Official PvP General Discussion Thread, Part I

[Archduke Greens]

I would imagine players are looking for a certain amount of stability in a faction, and don't want to join a faction that changes it's name/reimagines itself every other day. Maybe something to think about.

Indeed. I hate to make it sound like propaganda, but the Northmen have stuck through thick and thin to make the Northmen a strong faction. Starting with 3 members and losing a hell of a lot along the way, we've now got 14 strong and active members.

[Aanker]

The irony behind it all is that the currently most powerful faction on the server is also one of the most peaceful.

[Diglytron]

can someone make a current version could be usefull.

[Ramashan]

I need to start taking some screenies of my travels. Yesterday I walked through and around this huge castle in the South. Nice work. I left a little shrine for future travelers to pay their respects.

[Magister Militum Flavius Aetius]

Huge castle - tell me was it at 5000, -1400?

[Ramashan]

I don't look at coordinates. It was almost directly south from the Safe Zone, to the west of a great snow field and had a really cool looking waterfall just to the north of it on the coast that I swam in

[Magicman2051]

There are several such in the South, though none even remotely close to those Coord's

[Ramashan]

Now, I got right up to the walls and then into a portion of the place and never saw anything that said it was claimed. What are the rules here? Assume it's claimed land and respect it? I guess being found inside by anyone would make it fair game to attack me huh?

[Magicman2051]

Generally speaking the rules are as you stated, however destroying for the sake of destruction isn't necessarily against the rules as it is against the spirit of the server. Ultimately what you do is up to you though

[Ramashan]

I'm more of an explorer than a destroyer. Only things I'm destroying are the blocks as I mine and farm beneath the ground. Thanks Decado.

It could've been parts of the former Vroengarde base, which doesn't exist anymore as a faction. Post some screenshots. If so, you could probably freely set up base in it.

[Magister Militum Flavius Aetius]

Sounds like vroengarde, could be the old Legion base

[Ramashan]

Yeah, I just never think about screenshots as I wander around, constantly on the alert for inhabitants. Gotta get better at that. It's a cool Citadel. A shame it's empty.

Hardly anyone will attack you just for walking around, you shouldn't be so scared of people.

Perhaps the only faction that would are the Stalkers, and it would be very rare to come across one.

I'm actually aware of that. Just with all the talk about death near the faction citadels, it's just best to play it safe.

Should Brotherhood summer camps start popping up I crudely made this

The Brotherhood actually appears to be quite tolerant unless you blatantly walk right into their citadel. The Northmen less so, though they have publicly declared that you can visit if you make your intentions clear from the start. The Order I am not quite certain of, neither do I know the stance of the Etat d'Lor or the Romans on the matter, but I would not suspect either are especially hard on travellers.

Seeing as we are located so far south, the Dwarven Empire has never really had a problem with random people popping up to visit us while we are online, but we do offer guided tours of the complete sections of our halls and allow the opening of embassies in the Foreigner's City, though none such exist yet.

Naturally, appearing unannounced inside our territory will be greeted with warnings and eventually, if the unwanted visitor persists, hostility. I believe that is standard faction procedure, though.

[Sharzak]

The Brotherhood are quite friendly. I strolled into their citadel yesterday unannounced and they didn't have any problems, but then again I'm polite and handsome.

Any word on letting Sev and I operate that hotel on the riverside, Bretheren?

You seem like the kind of person that shows up empty handed and leaves with his pockets full.

[Benz282]

The Order I am not quite certain of...

When our current projects are completed, we will invite people to visit for a quick tour.
