it seems that i won't be able to help building a temple
so i'll do other stuff.

I enjoyed it too, somehow... even though I'm not into PvP. Maybe because I'm a lucky desert forager Tryker, so I have "something else" to do...
That brings some changes to what I'm used to do in-game, and that's not so bad, unlike you are all claiming

Some improvements for the honour points would be good tho. My first impression is that gaining points in PvP is easier than through harvesting, thus encouraging PvP too much imo.

As much as it hurts me, I have to agree with DT for now. I haven't had a chance to really play it yet, but he's got a point. Play with it for a while, you don't have to renew tomorrow, so quit all the announcing you're going to quit before you have to.

Hmmm, let's see:

PvP - Didn't like it at all. The desert island, with the center "stage" made it feel like a sub-game to SoR. "King of the hill" gameplay springs to mind, I would much rather play "Catch the Chicken" and Quake2Action (both I play regularly at local LANs ).
Harvesting - Doing that already elsewhere, but at least I get exp.
Crafting - Doing that already elsewhere, no exp gained.
Missions - Gives kami/karavan (only?) and points on the statue. A race against the rest of the server for a chance in the top 10. *shrugs* Not my kind of fun or entertainment.

So for me this event is only interesting as a story, not something to participate in.

Is episode good or bad for SoR? I don't really know, there will be a lot of fallout I think, but in the long run it might turn out slightly better.

You don't seem to get it....almost everything that's been added so far is PvP oriented from what I've seen only the crafting missions don't require PvP so if you don't want to PvP for whatever reason you can't play it as going to the new zone makes you subject to ganking and other PvP....

I'd love to endure the pain of agreeing with DT on this but sadly he's is dead wrong just like lots and lots of digger who hopefully entered the old lands to dig and got nuked instead, over and over and over again....

You can dig away from the center hill, they put some kitin free areas near the desert wall for the q50 harvesters.
If that place will remain safe for the "easier" targets, remains to be seen.

lets just hope that those that chose not to take part arn't likely to be nerfed on any new skills/craftplans/titles that may be part of episode two, but will help....

I'm loving it. There's no DP from being killed by other players in the old lands so I don't care if I do get killed.

It's not the PvP I love, though. I don't care one way or the other about the PvP, though it does make it...interesting. I tend to look at the whole thing predominantly from an RP perspective, so I see the homin vs. homin conflict as inevitable. What I find really interesting and impressive is that homins are contributing to a joint effort for their respective sides. And the involvement of foragers, crafters, and fighters. And I love the structures; so shiny.

So I'm loving the whole thing. I'm easily entertained, though, so my opinion doesn't really count for much.

using rotten food is not a fair comparison. Instead you could say that you are a vegetarian, and PvP is meat. Some of us like meat. You do not, so you send it back.

Personally, I'm enjoying it.

I like one thing with tonights slaughter. My character got a picture of who her enemies are. In my opinion the game has been slightly too frictionless on that part. Bringing what we learned about other homins behaviour back to the "regular lands" is ok I hope?
