Humans and Elves

[spicemustflow]

Well, ideally, in my mind, there would only be one city, with two opposing factions that are violently disposed towards each other to provide the conflict that currently exists between the north and the south. To me, two cities split up the city-loving playerbase too much. A city should always seem like it's bustling.

We don't retain enough players to manage that. In that ideal city, there would be enough players for several elven clans to exist, and enough players to open all of the noble houses. Nobles could actually play the game without interacting with commoners if they wanted to. Commoners might actually live out their whole life without speaking to a noble.

But that's a pipe dream, and I know most people would hate that idea quite a bit.

I'd love to see that.

I, too, endorse the idea of there being but the one city.

[Zerero]

I'd love one city.

I like having two cities, and honestly, with 60+ players at peak, we DO have enough for two cities. Other MUD's I've played would commit murder for half those player numbers at peak time.
It also makes for a good us vs them mindset, gives different regions culture, and makes interesting conflict. And when you have everyone in the one city, everyone begins to whine that there isn't enough different culture and variaty in game choice. It has happened in other MUDS, and it is a terrible idea.

Just my two cents.

Get rid of Storm and Luirs first, if anything.

There has been just one city before.  Unless you count the Reynolte estate, Freil's Rest, and the Sanctuary as, uhh, a city.  To be sure, there were no Tuluki nobles/templars.

That could happen again with the right player actions.  I mean, shit, last year I would have bet a grand IRL that Tyn Dashra would just always be there - well, it's not, anymore.  So, really unexpected things can and do happen.

The way I originally had it thought out, both cultures would still remain within that city, and conflict would be easily found between those cultures. I'd retain the outposts and various tiny civilizations, so that there were places to go and live apart from the city's fray, but the way I imagined the single city working would take everything the two cities are now, and bring them into direct, daily conflict, with a condensing of the playerbase that likes cities.

Blow up Allanak and Tuluk and everyone can flee to Luirs.  All glory to Kurac.

Once in a blue moon I see bands of elves walking around, and though it makes my characters very nervous, it always makes me happy that I see players doing this (though sad that it always happens when I'm not playing an elf.) I would love to see more elven role calls BUT DON'T NOBODY MAKE THE ROLL CALL YET I'm not done yet with my current PC

KRATH-DAMNED SKINNERS.

I reckon there's plenty of d-elves out there right now, just we don't see them because of the whole living in the wilds and be desert elves thing. Whenever there is a big gathering IC, like Luirsfest, plenty of those elves show up. They are there, just the average and even unordinary PC rarely finds them.

Those elves are there alright. I've seen them. I'd go into detail, but I can't.

[The7DeadlyVenomz]

Oh yeah. It's the city elves that suffer from representation - not the desert elves. Those bastards are alive and well.

[Harmless]

Yep, shoulda been clearer but I meant bands of city elves. I almost never see those, except occasionally in Tuluk thanks to the Akai. I can't remember the last time I saw it in Nak. Maybe I've never seen it. And at most in the Rinth I've seen pairs, which is good too.

[RogueGunslinger]

I've never seen 3 city elves in one spot.

[manipura]

Just because you've never seen three in one spot doesn't mean they aren't there

This, bring the sea up and make Allanak near enough to have a port for silt skimmers after getting rid of Storm.  That would be boss as fuck.

Uh. Please no. Storm could do with renovations, but it's literally the only place you can play one type of character.

haha lol Patuk

The cool thing about two cities is that you can relatively disappear for long periods of time. Post characters you can also switch.

Also- for characters who remain in one city, the other city's goings on are not always known (unless you have spies). In one city everyone's up in each others business.

thanks guys
