Nodes

Diese Seite ist derzeit ein Entwurf.

Encompassing each server are carefully placed points of development called Nodes. Every node is given purview over a predefined Einflussbereich (ZOI).

Illustration of node advancement from expedition (stage 1) to metropolis (stage 6).

Entwicklung der Node

Player activity (questing, gathering, raiding, etc.) within this ZOI counts toward that particular Node’s advancement. There are six stages of node advancement.

1. Expedition (Few hours)
2. Feldlager (Many hours)
3. Dorf (Few days)
4. Stadt (Many days)
5. Großstadt (Few weeks)
6. Metropole (Many weeks)

The advancement of a node unlocks its unique content, which comes at the cost of locking out an increasing ring of neighboring nodes from progressing to the next stage.

Knotenpunkt-Regierung

A node's government and it's mayor are chosen depending on the node type.

• Divine node governments are chosen from citizens via service oriented quests that prove faith and dedication to the node.
• Economic node governments are able to be bought and sold by citizens with the most money.
• Military node governments are chosen from citizens through last man standing combat.
• Scientific node governments are elected democratically.

Guilds do not control nodes.

Node-Häuser

Purchasing in-node housing in an Alpha-1 village node.

Statische Behausungen provides non-instanced player accommodation within a node, also known as in-node housing.

• Players are able to purchase small one room houses (cottages) starting at the Dorf (Stufe 3).
  • There will be 8 cottages available for purchase at the village stage.
  • The amount of static housing increases as a normal part of node advancement.
• The architecture of static housing is predetermined by the racial influence of the node's layout and style.
• Tavernen and Player shops are not tied to in-node housing.
