Time for more teaser tidbits! Archavalon (or simply Avalon for short) will utilize an important faction system.
Archavalon, the strong arm of one of Ul'dah's many noble houses, House Mavanix, has numerous assets available to it. This includes the Margarah fashion line, the Mavanix Academy, the Avalon Heritage Museum, and more. More details will be revealed about these factions at a later time. Each faction serves Avalon/House Mavanix and its needs first and foremost. But they will each have something to offer to outsiders as well. Factions will each have their own mini-epic storylines that will play out within the shell via the faction members. In addition, each faction will be capable of hosting a plethora of unique linkshell and public events. IC articles regarding each of Avalon's factions will hopefully be coming in the very near future.
A second system Avalon may utilize is that of the Linkshell Standings system. This system will award other RP shells "points" based on their level and type of interactions with us ("interactions" include events in which we are invited to and/or events that we invite other shells to, gil contributions toward Avalon's rebuilding and/or future projects [gil donations will be used strictly for future public RP events], and so on). These points can later be used to "purchase" certain story-related things from Avalon. For instance, the Mavanix Academy faction will have dominion over the Avalon Heritage Museum. A RP shell may be interested in using their points to purchase an artifact from the museum to name one of many examples. This will in turn further enhance interactive RP shell stories. The purpose of this system is to help promote more community solidarity and cross-shell RP storylines, since many of us are not presently happy with the clique-like and isolated behavior that is growing within the RP community. However, this system may be scrapped early on depending on numerous factors. This particular system is currently not in use.
