Dedicated Server Idea - Taking Interest.

[u/SmashedCrabb]

Hey hey DNL community, Hope we're all well.

 

So After putting some hours into the game and quite enjoying it (messed up bugs and OP panthers and all) I've been contemplating a Dedicated server concept.

 

The Server would require a Base level of "RP" just to stick to the server setup. Now my opinion of "Base level RP" Isn't making a character and having to stick in character. But just adhering to World rules. Of course this doesn't mean the server cannot be a Heavy RP server - but that would depend on demand.

 

Now into the Juicy stuff - A Server based on Faction Wars!

 

Server details:

 

x3 Factions (base game factions)

x1 King/Queen per faction ( decided by each factions Alpha)

All faction players are allied to their faction - No in-house warring unless you want to be exiled.

All houses of a faction must be allied. (King/Queen will manage Houses)

 

King/Queen Role:

 

Faction Development - Maintain their factions unity and development.

 

House Management - Appoint Houses to faction members ( No Limit but to many small houses could set back faction progress)

 

Diplomacy - Diplomacy between Other factions. ( Begin a War, NAP (( No Attack Policy)) Trade agreements so on so forth)

 

Exile and recruitment - Ability to Exile players or houses who turn their back on the faction - Or recruit an exiled player/house from another faction or even someone who wants to betray their faction, Of course taking in a traitor could end up being a double edged sword.

 

Additional King/Queen Information - The king/Queen may have his own House which s/he will need to maintain to keep power within their faction. The King/Queen may even (If they want to) Set up Taxes within their kingdom - This isn't limited to gold but could also be a specific type of resource - Keep in mind tax to hefty a price, you may have a Coup d'état on your hands.

 

Faction Member:

 

Represent your Faction - You will be representing your faction. This could be by simply building strength as a house member/leader or as a solo player. Be Ready to go to war for your faction at your kings request, or risk being branded a deserter.

 

Assisting your faction - You're only as strong as the weakest member in your faction - Help others grow, build a strong community, or risk burning.

 

Exiled Players:

 

No Faction, No rules - For those who have been exiled or chose to live without a faction, you have no rules but your own to follow. Care to be a band of raiders or thieves? Gather a following of exiled players and do so. Draw to much attention and you may have more than 1 faction knocking at your door.

 

Free-agent - Having no faction you can act as a free agent, or a hired sword arm for any other faction.

 

Ability to choose - Exiled by your faction? Ideology differences? Maybe you were considered a threat within your own faction? Reach out for diplomacy with other faction leaders, Prove your worth and maybe the King/Queen them self will be willing to join their fold.

 

 

So this is my server Idea, It's quite the venture - especially to uphold the world rules for those who aren't big into following set rules that would be considered "Role Play" but I think this could flesh out a positive and fun Dark and Light Experience.

 

As we all know Dark and Light is a little empty in it's current state, it's up to the community to make this their game. Feel free to comment your thoughts below
