Or rather then whining about it, the other nations could all team up and fight Oren back down? The orcs, dwarfs, elves and kha would have enough manpower to be able to surely.

Not really. The Orcs and Dwarves have pretty small playerbases, the Kha are tiny and the Elves aren't as large as they used to be. I'd say the Humans would have as much players as all of them combined.

Also:

 

The only reason Oren is able to 'steamrole' everybody as I have heard it called. Is because they OOCly have the most players. For whatever reason lots of people like conflict RP and the life of medieval humans. But do not for a second say that Oren is the most powerful nation because of RP or IC reasons, as that is simply not true.

 

Because of this, it is simply very unfair to tell the other nations to deal with it in RP and attack Oren back.

I understand why people like the idea of conquest, in that it could be solved through unique uprising roleplay and what not. But what if it started getting out of control? If the server was open to domination, don't you think some players would make it their personal goal to control other lands? Sure, some might accept that they would be overthrown, but there would also be players who would keep coming back, trying to take over. Imagine your nation finally reclaimed their land and became independent, and within a week your under siege again. Conquest roleplay would get incredibly dry and aggravating. I think some people would stop respecting the diversity of the server.

I think people should also consider that resistance, rebellion, and uprising is not always an option. Not everyone roleplays a warrior. I think that's the most important idea here. Think about all the simple shop keepers, merchants, maids, librarians, farmers, peasants, or any other character who can't really hold a sword. Being dominated would be extremely detrimental to their roleplay. It isn't like they can drop everything and join a resistance in they have to keep themselves afloat through by other means.

I agree with Danny on this one, although I respect the opinions of those who do not. My apologies if this was written in a confusing manner.

Aye, this isn't a faction server. Though seeing conquest could be neat as long areas, such capitals and some land around it are not conquerable. Personally I still feel that could be the best solution. 

 

 

I will not get into some long, detailed post since I like to get straight to the point.

My question was omitted from the above summary. I request the ban of whoever did this.

The Dwarvws has very large army. It would almost be a fair fight.if all races except Oren teamed up they would almos surely beat Oren. With this new rule I am wondering the point of war at all.

I thought it was the Orcs job to be the War-Hungry race of Warriors. Where and when did the Humans get all of this hate and blood lust from?

Q. What will happen with PvP? Will it be default?

 

A. This is an RP server, and not a PvP or factions server. People will always try to argue that RP fighting has powergaming, but if this happens to be the case then you should report the player in question. This has been discussed for a very long time, and what it comes down to is that everyone will have a different opinion on which system is best. In the end we are a roleplay server and not a PvP server.

 

Can we atleast get a public poll? An old poll shows 75% of the server is pro pvp, wouldn't be too fair to shut them out without a poll atleast, or meeting halfway.

Why would you even bring up something like that? This is a Role play server. It should never be a conflict about pvp and rp. Rp should "always" take priority over PVP. PVP should "only" be initiated when both parties agree to it. You don't like it, you can leave and go to a pvp server. No one is stopping you.

Link this poll. I highly doubt this is true.

Appearantly you've never heard of Aegis.

 

Also, mister here is a pic of the old poll

I myself voted for the 3v3+ , only because RP fighting should be default where there is less ground for all of the terrible things that comes with it.

[Nefarious Aus Shitpost 891]

I remember that poll quite clearly and yes, RP fighters you are the minority, put it to a poll please, I would rather the players get a say.

[Elfen_ 232]

I don't understand why people PvP. Really you're only taking away the learning of how to RP fight, Again must I remind people as others have, this is RP and not a PVP/FACTION server. Majority of anything should be RP. PvP can be unfair since someone who has lesser combat experience yet good at pvp beat someone with more rp combat experience that they gain in rp that are not so good at PVP.

People who PvP fight are actually some of the better RP'ers on this server... The thing is a lot of people, myself included, absolutely despise RP fighting because it is basically synonymous with powergaming and we just happen to be the older people on the server who remember a time when RP extended BEYOND fighting. Ever since RP fighting became the norm, normal RP just died... PvP fighting had some scare to it so most people wouldn't engage in it WHICH IS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.

I agree with some points made, but I do not think PVP fights is an answer. I think it should be a rule, after you die in a RP fight, you half to do /damage 20. This is coming from somebody who has lost every RP fight he has been in. Powergaming is a problem, but I really dislike PVP because a 3 year old halfling can beat an adult orc warrior. At least in RP fights that **** couldn't happen.
