Oldest MxO Factions? - MXO Forum Archive

#36300393640 01/25/2008 20:22 Oldest MxO Factions?

I was wondering, of the factions still remaining, which one is the oldest? I know Furious Angels and the Collective go way back to Summer 2004 at least. Mine (Les Enfants Terribles) has been around since late 2004. I'm sure there are a few others from back then.

It would be cool to see a list of all the still-remaining factions in MxO since beta.

Prophets of Peace. In December 2004, the Prophets of Peace was the first Beta Faction created that specifically and openly advertised their allegiance to Morpheus and his mission.

If the game was released in March of 2005 (or December of 2004 WHICH DOESN'T COUNT BECAUSE THAT'S NOT WHEN THE GAME WAS RELEASED) how is it possible for any faction to be around for four years when we haven't even reached the third year mark?

11-25-03 to 11-25-07 = 4 years (and counting). It doesn't matter if the game wasn't released yet, the Faction was created with a website, a forum for members and recruits, and as shown above, a recruitment thread on the old Ubi boards.

and I also don't think being the oldest faction matters at all. It just means you have more people who haven't had a life or a steady job for almost three years.

Or it just means that the Faction itself has a strong leadership with years of both old and new members that continue to join creating the time line of the Faction from day 1 until now. A strong Faction does not allow itself to dematerialize over time, no matter how bad the situation seems, which is why you see so many disband and members just join other Orgs.

Well, I disagree. You don't physically form the Faction in-game, but you can still talk and get to know members and recruits before the game went into beta, and it just gives you a head start on members and having people to play with who you have been talking with for over a year.

Also, take your pissy drama BS out of our recruitment thread. That's twice. I'm bringing it up here as I do not want to spam the thread. We don't post in yours, so let's show some decency, shall we?

Actually closed beta started in June of 04 and the UBI site was up on November 14, 2003. Oh and yes it is possible to be a faction, clan, group before a game is released. What would be the point of recruitment threads on forums pre-release if this wasn't the case?

So if you want to be technical The Collective has been apart of The Matrix Online community for 4 years/3 in game.

To add I don't see what the crazy fuss is about. I think it is pretty cool that some of these factions still exist today.

You cant have a faction before the game was made >.>

You can have a group of people who are going to make a faction when the game is released, but you cant make a faction before the game is made you have no faction tags

It makes no sense having a faction before the game was even created thats just silly.
