Have you ever been walking down a street and thought “I wish I was the ruler of this general area”, but didn’t want the legal trouble of taking it over? Well, Northern Forge Studios heard this particular plea, and has unveiled a massive new feature for its MMORPG; Orna: the GPS RPG.

From today the Conqueror’s Guild will allow you to control territory, introducing a new PvP angle into the world of Orna. Taking part is easy; simply head into the world and find Settlements, a new key point of interest on the map, and prepare for some hotly contested combat.

Claim control of these points and you can don titles such as Grand Duke, Count, and Emperor. The last of those sounds very appealing; who doesn’t want to be Emperor of the general area? Players of all levels can get involved in the fun and try to stake their claim in the world. Monarch leaders of Settlements will earn exclusive daily rewards, which they can collect or dish out to other Duke claimants.

Along with offering unique rewards, each settlement will also feature carving stones. This allows players the chance to leave public messages for all to read. A lovely feature to foster a welcoming environment, that will no doubt be immediately filled with obscene comments and “I was here”. Curse you internet!

Now for the worrying bit, the same sticking point for every GPS-based game. Settlements will spawn near real-world points of interest, including parks and other interesting landmarks. On the face of this, it sounds like an issue for those who live in the middle of nowhere, so it will be interesting to see how the rural community is served here.

Orna: the GPS RPG is available to download from the App Store and Google Play.
