I’m all for the idea of progression, but this is the wrong kind. Don’t get me wrong; in the end, I just don’t like the idea of guns on the server; but I’d like to explain why. Mainly, it’s the difference between the progression of the world, and the progression of the time period setting. Now, I love when progression happens in a world; be it political, geographical, or even technological. However, especially with fantasy medieval, I believe the technical has a cut-off point. Simply put: I don’t believe guns have a place in a world like this. Period. That moves from medieval, or in this case fantasy medieval, to the early modern age. The Early Modern Age, if you haven’t heard of it before, is a real term that begins right around when guns began to appear globally. It’s not only considered an entirely different age, but is different even within how humanity acts within it. The advent of guns changes everything; as the medieval setting’s beauty stems from its dependency on simple projectile weaponry and melee; from its armies, to its buildings, and even down to its culture and mindsets. Guns have no place in such a setting, and I’d at least prefer to keep the setting we have. Edit: To be clear, I get they’ll be super primitive, entry level firearms. That doesn’t matter, though. Everything changes when an army can be armed with guns; and it just doesn’t have the same feeling to it.
