To Upgrade or Not To Upgrade that is the question.....

[Patience-Ana]

Yes, let's DO get back on topic.

Thank you, Aasiora, for your candor. It is hard for me to imagine actually WANTING our realm to be invaded. I mean, if all that is wanted is a good fight, why not just have staged fights? Why bother to have realms and forts and such? Is it all just a big stage for fighting, regardless of what realm you are in? Is that how people see it?

As for Alga, the observation has been made by many that until HNK took an interest in it, the fort was often more or less ignored by the realm, even if it was occupied.

To me, the game is about defending our realm (as well as getting and keeping the gems, of course). It seems more victorious to prevent forts from being taken in the first place than to have to take a fort back from the enemy. To me, increasing my RP is not the objective.

And when you talk about wasting gold....that is just a puzzle to me. I mean, is there a concern that the other realms will get all our gold from taking our upgraded forts? If anyone "wastes" gold, it is their own gold they are wasting, is it not? What good would their gold do for anyone else, unless it was used for a strategic upgrade? Is it just irritating to those who don't have any gold because they are finished leveling and have to grind for loot to repair their armor? Really, I would love to hear more about the concept of "wasting" gold.

Hey, I think you're starting to catch on!

Exactly!!!

People primarily want to have fun when they play Regnum. There are times when the warzone is peaceful........which it's not supposed to be. It's the WARZONE!!! When people take forts, it creates a lot of activity in the warzone. Forts are also a way of uniting players. When forts are taken, players flock to them for war. Most of the time, zergs are formed because of forts being taken by the enemy. If a fort is constantly lvl 4 defended, however, that = peace = no fort wars = boring.

Yes.

Why are you taking a video game so seriously? Why do you fucking care so much about winning a fight to the point where it becomes a completely hollow and boring experience?

The vets arent too bad. they took care of my cat nicely

Well, it takes all kinds, I guess. If we were all alike, that would be rather boring. To me, fighting just for the sake of fighting seems somewhat hollow. The question becomes how much tolerance there is of varying points of view, and styles of play, it seems.

Your opinion is opposite of mine, Troll.
Last word.

This statement is exemplary of one possible entity, following the MH guide to Trolldom.

Type 1 --

The Old Warrioress Troll. The Old Warrioress has been there and done that. She has little time to spare for those who have not been there and done that. The Old Warrioress has been there and done that to such an extent, in fact, that she is always right. Anyone who disagrees with her, therefore, is wrong by definition and should just sit down and be quiet. Old Warriors place a very high premium on one's credentials relevant to the subject matter discussed – failing to understand the logical fallacy of appeals to authority.


ok, back to the discussion.

Snap, I hope it didn't take you too long to look that up since all it did was make you look stupid. :/
Go re-read the entire topic and look up the definition of sarcasm.
Ill even go back and pick out specific parts.

When Altara gave hers - and it's an opinion I and almost everyone on this forum agrees with - you called her a troll.

In case you didn't understand that, what I'm saying is that you are the only one who cares about getting the last word.
