Don't know if you read through all the comments, but Werit stated it was not a 3rd side Though he seemed genuinely excited, so here's hoping it's interesting.

I think a 3rd faction is the only thing that could bring me back to seriously playing WAR.
Anything else that might be to my fancy might just buy 1-2months of my attention. Either way, I hope the news pleases many. Thanks for the update btw, this would of gone unnoticed for me... at least untill its all over massively or something.

Adding a 3rd faction is probably the only thing that could truly revitalize the game for anything more than short-term, imo. That being said, I think adding a 3rd faction would be technically difficult at this stage. Very tedious to level up against all those maxed gear/RR players. And balance would most likely be more of an issue.
And hasn't Games Workshop basically completely poo pooed that idea, saying WAR will forever be a game of 2 factions?

Well, I suggested splitting the current factions up. That way nobody has to level and isn't there 4 Capitol cities they put in the closet? Welcome to the first 1v1v1v1 faction MMO. I would cream my pants for a 4 faction war

Not sure how that'd all work out... but it'd sure be something!
You could maybe just drop FFA gameplay into the game and just watch how that works out. Tee-hee

I know that DAoC had three factions, so does Planetside. Heck, Pirates of the Burning Sea has four. Can someone explain to me why there is this need for more than two factions when most MMO's with PvP feature only two sides?
What inevitably happens is one side becomes stronger than the other two, while one side becomes weaker than the other two, it's never equal. So why is three the magic number for WAR, or for any game?

In DAoC, the two weaker sides would gang up on the top dog and things would dynamically "balance" until a different side got stronger, and so on. It was too hard for one side to become/stay stronger than the other two together.

Exactly what Winin said. The third side was the wildcard. In 1v1 PvP MMOs, one side usually gets dominant....and stays there.

the "mists" will be like daoc rvr. You have your homeland and all three servers are connected to each other at a central zone. you can fight at the central zone, take the fight to the other server, or defend your area. The mists will be open areas that all levels can compete in. Arenanet claims that you could level from 1 to 80 solely in the mists. They say that all levels will be able to feel like they are contributing to the mists.
