Indeed it is, but there's something you're missing. Obviously I could be wrong, but I'm guessing from your post count that you're a reasonably new player? The 'no storyline but bucket loads of kitins' invasion has been tried before, and it didn't really go down well to be honest. In fact, invasions like that are just like the old beta test invasions - they have little point, little reward, and most if not all players get bored of it very quickly.

Think about it a bit more, and I'm sure you'll reach the same conclusion. What you want at the moment is something different - however, I can almost guarantee that what you don't want is an invasion like you mentioned...

I'm playing since 5 months, so I've missed the "big invasion event". But something is more than nothing, even if we get bored in one month we played one month. I don't say I want continuous invasion, but something, anything...

And tell me what's the difference between getting bored of lvling and getting bored of fighting with kitins. I don't see any.

ps: and please, don't make assumptions on post count, it's like saying you don't know things because you don't talk enough

I think a little invasion would be nice - FF seems a good place for one.

I have no idea why you posted that. My assumption was purely that you hadn't been playing long, and had thus not been involved in the 'lots of kitins no storyline' invasions. I never mentioned how much you knew about the game, and my comments were nothing like you hinted above. That would be an automatic assumption that someone is criticising you :)

I don't know how old you are, but I'm 29 - so please, when you read my posts, remember they are coming from a 29 year old, who's been playing this game on and off for 12 months :)

Why is it a problem what the high player run to it?
Have they not the right then the have grinded almost for ever,to finaly get a change to get some kind of payback for all those lvls?
Aen and lixie are just 2 thing to get or do, think if you got 100 difrent goals like what to do what would make a change.
Why not just do as they have done with the exp system, if you over say 150 no reward/item cus you to high and need to try something else in you lvl range insted?

Now imagine hundreds more following them, moving as a single, swarming army. Battles of this scale will require dozens of players working together to fend off serious invasions."
The vison almost brings tear to my eyes, yes this we need :)

Flaming Forest is scary. Let the Kitin have it if they promise to leave us alone forever!

I want big raids like the old days as do alot of others. We didnt need epic storey lines back then cos it was just alo0t of fun every one fighting for the same corse. It gave us a reson to lvl up higher so we would be better prepared for the next attack. Now it just seems to much like a pointless goal for those that do want to be high lvl and once you are there theres really nothing to do but suck it up and lvl another branch. Play events and types like that are all fun and all but it is something you can do at say lvl 50, so really IMO there is no longer a need for high lvl players.

Agree fully.

I think the last "big" event in early januar was good becuse allmost every one had time to be there or at least see it.

Also events should be for every one not only for those what happen to be online a saturday at 23:00 or so.
