MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master
chapter-177

Rudra hand been anxious the last few days , he had been pouring out huge sums of money to pretty much stock up on every single item special to Hazelgroove kingdom .

He was anticipating the next update notice , according to his past life memory , when majority of the player base finally reached tier 1 in strength that was the time when the next system update came.

He had been anticipating the update notice for the last 2 weeks now , and noticing the trend and average player levels , it should be anyday now.

The dynamic of the game would shift once the update came. Each major update in the game would change the game dynamics significantly. However the second system update was the most shocking one of them all.

Perhaps because it shifted to a more global structure, removing most of the disparities in the game.

And his speculation was indeed right , as the Update notice did come as expected.

SYSTEM NOTIFICATION : The second system update will be released in 72 hours at 10:00 am GMT real world time .

The new update features include:

1) Massive map update. NPC kingdoms will now be unlocked.

---> The NPC kingdoms will now be open for trade and interaction. The map will experience an overall massive update. Each NPC kingdom shall have its own set of rules and regulations. Some seemingly normal things may be a taboo in the particular kingdom and may result in heavy punishments.

Note : If the NPC kingdom is not favourable to you , they may deny you entry at border. Illegal immigration if caught will lead to a 15 day imprisonment .

The NPC kingdoms had opened up for trade and interaction. Most of the NPC kingdoms were in higher level grounds. Level 100 maps or above , hence apart from the established safe routes into the kingdom , infiltration from the wild would mostly lead to death.

Incase of illegal entry , if the player was caught then it would lead to a 15 day compulsory imprisonment.

And Rudra's experience told him that 1/3 illegal immigrant were caught.

Also just like real world the NPC kingdoms would also have an immigration system. Unless you were on friendly terms with the kingdom or the ruling race , you may not be given entry into the kingdom.

If your guild had notoriety in the kingdom , you may be black-flagged , or even hunted at the border.

2) Introducing Guild City's : A short while after the update , a massive event will take place where guilds would compete to gain management rights over city.

-----> The guild successful in obtaining the management rights , would become the overlord of the city paying a fixed annual income to the kingdom and the central government , while collecting taxes from the citizens of the City.

They will have their own army regiment depending on the size of the city, and can develop the city as they please.

The overall living environment , public security , health and hygiene , culture , cost of living. These factors would either drive away NPC population decreasing tax income , or increase the influx depending on how the city is managed.

The rights of management may be revoked if the annual payment is not made or the public order falls below a certain level , causing riots.

NOTE : A guild may gain management rights to only one city for now!

Rudra had long been preparing for this event , he knew the importance of gaining management rights , he knew the importance of gaining a good city as his base. Even though it is only one city per guild in this expansion pack it would not stay soo forever. Kingdom building would become a huge part of the game going forward. And to be successful and competitive , they needed to do a good job with it.

Everything from the most basic village to the capital city , would be up for the challenge sometime later. Probably a month or so after the second update.

3) Introducing Teleportation arrays : Teleportation arrays can be built in your territories after gaining management rights to it. The teleportation array will let you travel Throughout the continent , to whichever city that also has a teleporting array for a fee.

Many NPC kingdoms will also have teleporting facilities. It is the fastest and safest way to travel. But it may be expensive.

Note : Managing guilds can set the price of entry into their city through teleporting arrays, it can be a great source of income.

4) Global Auction house : The global auction house will now replace kingdom based one's. The world will walk into a global economy. Anything could be posted for sale on the global auction house , and the auction will charge a standard 10% proceed fee for all transactions + shipping charges.

The seller may choose to pay for the shipping charges or may make it the duty of the customers to pay.

The longer the distance the greater the shipping cost. The shipping cost for the same kingdom will be 10 silver , within the same continent will be 1 gold and across continents will be 10 gold standard per item.

The system auctions will now change from kingdom auctions to continental auctions. Guilds from all over the continent may participate in the next system auction.

Rudra knew that this particular update was very tricky. It meant that there would be tons of competition in the market and being able to secure profits would be much harder .

This is where the chalice of purity would show its real worth. The chalice would break the international price system of potions as Elite lifestyle would become w household brand.

Rudra had heavily invested in the kingdom specialties of Hazelgroove for the past few days , because of this reason , as region specific herbs and items would now fetch sky high prices of the international market.

He would easily make his money back threefold.
