LEGO Minifigures Online is not likely going to incorporate Factions, unlike LEGO Universe before it. Factions were groups of players that each had unique abilities. However, with Minifigures to collect in this new MMO, there is no need for Funcom or the LEGO Group to implement Factions because each Minifigure is unique.

Player Commanded Alliances (Unofficial)
Although LEGO Minifigures Online probably won't add Factions to the game, many individuals are creating unofficial groups, alliances and factions for themselves and other players that wish to join. This is evident when analyzing the LEGO Message Boards. A comprehensive, voluntary list of these groups can be found here.
