Petition for the return of the War Islands.

[Gustav Kuriga]

Well, since Tom needs convincing that it isn't just a lone few voices, I believe we should have a petition to show that we aren't just a few people. Please try and spread the word, especially to new players who didn't have the chance to experience them like myself.

As someone who never got the chance to experience the constant warfare that was the War Islands, I sign this petition for the return of the War Islands.

While I like the idea of the war islands.

Two things I think ought to be mentioned:

1. Isn't this list supposed to be for 100 players that would "return" to the game that aren't currently playing?

2. Will making the war islands cause everyone to become less interested in the non-war islands?

1. That was what I understood
2. I don't think so. The war islands might even be a good way to bring in new players.

You can add me to the list.

I thought 1 was true too, but I would venture my name for the list if that wasn't so, as well.

There were times where the only character I cared about enough to log in daily was my war island character. Never a dull moment for me there.

Also, I feel that the WI might help with keeping new players interested, since they wouldn't be bothered by too many off-putting details or general boredom. They just pick a side and jump straight into a perpetual war. If they like this 'simplified' version of the game, they'll be less inclined to drop out of the game because their non-WI realm is boring because of a lack of warfare or active players.

I votes yes.

Will having another sibling make you love your existing one less?

if the new one is better, then relatively, yes.

[Gustav Kuriga]

if the new one is better, then relatively, yes.

So your issue is that it would be better? 

[Dante Silverfire]

Um yes. I don't want the War Islands to get people so excited that they quit playing the rest of their characters because it can never compare.

Already we see people swarming realms that are at war and leaving in droves from those that are at peace. While this makes sense, it can be a devastating side-effect if not considered.

[Sacha]

Then hopefully it will spur the peaceniks into action to make their own realms more interesting. This game is called BattleMaster for a reason.

I thought we already agreed that the character on the War Islands wouldn't count against your character limit? So how would this lead to people quitting their other characters en masse?

[Tom]

I called for 100 people who would return to the game. People currently playing don't count.

It's not that I don't value you - on the contrary. It's just that it was claimed that re-opening the South Island would bring lots of people back to the game. That is the claim I want evidence for.

mm so the search is on to see if I can pull old email address up out of space haha this will be fun.

I would like to see the War Island once again. Bring back old players is not so important than get fresh players and give to the game and its loyal players an opportunity to play again in such great war experience... while I love every aspect of another islands and of the game in general, I will never forget that good time playing in Ikalak with a character that encouraged me to go deep in another continents while at the same time I had a place to forget about secular politics and food aspects to just march and kill enemies.
