OP FACTIONS C2 SEASON 3

Hey Everyone, back again for another update for OP Factions.

It was our goal for this season to lay the groundwork for ECPE to have balanced, yet challenging, gameplay. We have done so via an economy reset to begin, changes are not permanent and adjustments will continue to be made as time goes on. Our team has put a lot of effort into documenting features, reducing complexity, and incentivizing our server's player growth by rewarding you for helping us out.

We hope that you'll help us reach our goal of creating an inviting server for new players to discover.

Going forward, we will be shortening the length of OP Factions seasons from 3-4 months to around 2 months. We will no longer be releasing big updates with new seasons and instead introduce them as we complete them and when possible.

I want to thank everyone who took the time to review the new balance changes and sent us feedback for how they felt about it.
