This will probably be long winded. So we all know this game is better with friends. I’ve been thinking of starting a dedicated server and I’m looking for players who would be interested in something like this. It would be basically a server where there can be cities, towns, villages, clans, raids, trade, drama, employment, shops, kings, mercenaries, bounties, commissions that players can put out for other players to complete, prisons, kings/queens, events, tournaments, player built economy, guards, social events, etc. Almost like a little bit of RP but not as serious. Just to give a few examples of these things:
Cities
The world will be blank to begin with, but over time the players can develop a small village, eventually building it up to an entire city that can house multiple players, shops, town hall, prison, etc. Eventually there would be multiple cities that can start to trade for basic or hard to get resources, wage wars against each other, host events together like a dueling tournament or even as simple as a fishing competition. Eventually when the cities get big enough you can make it cost some in game money to get a home built in one of these cities.Trade
So players can basically barter and visit shops to buy items they might need or want. Some items can be sold at higher or lower prices depending on the location of the city, affecting the economy and making it possible for traders to profit.Laws
Players can live by the law or break them and risk getting jail time (a year can be a minute in-game or whatever makes sense). You can live your life as a thief, but if you’re sloppy you’ll pay some sort of penalty in game.Banishing
Players can get banished from a city or town for breaking too many rules, so if seen in that town and recognized, they’ll basically be wanted or something.Shops
Players can get licenses to open up a shop in a city and build up not only the economy but their own pockets. Shops can be robbed if not guarded, stuff like that.
I mean I can go on forever but basically a role playing game with Lore created by the actual players and affecting the laws and way of life of everyone in game. They’ll be a historical record of major events, like the death of a king, the sacking of a city, things like that.
It’s something I’m going to try to create, if anyone is interested or likes the idea I mean let’s talk about it.
