I personally have switch over to skyblock, instead of factions. The reason I did this is because factions is lacking key necessities such as pvp arena, not enough people, which means not enough bases to raid. I used to play skyblock a lot a long time ago, when it wasn't op. Even though it is a little bit op, I still enjoy playing with other people. I honestly think that regular skyblock would be a little more enjoyable, but I still love AEM.
- Greeting's Snipinq_ and Old_Mc_Donald, @Snipinq_ our party is really OP, Centro916 is the best pvper; of his Mcmmo levels. We rek people in pvp when we gank them. The best part is we talk on TeamSpeak a lot and are on at the same time. I have made new friends through this group in the party and through ts. One being Snipinq_. Factions does seem "lonely" due to other servers having 1000 people on, which makes it easy to find raids. It takes about 30min to find a claim in this servers factions. The koth may be a "king of hill" that gives you a reward. I also think a reason they added the koth is to lore people in, since people join to get the rewards from the koth. Skyblock has became my new favorite server in AEM, since there's a huge community with nice people. AEM as whole should think of a way to lore more people to factions. With all the other servers coming on soon this will surely bring more players. Those people may join and try other servers within AEM, which they may enjoy and start playing more. To the main part I also agree with what @Snipinq_ said about factions being lonely. Have a great day! - BurninPh30nix
Skyblock was the original server and has always been the most popular (except when zombies and kitpvp were up that is)
