Norland was the most vibrant, amusing and above all FUN realm I have played in.
Yes it could be silly at times, deadly serious at others, but things happened, memorable characters emerged, insane stories developed and it was always entertaining. The atmosphere encouraged everyone, established and newcomers alike, to join in the fun.
Norlanders loved Norland but were still willing to risk it all to keep things interesting for everyone else, even if that meant fighting apparently hopeless wars (and, for a long time, winning them).
I'd go as far as to say that if it had not been for Norland I might have got bored of BM long ago and packed it in. One of the reasons I keep playing is the hope that I can find a realm like that again. Not necessarily that mad but that interesting and passionate.
