Faction Spotlight - Kaiserreich
With this new series of faction spotlights, we’ll be talking to many of the current Massivecraft faction groups to hear more about them and their history on the server. This week focuses on Kaiserreich, featuring an interview with its leader, EricKilla.
When did you create Kaiserreich and how did the faction come together?
EricKilla: I created Kaiserreich in September of 2019 after a brief stint in the faction Abbasiyyah. It was initially formed by me and a group of friends from a different community, but they mostly ended up leaving the server after a fairly short period of time. Since then we've cycled through a few generations of officers and members.
What is Kaiserreich's main focus as a faction? (PvP, building, roleplay, etc)
EricKilla: Kaiserreich's focus is primarily on building and faction politics. We've been planning out a new capital city at our Essa claim, and we're putting together a kingdom with some other factions in advance of Kingdoms & Sieges.
What is a typical day on the server like for Kaiserreich?
EricKilla: Most of our time is currently spent on building, though we do also work with allies, help out with raid defense, and do a good deal of chest room parkour. On occasion we do some silly things like the Bamboo Farm SW of Essalonia spawn. Down the line, once we're set and start recruiting, a lot of time will be spent onboarding new players.
When looking back at your faction history, are there any events/achievements/fun moments that stand out to you?
EricKilla: Definitely some of the crazy hijinks we've gotten up to, like our 8428 Hopper semi-automatic potion brewer/sorter, or our livestock farm which Daragon and BlueChaos culled on a daily basis for a while - we've managed to amass almost 100 dubs of eggs from it, by the way. I have to mention the two League wars that we were involved in as well - the Nilfgaard League actually resulted in some really large raids against Lyrah earlier this year. We can't wait for Kingdoms to see what that'll bring.
What makes Kaiserreich unique from other factions on Massivecraft?
EricKilla: While we're currently pretty weak in the PvP front, we have lofty goals with regards to building and logistics. Take, for example, our public darkroom at /tp krdarkroom - at the time it was built, it was one of the best darkrooms on the server. It's suffered a bit now that MythicMobs has changed how mobs spawn, but it remains the best public-access darkroom on the server.
What are your future plans for Kaiserreich in the coming months?
EricKilla: We are currently in the midst of a faction structure rework. Our primary goal is to set up an engaging recruitment process. I've been researching how other factions engaged their players (particularly recruits), both currently and in pre-reset Massive. Once this rework is complete, and our primary faction facilities are finished, we will begin recruiting on a large scale.
We thank EricKilla for letting us speak with him and look forward to seeing where Kaiserreich goes next. If you’re interested in joining the faction community on Massivecraft, check the Massivecraft Factions Central area on the forums and the Factions page on our main website for more information.
