Not complaining, just trying to figure out how things work.

I like the idea of us VS the wilds. The eastern realms better thank us for being their last line of defense.

[Indirik]

You mean... First line?

[Fuchs]

Let's just be both.

[Ossan]

They are kind of both since the monsters can't travel to the east.

[Fuchs]

Question about the monsters.

Are they large hords marching from region to region, or do they just pop up in regions?

Until the new changes kick in and there's no such concept of an east/west boundary.

Well, both. First, monsters spawn. The rogue regions spawn more than the non-rogue regions. After they spawn, they march from region to region.

How historic will the spawn rate be? Original Dwilight levels?

[Vita`]

It's entirely new, so I can't really say what a comparison would be.

[Geronus]

This makes me want to come back... I loved those early days in Astrum when we were under constant assault by monsters, food was scarce and we were never quite sure we were going to make it through a winter.

[Fuchs]

How would adventures effect the new realm and monster spawn rates?

[Indirik]

Adventurers who hunt lower the rate of monster and undead spawn in the regions they hunt.

Yeah, but you had Everguard to pave the way

[Indirik]

Yeah, buy they couldn't handle the monsters themselves. The monsters had already started destroying them when we landed. The monsters mostly finished them off, weakening then to the point where we finished the job. Then we had plenty of monsters to deal with ourselves.

Weren't the monsters toned down after Everguard was destroyed and Astrum occupied the area? I know they were reduced at some point, but six+ years later, I might be fuzzy on the exact timeline.

EDIT: Or maybe it was after Caerwyn colonized its area.

I remember it being reduced after Caerwyn to allow people to actually fully colonize Dwilight. People were complaining about Dwilght being too difficult to colonize before. I think that was a mistake :o
