Excellent idea, Hora. I have sent gold to Rorgash. Next person who believes I am inhibiting his/her ability to engage in PvP, please apply to Rorgash for some action.
There's more gold where that came from, Ror, although hopefully demand won't outpace supply.

Call me cynical if you like, but .... more war WILL come, more PvP will come .... even if the devs don't change something.
And if I am wrong? .... I will be fascinated ...
Cheers!

yea, i have kinda stopped being a complainer about the police except for fun trolling hoping to create more tension, but after the LWO war its been clearly shown that even if an alliance and players are crushed into nothing, no one will help them if they clearly entered the war.
Which is think should show those still afraid of the big alliance joining in.
also, if you think our war war fair it wasnt, they were bigger then BSH but shortly after the start our allies joined in and we then totally outnumbered them, and NO one joined in to defend them.
People Feel safe to join in, you starting a war and the danger of getting jumped exists on both sides, if they join in some people will look at them with annoyed eyes aswell.
and H? really dont care im sure :) |
To my knowledge, LWO never requested aid and also started the war out of boredom so no one had motivation to become involved.

Rorgash sends out his scouts telling his hunting parties to not attack any incoming caravans filled with gold

Okay, I hear you, Rorgash. However, what you described -- no rules, no mercy (but no sieging) -- is still a sport. Kinda like MMA. And there are also those who prefer card games. Or billiards. [this is a side issue; why is it all or nothing?] So again, to claim that there's this terrible dearth, enforced by the snuggling police/plague, then not have the will to engage the community in the development of alternatives is pretty ironic. (and I'm not saying you're not participating, to be clear; I quite appreciate your voice)

I do see a trend where people who claim to want more war spend a lot more time talking about fighting than actually doing it. |
This is a great point I'd like to call out. A couple of weeks ago, we even started a thread about ways of increasing PvP. It got what I'd call at best a tepid response/participation, and this during a time when there was a great deal of "grrr, there's too much hugging and snuggling, it gets in the way of decent action!!" from players big and small. I didn't see a single one of those "stop with all the durn cutesy-cutesy" crusaders contribute to the discussion of how to increase PvP in Illy. The only conclusion I came away with was that the most outspoken "anti-snuggle/pro-conflict" players are more interested in bluster and complaining than finding solutions to the problems they denounce. I'll admit, it was a disappointing episode in my Illy career.

As most people that have seen me post or talk in GC know, im warlike, im a warrior, and i dont mind razing every last one of your 20k towns just for the giggles(and i did so in the LWO war)
I dont want any of these changes, i dont want any rules i dont want ANYTHING to interfere with any warring i might do, and i dont see a second alliance joining in as interfering but i see mechanics as such.
its called politics, war hurts and its supposed to hurt, if not whats the f point of fighting if it doesnt hurt, i want to be able to ruin my enemy, take from him everything he has ever done.
and yes i can get irritated at people playing police, but if they tried playing police with me i would let my choppas come down fast cleaving everything in their path, and that makes me care alot less.
Rill is one of the few peaceful people around here that i have heard that aint trying to push anything on anyone else, and aint trying to tell anyone what she wants(sure i missed some)
and I HATE ANYONE so wants to change the game from open sandbox to limited weak instance gaming..
