My feelings of the world Post Tuluk...

[slvrmoontiger]

They could always play in the old tribes that have existed for a long time and have been open. I mean that's up to people to decide. There are more choices than Allanak and Red Storm though. Look at all your options when creating a character. That's what I normally do.

Having helped with the revamp of Arabet and Seik docs, i'd heartily recommend people to fill out the human tribal ranks. They're awesome. Trust in Nomos.

I am NEVER satisfied with my other clanmates though. I'm my own worst enemy when it comes to enjoying this game.

Roundears suck.  (No offense meant Eury)
Desert elves are the rulers of every terrain. Go and rule the northlands.

Do we get a preview at all of any of the changes/updates? Cause I'm really curious now.

It was a huge help and the docs have become better. I'd still like to see more development of the Arabet docs. The Seik ones have history and story behind there's... The Arabet ones just have some believe this and that. I'd like to see some sort of documentation for Arabet that supports the whole theory of them believing the sprung from the Red, something along those lines would give Arabeti players a history to hold onto and something to say where they came from as a people.

If Sun Runners are desert elves, are ATV grass elves?

You know, I think that Northron culture is still something you can immerse yourself in, within the confines of a village setting as opposed to the city politics. You can still be a proudly inked, southron hating Northron, so that part of the experience isn't gone at all. All Tuluk's closing has done is focus political roleplay to the south. Aside from that, it really hasn't done anything at all to the world. Every non-political role you would have played in the North can still be played, and you still have the support of a Northron setting as well.

I'm not sure if Staff has considered it, but I don't think it would hurt to have one Northron Templar stationed in the village either, along with a cadre of Legionnaires. The staff-side support could be gathered under one umbrella for the North and handled by one or two staff members, who would handle Tulukian responses to Southron aggression, as well as day to day operations in Morian's.

Staff have said that you can still make Tuluki PCs, but the new starting location will be Morin's. So yes, people can certainly explore the Tuluki mindset. You want to play a proud, Sun-King lovin', star-showing Tuluki? Go for it. You want to play a disillusioned, bitter, cast-out Tuluki? That's an option too. You want to play a Tuluki far from home, struggling for survival in the greater world? There's a lot of greater world out there. So yes, there are still options and concepts that can be explored.

That said, it IS a great loss that the inner-city political role-play is gone. It IS a great loss that the city is closed. I think mostly, people are trying not to dwell on that.

As to Morin's... Staff seem to be focused on consolodating PCs outside of the Gol. I wouldn't go there expecting it to be a northern version of, say, Storm. Think of it as more of a Cenyr. IE, a place mostly just to travel through on your way to somewhere else. Since Morin's is a Kadian outpost, I don't know that having a templar stationed there makes sense. I also don't know that they'd have enough to do, when they're cut off from all political role-play. I imagine it would be very lonely having no peers and no significant plots to persue, which is probably why all the templars that Tuluk did have had to all store.

We have not considered it because it would defeat the purpose of what we have done and why we did it.

We are no more managing the day to day operations in Morin's than we are managing the day to day operations in Red Storm.  These are outposts or backwater locations and should not require direct staff oversight.  Instead, we will provide smaller investments in the realm of animations, new content, and related plots.  Any "Tuluki(an?) responses to South(ron?) aggression" can and will be handled on an as-needed basis by southern staff or other associated staff members.  That "as-needed" is "as-needed by staff," not "as-requested by players."

[Desertman]

I for one really like the idea of Morin's. A little village on the edge of a horribly dangerous forest.....can you be any more of a gritty ranger's wet dream? I think not. Love it.

[Bushranger]

If backwater locations require little or no staff oversight perhaps Red Storm East can re-open it's gates? YAY!!

Alas, I never got to visit her before she was closed. I always wanted to, I just had no reason to ever go with any of my PC's.

[Marauder Moe]

Huh?  RSE wasn't "closed" but rather "occupied".

[HavokBlue]

RSE has a specific kind of oversight

im so funny

[chuci]

It'd be neat if RSE's current residents were willing to trade with the outside world and opened RSE's gates to do so.

[BadSkeelz]

Pretty sure there's some "Find out IC" information about that that might surprise you. I think.

Lol

Yeah, let's start "trading."

[LauraMars]

Or you could just read the history page!

1575 (Year 35 Age 21)
Several merchant houses make silt skimmer expeditions into the Sea of Silt, pressing into the unknown reaches south of Red Storm. Sometime during the trip, they attract the attention of the enigmatic and impossibly large Silt Giants, also known as "true giants." The giants chase the skimmer expedition back to shore, making landfall in Red Storm East. Over the course of the next few years, a few giants, so tall that their silhouettes are visible for miles, settle in Red Storm East, driving out the farmers and workers who, until then, produced much of Allanak's grain. Famine sweeps through the southern parts of the known world as grain becomes all but unavailable in Allanak and elsewhere.

[BadSkeelz]

I do believe there's been developments since then. Or maybe I dreamed them. Hard to tell sometimes.

Ugh. No. The removal of Northern templars, especially lirathans, is the one thing that makes the North more tolerable these days.
