This server IS NOT ACTIVE YET, it is in active development! This post is only to draw attention to the Discord server for it, so that people who have an interest in this type of server can keep abreast of updates and launch announcements. Here is a link to join the Discord - note: It will ask you to select an allegiance to a Kingdom or Barbarians, and this is not permanent - just pick one and it can be changed later https://discord.gg/xxaHGttykY
Side note, I am Lothens, the server admin and I have no idea why the username here is Lielu but I can't change it apparently... The basic concept of this server is that it mixes PVE and PVP by adding in Role Play aspects, such as a player who is a member of a Kingdom MUST have a legitimate reason before attacking another player. This could be as simple as their Kingdoms are at war, or as complicated as one player taunts or insults the other in game, and blood is spilled because of it. KEEP IN MIND - simply taunting or insulting another player DOES NOT give you the ability to attack them, it would take the player being taunted/insulted to initiate an aggressive response.
The alternate to being in a Kingdom is to select None (hopefully it will say Barbarian) when creating your character, which turns you into a Barbarian on the map. Barbarians have the freedom to attack anyone at any time for any reason (exception is griefing). They, however, have the disadvantage of not being allowed to purchase Templars to protect their deeds, or build Guard Towers to protect areas. They are literally wandering players who are unpredictable, and interactions with them - even as another Barbarian - could go well and polite, or turn to bloodshed, it really could be anything happening. While at peace, Kingdom members will enjoy a bit of happy PVE time - building their settlements, training skills, training combat on mobs in case war breaks out in the future, and generally being peaceful and enjoying that aspect of the game. They will of course, still have to be wary of Barbarians, who could attack without provocation individually or in a group perhaps.
