Can We Hold Winterfell?

((Ghost towns are a disservice to the server and Winterfell won't be so sexy when the undead capture it))

((And yet a ghost town is better for the lore and feel of the server than an open field. A ruin is better for the server than an open field. A demonic fort is better for the server than a open field. Honestly you try to tear down Winterfell and you will have more than the undead to worry about. The fort is leaps and bounds ahead of anything else anyone else has built in the North [or Oren in its entirety] why would you destroy something so well built that somebody put so much time into? How would you like your creations to be torn down simply because you can't give them much time. Winterfell will be repopulated, give it some time and if you care about the North's defense put some guards in Winterfell))

((NairOg doesn't go there anymore because everyone else left and he is the Lord of the town. And to your stupid point you made(in bold): If you actually read the first post you wouldn't have said that. Snowy Fields had dozens of people trying to help defend it but it got destroyed. Winterfell only have some Alstion rangers checking on it every now and then but they can't stay in Winterfell. Other then the Alstion rangers there are about 5 members of the FOA stationed there but 5 is a lot less the a couple dozen so it will fall to the Undead like Snowy Fields and unlike Snowy Fields the Undead will only have to attack once to take Winterfell compared to the 5 or 6 times they attacked Snowy Fields because of how Winterfell has hardly anybody defending it. And we are thinking in our characters minds here: "Why defend a ghost town?" we make decisions in our characters minds not in what looks best on the wiki.))

((Huh. Respectful conversation has failed I suppose. You make decisions in game based upon your characters views but you cannot always act upon those actions in game due to meta reasons ( as a burglar you cannot rob "locked" chests as Krog the Destroyer you cannot destroy a protected city all willy nilly.) You cannot simply deface the world because your character wants to create and open pit mine. You have to tailor your roleplaying to what is accepted. Likewise you're "character" didn't decide "Hey, lets pull down Winterfell" YOU decided to destroy somebodies work in order to bolster your own. Even if the undead were to turn Winterfell into their own keep it wouldn't hurt Alstion anymore than than having a much larger, much better defended keep the same distance to the north of Alstion.

Again removing Winterfell would be an extreme disservice to the server. The City is built expertly (and much better than hodgepodge Alstion), it oozes with potential lore and character. It also looks sexy to both new players exploring and veteran characters who see it again and again.

The best thing for the server would be to have the city transferred to somebody who plays often (such as deanofantastico although his Winterfellian character is now dead). This player will then recruit fresh guards and citizens to the fort and re liven it. This way we save YOU the time tearing it down, save the server an iconic location, keep a well defended fort in the north so Alstion doesn't sit alone, and make those of us who enjoy Winterfell happy.

So Winterfell's creator has given up on it?))

What ever happened to Winterfell's creator anyways?))

((His computer broke and now he has left Winterfell because no one lives there))

((He understands that he simply needs to invite more? I bet most towns have a decent turnover rate.))

My two cents would be to make it a penal colony, or a place to make your families name known. Think of the NightWatch from 'A Song of Ice and Fire'.
