I'm not sure how I feel about the length of time, although I think a couple weeks is way too short if we want the title to be an exclusive thing (I do). Realistically, if you can't PvP much normally, you can just PvP a lot right after the reset and have a good shot at Emperor. For some reason I was under the impression that the only points that matter are those that you've gained since the last Emperor was crowned, which would make the campaign reset point pretty moot, but I can't find the source for that now so I was probably mistaken.

Either way, I like that it's difficult for a lot of people to become Emperor. I even like the idea that potentially only 1 person in your alliance might be Emperor over a 3 month period. It makes things feel more persistent and immersive. What kind of alliance chooses a different Emperor every 2 days? That said, I wouldn't be opposed to cutting down the reset point by even as much as a month.

As far as why it is as it is: Maybe the point of making it 3 months is to match bulk subscription plan options?

Edit: Those of you saying you "only" PvP 3-6 hours a day are not really helping the case that it's possible for regular peeps to become Emperor. Seriously, I have enough trouble finding more than 1 hour a day to play usually, due to all the other real life things I have/want to do. I might play much longer on a free day, but 6 hours a day is not really possible for average folk. (I used to do this actually, but after a year or so I felt really depressed and came to the conclusion that there's something wrong if you play a game that much, at least if you have anything else that you could be doing in your life.)

... so you are saying that its ok to have one emperor for 3 months because you like consistancy or lore?

lol

Yes. Well, I said more than that, but if you want to oversimplify my response, feel free. Sorry if I've disappointed you.

Always better then in Daoc where is one parade per server and you can only reach the first hoping he doesn't play anymore

Are there not end of campaign rewards? A campaign has yet to end so we don't know what rewards we will get. If the reward is great, then I wouldn't be worried about campaigns being so long.

I'm not gonna be happy when I get another set of green Kresh Slippers of Majicka, then.

I think 3 months is fine. I dont see a problem with it. the Emperor status sould be really rare or it will lose its point.
