Why do I think that you're drawing conclusions out of thin air again? Edit: I'm getting a little tired of people grabbing things out of context and portraying them as different than they are....

Are you under the impression they are not planning conflict? Have you not read any of their content? The theme around crusades for example? Do you think that means long marches with flowers?

You're attempting to portray them as something they aren't, while pointing at me and accusing me of doing so? :)

Who is NOT planning conflict?

Now, no one is delusional about this as some people are. Wars will cost money, time and resources, and not 1 bloody kingdom will wage war all the time, cause it will just make it collapse. If you can't understand a simple thing like that you keep your mouth shut and stop embarassing yourself with ramblings of a I better not say what.

As if all the plans made here by all the people and kingdoms wont change AFTER RELEASE. Most kingdoms will strugle to survive in few months time after release.

I wish some king would already give you your piece of neutral land so you would shut the fuck up about your fucking personal crusade against Nirath.

For the records, I don't really want neutral land. It would be a building right in the middle of a warzone, surrounded by far larger armies than occupied it. I just want the MECHANICS to be in there. Non-kingdom land opens up the opportunity to have contested areas with relatively trouble-free combat.. just something to keep the pvp nuts occupied and competing without hitting too much of the wider player base. Call it a buffer zone, and an opportunity to "field test" mechanics without triggering a change of state.

That would be bad... A ten year story surely wouldn't be expected to undergo a few-month end to kingdom conflicts with an immediate victor? The continent consists of anything up to 100k players, and (X)00k NPCs. If you can "slap the continent" like that, somethings not working.

I think a kingdom managing to "flatten the continent" within a few months will damage the games success. If it's an aggressive bunch you can well imagine the policies and loss of players that ensue, short of a sudden triggered "global revolt". Of all the kingdoms, this one provides the greatest prompts to prepare for aggression. Like yours ;)

Confirmed "Oracle plans on conquering land" Direct quote: "I want land" followed by warzone and he's clearly planning on combat.

So watch out, Oracle out for blood, he even admits to being nuts.

Confirmed 2016.

It's all true. Build up large armies and be prepared folks ;) lol

EDIT: I would have taken that approach from the outset to stir people into building up defensive armies, but coming from a count it wouldn't be taken seriously enough

Anyone should prepare for conflict from anyone. It's not so hard to put on a friendly face, only to turn around and slip a knife through the ribs of a trusting 'ally'. It's also not hard to find some "just" reason to rise up against someone, be it your neighbor or your neighboring kingdom.

Some people are more open about their approach. Frankly I'd like to see more kingdoms show their teeth instead of putting out vague promises of free land and flowers and puppies and peace. "Desert Kingdom" and "Crusades" sounds like a more interesting approach than "peaceful generic medieval kingdom #22" when you're looking to delve into a story.

I'm NA and don't have a horse in this race, but your posts make me more and more interested in Nirath! Not sure that was your goal though.

I don't know who these Nirath guys are, but they sound great. I think ill check them out now.

Thanks OP.

For what I have read of the game so far it's about conflict, that's actually what drives the story forward. So I don't see any problem about what this Nirath trying to do.

And as Vucar said, they sound great and I will check them out as well.

If you want an alternative in Nirath, I'll be running a production/supply focused town.

I'm on Nirath Discord as Grayshade.

Everyone's welcome though. The more the merrier.

Do you honestly believe any kingdom can flatten even one kingdom in a few months? Let alone the whole server? Even Vornair with their two kingdoms wouldn't be able to pull that off. It takes months to even build up your own kingdom, let alone going around attacking people.

Then even on the course of attacking, everyone will do it at some point. Sure probably won't be for awhile. But if you think there is some carebear kingdom out there, well not much hope for you.

So you "leak" this secret when it's not one at all. But you keep going onto your trolling. You seem to like it as much as Zultra. Are you two in the same kingdom?

Si vis pacem para bellum?

Seriously, once again those stupid buffer zones? Since this game is also about survival, why would you limit PvP/wars to specific zones? The game has perma death ffs, but you want wars to be pseudo instanced.

Nooope. No, Never, Please god no.

Jokes aside, creating any sort of 'Safe zone' goes entirely against one of the major purposes of this game. Part of the fun is the danger, but also would hinder an entire aspect of crime and justice. You'd just see a bunch of OPCs huddled in there.
