We have the Tomblands, the Elven City, the Desert Ruin, Lost Balian and a small ruined keep. Doubt thats it.
What I believe is the following:
Nothing is going on. Let's face it: Conflict is essential but it's not happening.
If I wouldn't have gotten to fight bandits an Orenian Legionary, if there wouldn't have been wars and all this feeling of an extremely dynamic history I can be part of, I certainly wouldn't have stayed. There anything dynamic. The war rules are made to make the server stagnant.
We don't see silly bandit PvPers. But actual conflicts.
I think a huge part are the conflict rules that try to prevent conflict. There is no fun in conflict.
The other part might be that vortex is a little complicated. Or there is no explaining to it. Still.
My solutions:
a) Make conflict happen
b) Make Vortex explain videos and link them to new players, it's really not that hard and I'm considering doing it even though it's not my job.
The more I think about it, the more I see it. In Atlas I was ******* scared of bandits, enemies and whatever.
I don't even see bandits anymore. It Arcas we had big battles. Oren itself fought among each other and for a still fairly new player this was exciting... But whats exciting today? There is no more RP Drama... only OOC BS :')
