Even though Bright Star Studios didn't provide any dates or details about pricing, they did reveal that they'll sell 12,000 parcels during their first land sale for Ember Sword. Buyers will be able to select pre-defined grids of land plots, which vary from a 1x1 up to roughly 20x20 parcels.
The first land sale for Ember Sword will take place in the nation of Solarwood. This area consists out of roughly 40,000 plots, of which they will sell 12,000. The smallest land parcels are simple plots, and they go up in size to become settlements, towns and cities. One land plot is approximately the size of your game screen.
Solarwood is a country with lush forests and farmable land. Players who own a plot of land, share the revenue they generate with neighboring plots. Collaboration seems to be a key thing to do for landowners. Regular plots can contain campsites, NPC houses, mineral deposits, monster spawns and so on. As a landowner, you will become a Sir or a Lady.
Last month Bright Star Studios said that the sale would take place late April at the earliest. However, May seems more likely. They said the sale would take place a few weeks after the end of the quarter.
Settlement plots are slightly different from regular plots. For example, the owner will become a Baron or Baroness. In addition these locations can become a location for travelers to gather. Players can create a store, or perhaps house a small guild. Similar to the regular plots, revenue generated on these types of plots is shared with surrounding plots. Town are even bigger, and offer a lot more options for crafting. These will also be the locations that have access to the in-game exchange.The owners of a town become an Earl or Countess.
Cities will be the biggest and most commercial areas. These busy areas offer portals to travel through, caravan trading posts and large buildings with better services. Owners will become a Duke or Duchess.
