Joining a faction
Joining a faction is simple - Just go to the factions main spawn and join as a Nomad. You may not switch from another faction, and being in a faction locks you out during an on-going season.
To enter faction mode, use /factionmode. This is a seperate mode from job mode, and functions and features from your current job are not able to be done until you switch back. Everyone starts as the default faction - a Nomad. A nomad is able to join a faction by finding their faction base and applying at the icon.
Season lockout
If there is an ongoing season, you may not leave a faction.
