If this idea were implemented, there would be numerous limitations on its effectiveness, and those who use it. By “Firearms” I believe that muskets are the only acceptable group to be allowed into this server. Muskets will also cost a considerably larger amount than bows due to their revolutionary way of killing. There is also the reload time which would also be considerably slower than a bow, and are heavier. Which are large drawbacks when transporting troops, or engaging in combat with other players. Bows are silent and can be used for assassinations. As opposed to muskets; which are far from silent, but will instill fear into those on the other side of the barrel on an open field. There are cons to this new weapon, but there are also enough pros to make it worth while. When it comes down to it; all that matters is location. Archers in a forest will defeat musketeers, but musketeers in the plains would defeat archers. There is also the topic of the server aging, and I don’t mean getting less popular or active. I mean that years are passing, and technology is supposed to pass with it, so at some point in time; muskets are going to be created. Or at least something like it. Change is hard to adapt to for veterans I’m sure, but it is something that we must all come to terms with in order to move forward.
