Stop now!

Posting after a troll... bad luck for a lifetime for me .

We've had FDU members suffer such attacks as well, although it's been a few weeks since that happened.

Basically as a developed character in this game, I view theiving from new accounts as being extremely petty and cowardly.

For a start, they dont even have enough resources to make the cost of diplomats worth while.  I would advise any new accounts that are suffering in this way to build up their mage towers and research rune spells.  Even if you can just kill 10 theives at a time it will prove costly to the perpetrator.

Not that I agree with thieving new players but I have to say that it is nowhere near as bad as it was when I started playing just 10 months ago. Before the 4 week rule a player could start up, get to 200-300 pop and then other players would farm them while they were still active knowing that if whether they drove them out of the game or not they would always have a constant source of resources and gold.

Now if the worst thing that happens is some people get a few thief attacks then that is nowhere near as bad as having armies hitting your cities every few hours.

Long and short, join an alliance that can protect you or rune up and build some diplo defense. The biggest strength of an MMORPG is that anything goes within the parameters of the game.

I played Travian for many years. I stopped because unless one used prestige there was little chance of any success in the game. New players had no chance and were either turned into farms or they quit. I do not want this to happen here. New players breathe life into our world and ensure its continuity. Lets all try keep it that way.

Hey, I'm the leader of an alliance (Havoc Unleashed) that is getting repetitively attacked, for no cause. I can understand your position Clavius, but I've gotten mails sent to me by players when Zork (who appears to have stopped the attacks) was admitting to attacking us. Well that stopped AFTER we kept up the tracking for over 14 hours. Yes we constantly had someone monitoring those birds, so we know who they were sent from. Zork was northwest, and now that he's stopped we're getting attacked from the South. Again, no cause, certainly no one sending anyone in the alliance mail about a reason, real or perceived. These attacks are against Random members of my alliance, and for no known reason. So yes Clavius I can see there needing to be proof, but following the birds is the best we have, and we are taking screen shots of where and when they disappear into people's towns.
