What will be required to become Emperor? Is it supposed to be possible for a player to become one? From what you know, how will battles over the Imperial City work? I have fairly recently found out about The Elder Scrolls Online, and as such, I am not well versed in it. I am interested in knowing what conditions one must meet in order to usurp the throne, and take control alongside with your organized army or guild. Could players lead armies including NPCs as well, or just players?

Not specifically sure yet, I think overall ranking in the campaign. Not sure what the ranking takes into account though.

Overall I'd say alot of freetime and maybe some account sharing.

That's my guess too. I'm not getting my hopes up fore being crowned at all. I play a lot but my guess is that this kind of achievement will go towards the elitist of the elite players those guys who do nothing but play this game all day long at the expense of their social lives and jobs. Or maybe not but still its going to go towards the highly devoted I think.

I have a wife and kid and work from home. I play about 16 hours a day, sometimes more pretty frequently, and I don't expect to get Emperor. Going to try like hell but I'm not going to hold my breath on it. Its most likely going to go often to people that find some sort of loophole or exploit. That's just how things of that nature usually go.

Example: Gladiator arena titles and RBG HoTH/HoTA titles in WoW. Sure alot of people that legit earn them get them, but then again alot of people who don't legit earn them get them too.

Its based on score.. we dont know exactly how. Also its been said its last 24 hour of campaign what matters most. I suppose if you see your side has a chance to win, you keep trying harder, so basically its alot of luck too, when you're logged in, so yep, everyone has chance of becoming an emperor. Also its possibel to switch between Campaigns, but it cost you Allicence Points. One Emperor per campaign too, so yeah, theres lots of Emperors at the same.

I just really hope there's no way to get a guild to all team up to get it for one dude. It'll lead to alot of bad stuff. I want to be competing with EVERYONE equally, including my friends, and I've read ZOS stating that it'll be like that fortunately. I just hope they stick to it pretty tightly.

Swtor kind of svcked for that when it came to MVP voting, not matter how good you did In the battleground, if there was a group of friends one of them was getting the it.

What is required you ask?

Multiple ganking, rinse 'n repeat said process!

Calling it now if its able to be farmed in a group. Gold or RL cash for emperor, pst.

Hopefully that never happens but I too could see it happening.

It would be nice if people playing on the defensive would have an equal shot at it. Things like this always award more points to attackers and not defenders.
