Which faction should you join in New World Aeternum?
Numerous factors will influence your decision to choose the right factions in New World Aeternum:
Faction control and influence
One of the first and foremost factors that you should consider before joining a faction is their influence on your server. A faction's influence is dictated by its PvP prowess. So, the better a faction is at fighting, the more control they will have over the entire map.
Naturally, locate the most powerful factions, and make a note of where each of them stands in the hierarchy.

Social aspect
If you have friends playing on the server, you might want to discuss the different factions in New World Aeternum with them. Playing together is always more fun, and we urge you to join a faction that serves to benefit you and your entire group.
In conclusion, each faction has its own pros and cons. After you examine what each of them has to offer, and whether it aligns with your gameplay and path of progression, you can choose one of these three factions in the game.
