IGNPC: So, the primary "hook" of this game is to become the ArchLord -- the most powerful player in the game, from the sound of it. What are the perks, and how does the ArchLord defend his position?

Tim Hodges: The ArchLord opportunity for players is a fantastic one, and obviously this is reflected in the perks that the player gets. The ArchLord will have access to an awesome, scaly, flying Dragon Mount. They will also be able to call on three Knights that will act as bodyguards to the ArchLord, they will also be able to summon up 20 fearsome monsters to battle those around them, too. Players will also be able to control the weather and levy taxes on the other castles in the game. Oh and let's not forget the massive meteoric shower AOE that the ArchLord can call forward, too.

As for defending their position, the ArchLord will have reign of 21 days before they can be challenged for their position. Players that intend to fight for the title must go through a number of challenges that will whittle them down to the one that will challenge the ArchLord. Then the Archlord and the challenger will meet in an epic clash of the titans. You can expect some more specific details in the coming weeks on the ArchLord system but we would like to keep a little back.
