I found this timeline while scrolling through some old factions discord servers and thought I might share :) This timeline contains major events from Factions Realm 2 Season 5 which took place 2016-2017 before there were any set lengths for seasons. This timeline was created in 2018 so hopefully it is accurate! Week 1 Ftop: 1st Velocity, 2nd SharpVI, 3rd Fear SharpVI raids (Reverses) Velocity for Ftop Velocity Disbands Ftop: SharpVI, Fear, Raiden SharpVI holds ftop for 3 weeks Raiden (Shiv0801) hacks LonelySailor's (SharpVI Mod) account and steals everything/blows up base Raiden Holds ftop Raiden Insided (Unknown) Raiden Disbands Fear takes Ftop Ftop: Fear, SharpVI, Apex Corrupted and Deflect (Velocity split) comes to R2 Apex disbands and joins fear SharpVI insided by iWaffles for Corrupted (No value lost) SharpVI aided by Corrupted and Deflect win 15 KOTHS in a row. (Most Koths won in a row on r2 ever) Fear fails raiding deflect 8+ times Deflect Disbands Corrupted Disbands SharpVI insided (akaJared) SharpVI disbands Eden comes to R2 (Deflect, Corrupted and R1 players) Amity founded (akaKeller, akaJared) (Changes name to America) Ftop: Fear, Eden, Amity Eden takes ftop (700 Million > 600 Million) Eden raids fear and wipes their value Fear disbands Eden holds ftop Eden becomes 1st R2 faction to ever reach 1 billion in value fear (Eden alt faction) founded Final week ftop 1st: Eden - > 1 Billion 2nd America > 320 Million fear < 100 Million MAJOR R2 FACTION LEADERS AND MEMBERS Fear-Mitch4, NyanPug, Renh, Deadlines, Bou, Vow (Best ftop 600 million) SharpVI-MrWheels523, OfZelda, Vezprz, LonelySailor(akaKeller), Tini, Crih, Evova, xoHarambe(akaJared), Skpye, DrZomboss2468 (Best ftop 200 million) Velocity- vLlama, I_AMSATAN, sparklesmorgan, Creeperboy, Unknownfish58(best ftop around 50 million) Eden- Vkj, Imdonefirst, vLlama, I_AM_SATAN, sparklesmorgan, akaJared (Members changed throughout the season so I’m not sure who all was actually in this faction due to the amount of players that joined and left)(Best ftop over 1 billion) Raiden- Shiv0801, FluffyShark, deathstroke(Best ftop 20 Million) America/Amity- akaKeller, akaJared, akabird, AlluringBlue, meapers105, TBNR_Bender(Best ftop 320 million) It was absolutely insane finding this timeline. It brought back so many great memories for me and I hope it does for others. This timeline is obviously missing some details so if you remember S5 R2 add to this thread!
This is a fantastic piece of server history. Finding a detailed timeline like this buried in an old Discord server is like unearthing a digital fossil from the golden age of your community. It really captures the chaotic, emergent storytelling that makes factions servers so memorable. Looking at this, Season 5 was an absolute rollercoaster. The drama is incredible. You have the rise and fall of major powers like Velocity and SharpVI, only for them to be taken down by internal betrayal. The hacking of LonelySailor's account by Shiv0801 to steal everything is the kind of ruthless, high-stakes move that becomes legend. And the sheer persistence of Fear, failing to raid Deflect over eight times, is both hilarious and a testament to Deflect's defenses. The numbers tell a story too. Seeing the "Best Ftop" values climb from Velocity's 50 million to Eden shattering the billion mark shows how the season's economy and power scale evolved. It also highlights the constant merging and shifting of power—Apex joining Fear, Deflect and Corrupted aiding SharpVI, and then the remnants forming Eden. The lineage of players like vLlama, I_AM_SATAN, and akaJared moving between these top factions is like tracing the bloodlines of the server's royalty. For anyone who was there, this must be a time machine. It's more than just a list of events; it's the skeleton key to unlocking years-old memories of late-night raids, tense KOTH battles, and the bitter sting of an inside job. What a great find. It would be amazing if other veterans from that season could jump in and fill in the gaps, adding the smaller stories and personal anecdotes that make history come alive.
