Yes. I noticed that.

That's just a hoot and a half! I had glory days? I was once relevant? I was useful to the game?
Nah, I'm just a dude playing a game for entertainment. Put of the fun for me is sharing what I have learned. In part, doing that helps me learn new things and correct my misunderstandings. I also enjoy getting to know new people.
You are correct that I have an ego, and I do enjoy a good ego massage and a happy ending. 
I hope you enjoy Illy, too.

Who would have thought 50 prestige would generate so much debate. Thanks devs, it is appreciated and I accept it in the manner (could've used a play on words but resisted, don't wanna upset the dude any more.Lol. I crack myself up) it was intended, as a gesture of thanks to all players regardless on their perceived contributions. |
Huh? I am not upset.

Hold on here. I empathize (although disagree) with Mana. I'm really excited about the milestone and thankful to the GMs for the nice gift. But where do you get off saying that Mana or TD aren't relevant and useful to the game? Mana and TD are in there almost every time I log in constantly helping new players not just with the "Care-o-vans" that St. Jude likes to malign, but more importantly, with helpful tips and advice to make new players' experiences in the game better. They have both been instrumental in helping build this very positive community we have and I, for one, am appreciative of their considerable efforts. And I know I'm not alone...

Thank you, devs.

My bad... I tried to resist myself for comparing to the RL stuff. I forgot that its the same in cyberspace as in RL. The more effort you put in the more you're ignored and the more others get the rewards for what you to. I know this opens me up for a load of broadsides so fire away peeps... couldn't give a  anymore. I was particularly thinking about Beau and his reviews on this one though and how much business he has brought to the game (and headaches for the older players). |
In a game that espouses "care-a-vans", essentially free res for having simply signed in to Illyriad and said something in Global Chat, this is mind-blowing.
How is prestige any different? If part of the rationale behind care-o-vans is to encourage newbies to stick around, I would think 50 prestige is the devs/illy team way of 1.) thanking longstanding players and 2.) encouraging newbies. Would it help to think of this gift as another form of a care-o-van?
Thank you Illyriad team! This is much appreciated.
