The MMO New World celebrated its release on September 28, 2021. A central feature of the game is the choice of faction from level 10. But which factions are there and which should you choose? We at MeinMMO give you the information.

Why is the election so important? The battles in the open world and the wars for fortresses are directly related to the factions. All three fight each other. There are also special faction missions that are slightly different.

By joining a faction you are bound to it with this character. You can only change faction every 120 days and not into the strongest faction on the server. The only alternative is to delete the character and recreate it. Since guilds are also tied to a faction, you should choose them carefully.
Do you have to choose a faction? No, theoretically the quest can be ignored at level 10. However, you will then not be able to take part in open-world PvP, faction quests and fortress wars.

This is the syndicate: The alchemists and magicians of New World gather in the syndicate. Game director Scot Lane describes her as a kind of “alternative version of Isaac Newton”. They are cunning, intellectual and in search of forbidden knowledge.
