*PvP* The Horned Society *PvP*

Hail Avatars,

The Horned Society is a POT (player owned town) that was funded by a kickstarter campaign.
The goal of this project was to create the largest PvP Town in Shroud of the Avatar. Enjoy the ultimate experience and thrill of a town devoted to the Player vs Player playstyle. This initiative was created to help make this dream a reality.

For now, the city will be a Crossroads Village. This city is created for PvP players, no matter the style of PvP (Pk’s, Anti-pk’s, RP/PvP, Pro-PvP, Casual-PvP etc). The Horned Society city will always be Open PvP.

The people of The Horned Society always tended to be tense and paranoid - rightly so, because of the dangers of the tough city. Murder, stealing and betrayal will be present, traders should always wear armor, haughty expressions, and ready swords in this society. Life within its walls will be dangerous!

If you loved the feeling of FREEDOM and DANGER offered by UO, the feeling of FEAR we all had from other players, please contact me. I'll explain how to join the most famous PvP city in Shroud of the Avatar.

Are you ready to take the challenge?

Done, I asked for a village lot. Water City Lot. Gonna sail my boat from sawtooth to the Horned Society!

 

So the majority of PvPers who backed this project and then completed the survey didn't want full loot or didn't care if there was full loot... that's awesome. I'd imagine your full loot votes would be higher than the average so the projected plan for loot is going to fit the majority of gamers nicely

P.s. welcome to town ownership sir. Glad to see you got funded. The more pvp towns the better!

 

I was thinking about the place where the city will take life , i guess we could be both near a shardfall (38.9%) and near the Blackblade (22.2%) at same time , can we !?

 

On another side:

79.8% of backers are not against the Full Loot !!!

I wonder how many Shardfall there will be on New Britannia ???

 

I would have expected that number to be higher honestly. Being the whole reason you did your project was for an open-pvp town we don't know that we can change to anything but full loot yet... so your backers should all be okay with full loot or all be wanting it. I was actually really encouraged to see the stronger pvp supporters are all in-line with the non pvpers because I'm wanting to see a huge PvP boom here. I'm going to start standing in-front of my house and encouraging hours and hours of chaos for R18... I might need to get another (3rd) house so PaxLair doesn't evict me ^.^ haha!

 

GREAT NEWS !!!

***I finally received the money from KS this morning***

Me too, I would like a 110%, but 80% is good

 

Nice ! i'ts a good news , grats !
