A declaration of war was easy to make, but it had a very significant impact.
In the Hillsbrad Hills, there were many players slaughtering wild horses. These horses had a high refresh rate and also gave high EXP. If they farmed those monsters for a day, it was possible to get half-a-level's worth of EXP
Because of that, the competition for these wild horses was very fierce. It was basically impossible for small groups of players to train on them.
The players who were currently occupying the best spot were from the Gangnam Royals. They had taken over three or four groups of wild horse spawns and other than stopping to have some food, they hadn't taken any breaks.
A few scattered players approached in the hopes of finding a spot, but as soon as they saw the Gangnam Royals guild badge, they immediately left the area.
Of course, there was no way to reason with the major guilds, especially the Gangnam Royals.
