It's been way too long since I've last played TS2 so I wanna give Redfox a try (I have tried it a few years ago but honestly don't remember anything). I'd only like to know how's the player base here and which faction I should join. I've never been Jin so I was thinking about it. The city is ugly tho lmao
Not going to lie, when I decided on a faction, hometown aesthetics played a big role for me as well. That's why I went with Guan. In terms of faction balance, I've only been playing for a week but it seems to me that it's pretty even between Jin and Guan. So I think as long as you pick one of those you should be fine. Again I've only been playing for a week, so I could be completely wrong about this. Guan player base is good. I've seen a few negative comments about them, but they've been super helpful. A few have helped me during the leveling process by lending me their 200% pets until I can get my hands on my own. I can't comment on Jin/Fujin player base since I haven't experienced it for myself.
