I would love to see a third faction in Warhammer Online. After the Q and A with Andy on Mykiels Webcast it made me just a little bit more excited about a third faction becoming a reality.
It leaves some questions on how they would incorporate it into the game a year and a half later.
Would they introduce a new server or two so everyone could play the three factions from the ground up?
Would the new servers population balance be way off as everyone would roll the third faction, and the other two would be ghost towns?
Would it be part of a new paid expansion?
How would the third faction defend their city initially when everyone would start in tier 1?
Would they let current players jumpstart a third faction character if they have a 40 already by having them start in Tier 3.
Would it ruin the lore by having new content skipped if they allowed characters to be autoleveled to 30ish?
Would the third faction eventually be able to catch up gear/renown to be competitive in tier 4?
I am going to be really curious how Mythic pulls off a third faction, and keeps everyone happy. I really, really, really hope a third faction does come into the game. I think it would bring a ton of players back.
What do you think about the third faction, and how to implement it the best way?
