The notion of Global Police is absurd. There are players who state their opinions, and players are certainly free to act and react to the words and actions of other players, but rules? Absurd.


Subatoi's refererence was not specifically to the written rule nor letter of law rather the wielding (meddling?) of power by those whom politicking is of interest.

It of course exists.

Ironically by definition those that engage in this behavior though indirectly curbing sand-boxing, are indirectly pursuing their own right to sandbox.


Spot on Llyorn! Bravo! Clap very simple but very true statement.

a 180ish pop player can do no real harm, a 210k pop player can
and even Valar couldnt stand against the masses so there isnt a real fear factor of them growing out of controll.

Are you being repressed? 

Could this be an issue because players don't want a potentially aggressive player growing cities right beside them?  Perhaps long-term reasoning is saying that these players will get bigger and bigger.  Should we be cautious of warring newbs that may pose a future risk to our own assets, or might we simply convert them from their tendencies towards anger with a few snuggles?

I would think that the main issue behind the proposal of reseting illyriad would be the feeling that a wide variety of alliances wield the control over the way the masses act in illyriad, this of course is true and anyone would be foolish to disagree.

Why just today there was much hubbub about a 180ish pop *newb* fighting a 58ish pop *newb*, when asked to stop the 180ish said "It's a war game in IGM", this caused some established players *10k + population* to publicly talk about giving the 180ish pop *newb* a incentive to think differently, more specifically by attacking him. 

Now the gesture of this may be well meant, but what is occurring here is a forced pacifism, this kind of behavior by the established players is what causes some newer players to ask for a server re-set. For there must be at least a few hundred players if not a thousand who react this way^, no doubt causing the waves of uncertainty to newer players.

Get rid of inactives, that is already being done at a quite satisfactory rate
get rid of baby-sat accounts, that is something that needs to be addressed and the Devs are working on it
Reset Illy, that suggestion is pure lunacy and would kill Illy
