Why did you pick that realm? - Page 4

veluchami · 03-10-2010, 06:50 AM

For me it was a toss up between alsius and ignis, i had decided i didnt like the syrtis shield and somehow syrtis reminded me of slytherin the evil house in HP.
Finally, the underpop bonus decided it for me

Your 1-30 is stupidly easy

Lots of running around but a mount eases the pain, still you can do like 18-30 just off quests 0.o

First, joining Syrtis was not an option. I hate elves

since i read Kiryll Eskov's The Last Ringbearer. (You can read about this book here and here.) Mind it, i have no dark elf char, only Moloks and Esquelios.
While i was downloading the game i checked war status and i found one of Ignis forts being captured by Syrtis, so i thought: they losing, they need help.
And i still think that as soon as we deal with greens and cabras, we will "take care" of those nasty dark elves too.

Why Ignis ?

Syrtis, a realm full of white guys with blonde hairs and boring french country side landscape ? I'm not playing Barbie but Regnum Online, and i love exotic landscapes.

Alsius ? Snow hurts my eyes, and there are too many trees, and they always whine (the english speaking community of Alsius is an exception though).

So Ignis, hot dark elves, a plain desert as hostile as the people populating it, its wonderful volcanic zone ( i want a VZ in WZ

) and dangerous swamps. And Shaanarid is the most bad ass looking castle

Ignis is anything but plain though. granted it may not always have been. First time I played I thought, meh yes desert, maybe some rocks. Thougnh thats true for the general landscape, you have a beautiful bridge separating Altaruk and Allahad (which in itself is a cozy seaside resort with a nice beach, and some palmtrees, rolling green hills

That huge temple thing in the arteries, dunno what it is..but its pretty..and that wizards tower is awesome (yeah I had to run all the way to the top)

Even the port you start in, as you travel to the villages, its lovely.

Later you get to explore the VC which I've never seen a opposite of in the other realms. The swamp which is fun to hide, hunt and drown in.

so don't try and pretend your land is ugly..because as much as I like green hills and flowers..its honestly boring

As for alsius, my experience is limited (toher than sightseeing during invasions) But I was amazed at the new init zone, the statues, the ships, the huge shipping winches.

I shall have to venture into Syrtis' init zone as well, but as afar as I remember it looks basically the same.

When I got to know Regnum(day after the official launch) my brother was playing in Alsius(although he played Syrtis in beta) and since I always liked Nordic scenery and preferred dwarfs over elves, I went to Alsius too.

I did play a bit in Syrtis when my brother returned there after a few weeks, but Alsius dragged me back. I love the scenery and the people playing there are mostly very nice.

linearguild · 03-10-2010, 05:01 PM

I was going to join Alsius because they had dwarves and I really liked the look of the realm shield. Then I noticed the gold and XP bonuses, and for some reason I thought they marked the more "advanced" realms. Well hey, nothing tells you that they're underpopulation bonuses so it's really any newbie's guess.

So anyway, I rolled my first char in the "default" realm that had no mysterious bonuses. After all, it's no big deal since one account can have three characters, and my second could be in Alsius....

King_Of_Angmar · 03-11-2010, 12:43 AM

Just as a strangely random sidenote....from what I've seen on this thread it looks like half of the population is in ignis

Or maybe it's just mostly ignis people who are proud enough of their realm choice that they all post why.

SlackerLinux2 · 03-11-2010, 03:03 AM

might aswell add my story

started playing years ago on ra(cant remember when) i joined syrtis and made a knight. after playing a week or so my GFX cards fan failed Causing the card to fry itself since there was like NOONE that spoke english that was on when i was i thought meh and moved on to a different game

when i saw that horus had opened up i thought about giving regnum another try it was a tough choice to pick a realm i knew from my previous experience that some syrtis quests were broken so i chose to go with either alsius or ignis. it was a tough call but ignis had a realm bonus at the time so i joined them. i don't regret my choice much found myself a great clan and a ton of people to play with. although sometimes i do think maybe i should have given alsius a try.

Arafails · 03-11-2010, 03:48 AM

Hmm. Well, let's see....

Dark Elves are Badass (I said on realm chat just the other day, no other race exists for me... until I bite the bullet and make an archer). They would be more badass if concentration actually did anything, of course.

Need another reason?

Well okay. When I first tried to join the game, I had a pretty shitty machine (mostly the graphics card). Ignis was the only realm where I had more than 5fps in the noob zone.
