I've decided to start a slow, long-term project under the codename "Empire." The project is planned to span across multiple worlds and potentially last for many, many years — as long as I have time to play games and don't get bored of HnH.
What is this project about?
The goal is to bring some order to the world, punish bug abusers, reduce the number of nasty griefers, and — most importantly — build a community where people support each other, trade, and work together.
The idea is not to create another socialist "WB" project where everyone just shares everything. I don't believe in free things. People should still have their own villages, resources, goals, and ambitions.
Instead, we want to function as one alliance divided into many villages, where cooperation benefits everyone.
WB never had any serious military presence and was therefore constantly targeted by other factions. We're going to change that.
This won't happen overnight. Realistically, it may take a year or more just to reach a basic level of organization. That's fine — this is a long-term project, not something we're trying to build in a few weeks.
Who is invited?
Everyone who wants to help build a community.
You don't need to be an experienced player. Even if you're a sprucecap, you can contribute and be part of something bigger.
New players, veterans, fighters, crafters, traders, farmers — everyone can have a place here.
The idea is simple:
Many villages. One community. One alliance. One Empire.
What do we offer?
A place for coaches who want to help new players.
Training on how to escape gankers. It's not actually that difficult, believe me — it's just annoying and takes some practice.
Military training — in the far future, we intend to teach people how to fight and defend themselves.
A community market — once the project is large enough to support one.
Protection from other groups — eventually, we want to be strong enough to provide meaningful protection to our members.
Obviously, none of this will magically appear on day one. The idea is to build these systems gradually as the community grows.
About the core group and me
We've been playing HnH for about a decade, so I think it's fair to call us experienced.
We know the game's industry very well, and we often strive to be competitive — although usually from the shadows. My group has always preferred grinding the game and building things rather than constantly looking for PvP.
You might know me from my trading posts, or from being a member of WB since the very beginning.
You may also have heard various things about me, good or bad. I recommend reading the topic explaining what is what before making any conclusions.
I'll post it here later once I find it.
For now, that's it.
It's the beginning of a project that may take years to reach its full potential.
If you're interested in helping build it from the ground up, you're welcome to join.
