Who deserves a castle??

  • I think we should give a castle to myself and @nagash.

    The Lord of Bones and The Lord of Big... Laughs, together in a castle sounds like a very fertile ground for epic times.

    Since the illustrious Guild Fair is starting soon, which guilds do you think are going to occupy each of the five castles on your server? Please explain your reasoning. There are only five castles per server, so choose wisely!

    Rule: You may not name your own guild.

    Feel free to reserve your answer until after the fair. 
    I currently know of 1 other SEA guild... haha. So I'm guessing Exiled. 
  • I think the person who contributes the most to the node deserves the castle. :D

    CHIMNEY TOP!

    WINDOW!
    see now compare my castle to a orks and you see why the dead alway win 
    Yes, but the Orcs are MUCH better at interior design *sagenod. Runs*
  • In my experience, the top 2-3 largest/strongest PvP focused guilds will have the ownership of castles. The rest of the castles will be controlled by who those "powerhouse" guilds dictate.

    Of the current guilds I don't think any will have a castle, by launch (2-3yrs out) I doubt any of the current guilds will be around in enough force to secure them.  It is highly likely that 3-6mo before launch the hard core guilds will open recruitment and start taking names.
    Idk anymore tbh there's this one uber guild on the forums advocating for an increase or removal of the guild members cap... If their not lying they could probably take a couple nodes without much hindrance from anyone in particular. I hope your count is right though really keep the game as the "free for all" it's supposed to be.
  • @Bannith there is no way a cap is being removed. They will be forced to be in an alliance and to be honest it would work out better for them that way.
  • Nobody deserves a castle, you either earn it or gtf out!  :D
  • Those member capped guilds deserve (to lose) one.

    Those who can take it by either outsmarting their opponents or taking it by force. Those are the ones that deserve a castle.
  • You guys can fight over the castles under the sky....  I'll be searching for one under the ground!  ;)

    I'm not sure we of the Tulnar would be willing to share...
  • I'm pretty sure from the way IS describes it, Castles will be difficult to defend by design as the three defensive nodes surrounding them are each capped at stage 4. 

    The castle walls shall crumble to the onslaught of the angry masses.
  • Blue Dawn and Codex for sure.
  • Podcast Interview w/Creative Director Steven Sharif   mark 52:38
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCvcB4S-tZM&t=3069s 

    STEVEN: Castles exert control, to a degree, over the economies of Nodes under its influence. There are, as it stands now, 5 castles in the game and those castles have a domain that they control, to a degree.
    Owning a castle, the guild may be able to allocate some of those taxes for increasing defense spending in Nodes separate from the Node's taxation policies and coffers, they may activate certain events and abilities that can progress citizens of certain Nodes, they may unlock certain types of buildings.
    Castles have dedicated nodes around the castle that exist outside of the Node system that's buildable to a certain stage (Stage 4?) by the guild that owns the castle and the guilds that are in an alliance with that castle.
    There are a lot of different mechanics that relate to our castle system.
  • nobody deserves anything.. they'll have to fight for it!! >:)

    That's so true ! You got to earn it through hard work, preparation, teamwork and a little luck ^^
  • @Karthos
    I don't think you talked to us, I know this because I saw you post about L2 being your favorite MMO and I have been keeping an eye out for fellow L2 veterans
    I too have a L2 background, although I was a young teenager when I finally picked it up and plebbed my way through it! It'd be great to chat with some guys with similar gaming history!

    On topic, the dead require no castles!

    This is a futile thread.

    The reason I say this is because the major PvP guilds that will very likely be playing this game (as they have been moving through all major PvP games) aren't even attending the fair.

    These guilds (gaming communities) will appear closer to alpha / beta stage, and the release itself. Those guilds will get the castles.

    I disagree. It sounds like this game's sieges will hinge on more than just PvP. There will be resources needed for upkeep, a bank roll and merely just having good fighters won't count for much in any part but the fighting. 

    Being good at PvP will sure help, but it's not going to be the end all and be all.

    @Karthos still, I think it's way to early to vote on this, since there will be so many new guilds appearing (not only pvp guilds) that voting now really doesn't mean anything. :)

    This is the reason I have yet to commit to a single guild myself :)

    I so wish we could burn down castles and usurp the rulers.
  • I think we should all have castles! Castles for you! Castles for me! Castles everywhere! WEEEEE  :p

    You get a castle! and you get a castle! Everyone is getting a castle!
  • I don't really care who owns the castle, all I know is that whoever does will be my target to ruin.

  • Every man's home is his "castle"
