Theoretical RPG system

Kingdoms - Only have two (If you're bringing back origional kingdoms, then it would probably be Dustari and Zormite), keep it simple, this also solves the problem of other kingdoms "dying". The two kingdoms cannot be captured/destroyed (of course, attacking is okay) because, well, if they were, RPing would die pretty fast.

Forts - Turn Karakaze Caves, Ice Sarafan fort, Pirate Crew caverns and Samurai Castle into forts which can be captured in RP events, so that the balance of power among the kingdoms can change.

Of course, this only covers the fighting aspect of RPing.

Anyways, let the criticism and explaining of how this will never work begin .

I want basic RPing kingdoms back, personally. That is what drew a lot of people to keep coming back to 2k1; you'll notice that one of the earliest big drops in player count was when kingdoms became inactive/died.

I don't care as long as I get hat 24 XD.
I never really liked kingdoms though..they seemed to have too much power and could do anything so long as they called it "rping" even if it really wasn't. That and Kingdoms were too exclusive. And by too exclusive I don't mean I wasn't able to get in, because I don't deserve to be in a kingdom. My rping skills=horrible. But it was still extremely hard to get into.

I think you should have to join a kingdom at the start and once you have picked that's you.
The only way you can change is by an RC editing your account and you must have a valid reason for the change or both kingdom leaders can agree to let you switch.

It should only be 2 kingdoms like Googi said but they should not be Dustari and Zormite.
They should be 2 completly new kingdoms.
If it is older kingdoms I assume most people will just join Dustari so 2 new kingdoms will hopefully solve that.

Also as for the kingdom battles there should be buildings, small towns etc dotted about the overworld which the kingdoms can take over.
Once in the kingdoms possesion it becomes theirs untill it is taken over by the opposing kingdom.

If it is somelike like a store which sells bombs etc.
The owning kingdom of the store building may recieve 10 bombs for 10g whereas the kingdom which doesn't own it may have to pay 20g for 10 bombs.
The extra 10g the kingdom have to pay could go to the kingdom funds (kingdom which owns shop) for them to buy some sort of extra defense for their base.

And that's me finished rambling on for now.

This could be a good idea, but not alot of people come on 2k1 anymore

From what I have heard, 2k1 will start getting more people, just give it time.

Basically you guys want the whole server to be like 'Kingdoms' (the minigame on 2k1) where you can conquer other places and such.

Yeah . Only I don't like the "town" idea, because towns take up quite a bit of overworld space, and most of the overworld should be reserved for things related to stuff that isn't RPing.

The server will be free reign for RP in the future, but kingdom-type events will be related to event-games.

castles maibe

but my suggestion would be adding town

exampel: Zormite Town (Zormite ownz)


just as an exampel we can use other names of town.

And gates so people that are for exampel Dustari can go in to Zormite
