powerful kings in player kingdoms???

will there be the possibility of becoming a powerful king of a vast kingdom thats completely player made? within the kingdom will be seperate guild clans but all loyal to the king and under his rule? that would be awesome.  what if the king made all the guild leaders pay taxes to upkeep the city?? wow!   and if they didn't they would face punishment or kicked out.  



would the king get to have king gear like capes and and crown?? and can you even build a castle! if this game had all this, then this would be freakin awesome...  i guess the king would have to deal with the economics mostly of his kingdom and be the one to talk to other kings for alliances and or declaring war, settling disputes  among guilds.



so yeah.. is it possible to become an official king.

    I don't think it would be possible to become a King persay, but you could be a Guild leader that has taken over a lot of peoples guild cities and make an empire with a tonnn of people in your guild. Maybe there will be craftable items that will look like King clothing.

    If you are that powerful as a guildleader, just claim yourself as a king              I would.

    And who can argue with you, and the devs will love it

    Be the first lvl 80 player, become the guild leader of the largest guild on that server, and choose the "Lord" prestige class. You are now the current undisputed ruler of that server. Enjoy.

    The only thing I am afraid of is if there is a guild out there that is going to be like a monopoly.  How will the little guys defeat the big bad wolves?

    Same way it's done in EVE. Corporate espionage, theives, infighting and plain boredom.

    They have talked about making pvp only available(sieges) during certain prime time hours based on location of the server time zone, so that there are no 3 o clock in the morning pirate siegers.

    How did the fins win over sovjet in the winter war? How did North Vietnam manage to inflict serious casualties on the americans during the vietnam war, and how does insurgents manage to engage US troopers in Iraq currently? Guerilla war ofcourse. The bigger the kingdom is, the harder it'll be to defend. Use wits, not brute strength.

    Diplomacy is a form of PvP :)



    Form alliances, spread rumours, send your spies, sabotage and so on. Someone who mentioned EVE is quite right, not everything has to be build in game mechanics when it is not against AI you are fighting.

    When they add server forums on the official site, declare yourself king and challenge everyone to take you down.

    wow this sandbox type gameplay is awesome i guess thats why people love eve so much... even tho ive never tried it.  maybe if its a good king and well liked and manage the city pretty well people wont revolt..





    and all the smaller guilds can form a temporary alliance to topple the monoply king...





    if the server is completely dominated by a powerful guild or self proclaimed kingdom the devs could reset the server???

    I think it would be more than likely that the lesser guilds and players get together and take him down.

    If you build your city near the Border Kingdoms then it will be under attack by NPC but not other players, if you build your city outside of the border kingdoms (e.g anywere else) you can then be attacked by player cities.

     



    -Take part in massive and epic PvP battles, and fight for the right to control large battlekeeps in the Border Kingdom

    -Build your own guild city in regions outside of the Border Kingdom, and protect it from computer-controlled invaders

    -Engage in brutal PvP mini-games such as last-man-standing

    -Fight it out in the unique PvP form called drunken brawling -- get drunk, stir up trouble and make mayhem as you crush your enemy with fists, tankards and broken table-legs

    -Earn Blood Money, a separate PvP currency which can only be gained on the battlefield. Crush your enemies and use the riches to acquire benefits

    -Let the catapults sing their merry song of death as you defend your battlekeep with siege engines, or destroy your enemies' fortifications with the same means

    you can read more about it here

    *Whispers*  Its for the average people I am concerned about  Not sure i understand that answer correctly.

    If the little man strive to leave his mark on the world, it takes a whole lot more than it would take for the big bad wolfs. You really have to fight for it, plan, and be dedicated. You won't get insta gratification.
