5 Years ago today, Mefke21 and I started on an adventure. After being a part of Honey Badgers, we decided to go out on our own and get our own faction. The Next Level was purchased as a dead shell with 1,077,xxx respect. We had a few friends follow us and started building our new home.

We were lucky enough to get a spot on the map pretty easily back in those days and started recruiting. For being an inexperienced faction leader I have to give a shout to Crazedone over at Chain Reaction for always giving me guidance and helping me out early on.

Our first year we only gained 700k respect, But had many members join who became our core players and a few who became leadership.

Our 2nd year we gained 1.7m respect more than doubling our first year. Then around the start of our 3rd year we found ourselves being removed from the map. NS needed the territorys we were on. So we found ourselves going east with Chain Reaction and carved out some territorys over there. CR was good to us and it was a great relationship. But when we ultimately felt we grew beyond being a proxy and they didn't. We found ourselves in Westworld where we are now. Within Westworld we have proven ourselves to be one of the best upcoming factions in the game. Along with being the most active faction not named Monarch.

We are currently sitting at 9.4m respect, We were one of the first factions to do a 50k chain. One of the first to do a 100k chain. Then we doubled it back and did another 100k the next year in faster time.

During these last 5 years, we have been one of the fastest growing factions in the game. Watching our members grow has been super enjoyable. Seeing the faction adapt when we got into RW and just overall becoming what we are today has been an amazing adventure,

At one point i took a year away from the game, and the other leaders here stepped up huge. Kept everything running smooth, kept the faction growing. Without the amazing crew we have here I could have never succeeded. Big thanks to Monchoon, Vanilanightmare, Kkaos420, Diabolicpickles, Mcgummy and Mefke21 for running the faction without me for so long.

Even though I am holding the gold fist, and leader of this faction. I could have never done it without the help of everyone else here. The amount of support I have received from others in leadership/council positions is tremendous. I just want to thank everyone in The Next Level for being as awesome as they are. All the current and past members who helped us make it this far.


While we are not yet a HOF faction, we are on the front steps getting ready to knock the door down. Interested to get the TNL experience yourself? Message us!

It was only 2 years ago (I think) I was stolen away from my home faction and since then have been trained be a merciless warrior to be thrown into the thick of battle. War after war, battle after each victory to only be rewarded with more bloodshed. This is my life now and I couldn't imagine going back now. Glad to be a small part of the faction it's the most fun I've had with torn.

TNL has been an amazing faction to be apart of. I will never regret the day I decided to see what other factions were like and landed on TNL. Spartans on the battlefield, great company, knowledgeable, reasonable, and determined. What a fantastic group.

Wrong forum, you want faction recruitment

As someone who just started a faction myself, I hope to be able to make a post like this in 5 years.

From the day I joined TNL at day 15 of playing Torn, I've seen many players grow like I have, I've made connections I couldn't think of playing this game without, and unfortunately I've shared heartache with the family I've developed here.

As it stands, I joined TNL as a no name scrub, was taught how to play and grow, have devoted countless hours and sleepless nights, earned achievements along side my TNL family, and consistently try to help Andrew with anything I can while pushing my brothers and sisters as their Co-Lead.

There isn't an achievement TNL has done I haven't witnessed and not much that TNL has decided to do that wasn't accomplished. I'm grateful that Andrew_616, Mefke, and the countless others that helped me along my way decided to take a chance on a gummy nub so long ago. I'm ready to see what we will do next!!

Big fan of watching TNL from the sidelines! Growth over there this last year especially has been crazy. GGs!

A great faction to be a part of. Great job to leadership and to all members. The growth of the facrion has been amazing even in the last year or so i have been here. I hope another 5+ years to come.
