I was playing on a server with one of my friends and the server name had a towny and factions server. The towny server had about 30 people on it, and the factions server had about triple that, with both being known amongst all the players just as much. I think that having a shadecrest factions server could be a fun alternative to towny, and could possibly attract more players that like factions more than towny. I know that it would be a big project, but this is just a suggestion.
This would pretty much be the same as what it is now, we have many people scattered around the world (mostly peaceful) and just living as they do except they'll have regions, to be honest I think that we should just scrap towny completely like I suggested in my other thread. http://www.shadecrest.com/site/index.php?threads/4701/
