Hey, hey, what do we have here? An ambitious MMO that looks like it'll be freakin' awesome? I think I'll be sticking around. I look forward to achieving greatness in the land of Elyria. Hopefully with a bunch of other equally great friends who'll have my back. Nice to meet you lot, gonna be a wild ride when launch gets rolling.

Hello, and welcome to the community Halo381. :)

Hey there and welcome to the COE community! We all look forward to seeing you around and helping you learn about the various communities and the upcoming components/testing phases of COE.

Welcome, and for your information; Alteran Lerellan is wrong. Dukes and Counts give the king his power, so they don't have to bare the burden. The king has the broadest shoulders. Counts and Dukes have their castles by his grace.

Hey!, welcome to the community, Got any plans on what your going to do in this upcoming, amazing game.

Great first impression! I love the spirit and positive attitude. Welcome to CoE!

Welcome feel free to pm me if you have any questions.

I'm afraid I'll have to disagree with you there. For one, the Counts and Dukes do not have their castles merely by the King's grace. If they so chose to rebel against him, the King could do naught but hope that he has enough supporters to protect himself.

For two, the most powerful person in the country holds all right to that country, and that person doesn't have to be a King. The easiest example of this would be for someone who is incredibly wealthy. A person like that would likely be funding several counties, and perhaps even duchies, thus gaining their debt and their dependency. Whatever that wealthy person wishes to happen, must be done, because without that money those counties would fail. As such, that person would hold immense power within the Kingdom, perhaps even rival to that of the King.

Hence why a wise king implements taxes into his kingdom so that no one can be richer than the king.

I love the vibe of this thread, welcome to the community Halo381!

Its not wise to raise taxes that much that no one can get richer than the king. Having no chance and nothing to aim for results in revolts ;) A good King doesnt need to be rich at all. He's just the one that decides about alot of money, which isnt his own. At least, I wouldnt see it as the Kings money that pays people for building streets, walls and prestige buildings, raising armies, funding science etc... Just like taxes dont belong to the government today. A government with debts still rules. Otherwise near to no governments would rule their countries.
