My observations

I think it's quite right, except the nerd part (maybe Regnum nerd?).

It is true that Alsius is extremely clan centered. It's like la Orden Ignita all over for 95% clans out there, whereas in Ignis most clans are just a secondary chat channel.

This is both a good and a bad thing.. Good for war strategy (when Alsius was more active and wanted to take a fort, it was like 5-6 people from different clans, each calling their clan to war, and we had like 40 people coming -- because clan members are extremely valued). Bad thing because I feel clan members rather than the right player for the situation are privileged, but that's the same with a lot of clans in Ignis.

As for sense of humor I dunno if that's because I now understand spanish, but Alsius is the funniest for me. It's jokes all the times (fights between goats "mi cabra es la mejor", or jokes during a fight like when Valorius started to run the other day, we were all joking on her upcoming death while purchasing her

). There was an English speaking dwarf (I don't remember his name), low level Barb who used to play (unfortunately he stopped), he would comment with roleplay EVERY thing in the game with a tongue in the cheek. That guy was way too funny

.

Also I feel that in Alsius English speakers are more respected than in Ignis or Syrtis, there is very few if any segregation (unless the English speakers do it themselves) like I witnessed in Ignis or Syrtis.

However there are bad aspects of Alsius like for any realm, you only have to choose which people to play with

. Just like with Ignis.

Mhh and as for Syrtis, I tried to also (even for 2 hours) and I felt really bad quite fast, my blood started boiling and I just closed the client ... logged onto Alsius, and felt peace again

.
