Once the HUB is released I will change the protection sistem in the Factions Server and it will work like this: There won't be "Private" chests anymore, your chests will be protected by Factions protection. If you are in a faction, and you place a chest in your faction territory, you will be the only one to be able to open it (unless you make an exception with a command). But, if you place a chest in the Wilderness or another faction claims your faction's territory, everyone will be able to open it :twisted: This will make Faction's territories and Power much more important and it will increase the fun of raiding factions.
However, another of the big modifications that are going to be made, is that factions will run with economy too. As more money your faction has, more power you have (and u will be able to claim more territory), etc. And there will be Players balance and Factions balance...
