What would you do..?
Right; let’s pretend for a second that there are NO rules or limitations to what a player can accomplish when they acquire the role of ArchLord. Let’s pretend you have the power to do what ever you want.
What would you do?
Now from what I’ve read of ArchLord off various web sites, it’s clear that the player who assumes the role of ArchLord, should (and I say SHOULD) do so on the basis that they will help their guild gain control of whatever it is guilds can gain control of. Help their guild get even more rich and powerful than they previously were.
With this in mind: If YOU receive the power to do whatever you like (and I mean you). Not you or your guild – just you.
What would you do?
Would you help your guild, or would you destroy them? Would you give them all the riches you could possibly muster; or would you hurt them, and everyone else who stands in your way? Bear in mind you will only be this powerful for a month, and your guild buddies wouldn’t be too happy with you after you destroyed them all  .
On the other hand – you’ll probably still be one of the richest, most powerful players in the game; so I’m sure you’d be able to find another guild to support you in your efforts to become ArchLord once more - and eventually become the most powerful ArchLord to grace the land...
So I ask you again: what would you do?

Well, I suppose it would depend on the situation. If my guild were fully behind me and supporting me in my quest to become an Archlord, then I'd stand by them and use the power to help them. However, if they left me to fend for myself mainly, and seeking outside help, well, they'd be the first to fall!
Fear not death, rather the torture that leads to it

Well I would really have to know what exactly we can do as ArchLord. Having said that, I would definitely have to get my evil side out of the way because hey, everyone has a little evil inside :P. After making my opposing races fear for their lives, I shall then attempt to help my guild establish a prescence felt throughout the server. Then of course more making my enemy races fear for their lives :P.

Allowing for the fact I'm entirely certain i shall never be the Archlord...
Most likely I would look to consolidate my position, too many times in these games someone comes into power, is depised because of it (usually the entire guild) and is either out soon after, or there for ages and hated all the more.
I'd use my power to bring together our Realm against the others and use the wealth to get other main guild leaders on our side, when they see they (personally) can have a piece of the pie in the form of great (Individual) wealth or some fantastic items, even the Archlord helping them out with a little slaughter therey're likely to think. "Oh, not so bad" and get a lot of their members on board. Unless of course they're also rather likely to become the next Archlord, and I'd hope to keep those in the minority due to the vast numbers of people "on side".
In other words I'd be rather benevolent, those allied along side me have vast personal riches and gains as I'd give most of it away. The real fun would be in holding the power and playing the high level politics not in the actual wealth. Ever looked back on history and said "That king/queen was great warrior but a fool, if only they'd...."

I would have my minions build a trebuchet from which I could launch ninja gnomes far into enemy territory (if in lack of gnomes, then very small people).

I wanna be on your side Arkzein  .
I'm not sure how i would handle it,i guess if i had hatred for someone on the game i'd punish them someway or the other.
And
I'd possibly be a little greedy and take a few rare items and richs for myself  ,and then the rest would be to benefit my race and guild etc.

I would roam around asking people odd questions, and killing whoever answered them wrong.

I think a lot of people on here are afraid to post what they truly think, just in case no-one lets them join their guild when the game launches  .
Personally, I’m going to... keep it a secret for now  .
