City Cost

How much do you think our city would cost to make.
Put it in wow gold because i dont know what money will be used.
im guessing around 1000g

Im guessing higher and since theres a limited number of spaces per server we better hurry and get some money when the game comes out.

wow, yea we should hurry, im guessing everyone should just donate all the money they have. i know i will.

Well i think it's done on resoruce not money so i think we will have to built it up by mineing things but nothing is confirmed i think. And when there is no space the computer makes some more so think we can make one even if it takes forever. but dont quote me on that

sounds good, hope your right

We will take a very high guild tax when the game begins in order to acclaim enough resources to build our city quickly. I think its a mix of gold and resources? Gold to buy the deed and then resources for the buildings, buying the deed first is of course the most important. Once we have the land we can take our time building the city I think, though we have to be careful about the attacking NPC army too. (Which we will build lore around, don't worry )

Im fine with that... and good idea about the attackers ... so the tax will go to a guild bank then ?

I'm not sure how it works game mechanics wise, I just read on the official site that you can take guild taxes.. But I assume it would go to a guild bank yes.

Good good... then untill we get the deed i will send all the money i can ^^ (Acounting for armor/weapons)

So is it Stone Buildings and wooden buildings? oh and get a wall and gate first, that will help keep out the attackers

Yah, and everyone should try and contribute with something. Like gathering wood, stone or vise versa. i've got no idea how the gathering mechanics work but, neve the less... Khalid is going to be a "master" as prestiegeclass, so ppl with get bonuses when gathering atleast. Ppl should also plan to make an alt for hauling wood and stone if it be needed troughout the game.

each prestige class increases the collectable amount of a resource for example lord increases gold, crafter increases wood, etc. also if you are a master you have a little 'slave' that collects resources for you while you are offline. i am going to be a master

Good thing I've ordered Collectors edition... gives you free alcohol and a free pvp-mount at lvl 40^^

So i can save some gold there^^

Collectors edition here too ^^ Rhino ftw.

Well, if it's resourses we need. We should realy start and lan some joined resoursegathering events in game later, people gather up and everybody grind together, more fun that way. Done this a hundred of times on EVE online ^^

The game has many different kinds of rescources, if we are unlycky we need to get lots of different kinds of stone for example.

I haven't seen anything explaining how citycreation will work - anyone have a link to some info?

Well... this is the building progress...

well first of all sorry for posting because i know my application hasnt been accepted yet but,
in each server there will be arround 8 or 9 battlekeeps and i think the citys just keep going to instances so there is unlimited i think. and it costs wood, ores (including stone) and gold to build.
as everybody will probably know the money system is 100 tin = 1 copper, 100 copper = 1 silver and 100 silver = 1 gold. but aparently it can take a a couple of weeks to build a decent city if you have a lot of guild members working on it (guessing maybe 100-150+?) but otherwise it can take months to complete, also taking into consideration the NPC city that will also start production the same time as yours and if they get a baracks built, they stat to attack your city which can set it back if not handled well.

anyway thnx for reading, hope it helps

I'm definetly counting on it to take a couple of months, and we will make sure to work on defenses first, walls, barracks etc. We don't want to lose our city to npc's ^^ Anyone know how it works when you go to a city that isn't your guilds?

well in each server there ae instances where there will be a few different cities before it makes another instance. and when your inside somebody elses city you can use all the facilities like shops and the taverns and such, ive heard somewhere that the doors will have a "lock" option where they can be locked to the public but open to guild members. also the main city gate can be closed to stop non guild members entering. and i dont think the city will be lost to the NPC's if we get any sort of a head start, just take a couple rhynos and kick a couple buildings, trod on a few workmen and we'll have a large enough head start

Well both Jherica and I are getting pre ordered collectors editions ^^

i think i will probably be getting the collectors edition too, if i can get my college money early its a definate i was thinking about choosing the curved amazon bow as my choise of 1 of the 3 but i think it will be a waste, i think you can use it at level 40 but then after that it will become inferior at level 60 because there will be better bows. and the mounts would be good always. but then again as a ranger a mammoth and a rhyno arent much good to me.
but atleast id have them on alt characters

just found this video about city building. it also tells you the cost and some of the advantages of certain buildings

Could you link the video please?

You may already know this but noone has pointed it out. Basically I heard that there shouldnt be a problem with the NPC city building a barracks or seigeworks as they do not build certain things until we have built one. So for example the NPC city cannot build a barracks until we have built a barracks of our own.
