Illyriad does not need Miley Cyrus.

broken lands didn't have any effect on elgea. It's the same game, same server and pretty much the same players. If anything, it made players who got bored with illyriad get there interest back. Players who may have moved all their towns to broken lands, but even then they still on melgean markets, trying to solve elgean mysteries...

So my answer is certainly not. If there's stagnation in Elgea it certainly wasn't caused by broken lands.

Stagnation wouldn't even be bad. It's definately better then a downward spiral of senseless forum filling opinions that hardly anyone cares for.

I voted 'Certainly Not', because in my opinion Elgaea was already dead, and the big confeds are to blame for that.

Nobody in their right mind challenges one of the big teams when it means you get stomped upon by 5 or more big alliances. That is a very boring status quo.

Then you should have voted "Elgea was stagnant before TBL came along"

On the question of stagnation in Elgea I'm wondering how you would measure that?  I'd measure that in competitiveness by those who which to compete, new cities being established by players (not counting the newb ring of course), by activities in the various hubs, and even, if I thought it a reasonable thing to be doing, by formal land claims.

My sense is that there is a lot of activity in taking abandoned and soon to be abandoned cities, but does that constitute vigor?  I don't really know.

Finally, in comparison to the level of activity a year or so ago when I first came to this game, the activity seems to have gone down, though, to be honest, I've been in TBL for the most part of that year.

In summary, overall I do think it's stagnant, but could be different if anybody wanted to risk anything and try a war or two...LOL.

The question that needs to be asked is 'When is that other game coming out?'. GM SC said long, long ago that everything is being held up by the lack of coding and that this new game, with outside help from Microsoft, will provide both games with the necessary coding needed to provide everything we've been waiting for.

After that is dealt with we need to give me, Epidemic, sole mod powers to police general chat. I promise to never ban anybody for any reason, because they're only words and I can handle anything dished out, but I will siege you out of the game if you get on my nerves (provided I have a rainbow to protect me from repercussions). Huggings will be punished severely....

I didn't mark any of the options, because none of them quite fit what I think.

But... If you recall broken lands came out when it did because of a surge of new players after a long downward spiral in player population and (in my opinion at least) general morale. So... I would say both Elgea and the game in general are doing better than the game was several months before broken lands came out.

Except Broken Lands came out in a rush as a pale shadow of what looks to have been promised. I wasn't here for it and can only go by the blogs. Unless, of course, the long, nearly unreadable story Rikoo put up in the forums is part of the BL quest arc.. The story is just too long to read effectively while scrolling through. It's far too easy to lose one's place. Too wall-of-text.

I hope it's not. I'm off the of the opinion things like that should be kept within the game itself.
