I will not judge Syrtis and Ignis, because I am Alsius myself, but I just couldnt resist reacting on this specific reaction. Alsius as 'last choise' isn't how I would call it. Alsius was the first realm I ever joined, and the only one I have ever joined so far. It is true we have a number of old Ignis and Syrtis players, but for as far as I know, most Alsius players are very loyal to this realm. Some might have tried other realms too, though. The Alsius community is just like the weather, sometimes Alsius chat is active and everybody helps eachother, sometimes it is dead for a couple of days. But if you know the right persons, you can always get help in this realm. I also wont judge the colors. Ofcouse, Syrtis is the biggest realm in the game (in players), but this doesn't have to say its colour means 'welcome'. Anyways, I think more people would choose Alsius ('cold') instead of Ignis ('dangerous') if you put it this way. Well, I'll stop talking about this reply for now, but I think wars have really changed since WM update. Locks have less change because the crowd controls are resisted (off. beacon), and both defending and attacking a fort will be harder. This is a good thing, while the server(s) is/are growing. Barberians have big chances in war, while the offensive beacon is like unstoppable madness. and if a barb comes running toward you with spring (5), horn of the wind, and def. & off. beacon powers, what can you do to avoid dying (if you are not a knight and don't have sanctuary)? on the other hand, WM's gave the game a new dimension. It is easier for conjurers to survive, so they can stay healing/rezzing allies longer, so the easier death change balances. Also, Alsius' was changed a lot in the past months. Alsius grew bigger, and we could see that in the wars. Ofcourse, there are still these periods in which Syrtis holds Aggersborg for half a day, but Alsius grew stronger and closer. On the other hand, Alsius' coordination is very bad. For example, the day before yesterday, Syrtis was holding Aggersborg (as usually ). We finally bashed out gate, and most were trying to kill the greens. we clearly said 'dont take flag!'. But what do some of us do? they take flag. Ofcouse, Syrtis does the same, and they capture the fort, eliminate the Alsius' which are left inside, and they have a fort with door again. This happened 2 times in a row, in a hour. Well, I can keep 'talking' on now, but I think I would be smart to end this post for now, so you dont have to take 30 minutes to read one post. Well, cya in game |

I personally think its a fair point that some how, some way, Alsius seems to be a less popular choice, its a trend over most of the servers and most of the time I've played.
Although its removed now(?) I think the opening did contribute to this, it explained some of the history between Syrtis and Ignis, the dark elves exile etc. Then pretty much said "oh Alsius is here too" Syrtis are easy to portray as "good" Ignis as "bad" Alsius I've always felt are more neutral, in lore, characters, and even color scheme.

Just a thought.....
'If' Raven was to merge with Horus....... What would happen to those with differeing realms between the servers? I mean I'd be happy to pick just 1 realm in a combined server but would there be a choice for those account holders? I personally would not want toons in 2 different realms. |

Syrtis - ghost realm, Alsius - ghost realm... a pair fighters of resistance. nothing interesting. But what to do? need to somehow get the WM...

Its just a game, WM is just a few arbitrary ticks next to your characters data sheet opening up a few OP spells.
The moment the game isn't fun ... log off. Playing just for the sake of getting WM spells is not worth it, there are better things to be doing.

What are these "better things"?: Stalking the forum of a game you grew sick of? And honestly. who the fuck are you to advice someone to logoff the second they arent "having fun"? Noone (that still play this game) is having "FUN BY DYING".. so your advice is basicly: If you die = log off! But most of us, THAT ARE ACTUALLY PLAYING THIS GAME, are actually having FUN doing so!! Myself is enjoying this game (grinding/doing wmquests) more right Now, then I have for a long long time. Sure, there's tons of stuff I'd liked "fixed/adjusted".. but overall, I enjoy my time I'm playing. And apperantly so does the rest of us THAT STILL PLAYS. Otherwise, we would all probably MOVE ON, and not sit and whine about a game we don't even play! Ps: If you havent got the message yet: YOU DON`T PLAY THE GAME ANYMORE AND YOU SHOULD JUST GTFO AND LEAVE THE GAME TO US THAT STILL GET ENJOYMENT OUT OF IT!! |
