Free Tenaril move for expansion

isn't that already available as an exodus ?

Gordy, I am not arguing for special treatment for myself.  Just the opposite.  I have an alt with a Tenaril available.  What I'm arguing for is equal opportunity for my friends and others who have played for so long to be able to experience the Broken Lands without the barrier of a weeks-long Exodus along with substantial risk of having cities destroyed on arrival.

Special treatment for veterans? Level playing field?

Gordy wrote: I still dont understand how you can say we are uniquely privileged.  We are both playing the same game, same server, same rules.  Privileged would be defined as "having special rights or advantages that most people do not have".  Since we are all under the same rules on the same world, I see no advantage or privilege on our end.  On the other hand, being granted a 2nd tenaril for those who have already received the benefit of using one before, would fit under the definition of privileged.  So maybe that's a question you can answer better than I am able to? We have asked for no special treatment, no added benefits.  I never once said anything was unfair, only that fairness dictates that all parties abide by the same rules.  In the context of this discussion the rule in debate is 1 tenaril per accounts lifetime. Yes, I do say giving people who have used their tenaril already, and gained the benefit from it already another one because they want "special treatment" is unfair.  Hence the definition of the term "special treatment".  New players do not ask for any "special treatment" in Illyriad and are quite happy to grow and become a part of the community.  All we ask is that the rules stay consistent among all players no matter their length of play. BTW, there's nothing personal in this debate, I think Rill is great and always very helpful to new players.  Just sometimes its hard when youve been playing a game for so long to not feel entitled to getting special treatment.  I have the same debate with my phone company over renewals and not getting the new customer discount,  but then again I got that when I was a new customer the first time.

Ouch it was just a suggestion guys.  I see both sides but I did not suggest this on the fact that I am a vet and feel entitled to it.  I just thought it would be a nice way to start the move for some to go over to BL. The fact is many vets will not move over to BL because of this problem.  It costs a lot of prestige to move a town trust me i know this personally as I have moved almost every town I have once.  I just feel that it would be a nice gesture to allow an extra tenaril.  I did not have the luxury when i was new or the knowledge that i have now and pretty much used mine on a crappy spot on the map.  At the very least it is nice to see BL coming as this game has lost a number of great players over the last 6 months due to boredom.
