Official Factions
A PLATINUM FIVE-sanctioned program run by the Faction Department in cooperation with the Community Manager and Development Team.
Recognizing the community’s best factions.
Started in 2019, the Officialization Program adds active factions that have contributed to the growth of the faction community. It legitimizes factions for their consistent quality and activity, and sets the standard for how a community-first faction should be positioned within the PLATINUM FIVE faction community.
The program has officialized 17 factions throughout its run. As of January 2026, 4 factions hold official status.
