Blinky the Berserker said: "Stagnation wouldn't even be bad. It's definately better then a downward spiral of senseless forum filling opinions that hardly anyone cares for"  to which I must ask, "Does Blinky include his own "senseless forum fulling opinion" about "senseless forum filling opinions?"  LOL 

If one want's his opinions respected it's usually best to respect the opinions of others and let them have their say...that way they will feel like your own comments are worth the reading.  Respect breeds respect, don't you think?

Since BL opened in response to LoU closing, I would be curious to know how many LoU players we actually retained at this point.

Opinions.. meh.. will it really change anything if the Devs are not doing/ready to change anything?

Opine all you want on what it should be, could be.. but we don't jump until the Devs say "Jump" and we respond with "how high?"

Stagnant, active.. we're here, some for the long haul of relaxation and the pace it is.  So for all the excitement, we are on our own. And some PvP is going on to relieve the heft of troops, via War of Walls, NPC Hunting Tournaments and the like. 

But that's a lot different than say, a Dev Tourney, (really wouldn't mind myself), some repeat of mix up of some we've had already. That usually includes ALL alliances to make a plan for it and for alliances to outweigh the other (accordingly to strength).

If this was a post to be critical of the game itself, I shall not post an opinion. I'm here, you are here.. I don't think people work hard on negative forcing.  Just sayin'

Agreed, I'd rather have the same annual King of the Square tournament and a new creative tourney every 5 to 6 years, instead of only a new creative tourney every 5 to 6 years.

And Elgea has always been pretty interesting.. you can't throw a rock at a trove mine without causing 26 different confederations to go to war with each other..
But I much prefer the Broken Lands.. oddly enough even with all the land claims there you can still throw lots of rocks all over the place without starting WWIII. Much more room to try new things without the enforced we-will-teach-them-our-ways-of-peace-by-force! attitude of the old world.

I distinctly got the impression that we won't be seeing any tournaments unless we do the creative work. Personally, I'd be happy with a repeat at this juncture.

I prefer repeat every year on fixed dates rather than new creative ones.

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.

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.

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....

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.

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