Will one be able to play the same factions.... I see a potential problem in getting a game together if one can't. Furthermore is there gonna be a choice of faction called "random"?
If u don't know, post ya guesses here

That is a good point! I never thought of that. I guess, unless only 2-3 people are playing, that someone will get the shaft in 7player multiplayer games. It'll probaby whoever is quickest with their trusty mouse button,that gets the faction they want

??????????Chrisk?????????

I dunno, I think it will really depend on how popular each Faction turns out to be. Here we have a decent sort of spread between most Factions.
And also, I wouldn't particularly mind playing different Factions every now and then. So, BG the PK one day, BG the Spartan the next, heh heh. Depending on no's, I don't think it would be a problem.
I'd tend to pre-arrange games on a board. Jump on, see what games are in the process of being set up, and see if I could jump in anywhere. Hopefully there'll be some way to do that. Otherwise, if it is first in best dressed, it could suck. Esp if you have to join a game with no knowledge of which Factions are taken, and which aren't.
As for multiple Factions. Hmm. I tend to think not - but you never know I suppose.
