To answer your questions in order.
- I'm not sure there is one silver bullet that interests people. My faction, being lead by an unsavory maniac and being geared towards PvP is not going to interest certain characters and players. I think being active, having a clear and concise "reason for existence", and having activities for members to participate in are all important factors.
- I've got a few quests that are repeatable with most of them geared towards PvP because we're oriented towards a PvP playstyle. I've been trying to coordinate various events, but that can be time consuming and they don't always pan out.
- We've organized in-house storylines revolving around a single plot. The two that come to mind are our hunt and execution of Ballad/ the SoSV and our foray into Dark Data. Imo in-house storylines are important to build character relationships between members.
- Our faction forum is fairly inactive and mostly used as a storage dump for info/plans/ideas. Most of our communication is done through a Skype group.
- Our faction isn't canonical, but I do think that being a canon faction has cons and pros depending on how it is handled.
- Tough question, I usually solicit people in Cbox if I think they'd be interested, I'm not pushy about it and if they say no I don't pester them. I'd love to have more members but the nature of our faction combined with the bar for entry probably drives a few people away.
- Eh most of my IC threads are faction related now, but honestly I don't feel that it is too time consuming unless we're in a storyline.
- Not sure, I mean I think having quests that pay actual rewards is a nice incentive for people, especially now that normal quest rewards are gone. Being active is also a plus, no one wants to join a dead faction, and that also means that you should put your faction out there. What I mean by that is; you should try and impact the world and do things that other players (especially newer ones) see and can react to. That's largely why I've been releasing videos on Omnitube, taunting people and doing other shenanigans.
Hope some of that helped. If you have anymore questions I'll try to answer them the best I can.
