Reward from devs to long time playing factions
Kilgore:
Well, aside from the cooperation part, the big problem is that as soon as you will do something in favor of one players group, another one will shout that it's not fair and abuse and so on. So, again bitching received. But still I believe that some sort of cooperation between devs and players, in order to add/change some game content, basing on what's happening in the game, would improve overall gameplay, at least in long term.
Anyway, changing anything in the game demands time and work, so it wouldn't be easy. You'd make a simple thing like an update of the server and there would be another crowd shouting "omahgad wipe!!!!111" and few people posting threads "server is down", only to add some more work for you :P

Thank you. :-*
I said all this through the course of this thread but people seem to be illiterate or just skim posts, so reading the keypoints again through someone elses words who knows what he is doing can never hurt.

Hahah, pure truth! We agree on that completely.

Now this doesn't sound bad to me, as it would be actually based on the in-game events and power struggles (the history that is written in every era) instead of how long certain gangs have been around. Like you said, if devs "give" something to a faction, others will whine, but things like statues or some other kind of monument (just to give an example) shouldn't hurt anybody as they don't give any real benefit.

Where to draw the line? You're making yourself more important than you are. Sure it's cool that your gang has a long history on this server, but so what? This is not a reason to "reward" anything. It may be surprising for you, but even if you "leave" because of the lack of "rewards" for you, the world keeps on turning, you know.

I agree, devs playing favorites with factions is a bad idea. Same bases/opportunities should be open for all factions. Faction X should not get special treatment/skins because they want to pretend(RP) to be unity or some other BS.

Read 1st word of topic's name.
Reward
What a problem, it's easy to solve!
All famous gangs of 2238 server getting thier reward. Atleast a harmless graffiti.
Then some unkown for 2238 communty gang says:
"We want graffiti too, because we're cool! We did nothing, but we want graffiti, because... because we want graffiti and that's all!"
Are they famous? No. How to solve this problem? Call Surf, he'll explain everything to them with this sentence!

They start crying? "Mimimi. We want graffiti!"
Call Surf!

Problems?
Let them become famous, do some action on server, then may be community would know about that super-puper gang, and then they can make graffiti themselves, and then don't call Surf and let them have thier graffiti.
If someone will say it's unfair, it's thier problems.
And again, even now, with current version, without some engine tweaks you can make graffiti without changing maps or doing something with them, just use alternative, make graffiti art displaced on north-west or north-east from it's center, then spawn some object with this art infront of wall, and graffiti will cover that wall at north-west or north-east, without changing map itself if it's critter, and don't do any displacement if it's an item, because items can be placed into walls, the only problem is that it'll be invisible when it's out of your FoV.
