A new servers would do the following things: - Encourage many players to buy prestige - Begin a gold rush on the new server for land - Have thousands of wars involving 5-100 troops. - Allow the already well organized alliances to dominate the new continent with their organization and team work - Make all the time and effort put into Elgea mean so much less, since new servers are being spun up. - Segment the playerbase The most important part of Illyriad is that it is 1 map, 1 world, 1 consistent land. We are all in it together. There are plenty of squares that remain unoccupied, and if you really want that +7 food square with the +20 food production right next to it, then ready your armies and go take it. If your upset that larger older alliances have already claimed all the great spots, form a coalition and take them out.
I do hope that a new land mass will be discovered and the map will be expanded when new features are released. This would encourage competition and extra land while keeping everyone in the same server. |

There is posibility that making another continent or continents would actualy cause wars.It would be fresh, free new land and everyone will make run for it, especialy smaller growing alliances.

Ah but is a new server more land?
It would be a legion of newbie accounts vying for domination over that server, it would not be so peaceful as you would think, I can think that many people who are in charge of tiny alliances here would gladly take a risk to invest time into a new server to see if they could become top dog.
I think that you have 1/3 of the people wanting a new server for more land, 1/3 to get the feeling of everyone kind of on the same starting line (prestige users will always have a slight head ahead) and the other 1/3 would want the new server to have to be a blank canvas for a new political masterpiece to arise.

I disagree here. With the good spots running low it will create pressure and eventually begin to change the game on its own. If you add more land it will continue to be farmville. |
+1. I find it amusing that many of the same people who keep asking for a new server are the same as those that complain about lack of conflict. By far the best way to ensure future conflict is by NOT creating more land and thereby increasing pressure for space.

Still plenty of room in the map right now- given alot of good spots are taken but theres still plenty of room. GM's have stated theres new additions coming such as new continents or a continent- i cant remmy if it was plural- point being they will implement this when they feel that its needed- and theyve stated recently they dont think its needed yet. On top of that they have a ton of other features and issues theyre working out. One step at a time.

with the age of the game, then its going to be up to the older bigger players to start conflict, i dont see that happening, instead we might be discouraging new players playing here, a new land mass would be fun, but again is this fair to the older players and will it stagnant the play in the older land mass, this is truly a big decision for the devs, i do hear they expanding the new player region so they must be aware of the problem, remember we have a two account rule here, is it possible that with a new server that people will leave their alt account here and play their second account in a new server thus freeing up lots of land mass? another question....how is conflict from over crowding going to be fair to the newer players? we might need some population control here...rofl....other peoples thoughts?

Granlik. A game such as Illy will attract several thousands of gamers who are really unsuited to it as all they wish is to join, grow very fast, fight anyone in reach, sound off, and just want to become the top dog for few weeks.
Illys working fine. Leave well alone.

In my opinion there are some millions of people wandering around the internet looking for a "good" game. A game such as Illy will attract several thousands of gamers who are really unsuited to it as all they wish is to join, grow very fast, fight anyone in reach, sound off, and just want to become the top dog for few weeks. They then leave which is a good thing for those of us who prefer Illy as it is now.
