Castle Sieging

Can anybody give me a rough overview of the siege system in Archeage?

 

If you successfully siege a castle, can your clan effectively live out of it? Does it become your home? How often can you siege? How do you win a siege? Any information would be appreciated.

 

Also, is this system going to be in at launch? I seem to remember somebody saying that it won't be, and will be added sometime after.

 

Thanks in advance!

    Yes your clan can live in and around the castle. Yes it becomes your home for the time you claim it. Not sure about how often but I understand you need to get a drop from a raid boss and place it around the castle perimeter to initiate the siege.

     

    Initially in order to conquer a territory you will need to craft a special item made from alot of materials. Once that is done you will have a sword area you must protect by building castle structures around it in whatever fashion your guild wants. People can also put houses down within your conquered territory and pay you taxes for protection.

    If your guild is sieging a castle you can only attack with 50 people. There was talk of 100 but that is still unclear. If you can breach the castle walls and claim the sword the castle is yours.  All this takes place on the Northern continent and there will be several castles and territories to battle over.

    That is most info I have read about. I am sure they have changed something since I read about it but hope this helps.

    I dont know much about, didnt get there.

    http://archeage.gamepedia.com/Castles , not sure if is accurate.

     

    About release, i think it wont be there, they will first give time for ppl lvl up, form guils, stable the economy and even stable the game population.

    You can please some MMO-players all of the time and you can please all MMO-players some of the time but you can't please all MMO-players all of the time.

    Thanks guys. I like the fact that the controlling guild receives taxes from nearby houses/farms.
