Why did you pick your realm?

POLL SHOULD READ: "Why did you CHOOSE..." not "chose", please forgive the typo

Regardless of which server you play on, why did you initially chose your (first) realm?

For me, personally, I knew nothing about the races, classes or anything (I saw Regnum on linux-supported F2P MMO list and just gave it a try; and it hooked me)

I picked Alsius because I love the snow, mountains, alpine forests and the color blue. All things fit in with Alsius. It reminds me a lot of home (NW Montana) in the Rocky Mountains.

So, why did you pick your realm?

Although I don't think a newbie initially knows which realm has items and rings or best leveling schemes.

When I first came to Regnum I picked Ignis first, because I'm a badass that like's red like that. Then I saw ugly dark elves, and went to Syrtis, I thought it was ok, but again skinny backbroken longeared elves made me leave, then I went to Alsius, and saw the clouded screen, boring music, and just went back to Ignis :P

I really liked my choice when I heard Ignis was the underdog at the time too. I thought a freezing cold atmosphere would be awesome like in Alsius, but it wasn't really what I expected, second choice was thinking of nice the desert is, how it has the whole Runic atmosphere to it.

i origionally chose ignis, which was great!! big wars strong team and being evil ;D

being spartan mage i found it difficult to get past lvl 34, and it was getting boring owning the same hunter that always came for my cheap rps, yea u kno who u are julius....it was too boring and hard to train my other two accounts, so i dicided to check out syrtis.

syrtis was good too, but abit weeker, i 3 accounts to lvl 28ish together with ease!, there were loads of quests and on the plus side when i was a noob i could shoot arrows to them bears in water, drown em and get high experiacne hahaa

but i felt life was too easy (apart from finding that dam liabry, the plant with the berries? and the bloody barrel i think it was) but after a few levels i found them alone =D. i met one who was a great well respected guy and i joined his clan. but by that time i was bored of this realm, everything seemed too easy. i took a trip to warzone didnt enjoy it much (coz there was alot of noobs (even lower lvl than me!!)) and to be honest we needed major people to take bak the herbred fort.

so i went bak to ignis, healed a few people till i got bored and migrated to alsius with a friend who was about to go. and alsius was great, we got to lvl 30 with no problem (being warlocks) then teamed up to get to lvl 35ish. although (no offence) most the people i met were jerks -.- they hated my friend and me abit, when we were at areana testing our skils and spells against each other these brutish lvl 50s came in and jus started owning us speaking spanish....later found out it was coz they were gna have a tournement in 1 hour (yea bunch of jerks). then when they arived we stayed at teh side testing our stuff but they continued to own us, over and over and over again. then we teamed up against the leader guy, we pwned his arse

and they owned us, and we jus kept going bak for revenge. after a while my m8 quit and i made a barb, leveled from 1-42 alone, mainly trained maself (with some help from watching znurre, athor, abazigal, Pelicautghar, Reserus tintus and a few others) lvl 30ish abazigal gave me a lvl 50 spear so i was like awsome and i trained ma arse of for 6 levels while at the same time powning a bunch of lvl 50 hunters that always came for my cheap rps, not gna mention any names (mainly syrtis, mainly the noobs who are on teh rp rankings (no offence the rankins need to be changed coz these noobs seriousely dont deserve to be at the top)). and i became a awsome barb =O, o yea at lvl 36 joined 2 new friends warfilth and knek and took trips to meni (3 of us) owning all their noobs

, joined claudias clan, but then everyone deserted me for HOURS!! I HATE U HORUS!!, people quit and here i am alone =( fighting for a bunch of holas that i will never kno...

shit i went a tincy bit off topic, sorry to whoever even reads this i jus waisted ur life

two years ago ignis was no underdog O_o they had loads of people and great fighters. alsius had great fighters i think syrtis was the underdogs coz they jus had millions of people (sorry but hardly no great players in my opinnion), not to mention how i saw ignis bullied them out and dominated the bridges, same with alsius dominating their bridges against syrts. alsius and syrtis bridge was really free to pass unless a giant group charged to their forts...

I picked Alsius in June 07 because they were the underdogs with the lowest population.

Things haven't changed much

backe · 06-19-2009, 03:41 PM

I initially chose Syrtis, as a couple of friends of mine (IRL) were playing there, and I had no experience with the game.

When Horus opened its doors, I chose Alsius as I was guessing that it would be the underdog realm, and I was somewhat sick of the drama that was going on in Syrtis Ra at the time.

Half-elves make the best archers, so Syrtis for me

Comp · 06-19-2009, 04:21 PM

Actually - I flipped a coin and have had realm pride ever since.

de_dale · 06-19-2009, 04:27 PM

When i first came on regnum i picked alsius. This was my choice because i guess i liked the landscape

. After playing on Alsius for a while i tried out Ignis and stuck with it. Ive only met nice people on Ignis that are always willling to reach out a helping hand, and the higher levels showed me around wz. As I kept playing in Ignis i started to like the landscape (grassy plainlands).
