Tarannon 8 Share Posted August 14, 2011 It is with deep sadness that I have to admit that Snowy Fields has fallen - and with the utmost of hatred and bitterness that I have to admit that the undead and their followers have won. Me and Zerragon see no other choice than to salvage what we can, and travel to another part of the realm. A peaceful part, if such a thing exist, that is more suited to our serene nature. We want to build and create - and not have to watch our creations being defiled and destroyed by undead filth. To the valiant heroes that have fought in the defense of the town, we salute you! Songs will be written about your bravery and heroism, and you all have our eternal gratitude. Especially our Captain, Tylos. We wish you the best of luck, wherever fate takes you. If you ever want another job as a captain-of-the-guard, look us up in a few months time, when our new town is finished. I can not promise the same level of action at that post, but perhaps you too are battleweary, like us? To Ogland, our very first resident, and our most dedicated resource througout the building of Snowy Fields, I hope you find another place to settle down as the guildmaster you have shown, and deserve to be. Your hard work on our moat and the endless amount of sandstone contribution to the mage guild and the planned temple, is not forgotten. When our new settlement is completed, we will initiate contact and hope you will visit us. Who knows, we may have put up some creations to honor you. If anyone ever hears any rumours of an ancient Aengul temple underneath the ruins of Snowy Fields, disregard them! They are not true ((we never got the time to actually build the temple)), so it is no point digging for it. OOC: The first month of playing on this server, and building Snowy Fields, has been the most fun gaming experience I've had in the twentyfour years I've played games, but the last couple of weeks have been the opposite. The intensity and frequency of the undead attacks have escalated to a level that took away all the fun for me (and Zerragon, I believe) since we play on this server to roleplay and to BUILD. Some will probably say that we picked a really bad spot for our town, and that is very true (I can almost see the undead main fort from my tower) - but the thing is that we started to create Snowy Fields before the Rise of the Undead was even announced. If we had known it would become the hotspot of the undead vs. living war, we would never had started to build there at all. Ah, well, I know this is the nature of the game, and we just had bad luck in choosing the site of our town. The next reason why we've decided to give up on SF, is that we seem to live in another timezone than most of the war-minded players, since all the hardest action seem to be when we sleep. It is kind of depressing having to spend half an hour repairing your city every other time you log in, because of an attack you had no idea happened, until long after. And just to be clear, I am not bitching and whining (if it sounds like it, I am sorry). I am just stating the facts and the way I feel. When something stops being fun, you have to try and rectify the situation. We love this server (there is no other real alternative, as far as I can see) and want to continue to play and have fun. The only option I see is to leave SF and build a new settlement some place far away, where we can live in peace, hopefully. Since both me and Zerragon is diamond VIPs (I'm actually a steel VIP as well, since I donated $25 even before my application was accepted :) ), I hope that the GMs will understand our plight and let us move the protection zone from Snowy Fields to another place. And I am very sorry, Jmesserschmidt, that you had to create 48 subregions for houses and such, just to see it all go away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalek348 1962 Share Posted August 14, 2011 ((It was nice to see Snowy Fields flourish from a little wooden village to a town with brilliant architecture. Even though I was the cause of this, it's sad to see you go. Who now will bear the brunt of our attacks? :[)) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerragon Stormborn 4 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Why not hand snowy fields over to another who are willin' to fold the fort? ooc: ((Well, it has tecnically fallen, spared because of a Rollback just seems wrong and Im sure the undeads will redo what was done soon enough. The good thing about the rollback was that we got to make loots of video from SF, and we will make a mounring video, and some sneak peaks for our new project.)) As my friend Tarannon explained, when we created the town in the first place, there were no undeads around. We had no idea we would be the undeads closest neighbours, and that sure is doomed to fail in the end. Yesterday we both set out for Haven for support. After a long perilious journey, we found the marvel og a city, just to find it utterly abandoned. Standing in the center we shouted for attention and help, but alas no reply. The aengul temple beneath Snowy Fields and its secrets will be lost forever. Me and Tarannon are starting a new project someplace far away, and until we are satisfied and have the core functions up and running, we wont reveal our location.

argonian 14254 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I'll miss Snowy Fields. Those undead pushed us to our limits and nothing was getting done. The town was reversing, people were afraid of coming and there were certain destroyed parts of town we could never fix. I hope I'll see you two again one day and whenever you are done your new town I would love to become a guard there. Farewell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerragon Stormborn 4 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Thanks Tylos, I think we will invite you over earlier in the process. We just need to be sure of our location and get a few basic ideas up and running first. Right now we have been transferring some resources form Snowy Fields before they end up in the hands of the undead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilsyde 0 Share Posted August 14, 2011 This is quite a strange event. My constant travels have taken me back to Snowy Fields once again - I've a house there and visit that town as often as I can - and was "lucky" enough to be there with Grimbeard and the others, defending Snowy Fields but at one point the undead have broken through which I think was another turning point. Them shouting "Snowy Fields is already ours, clear off mortals!" affected the morale of men and women alike, I'm sure. ((On one hand, I applaud this event. It's superb how things change on this server and a small, hated group of undead can overtake a well developed town. They and their fortress wasn't just there for show, and it's nice to see that they have been given a chance (by themselves and by the other admins no doubt) to do something like this, instead of sitting there and killing/scaring off stragglers. That would be incredibly boring in the long run, especially for the undead players. I'm not one of them but I think they do deserve huge accomplishments like these and these things make Aegis less peaceful and a lot less boring (since the four main races don't generally wage war against each other). On the other hand, I feel sorry for the two lords of Snowy Fields (Zerragon and Tarannon) since they must've put weeks of hard work into their town. At least you had fun doing so, guys! You both have a positive attitude, and that should earn you a lot of respect - instead of ranting and leaving, you'll begin to create a new town. I'm sure you'll have tremendous fun building this new place, just think about how staying in one place, surrounded by the same old walls can become stale after a while ;) (The latter goes for the undead as well and this is one of the reasons why I'm happy they are able to expand like this))) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerion 12 Share Posted August 14, 2011 It was sad to see Snowy Fields fall! We could try to reclaim it.... but the Undead would 'again' take control of it! The Undead overpower us... we don't stand a chance! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
argonian 14254 Share Posted August 14, 2011 We need magic if we are ever going to challenge them. The Ascended really should make a base near the undead base so they can help us fight them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
