Peace broke out in Aelius Dunes

[sidusar]

I was in the dunes last night, and srr to say it for all non pvpers, but the peace was really boring :s . As a homin who hasn't enough craft and/or harvest lvl's to participate, it really s*cked last night. Ok I understand that sometimes there peace is good, but really, dont make it peaceful all the time, you're only killing the fun of (pretty) new players...

Yeah, we understand all that. But as hard as may be for some people to believe, there are those that just enjoy foraging peacefully too. With an all out war raging around them and everyone just blasting every red dot in sight, they can't do that and then they're the ones bored and only having their fun killed.

I don't actually mind the war as long as it's about equal. I can help push the Kami back, dig for 15 minutes, fight off the Kami counterattack, if succesfull dig for 15 more minutes, if unsuccesfull go back to step 1. Problem is most of the time during the day the Kami totally outnumber the Karavan, and the latter can't even leave camp. So now the Karavans are bored because they can't do anything and the Kami fighters are bored because they have no challenge, only ones having fun are the Kami diggers. At night, it's the other way around with the Karavan outnumbering the Kami.

I'm all for alternating between peace and war at set time periods though, so both can have their fun. Maybe the most honest solution for all parties involved would just be war if both sides are about equal, and peace if it gets too one-sided. But it could be hard to get everyone to agree on something like that.

Well peace has brocken out tonight (Friday) too. At least the building will get done quicker.

I'm thinking the camp camping is stoopid. Ifyou get pushed back to your camp, you cannot come up on the plateau for an hour, or 1 IG day. That would keep it under control and limit the mayhem.

This way teams could organize for the attack. We can build the game mechanic in if it is not there.

Noin.

Or the diggers could dig, and the people that like to fight could all meet up and fight back and forth along the south wall.

Here, here!

If the only pleasure you recieve in PvP can come from ganking the helpless, seek counseling.

Nothing at all is stopping the fighters and mages from blasting the heck out of each-other, just please, leave a handful to guard the diggers from the Kitins .

These out-breaks of peace are the only reason I renewed my sub for this month, they are proof that some players have a little civilization in them.

Amen to that Bax.
I've been lucky lately in that I can play during the day.
Aside from the odd 'problem child' peace has held pretty well, with battles more likely in the evening with more people around.
Even there, diggers are being spared by more and more people.
So, finally, the community spirit seems to be pulling through, despite everything.
