Mercenary info?

Marcus-

I was wondering if anyone could help me with some information, or quite possibly a link, about being an unguilded mercenary.

It seems that a lot of the end game in AOC is going to be targetted at the larger guilds, so I was wondering what the story was with being hired out as a merc. I have searched some but i am having diffculty getting much information.

 

Thanks in advance.

IMO: there will be merc guilds, but you won't see much action as a free agent. It's much easier for a guild leader to contract with an individual merc guild than 200 individual free agents.

This is why I was looking for info, I would think there might be a system in place to help guild leaders when they were in need.

Once a merc starts to make a name for himself, I would hope that would really help as well. Being a merc sounds like it could have a lot of fun perks to it, done properly.

 

edit: thanks for the additional info Fion

You might see some action as a merc in the beginning. The amount of players on both sides of a siege is limited so guilds will settle into what they need to support their keeps without having to pay pugs to do it for them.

Unless they find themselves severly outnumbered, because the other guild grabbed a bunch of mercs.

 

This is why i find it so interesting.
