Why did you pick that realm?

[mr_scsi]

In game chat yesterday, the subject of how the syrtis zerg can seem to magically double or triple in seconds. A thought occurred to me in between respawns, 'What makes syrtis realm so attractive to new players?'


I can honestly say that I was leaning toward the ignis realm after reading the back story on the realms/races and learning of the evil visited upon the dark elves, and I tend to lean toward the 'bad boy' side in everything. Red is my favorite color of the three realms, and the +10% bonus was maybe the icing on the cake that made me click the button.

I apologize now if this is a rehash of a previous post, but I'm way to busy hurling headlong into the crushing wave that is the syrtis zerg to search for it.

So what say you? Why did you pick your realm?

Kyro made a poll to this effect a while ago, Ill see if I can dig it up, as for me, basicaly because I like the colour green and live near a parky area so spend a lot of time with people out in feilds and forests and such...

I Originally chose Syrtis due to Green being my Favorite color i didn't look into realm history back then.

then i chose Syrtis on Horus again! because i was comfortable with grinding ect in that realm so i just wanted to grind as fast as i could (which i didnt )

Then i finally got tired of Syrtis Zerging Stupidity so i moved too Alsius best move i ever did

now for me the issues involving Balance could happen because of the background of each realm..

For me..

Syrtis is a non hostile friendly realm who protects it's land (complete opposite :P)

Ignis is the realm built on Revenge and Hatred wanting to get back at Syrtis for expelling them for there necromancy ect ect..

Alsius sorta reminds me of Vikings/Saxons having longboats and such. But too me Alsius doesnt fit in the story of the 3 realms

Syrtis &Ignis are in this fight for revenge and such and Alsius is just sorta there digging for gold seeking new lands


Most people wanna be the "good guys" so thats to me is why people chose syrtis

I chose Ignis (on RA) originally, simply down to "eenie meenie miny mo."

[Arkenion]

Uh my brother was in it so I went there too

[/awesomely exciting story]

Reminds me of this old thread. Still a good topic of discussion.

I picked it because of a friend, if she hadn't been there then i would've picked using a coin toss. I like all three realms

lol i forgot about that thread, sorry kyro XD

I started playing Ignis because it the best realm for me - I love everything about the desert style, the story and the colours. Dark Elves are awesome characters. I deleted my character and chose Sytris by random. Someone helped me on my 1st day in Sytris and its much more friendlier than my experience in Ignis [I only lasted 2 days there].

My point is try to be more friendlier to new players and don't flame them for any reason as they can just jump realms. My signature should be Zarozinia Falchu|Level 48 Dark Elf Conjurer|Ignis *shrugs*

meh, I forgot why I chose alsius.....actually, come to think of it, why DID I choose alsius??

normally I would have chosen syrtis (the scenery and my fav colour green) or ignis (I like deserts and the moloks look pretty cool)

so why did I chose alsius? dwarves? the goats? the colour blue? that uber looking hammer on the alsius logo???

all I know is that by the time I reached lvl 5 I realized I would never leave this wonderful realm (or rather, I couldn't leave since by the time I found out you could change realms by deleting all your chars I was already lvl 29 and I didn't want to start all over )

I chose Alsius, because all Canadians love snow and winter (though I live in Vancouver to avoid the stuff).

Like the song says: Mon pays, ce n'est pas un pays, c'est l'hiver.
