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.

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.

twerking is new slang which means get your behind moving...this game has seldom had many accounts online at the same time and with the amount of quit accounts perhaps the slacker why of playing turns off more players then it actually attracts.....maybe the devs need to change and meet the demands of the gamer community...the slacker way of playing is doom to fail....elgea stagnated is the forum topic...get a clue, this game needs to change....we need more active players not slacker players...lets do make changes to encourage them to play here

Oh, and about Elgea getting quieter... we still got the newby ring. The big alliances, which are often happy with doing slow diplomacy, often stay and are happy with the additional space, but send outposts to BL. For us nothing changed, the recent wars were lots and lots of excitement, and many still lick their wounds.

Some new, medium sized and more "active" alliances (often not part of the recent fighting) moved to BL in full force without the buffer of neutral towns. That's fine, too... I'll get my armchair out to my balcony and watch the struggles with interest. Politics of that will become interesting, too... Wink

...well, I also know many players who came here for the quietness and slow pace. So with any new activity you'd have to make sure it stays optional (e.g. tournaments).

Yes, this games could be improved at some points... but at any "tweaking" you'd have players pro and contra those changes.

I guess my point of view is totally opposite to that of twilights: the long deletion rule is fine, and many games have more than a month deletion time. And why is 100 members to much per alliance? I remember one post, where an open end to alliance recruitment was suggested... else you'll get even more wings and wings of wings and all the organisation moves out of the game into metagame platforms.
The slow build and especially research time is one of the huge PLUS points of Illyriad. The unique atmosphere is created mostly for that reason, any player without patience would loose interest within the first weeks, and that is FINE. All other games are extremly competitive, but to Illyriad players come to relax and think and chat and to use war sparcely as a form of diplomacy.

@ twilights: I do like "slacker" play... if you want active playstyle, why don't you just search another militant alliance and do war? Or try to attack one of the slack top 10 alliances and see what will remain of you afterwards? I guess it was suggested to you many, many times, in answer to many, many of your posts all circling around the same topic...

omg, u have to look towards my past forum posts....60-90 day deletion rule, sitting outside of alliance, allow to sit two accounts with one account, lack of strategic reason for war, 100 memeber alliance in a game with a small playing base, slow build times, serious lack of young players, the list goes on and on. this game has the bones but it needs twerking! lets hope the devs finally make some changes and encourage active play and not slacker play...slacker play is a sickness that is wide spread in this game due small parts of their structure and needs to be changed....we need more active players! make changes to encourage them to play here! make changes to military functions!!!! i mean what is raid all about and ask urselves why it is seldom used?
