It's been awhile since I've played AC, I moved on back in Fall '01 after playing AC since it was released, and I'm looking into actually coming back into the game.
Anyways, this past summer I played Shadowbane and I think the Devs could take a few ideas from that game to improve their own. In Shadowbane you can build your own towns, and they can be destroyed as well. If the Dev's made the larger houses (mansions, etc) destructible it would give the monarchies something to fight for.
The way SB set this up was that you had to use an item called a 'bane' to attack a town. The attackers set the bane somewhere close to but out side the defenders town (or mansion in AC). The defenders then have 24 hours to answer the attackers call to war, by selecting a time(they are forced to select a time within 48 hours) for the 'bane' item to activate. When the item activates the mansion would be able to be destroyed, and so would the bane item.
This lead to many awesome PVP fights, but alas shadowbane had many many many bugs that made the game unplayable.... didn't help much when they decided to erase my server either.
