Why did you pick your realm? - Page 3

Anpu · 06-19-2009, 11:29 PM

Friend of mine (Deyan), invited me to this game. When i was reading site, I decided to go to Alsius (because my favorite color is blue). But he told me to join Syrtis, and i wanted to be in touch with him and couple more friends I had here from previous game (we were in same guild, and Deyan was our Guild Master there).
And that's the story how Anpu chose Syrtis.

Had friends playing on beta, with the "release" they invited me to join the game on their realm, Ignis. Since then I've only tried Alsius to walk around and Syrtis... after breaking the door!

Dwarfs, if they ever make it so dwarfs can be mages i will delete my lvl50 lock
and remake him as a dwarf aswell

because it was green.

i figured if i was gonna play in a game, id rather play while looking at pretty trees and elves.

I always preferred dwarves above elves and when I started to play my brother just played in Alsius(it was the day after the reset and he wanted to try another realm), so I went for Alsius.

Why did i choose Alsius?

Well i was conned, YES conned. I was told there
would be endless amounts of yellow snow for me to eat.
I have hunted high and low for it but alas i cant find any.

Seriously, I went for Alsius as id rather come from a Norse type realm
Than from either a desert or elven woodland realm.

Also I wanted to play in the underdog realm, as it was when I
first started playing the game.

I started playing Regnum in 2007, January.
All I knew about the game was that it ran native on Linux.

On the realm selection screen, I choosed Alsius because I liked the flag.
At that time, the realm selection screen looked totally different and there were no such things as bonuses depending on realm selection...

When I became ~lvl 14 I started to realize I picked the wrong realm.
All I had seen so far was snow, snow, snow and snow and as I had not done any research on realm climate before I started I had not known until now.

For some time I thought about removing my character (lvl 14), but then I figured "when I get high-lvl I will be able to get into the "green realm" trough the warzone anyway.
By that time I thought that all realms were linked together by the great walls...

So, I was 100% sure Alsius realm gate would take me directly into Syrtis, and that there were another gate along the Alsius wall leading to Ignis...
Because of this, when I saw Vinland forest I thought it was a sign that I was close to Syrtis.

I went trough the gate and got insta-killed by David Copperfield

Since this day, I figured I could live with Alsius being a big snowball since I could go to Syrtis anytime I liked.

When I found out Gokstad and all other green places of Alsius, and ofcourse the real anatomy of the Regnum world I fell in love with Alsius

Oh, and no - there was no map at this time.

Indeed!

Like when I took the road to Birka -> Dvergarrdun Ruins/Run only to find out that I had walked in circles from Montsognir!

I had a look at all the races and the decriptions of the realms/races, then decided on Syrtis, tbh I cant remember what swayed me
