Hiya Illyrians, 

There are lots of different paths to take in Illyriad and the open-ended nature of the game is definitely one of its strengths. Though most players probably dabble in a little bit of everything in their time in game, if you had to choose one, what would be your favorite aspect of gameplay and why? I'd love to hear from you, so feel free to elaborate on your choice. 

Luna

I love military startegies and the diplomacy that we can use here in Illy. Between both my heart is beating but my vote will goes to the military side.

I like all of it, as most do, but if I had to choose, I'd say meeting people and talking with them.  I like to help out people that need the help, and also enjoy looking at the forums.  The Social aspect of Illy is awesome.

I enjoy city building the best, but the social part of it is also a key element. Had to vote for city building.

well i can not realy chose one (despite that i voted :P )
but i would talk a bit of each
city building) is realy good that if combined with other factors might turn this a good game however is not the city build that alone makes me be in the game
trade) i love trade so without trade this would not even be a game i would like to play once again the fact this game have is quite great but still don't meen i will play just for that once there are a lot games with trade
diplomacy and military) it is realy inovator the fact there are this 2 seperate ways of hostilizate with other players and in military case there are a lot to talk abou once it is quite realistic and of course there is normal that can be camping troos and that must be something to call them back is just no realistic that they can only be 15 days or that diplos can't or that they consume the gold at the presise time being in the city or miles away however this is a game and can not be totaly realistic because if it was my gold would be worth something out here :) this is defenetly an extreamly positive aspect of the game and combined with the last 2 WOULD make me already play this game
however we don't stop here (thats why this is not just a good game)
quests) well quests is a bad point is not negative once is each people desision to make them or not but is not positive and we can all see that once we are trying to buff tavern are also other players taking it down to get some more T2 buildings quests scores are on average prety low and is not as much hard to get in top20 as any other (ex:pop)
unless of course we are talking about misteries in wich case i thing is a realy positive point (i am frekye by trade and misteryes)
comunity/social) well i must tell that when i started playing i thought lets see if this game is realy good... well i am not much violent however i was used to games beeing violent and having to protect myself even in the first days... thats why i picked orcs (i thought that people would think twice before attacking a orc) and they did because untill now i was never attacked/stealed
i found it to be strange there was nothing in toturial about troops so i has forced to go forum look for the info and that was when i found the maravilous post by mananaaaa and i got it i went to GC and i recived 50k gold when i had only 20 or sothing also lots of basics... etc
without this HUGE BIG positive point i would have left the game because i were short in time and could not spend so much time in pc so this was the big point that made me realize there are other good points so i picked this one

Easy decision, the people.  However, I do enjoy the variety of gameplay choices that make complex strategies possible.

I am not enjoying it as much as when I first started. Although there are lots of options, the main ones chosen by most alliances, are personal behaviour and city building and that seems to be such a waste. This game good would so much more exciting if it had an in built set purpose that would capture a players imagination.

I enjoy the codex and lore most.

I'm gonna say Trade, although I think military would be about even with that, trade makes me more money! And quests would be better if there was more variety, I get bored with having the same quests, and they're too much work :P

This is definitely the best online community I have ever come across. The people here are in a completely different mindset to other games. 

Quest-wise, I'm normally such a quest kinda girl but they are far too easy to complete and very little reward. The mysteries are good though (well, I've not done them all yet.. but so far, so good xD)
