See what I found:
http://forum.illyriad.co.uk/war_topic1048.html

and (my thread about sov. and how to improve the fighting):

And the Drejan thread about meta gaming

All threads about how to get more war into Illy without removing the player base (=income for devs)

Yes, thank you Luna.  As I relatively new player I would be horrified to lose my two small towns so arbitrarily so I can imagine what people with more would feel.
As for anyone who thinks there are too many inactives, why don't you clean them up yourselves and give your siege engines something to do?  In fact, form an alliance for like-minded players to speed things up - maybe call it  the No Inactive Players Society or NITS for short Big smile.

Thank for addressing this Luna.  I feel there is closure at last.  (^_^)  Now on to more important matters....

Just wanted to pop in for a moment to address any suggestion that we would reset the Illy server. An actual server wipe or reset, as might happen in other games, is against the core values that the game was built on. Read: http://www.illyriad.co.uk/GameInformation/Principles

No matter what we do to expand the game, welcome and encourage new players, that will just not be it. If the devs suggested it to me, it would make me go all "giant squid of anger"* on all of our players' behalf. And you don't want GM Luna to turn into a giant squid of anger. ;)

Reset = no
Multiple worlds / servers for different play styles = yes

Easy enough at the level you are (size wise and alliance wise.) For most of the rest of "us" not so much.

The size he is now or the size I am now for that matter has nothing to do with it. My brother and I started our alliance when we were about 800 pop apiece. hard work, "a bit of the ole grey matter" to quote Mr. Poirot, and the ability to sort things out when needed is all that counts for the most part.

But I can assure you we did not get here because it was easy then or now. No one is a free entity in Illy able to do as he or she pleases. If a player, no matter how big, displeases the community then it is only a matter of time before they are reined in and usually not softly.
