I just want to add in a little something that im not sure many people are aware of, but a guild that has a battlekeep cannot attack another guild's battlekeep. I can see why they do this, to allow for the changing of hands every once in a while. Just wanted to give people a heads up as we move forward.

Kind of odd, I mean I guess we should be focusing on defense of our own castle but would be nice to crush someone elses hopes and dreams and then use the rubble to expand our kingdom.

Ah well, I'm sure in a casual enviroment just tending to our own Battle Keep will be interesting enough.

There was a lot said about the first known BattleKeep Siege. The balance isn't quite there, hopefully things to be fixed once we get ours.

Kaza

this is also why it would be wise of us to "practice" on other guilds battle keeps so we are not "practicing" defending our own

in other words, lets practice on their dime and not ours

Ya practice makes perfect. I don't really wanna rush out there and build one and then two days later it gets taken because we really don't know how to defend it. I'm not saying that would happen, but it could happen.

I really think that the no attacking if you have a battle keep will change. I don't see why you couldn't. If you had two castle's back in the day, they couldn't attack each other? They'd have to wait until some random small group of guys came by? Nah, this should change.

I think it is more a case that since there are a limited number of battlekeep "slots" available they do not want one powerful guild to roll the others and end up with a battlekeep monopoly.

no, they will let that happen among the alliance s:)

You realize, when you destroy a battlekeep. You receive a ton of resources, enough infact to build your own battlekeep on that spot...

I think that's Dao with the french accent.

Is this what our first siege will be like?
