It has multiworld support, just not of the kind that you're thinking of. You can claim land on multiple worlds.

Factions and Towny are completely different as far as gameplay goes.
Factions is much better for a PvP server. Depending on how you set it up, it can work for a survival server as well, but land claiming and such works better for PvP.
Towny is much better for survival. Depending on setup, it can work for PvP, but massive wars are limited. You can kill each other, sure, but it's fairly rare to have war actually declared. Towny is, like BONNe said, good for economy servers as well.
I also find the type of players each attracts to be different. I find Factions (no offense intended to anyone) tends to attract the less savory players, griefers and the like. Towny tends to attract those who like to actually play the game to build, not to destroy others' creations.

Posted May 8, 2012You are absolutly right :D
Factions is a bit easier as Towny... And it have userfrendly commands...
But Towny is more advanced and better for server with strong economy. Factions ir better for PvP servers... but that is only my thoughts :D

Posted May 8, 2012I couldn't find if this has multiworld support. But it would be really cool if you could add the function to be part of a different faction in another world. And/or have the same faction but be able to make claims in 2 world without them taking claims in the first world. And if you could add separate prices for the different worlds

First 2 ideas are great, and third one is good, but you can set it also now... You can give power anyone :)

Posted May 8, 2012Here are some suggestion/idea that could be useful:
There is a way that terrain cost more (multiplier), but we would also need a way to set a max, so when the price reach X for a terrain, it stop increasing in price.
A way to have income that go to the faction bank, each terrain give X amount every minecraft day OR every 24 hour ( Both configuration available...)
A way to admin of the server to give ranks to people on the server, and with those rank, have more power. For example, i would like that veteran on my server has double power.

Posted May 8, 2012Hi!
I would like to configure my factions like this (sorry about my english):
For declare war, Faction "A" and Faction "B" need to declare war each other, BOTH.
Example:
Faction A declare WAR to Faction B
Faction B NOT DECLARE WAR to Faction B
They are in PEACE / Neutral
Faction A declare WAR to Faction B
and
Faction B declare War to Faction A
they are in WAR.
Is it possible ?!?!

That's a different one. Anyway, chat integration with Herochat has been improved by Olof for upcoming 1.7 builds.
@TheNoobLol
1. Read the FAQ.
2. Read the FAQ.
@dynamicdude
Olof (the original author) will remain, and I'm not planning to cease active development quite yet until we can retire the 1.6 builds in favor of 1.7/1.8.

Posted May 7, 2012I have an unfortunate announcement: since I've just closed down my own Minecraft server for various reasons (mostly boiling down to me not having enough time to devote to it), most of my motivation for working on Bukkit plugins is now gone. I most likely will not be actively developing any plugins I'm involved in from this point on. However, I still plan to maintain all plugins as needed for new Bukkit releases and minor bugfixes and such, I just probably won't be adding any major new features or answering much in the way of support questions.
The source will remain available for all plugins, and I'd welcome anyone to take up active development. For Factions, Cayorion / Olof (the original author and still constant contributor for the plugin) will of course remain to develop the plugin and will continue to run the Massivecraft server.
If anyone really wants a particular feature added to one of the plugins I've worked on, I will still consider doing sponsored feature requests; no promises, of course.
Also, for Factions, I plan to try to make sure the 1.7 branch is ready before halting active development on it. There will also be at least one more 1.6.x release before then, probably quite soon. So, this announcement is a bit in advance of me ceasing active development on Factions.
Sorry, guys. Again, I will at least try to bugfix and maintain my plugins for Bukkit updates, but that's about it.

Hopefully (as the user guide mentions) you have "[FACTION]" in your chat config for Essentials?
@vJuggerz
The reason should be indicated in your server log files, probably either at server startup or at server shutdown.
