Mission Complete
After the banishment of rebel players from Empire-controlled lands, the rift between rebels and lawful players grew wider than ever, sparking the formation of guilds dedicated solely to tracking and eliminating rebels.
For smaller and mid-sized guilds that lacked control over significant resources, opportunities to level up in the wild were limited. Consequently, hunting rebels presented an incredibly lucrative opportunity, offering these guilds a path to escape mediocrity.
Rebel hunting provided not only substantial level gains but also monetary rewards from the Empire, alongside increased fame and favor within the Empire's NPC circles— which was an all-around invaluable boost.
A few days after the rebels were driven out of the Empire lands, nearly everyone on the lawful side of the Empire seemed eager to join the hunt, driving the conflict between rebels and lawful players to new heights.
