Okay, this post will most likely be longer than I like, however I feel the following is needed to not only "FIX" Factions but to make it what it was originally supposed to be:
#1. Fix Faction Points
As it is now, after the last "Terrible" publish, Faction points are so messed up that most people either are Quitting Factions or in some cases quitting the game all together.
How to Fix this:
There are many ways they can fix this, however what is the best way? In my humble opinion the answer is to allow the people to spend their points to buy "FACTION ONLY" Items. This will help keep the number of kill points down and allow people to maintain a rank (that is if Rank would even be needed). Wouldn't it be nice to spend those hard earned points on something you have been saving for?
#2. Make Faction Dungeons
Right now if a Faction player wants to go fight other faction members without the fear of non-Faction interference they are limited to the faction bases. This would help seprate Faction fighting and classic UO "RED VS BLUE" fighting. Also, Faction players have no "Real" way to make money in this game. I think Creating Faction dungeons is the answer.
How can this be done?:
There is many ways it can be done, but I am only going to list my opinion on the best way to do this. The dungeons should be different than all the other one already in UO. I propose faction dungeons where each room would contain a "FACTION ALTER". You and your faction would kill all monsters in the room and then all would stand on the alter. The alter would then change color to your faction color, and that would indicate that your faction "Owns the Room". Once your faction owns all rooms a boss appears. This boss would have drops that all people would want "Including the Trammies" This way it would entice others from Tram to go to Fel and or will at least create revenue for faction players. The boss would also have rare "Faction Only" Drops, that would make the faction players do these dungeons from sun up to sun down.
#3. Kill Faction members in tram
Why would anyone not think that this is fair? I mean you make a choice to join the factions, because they want cool gear. I simply think I should be able to fight an opposing faction member anywhere.
Anyways, that's my two cents. That would make the game so much more fun I believe. If you agree feel free to send your feedback to UO. I honstly don't think they ignore us. They just try to do what they can when they can.
