Factions

When reading the Wheel of Time books you notice how many factions there are, it took me a while to think how you would do factions in this MMO since there are no real two forces against each other, i know darkfriends but you cant have darkfriends vs everyone and they have not cities. So i go another idea from Elder Scrolls what if when you start the game you are in no faction, but you can go join the cause you feel is right for you, it could be the city guard which might lead to the army and become a General. Or you could go and join the Whitecloaks and work your way up from there. All of these would have there own quest lines depending on what is happening at the story at that point in time. And for our darker players you would of course be able to join the darkfriends. but i think it would be much cooler if you did not loose your position in the other faction you are in when you join the darkfriends you just have more option to sabotage them but of course if they find out you are a darkfriend, a guard see you kill some one or i don't know anything you loose your spot in your original faction, if i guess you don't kill the guard that saw you.
