when i started playing this game i thought the 2 factions were in a bitter war, or something along the lines of that. i was hoping to see a battle grounds feature where the factions would collide in wars. The wars would be temporary and lasts a short time and the playes have an option to choose to fight in the war at a certain level, to avoid a low-level slaughter. the soldiers of the winning side could get some type of reward such as gold/silver/copper/experience or even a reputation for his/her faction to gain the ability to buy high quality equipment.
