The Evolution of the Servers

All of us start out on a server that looks like this:

The bubble around the kingdom indicates they are protected. This protection lasts 40 days. What it does is it gives newer players time to develop without having to worry about Whales invading. In the picture above, we see Kingdom 398 they have just over 33 days of protection remaining. Only Characters on Kingdoms that come after (like 399) will be able to relocate to them while they are in the full bubble.

Next we have a Semi-Open Kingdom:

Semi-Open Kingdom status lasts from day 41-180 of the servers life. Only Lords and Ladies from Protected Kingdoms or other Semi open kingdoms can relocate to these. This is again, to help the players to be able to develop and advance without worrying about much bigger players coming in.

The Final Form of Server Evolution:

Here we have my current home, 276. We are a fully open kingdom. If you got the relocation scrolls you can move here... However, it is not quite that simple. Each server will have its own rules. Some rules come from the King of the Server and others will be from the Duke of your alliance. The King is the top dog and will generally be a very powerful player. Our King is Vangark. He is a very strong and an excellent strategist. He is very generous and allows my Alliance all of the Great Castles, except for Kings Landing. He is fair will his rules, but will not hesitate to burn those who do not listen and has kicked entire alliances from the server. He actually conquered our server before I moved there lol. There are some who still harbor some feelings about our cooperation with the King. My alliance, UnC works with the King during server events like KVK or Night King. We have a strong and friendly relationship.

But it is not all Sunshine and Roses...Meet the server I was born on:

Kingdom 364. The current king EvilGunner. While we were still a semi open kingdom, there were many alliances here. It was common to have non aggression pacts with friendly alliances. But that was when W1n was the ruling alliance. EvilGunner had hopped around to many different alliances always causing issues for breaking NAPS (non aggression pacts) basically being THAT GUY. Once he cycled through all the bigger alliances, he branched out and decided to make his own. He recruited a strong player from W1n, Dovakin and they proceeded to begin to burn the server. They attacked people constantly. Some were attacked because EG wanted them to join him. Reminiscent of the Rough Wooing of history. Some people were attacked because they were weak (me, I am some people lol). In the end EG took the Kingdom from W1n. EG would make NAPs with the alliances that remained when the dust settled, but would break them immediately. Even during KvK while trying to take castles, Dovakin used the opportunity to attack the people from his own server. Thus began the exodus of players from 364.

I was in the first round of refugees. ch1r1sh was less than 40 million power and could not grow on 364. Mines were attacked, resources were attacked and please don't ever for a second be without a bubble. W1n was going to jump to my current home 276. They had a larger sister alliance there Hod that would help us develop and give us a safe place to land. So I left Nyv, went to W1n and moved from the only home I ever knew. Like Arya from the series, I had a list...

What happened next? Well you will just have to wait and see the Shenanigans that awaited me on 276 :) lol
