Shattered Kingdoms

Has any other darkies lost enjoyment in the game due to the lack of the number of darkies and the fact that we are PK'ed in great numbers because there is never enough of us on to really defend or attack? Or lighties kill us say ex. "praise purification" and then ten minutes later the same person kills you again? I just find it hard to find enjoyment when you cannot be anywhere except the north or the empire without getting ganked by three people or being threatened, there is a point to where it is good RP and bad RP i think.
And its not so much happening to me as I have seen it happen to younger players. If this mud would like to grow and experienced players would like to see new players join the game, maybe a simple kill and then stun them later if they enter a city. No new person wants to have to look for or beg some one to get their armor back, I have noticed an increase in this over the past few months, maybe it is no ones fault because we can't make people play darkies, but maybe let the darkies enjoy the game to Huh? I am very open to some negative criticism because I know each side has its point so I will welcome it, or maybe I'm being a baby. Thanks

Osterich, you may or may not have noticed that in times past the lighties were in the same boat. I had to be very careful when I did anything due to the large Imperial gank squads, and the fact that Beethiok knew what he was doing (especially at the end) and would solo run through people. There were times that the darkies outnumbered the lighties five to one. This game is cyclic. One day the lighties have strength, another the darkies. And FYI: Even now, there are still times when the darkies outnumber the lighties. They're not as frequent as they once were, but it still happens...


Its happened to the lighties as well... I'm not saying its right, just that your not an isolated incident.

Yes, its sad that this game often boils down to "kil first, ask questions later", but the we can't just sit and whine about it. If you don't like it, then do something about it...

Yes, this does suck. Some people just like to gank n00bs to make them feel powerful. Then again, some of these younger players are just vets in disguise and know what will come if they do xyz.


As far as I've seen, its been this way a while. Your just getting your feet wet now.

I haven't noticed anything. Must because I'm a tough nut to crack.

Remember, the basic reasoning to any PK is as follows:

Light:
You r knot cleanzor! B puripheyed!
U r having item eye kneed 4 lightie cleansing! SMITZOR!

Gray:
I neded phat lewt. Me part dwagon, must hoard! I selfish!

Dark:
You r n X city/country! U MUST b <insert cabal/tribunal>!!! DYE!!!!!!!
You were standing there!
My axe slipped!
<silence>

I guess it is probably just a circle, I just hope its the darkies time soon to prevail, sounds like an IC crusade for me...Time to RP...


Later, Osterich

Yep, it'll come around soon enough. A month ago or so the Imperials were HUGE, and a few months before that it was the Adepts. Some players are more kind to newbies than others, but I don't think this game will ever be full of kind and friendly people who leave your stuff because you're only level 25.

I must admit I live for the short lived times where each side is pretty evenly matched. For a while there the MC and the guardians were clashing pretty evenly. <3 Konge.

My axe slipped is more of a grey one.

I dunno, thats more of a Slayne saying.

Next time I find you where I found you before, I'll kill first, ask questions later.

For a <insert faith> you really are a coward running from a priestess of Love. The others do not run from one priestess with a guard.
