Could you point out where you saw the word "best" in my post? Are you unfamiliar with the use of quotation marks or just plain dishonest?

If it is the former then please allow me to be of some assistance to you.

Example:
"I did not like the feel of the game playing on the other two realm's landscapes."

Note the similarity to the original intent of the writers words. You can get away with changing the words up a bit, direct quotes are ideal but in cases where you may need to paraphrase this is fine. You can not, however, insert words that completely change the writers intent and still use quotation marks in any honest debate. You will simply look like a fool or a liar. Luckily you have me here to help you avoid such unpleasant circumstances.

If you would be interested in the next lesson we can dive into just why you would would put a period after a gem such as "meh whatever." Perhaps we will start by capitalizing the word "meh" so the rules of proper English are recognized at the beginning of your supposed sentence. This will help those that speak more than one language recognize that "meh whatever." is indeed intended to be the King's English.

Please forgive me for not adding your entire post to the small quote I have added here but the less of that stuff we spread about the longer the English language endures.

I would not have went off like this but I do not care for dishonesty and this rubbed me the wrong way. That and I was bored.

Well we have a Queen for now so it’s sort of the "Queens English" right now :} unless (god forbid) she dies and Charles takes over.

Thanks for the English lesson but in my eyes I’m on an online forum not an English exam. So I’m not bothered by my lazy typing crappy spelling and "Just writing from the top of my head" style.

you guys are making such an excellent flame to welcome the new player and all he asked for is realm balance.

join syrtis and flourish. nah srsly, if you want to get good quest items and level relatively fast then go with syrtis, if you want your leveling to be painfully slow (due to broken quests and lack of quest mobs) and boring (due to realm design) accompanied with mostly crap quest items then go ignis. if you on the other hand want to gain mad levels in few days, go to alsius.

realm imbalance is not an issue anymore, so no need to worry about that.

Sweet... I did end up rolling on Syrtis with my wife. I pretty much let her decide based on look. I was ready to go with Alsius (Hib was my favorite realm, but Skald was my favorite class).

Anyway, no worries about the English lesson. It was very informative. Being an American, I am still recovering from Bush's English.

Oh Vaylos, I was also on Hib/Nimue until the population dropped! You like it here pretty good? Were you Vaylos there?

yeah i hate to agree with NC, but ignis is incredibly hard to lvl in comparrison to other two realms, i think its cuz NGD has favorites, but thats my opinion. If you want a challenge go to ignis (as far as getting crappy jewlery and broken quests are chalening?), if u want it easy chose either of the two realms.

oh btw, don't spend xim until you're at least lvl30 (~3 days of normal questing + grinding on syrtis). and when you buy xim buy only 200% boosters for it, they might be the cheapest but they pay out the most. what can i say, i did ~1,5m xp in 4 hrs (lvl 48-50) with 4x200% boosters and did lvl 40-50 in 1 week grinding ~6hrs/day (4h normal +2h boosted [200% again] fatigue).

oh yeah, while leveling find groups, then it goes insanely fast
