Yeah I can't wait until the website launches. However when it is launched will we have to remake our acounts?

No. To make it easiest on the members, once the website is released, all accounts and forum posts will be transferred over to the new website. So, don't worry about that.

Okay great, thank you tom.

On the screenshot showing the faction rankings, I noticed that there were some factions missing. These were the Knights of the Nine, Nine Divines, and the Court of Madness. These are all added by expansions, so the reason they're not on the list might be that you haven't selected that you have them. Also, you're missing the Mythic Dawn faction. You join this shortly during the Main Quest. I'm not sure if you want to include this or not, but you have the Blackwood Company whose membership is similar to that of the Mythic Dawn.

I wasn't sure which factions were added by expansions, so I just added the basic factions that are part of the regular game. I think it would be a good idea to add other factions, but I don't know what the ranks in each faction are when the expansions are installed. Also, which factions are enabled by expansions and mods? All of them? If you can find some of this out for me, please, I would very much appreciate it!

I was thinking about that very thing, and I don't know why I chose to add one and not the other. I suppose I could just add them both since some people might not complete the quest that gets them "kicked" out of those factions right away.

Ah, cool. Thanks, Teinaava. Yeah, I saw those factions there, I guess it makes sense to add them since those mods are from Bethesda.

[Tom]

I don't think I plan to add any factions that are introduced to Oblivion by unofficial mods, though. I'm sure people can understand that. If they really want to post what their rank is in a faction is that was introduced by an unofficial mod, they can always just post it in their character's Comments area.

[Xavier]

Yeah, I was thinking that too.

[Teinaava]

I agree with only adding factions from official mods. Also, in case you are wondering, the ranks you can get in the Mythic Dawn are "Initiate" and "Acolyte".
