Shadowbane has several NPC cities and safeholds. For this idea i was thinkng more about SDR and the potential huge battles that could be fought there.
What if during the Server's "primetime" an SDR like (high loevel safehold city) became a pvp area. SDR would look more like a castle though so it is more defensible. Every guild, if they chose, on the server could come to SDR at this time to fight over control of the city for the next week. Controlling the city would allow the guild to get a % of the total money spent on gear/repairs and maybe other sweet stuff that I cant think of at this time. Im sure that 10% of the total gold spent at SDR on gear and repairs would amount to be in the millions.
Now my idea on how to determine who the winner is alittle rough at this point but here goes:
Make "SDR" open to teleporting for the hour before the city goes live so that all guilds and nations can group there and prep. When the city goes "live" it seals itself off so that once you die the only way to get back is by way of your own nation summoning you back. Th last guild standing when the window closes or something along those lines gets the city.
Its a rough idea atm, but i think that it would lead to some really intense pvp.
PS: when considering what kind of lag this would create please do not use the SB servers as the bench mark.
