Time to make a seperate realm.

"Even a new realm after 2 years will start to take shape much like this one... You cannot discount experience, knowledge, productivity, and seniority in a sandbox. Those in my opinion are the challenges which players have to overcome and is much like real-life".

Just reading that statement made me think of the Russian Revolution of 1917 when the people decided that they had enough of living under Czarist Romanov rule for over 300 years, and chose communism. Lots of people in the game and new comers will never be able to achieve a level that some of the more experienced players have achieved. If the devs develop a second realm and it turns out to be exactly like the one it is now than at least we were given an option on how it would turn out. At least we were given the chance to play on a second realm, to shape it into what ever the players wanted it to be. I personally don't think it'll end up the same way it is now, sure you'll have alliances from the other realm coming over trying to make it the same. But I assure you you'll have countering forces that want to see the game play out differently. That was one of the goals of the SIN was to destroy the alliance power structure and destroy sitter accounts. See there is a lot of will of the player base to change things, the problem is that that player base gave up and quit the game. Once again I state it is impossible to beat an enemy that has unlimited resources due to either having many sitter accounts or just through years of stockpiling. If this games mechanics were different and one could rush build troops maybe it would be different. But no there was once a will to change the game, read the farewells, read the war declarations of the SIN and you'll see there was once the will.

A new server free of sitters and multi-accounting will bring the will of some of the people to light. I also suspect as I've said before lots of old players will return to this game if notified of the chances and that a new realm opened up.

For those of you already established or are perfectly happy playing with sitter accounts, ect ect. You have the choice to stay on the old realm. No one will force you to come over to the new one. And a second realm will not degrade the game in anyway, it will only enhance it.


Please dev's open a new realm free of sitter accounts, implement a vacation mode in the game, and beef up anti accounting to protect the integrity of the game.

Fair and balanced playing field in matured sandbox?

Now whether it should be done...  No. The argument of 'people will go after new realm just because its new' but is exact carbon-copy of old one... is not really an argument, for me at least. If you fix the above mentioned points, this point will have no need to exist.

I agree Eowan that if they created a new realm that the players from the old one would come over and play a part in the new one. I however don't think that they would be as powerful in it like they are today. You have to realise that most of the power players in Illyriad today are sitting on years of accumulated wealth. Also some are sitting on abandoned accounts which they fleece like a lamb, as its totally in game legal to hold multiple accounts via the sitter feature.

All I'm asking is for a second server so those of us who want to play again can, and I want the sitters and multi accounting out of the game as it ruins the integrity of the game.

Personally I don't see what Illyriad the company has to lose by making a new realm. I do however see why some of the established community would be against the second realm, because it would mean them losing their position of power. They'd have to either come to the new realm and build up or sit on their old one. And I'd venture new players would be more inclined to join a new realm instead of one that's over a decade old. It all has to do with the "go out and venture your own future" or "play by the same old rules, with the same old establishment". So yes I understand why some would be against a new realm.
