Norland was a funny-hyper active Realm, a lot of people wants to "create" Norland again, but it is impossible, in my opinion.
I was lucky, because I think that I had one character ( even two ) there during the gold days of Norland, and trust me when I tell you that, sometimes .. a lot of times, I cried of laughter reading the news of that mad realm.
But as I said, I think that is impossible to create "Norland" again, and an error. Too much people wants that Realm destroyed. Al we can do ( the former Norlanders ) is to try to bring some fun to the game in Norland costume... ARF!
But Norland means sad things for me too, as player. Those days were my gold days too, and RegulusĀ“ is unable to be the same "viking" now. Also, I failed to create another character with "personality".
About the last days of Norland... I must admit that those were the worst days for me as BM player ( except for those days when some characters were killed or deleted ). Due to a twist of fate... Regulus the Norlander had to make a hard decission, a really hard decission... the fate of Norland was in his hands... when he was the Ruler of other Realm. I realized ( OOC ), in that momment, the difference between the point of view of the things when you are in Norland, and when you are in another Realm, even when you are a former Norlander.
They decided to die fighting, and they died fighting.
