Well here's one thing I'm working on for my faction system. Taxes.

I'm basically doing a mix of EA's, Everquest's and Soulless' faction systems. More factions than EA, heavy NPC influence and different town capture but many mechanics are borrow from EA.

What I am not copying is silver. For one I'm using Silver in my currency system. For another adding resources from PvP seemed silly. So how do factions get there money? When you control towns you can set a tax rate that applies to all purchases in town. This money goes directly to the faction treasury for use on improvements and specials. Players using faction vendors spend normal currency, they just need faction privledges. You can also simply donate money to your faction to gain reputation, obviously with some restricitons.

So controlling Britain is a damn goldmine. The prices are high but everybody goes there anyway because it's Britain and they sell everything. But if you over tax people may just boycott your town.

So instead of factions making money out of nothing they draw it off the main economy.
