I actually got a good laugh out of this. You're describing Ignis, not Syrtis. For the past few months at least, Ignis fights only when Syrtis or Alsius has one of their forts, they zerg it, get it back, then log off or back to grinding never to be seen from again until another one of their forts are taken. Typically what happens to Syrtis' army is that they go to Alsius after this happens since its rather boring waiting for 30 minutes for Ignis to get up the courage to attack, then having a battle for 15 seconds. So maybe thats why you think we all log off. Either way, I'll stick to my statement that if it weren't for Syrtis (more recently Syrtis/Alsius), 18 hours of the day, there wouldn't be any war.

[Edit]
SoL got to the post before me, so +1 to his middle paragraph.

As has been said, this is Ignean way of playing, not Syrtian.

"Let us grad in the warzone in peace, leave us alone!", just log off instead. Infact, log off permanently, I think your realm would benefit from having all the naysayers gone.

Every realm would be better without the people who are always 'moaning' but then we wouldent have a very interesting game or forum would we?

Ignis needs no respect from whining Syrtis pansies, we take what we want. When we want fun, we make sure we have it.

Well from the recent Ignis wars ive seen in my play time, few, you cant want fun very often,

I suppose the difference between us is that you actually believe Igneans whine about being killed in the warzone.

Well we could go dig up the several Ignis "we are underpopulated" "Lets all just pvp in the swamp" "stop killing us" threads from a few months ago and the many more recent threads moaning about being killed by the "Syrtis Alsius non-existant Alliance"

[Froste]

So what you're saying is that you're really only whining for the public benefit of all forum users, to make our forum "interesting".

You know what, if you are really inclined to believe that all Syrtis does is war, and Ignis doesn't, that's fine with me. Go ahead and believe that. But then don't come running to the forum and whine about there not being any war. Go make your own.

My earlier post was harsh, but you've rubbed me the wrong way, because it's not the first time you've complained about this. This is just a game not a panacea for boredom, we all make our own fun and there is no such thing as instant gratification.

You could put it that way I suppose, I remember people saying this forum had got boring after Val was banned, because we had to little controversy we play regnum because (mostly) we are people looking for war, so I suppose its natural the forum would have these little war like threads, it would be boring without them

We have had plenty of fun with the goats over the past week or so acctualy, Ive rarely seen Ignis in that time, Other than a pair of level 50 hunters who decided that west wall forest would be a good spot to farm some newbs.

I miss Ignis acctauly fighting, and id be happy to go to Samal, Meni, not so much Shana whever, but to many in Syrtis just say "nah Ignis are boring lets fight goats" The reasons that this is thaugh have been said many times, and even if they are not all 100% true, you dont want the sterotype of "The Cheap Boring realm" hanging over you.

Eh, lately the only time I've seen Syrtis occupy a fort is with 20 - 30 people.(last Samal fight I was at tracked 11/9/7) Yet, you expect us to fight you with what we have in the Warzone at the time, which tends to be 7 - 8 scattered players. After that handful is finally brought together a lot of the grinders have heard the calls for help and logged in as well. Eventually, we gather enough to take back the fort after about 15 - 30 minutes of just dying with the original group near Samal. So I could see why you get bored killing the same 8 people over and over when you only have 27 in the fort to defend it. :/

My sentiment exactly. We have also had fun fighting the goats recently because we get similar war from syrtis when we take a fort, 7-15 of us will take a fort, and within 20 mins 30 syrtis will show up zerg the fort back then they will stand at cs playing grab ass or go to aggers. Yesterday we had quite a war at trelle with the alsius held the fort with just a few of us for an hour or 2 and they had a force that equaled us or slightly outnumbered us.

As far as the grad goes anything you do in the WZ is in a domain where you can be attacked. I am camped daily by syrtis, and i get annoyed but i don't come here crying to you guys about it. Why is that? because im in the WZ thats why. You want to grad with out the possibility of being interrupted, dont do it in the WZ. Hell we have grads in your realm when we invade don't interrupt our grads there, its very inconsiderate...

Often we do only show up in Ignis with a good sized army because, well no idea we just somehow tend to do so, however we often try take Trele or Agger with less than 10 players.

Aggers and Trell have nothing to do with Ignis though...

I know, I was simply pointing out that Syrtis war behaviour towards Ignis seems far removed from behaviour towards Alsius, for some reason.

Also you will find Ignis often has plenty to take a fort back, they will all just be grinding an Alt, its the same in Syrtis and I hear quite an Issue in Alsius, but if as you say, there is never anyone on in Ignis Wz and you need to wait an hour for people to log in/stop grinding untill you build a force that can kill us all in under a minuit then you can see why Syrtis find it boring to come to Ignis, and I dont suppose this method is any more fun for Ignis than it is Syrtis.
