Every faction starts off being unofficial - the faction leader shall create a faction thread in this section where he and the other faction members shall post screenshots of their activities - whether it's in between faction members or with other players. The active thread shows that your faction is active and active factions are far more likely to receive official status and other perks.
In order to become official, the current unofficial faction has to meet specific criteria even to become qualified:
- Have a thread that's been active for at least 2 weeks;
- Faction has to have a visible in-game presence;
- Member attitude and roleplay quality must be up to standards;
- Faction members must have a good standing within the community and no recent administrative punishments.
The main difference between these two types of factions is that official factions are scripted into the server and receive certain perks to offer everyone a more immersive and enjoyable experience. What perks shall be granted is considered in a case-by-case basis, but they might include:
- Faction headquarters;
- Faction vehicles;
- Custom & unique faction skins;
- OOC chat;
- Rank system;
- Ability to request their own microcity, which may have other perks involved.
