to it being out this summer.

    Sounds like typical alliance wars. Already in the game.

    How would an npc assigning you missions make it any better? bear in mind as well all the non pvp minded players wont get involved if pvp is involved and the people who already pvp are involved in player created factional warfare.

    And the player factions do fight for a reason, some fight for glory and reputation and others fight for wealth and others fight out of loyalty to their corp or alliance so in EVE all pvp matters even at its most fundamental aspect of fighting either to destroy somebodies stuff or fighting to save your own stuff.
