I chose syrtis at first for a couple reasons. First I had a friend who played there. Second I've always been an 'archer' fan, particularly hunter kind of class, and elves/half elves are naturally the stereotypical race for that kind of class. I liked the portrayed setting of the realm too, forested and lovely. As an afterthought it was by far the most 'beginner friendly' looking realm. I don't know what about it made it seem like it would be the place for a noob, but it did, and i chose it. When I took a swing at horus I went to alsius because after playing for over a year I found that alsius was the terrain I liked the most and i couldn't resist making a dwarf archer

Also alsius was in bad shape on ra at the time and i'd heard it was in even worse on horus, so I felt some sympathy.

That is my long, drawn out explanation of why I chose my realm

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.

i chose syrtis on tyr because there was a friend of mine playing there, also in was underpopulated (i understand i u don't believe but it was alsius zerging back then). besides, favourite colour is green and i love elven archers, so i'm a marks.

i chose syrtis because ive always wanted to be an elf and when reviewing the classes the hunter class interested me the most. to be honest if dark elves could be archers i would have joined ignius but here i am in syrtis now.

im considering doing what klutu did by jumping over to alsius because they need more players on that side and being in the "overpopulated" realm is getting kinda lame now. too bad im too lazy to start over and the risk of getting flames is kinda high and being a hunter here makes it worse

Picking a realm is simple

alsuis has the best warriors
syrtis the best archers
ignis the best mages (not sure)

so you shoud chose a realm for
the class you love/like to play

but i didnt go by that rule
i chose my realm for the ammulet and rings
maybe that was wrong maybe not
but who cares

I started on Alsius, and got a few chars to level 30, but the realm got kinda boring after a while, and, I dunno, I got dis-enchanted with it.

So, I decided to try Ignis, and I am in fact much happier there. Ignis is definitely more of a challenge, and I personally believe it creates better fighters due to the fact that almost every level from 8 upwards is Quest and Grind out the rest, where as in Alsius, there are several mid-levels that can be done entirely on the back of quests.

The constant need to grind in Ignis, against extremely challenging dust storms, and creatures that seem a lot more aggressive, I believe creates a better class of fighter, one that has really thought about attack strategies, and trying to get a kill the fastest way using the least HP.

It's amusing to see that out of every 20 people entering the initiation zone, maybe only 5 will make it to Level 30. I think its by far the hardest and cruellest realm to play, but it is easier to grind in, in my experience. I also like the dark aspect to it, and I think it reflects part of my character.
