Alsius(horus) is screwed

[ufkn]

You can't compare Ignis' one time population dip to our constant crisis, certainly not after Warmasters. It's just disheartening to see update after update pushing the game into more zergism and less about tactics and teamplay.

I'm thankful we have atleast some warmasters who are good humble people and keep fighting against the odds day after day without complaining.

As for mumble, many have tried if before, but it doesn't work on a large scale basis, a little group, clan or party is ok but to bring a whole realm into one communication channel is just next to impossible.

Both syrtis and ignis rely on it for realm wide comunication and ignis population dip would have been a constant decline if they hadnt fought so well, which kind of reminds me of some other realm....

The Alsius situation is a tough one, but there are people that enjoy a challenge. I have seen so many fantastic tactics come out of alsius that other realms are still failing to duplicate.

There are several ways to never lose be invaded even when outnumbered.

Just remember, that we all have seen if you show that a tactic works to well, people will cry and the tactic will get nerfed.

I feel a major problem with more players joining alsius is not only the threat of getting killing by random realmers while just learning the game, but also the fact that raven server will pull a large population away that could possibly play in the US timezones. So a decline is inevitable. Compare Alsius to a sink full of water, someone corks up the tap and opens the drain. Even if the waster goes down slow, it cannot be replenished by the original source.. end of story.

But that applies to all realms. Alsius main problem is happening as i type this from aggs, there are several groups running around with no idea whats going on and unable to support each other.

20 lol - that would be the whole realm on Horus My guess would be about 8-12 ppl left and actually some went back to Horus because they couldn't handle the loss of there OP gear

"opened the portal on Raven like 6 times"

We actually could open the portal more, BUT WE ONLY DO IT FOR THE REALM EXP BONUS unlike some other realms

Jippy!!! get ur butt back to alsius horus! miss you bro.

It does, bring the clan leaders and some more experienced players on the server.. let them talk to eachother and they will coordinate their Clanmembers/Friends to do what you want to accomplish. I got the Alsius Mumble server from standistortion and I'll tell my clanmembers to use it.

Make some reseach before you say stupid things...

All troble in your post is:very rare situation due of timezone got recordet....but you never see general situation of ignis in 24 hours.
It's human too see only bad situations but when you own WZ for 90% of time it's not counted.

And about Umaril:
When i was defending in old days 2 barbs and one conj "Dian-a-Ling" vs 20-30 ignis Syrtis's gates you neighter play this game,you just spamm forum.Please look at yourself before judge others.
When i was left Syrtis for Alsius was because all clases had a RPG in game..and each person from the games had influence on war results,and ofc i love chalenge.Now with new upgrade, RPG desapear and massive war with random results come.

-Number of players/warmasters has too much impact on war results.
-Also ,how i told before W coins bonuses gave a huge chance for overpopulated realms to boost like 400% to make WM.
-W coins had very bad implementation that in short time alowed to unbalance faster with 400% realm balance.
