The world map is divided into regions, with each region containing multiple Nodes. At their core, Nodes are pre-set points in the world, wrapped in a Zone of Influence and surrounded by geographic areas that change over time based upon player participation. Nodes are the heart of the world, they create the ebb and flow of life.

We have moved from a 103 nodes to 85 nodes and there's a few reasons for that. This decrease in node count does not affect the amount of available player housing, or the estimated server capacity.Previously the developers estimated 103 regular node locations with 15 additional castle nodes for a total of 118 nodes.There will be 85 regular node locations at launch with 15 additional castle nodes (5 castles x 3 castle nodes each) for a total of 100 nodes.

We call the contribution area the Node’s “Zone of Influence,” and it’s the area where players help to advance the Node they are in. A Node’s contribution area is larger than the actual town itself, allowing for players to adventure while building upon the town. Players who are part of the government for a specific Node will have the ability to modify building types and services further, but for the most part, a Node will grow along its own specific path (think about this more as NPCs building these towns out, rather than PCs individually putting buildings and walls up). Players do not create the footprint of a Node, but within that footprint they do have the ability to own land. The size of the towns depends on the contribution by players and how far they’ve advanced the Node. These sizes range from a small camp to a sprawling metropolis. Nodes are a pre-set location, wrapped in a zone of influence, in our world that can form into towns of different sizes. 14.7 Cosmetic store (micro transactions).Head start for crowdfunding backers at the Founder level and above.
