Possible partnership breaks, nervous breakdown, Illy break .... I can foresee lots of breaks Tongue then with xxx cities on different continents in totally different contexts.
To be serious: I am not happy about those broken continent idea. Hope there will be a way to interact between. As you usually play one identity, have your friends and your Ally ingame, but dealing with too many construction areas doesn't help anybody, quite the reverse, it could lead to Illyriad tiredness, RL timestress (most of us work and have families), confusion in micromanagement and cities loosing meaningfulness.
Those two continents need a connection, as nobody can be in 2++ allies without going crazy. Illyrian virtual life will probably loose consistency.
And concerning those HTML 5 map. It's awesome. Hope we can find a way to get this feature without loosing all Ipad  users. Maybe HTML 5 as an optional feature (2D and 3D mode).
But all in all: can't wait this update.... sooner then soon!

Luna


the option to use all four races is not available with the BL expansion?

the player has a maximum of two accounts not four
each account has a maximum of 10 cities on BL and 10 cities on Elgea
name, race, alliance, prestige of each account are the same on BL and Elgea
any town settled in the peaceful zone on BL can not be attacked
resources can not be transferred from Bl to Elgea or Elgea to BL

your reputation follows you, so if you harm a player on BL, expect retribution on both BL and Elgea or vice versa

So should most of your current alliance decide that up to 10 cities is enough.. that they are not interested in the new lands.. you will have to make a choice to stay with your alliance that has little presence on the new server, opps I mean new land or leave and find an alliance with a presence on both

Any new craftable items, magic spells, or trainable units?

Will faction quests be available in Elgea?

Will those accounts be allowed to join different alliances in the BL or does an account need to belong to the same alliance in both? (this will greatly impact the strategies that alliances take...)

In the FAQ it says a research is required to settle a city upon the other continent. It is implied then that settlers will be required, at least for the first city, to settle on Elgea from BL or BL from Elgea.


On that note, thanks for putting broken lands in the South. Makes for a great view on the Southern Islands :D

You can have 2 game accounts. Each game account can have 10 cities on Elgea and 10 on Broken Lands if they want.

Thank you for your reply Luna, but I am still a tad confused.  The FAQ clearly states:

Yes. Existing players will be able to have towns in the Broken Lands areas. The account limit for towns has been raised to include 10 towns on Elgea and 10 in the Broken Lands.

Are you saying that I can have an account, AND an alt account, in BOTH Elgea AND in the Broken Lands?
