@Draeris I don't think calling out the staff will get us any further if we want to see this community thrive, we have to work with the staff. The only way we can improve is if we give them good feedback, because they can't fix what they don't know.

I want to give some feedback on the war. Why did i wait to long ? Well look at the megathread. I want to keep this short but hope to spark a discussion on the ideas presented. 1) Less dominating PVP These battles are nice and all. But the stakes are too high and are degrading the state of our RP. Because the stakes are so high people get way too emotional over a videogame. And there is a massive outcry after a battle, i know this is the less mature of the factions showing and alot are quiet but battles need work. We can't turn back from where we are so we need to work on better FactionPVP rules. I propose a weekly battle event between factions where land is untouchable but the spoils are stacks of iron and such. I want to remind everybody that we are a Community, and we should we a closeknit group of people coming together to have fun. Not to spout sh*t at eachother and win the game. 2) RPPVP battles, What happened before the battle was awful to say the least. To name a few i saw prays to Allah and arrows at random. I propose that before the chargesign is given by GMs we are in a state of pure RP. That means complete roleplay, no random arrows , nobody running acros the battlefield at random. If we can manage this we can have little rpevents like the kings meeting up and armies lining up closer at the start. Maybe even some silence while the kings talk. If people can't follow these rules they get benched. Because if you can't behave before the battle you shouldn't participate. This may sound like treating a kid but thats what i saw, childish behavior. 3) Post-PVP event Have an event where both parties come together afterwards, this can even happen in TS to have fun and talk about the battle. This calms everybody down and reinforces the idea of a community. 4) expanding the battle idea I talked about pvping nations in this post, but a monthly event where the factions work together against a common enemy would be great. If a group of people make a dungeon and antags/harbingers/genericenemy take hold and we siege them. I put these ideas in order of importance, but i believe this will make 4.0 a fun world. If you want to talk about an idea presented mention the number and your opinion because quoting will become a cluster of text. Also to whom it matters i am a Dwarf. And this shouldn't be said but refrain from derialing the thread .

Why is this even a post.
