[2021] What happens to my old Faction Standing?

Hello!

As I’m sure some of you are wondering, we do intend on converting Faction Standing from the old Faction Warfare to the new Faction Warfare.

This conversion process is as follows:

• When enlisting with a Faction for the first time, your standing with that Faction will be converted without the normal conversion penalty. This means that there will be absolutely no loss of your old Faction Standing’s contribution to your progress in the new Faction Warfare.
  
  • HOWEVER: This complete conversion can only be used once. When enlisting with a Faction, standing with other Factions will be set to zero. Please be certain when making your choice about which Faction to enlist with as this decision can’t be undone without any loss of Faction Standing.
    
  • As the Caerleon faction is new, players have no Faction Standing with there. If a player joins Caerleon they must start from zero like everyone else joining Caerleon. This will also result in your other Factions going to zero.
    
• As the patch notes say, there are non-prestige ranks and prestige ranks with the five original Factions. We wanted to make sure we gave you as much progress as possible for the old Standing, so if you were maximum rank in the old Faction Warfare you will be set to the maximum non-prestige rank in the new Faction Warfare (Rank 12).
  
• Any active Faction flags will be removed during the downtime, as you are unable to flag without enlisting with a Faction first.
  

As a reminder, we’ll also have another round of free player and guild island moves. You’ll be able to relocate your island to your chosen faction’s city (or anywhere else) once for free.

Thanks for your time, and we look forward to seeing you on the battlefield once the update goes live!
