Hello, I just want to start off by introducing myself. I'm not really known in this community and my experience in this game is limited but ever since I saw the announcement for the MMO I've been salivating at the thought of epic, realistic medieval world building. I've been calling myself HappyJBH since I was 7 and fired up my Runescape account(don't worry, its been LONG dead) but my first name, Justin, is fine. 21yo, nerd for medieval history and everything involved.
I got into this game almost a year ago and played around with several groups, grinding out a blacksmith beserker character. It was fun but I felt the experience was lacking a bit with the standard socialist guild style. Join, grind out, guild provides everything you need... Which I understand that's what you need to do when starting out, work as a team and use resources to establish a strong, safe position. But once you reach a point where you are safe, and you have groups of people gathering and stocking high quality resources and finished goods, what then? Go out and fight, then die, come back and suit back up from the stockpile and arms and armor. Seems a bit of drag.
I want to see some feudalism, some economy, personal capital economy. I want to see people tilling the fields, selling their crops, getting coin and buying finished goods from the artisans. I want to see lower class paying rent to the noble land owners and I want to see noble land owner paying a portion of that in taxes to the highest lord in the land.
Like I said my experience is limited and I know that creating something like this will require people with experience and the willingness to devote a healthy amount of time to this.
I want to create a group like this; I want to first start off with a small settlement of course, a Barony, ran by a Baron. The beginning will be like any other clan/guild, everyone working together to establish a safe base. Once that's accomplished I want to start throwing some feudalism and economy. People won't just be apart of the group, they'll live here, they'll work to earn coin, pay rent, and build themselves up. Peasants, artisans, merchants, nobles, with the nobility being the most difficult to reach.
So I'm wanting to gauge the interest in this. If people are interested I'm going to throw up a discord where we can discuss and plan.
Also I put this here in the general discussion because I'm unsure of what server this should be created in. I'm American but most of my free time is in the midday so European might work better, especially with the significantly lower pop in the NA servers, but I'm not sure how badly the ping could affect me and other NA players so If you have insight please do tell.
Lastly, I just want to say that this isn't recruitment for a group because I don't have a group that exists. I just want to see if people would be interested in a group like this. If people are, I need folks that will help me organize and plan so the first wave of people will be high on the tree if this works out. Anything you have to say about this idea would be appreciated.
