Terulia isn't going to have Player-run Kingdoms.

You'll be able to join one of three NPC Kingdoms:
-Denedors
-Salamar
-Elvewyn

There is a difference between kingdoms and domains.

_________________________________________

True, guess I'll be rewriting my forum once Terulia is up, and just tweak and improve from there like I always do.

_________________________________________

No offense to Gaku if hes trying to keep out kingdoms, but a ban of players that train and live and hunt together that give themselves a specfic name...can that really be controlled?

_________________________________________

Yeah, look at Norkia and Elyk's whatever the hell he called himself.

They were never official but always grouped together (Norkia finally did become official at one point).



I do agree in one sense though. If there are three straight up kingdoms then what can friends call themselves that group together? Will we have guilds to replace that aspect or what?

_________________________________________

"Guilds" or "Whatever-groups-want-to-call-themselves" can make their own forums here.
There's no longer any reason to require official recognition of player-run kingdoms or to restrict them in any way.

_________________________________________

That will be interesting... I'm curious as to how these three kingdoms will be run, will you be picking one from character creation and will it have an effect on how you are actually playing during the game? Kingdom bonuses, kingdom specific aspects, things like that?

_________________________________________

Cea's comment would make a great aspect of the game. Allowing diffrent bonuses or something along those lines would add alot of depth to the game.

_________________________________________

Bonuses have been discussed for winning battles against other kingdoms or completing missions or something. Nothing really in depth. I'd hate to see people get certain bonuses for just "being in a kingdom" especially if bonuses were kingdom specific as that would not lead to balanced and fair kingdom selection.

_________________________________________

The only way I can see truly making it work is giving say one side a def bonus and one side a atk bonus. That way its give and take.

....but I like the idea none the less

_________________________________________

Yeah that's the big problem that comes up right away too. Everyone picking the winning side. It takes a lot of work to do kingdom bonuses like that. You could still do specific kingdom things like starting spawn points and maybe some kingdom-only items but other then that it would be hella lot of work to maintain an equal number of members when doing kingdom bonuses (not to mention we have to look at the size of the game, not THAT big).

_________________________________________

How about, at the beginning of a battle/siege/mission whatever the winning side gets a small and temporary stat boost. But should the losing side manage to survive for a set period of time they get a temporary (shorter) stat boost (larger)? Or something to that effect.

_________________________________________

I like it a whole lot better now that player groups aren't counted as kingdoms. It makes a lot of things much more believable. Also means not every domain the world can be completely wasted (unless players can attack and destroy kingdoms).

_________________________________________

If Gaku has been playing GO as much as I know he has he'll probably have each Kingdom with a castle that can't be conquered then a ton of separate domains that can be passed around with warfare. :D

(In Galaxy Online each faction has a set of galaxies the other factions can not reach no matter what, then a whole BUNCH of galaxies that are open for battle)

_________________________________________

Nah, Kingdom bonuses will result in one kingdom getting more members than it should. Remember the Domain Bonuses? Giant's Helm had +20% to all stats at one point, and the massive amount of players grouped there meant they had more than enough EXP to keep those bonuses maxed out.

On Kingdom-Only items, that better be "Obtainable only through the Kingdom" as opposed to "Can only be wielded by members of the Kingdom."

_________________________________________

A kingdom that has too many members could always be automatically closed by the game until the other kingdoms gain more members.


Either way, I like the idea. There could be periodic kingdom wars. :D

_________________________________________

i agree on the wars, TKW1!( Terulia Kingdom war 1 )
