T Minus 28 Days

[Lychaon]

Ha, indeed! Things are getting wild in western Dwilight... At this moment it wouldn't surprise me to see Thor coming through that dimensional hole at all...

[Disturbedyang]

I had to ask this again. IS Beluaterra affected by any of this? If not, why it isn't? If yes, why is nothing happening yet?

I am loving the event message today for Dwilight, especially the second part. 

Yeah...I wonder which peasant was brave enough to taste it??

No.

If not, why it isn't?

We have other plans for Beluaterra.

Doesn't seem like it is. Don't know why, figured like it would have made sense to just remove it completely, or at least remove Riombara who are so far from everyone else that even their own players despair about the future (from what I could gather from the torture reports, at least).

To the point that someone was making about us all being people, and thus having different opinions, I would much prefer to just have everything wiped clean and start anew than have a long drawn out misery.

If this is your preference, you can always do this yourself by just pausing your affected character right now, and starting over somewhere else. You have the power to make that choice for yourself.

[Disturbedyang]

No.

We have other plans for Beluaterra.

Interesting. Will it be in the near future or will it be like some sort of invasion?

It will not be in the immediate future. The details are still TBD.

Is it possible to just have everyone in a realm join a new realm and then immediately start a rebellion?

I'm guessing that as with many actions, like changing class, you have to wait a few days first.

I've gone through and read every single post in this thread. I must say I can understand why some people would be down and whatnot but think of it this way. Wherever you now live, if there was a major disaster what would you do? Would you just sit there and basically wither away or would you move out and try to rebuild?

I don't really have a "main" character but I had contingencies for if something happened to any of my characters. Most of it involved fighting to the bitter end and trying to gain a foothold elsewhere but come on.

What would you do when your main character gets to old to play? when you only get a few hours per turn and it takes a week to move from region to region? Will you quit then? If so weather you leave now or later doesn't really matter imho.

They're peasants who just had their crops trampled and granaries fouled by monsters, they'll eat anything.

[Anaris]

This should shake things up a bit.

Gotta say, for the land that is planned on being removed, that's a lot of trouble for the devs and a lot of discontent for players for a very little net gain. Barely anything of FEI, AT, and EC is planned on being removed.

BT lost a lot more than what is planned for AT during the invasion, and if it had any effect at all on noble density, it was quickly masked by player decay.

If that's all that is being cut out, we'll be back to pre-ice age player densities on those continents in no time.

I assume a colony takeover will be made available soon?
