I've noticed a fair number of Lurian players in Thalmarkin as well. Funny how that rivalry spans continents.

Happened the other way around, actually! The initial push for war with Aurvandil brought quite a few folks from post-invasion Thalmarkin still looking for something to kill. Very few of us were in both realms originally. Thalmarkin and Melhed is a pretty old rivalry, but it's dwarfed by D'Hara and Luria. Any Thals wandering into Luria basically had no choice.  :)

Anyway, fitting into this dichotomy wasn't really intentional for me. My first character was Ismail, who is basically a D'Haran patriot, like a Persian Ben Franklin or something. Maya showed up later, bounced around a bit, and when she landed in Beluaterra she chose Melhed basically based on the description; she arrived as a spurned Tandaros who wanted to hurt people and connect to the 'glorious past,' whatever that is. I guess she got her wish, scars and all.
Well I can only speak for the Lurians and myself, but there is no OOC rivalry that I know of. And its less that the rivalry has extended to BT, then it is that Thal is awesome, and so is LN so many play in both, (and Coria).

If it helps at all, that execution cost Kalixta 6 Honor and 5 prestige.  :-X

Wow, yeah, that helps a bit. :P

What is wrong with choosing a realm with same people when you know for sure you will have fun with them?
This is what we try to do all the time, isn't? To call people to our realms, people that will make it better.

I am in both, Luria and Thal. Luria was my second realm, Thal was a experience that happen to be the best one since I've started to play BM.

You all complain too much and mostly about things you have no clue.
This topic was not started to make propaganda, but the result of it is that we have a lot of new players there. That means, we are doing something right :)

Then show me the post where people are actually complaining instead of quoting those that said we are not.

I didn't see the "due to a ban spoken on him blah blah" message, so I don't think so.

Actually, I believe he bought his freedom before Kalixta could ban him. Slippery! And the advy has no known crimes against him other than his blood. Might be they both get to walk.
