IDEAS FOR RYZOM

Aileya has created regional flags which create fun opportunities for being displayed in outposts, apartments and cities.

PVP fighting to "own" a region has been proposed before, coupled with this was the fact that teleporters would be switched off for non-owners, which many people didn't like. For example, Kamis take control of void which would disable the Karavan Teleporter.

I personally like the idea of fighting for a region, but would not want any teleports to be switched off as a result. This means people can participate if they want without any future negative implications for them if their side were to loose. So what would be the benefit? Well they would be two-fold: Fun and RP.

With the addition of your factions flags being put up around the region if you were to own it, people could claim they "own" a particular region. Something which the marauders have been trying to create whilst having fun with in our city attacks.

For the region to be shown as in turmoil I personally would like the whole region to be PVP enabled whilst a battle is going on. This would also make it easier to implement the fighting, rather than having to copy/replicate or make something similar to the OP tagging. I know many would be against this but you can easily avoid this zone for an hour or so if you do not wish to participate, just the same as the current PVP zones.

To talk about how a faction would go about declaring: I envision a declaration similar to an outpost, via a guild (for ease) and costing dappers. I think however the declaration should be anytime from 1h to 12h. This would allow small preparation having people have to respond to situations, much like the recent city attacks.

I was going to propose several ideas on the pvp mechanisms but to be honest could only think of one I actually liked. If you have any other ideas please feel free to post them! My idea was a "Destroy the Guard Towers" theme. When the time for the declare comes, small, attackable guard towers would spawn around the region. Or perhaps, the guard towers were already there and instead just become attackable (Instead of towers, the banners already in place could be attacked). The objective is to destroy all the towers within a certain time-frame, such as one hour.

Thanks for reading, any comments would be welcome.

EDIT: Based on feedback and comments Nexus seems like a perfect place for this. If you would like Nexus as a place for please factor this into your vote.
