Title: Which realm to join?
Post by: NeGaZe on November 08, 2017, 12:14:19 AM
After Greater Xavax fall, I found that my character got too bland (Loyal to death thing) and bit boring, so I decided to pause her.

I am now looking for suggestion into where make me new character.
Current plans for next character:
1) Female
2) Mentally unstable,Insane or multiple personality disorder
3) Might think at some nights that she is some type of beast/magical begin.
If there is anyone who wouldn't mind having nut case within their realm, please suggest.

However I most likely won't make one into Sirion or Shadowdale as my old noble was part of it.

Numbers 2 and 3 resemble my char in Highmarch. Crazy competition if you join there? lol

If you want to go the unstable route, I think one of the more progressive realms is a good place. Lots of free thinkers who can get rubbed the wrong way. Tons of potential enemies.

The unfortunate business is that Xavax was one of the greatest realms I have ever played in. It was an extreme rarity, especially in this age of the game. While I will say don't expect the same experience as you had in GX, I will also say it is what you make it. The more you interact and role play in a realm, the higher the odds are of other players interacting, forming character relations, and spicing up the game.

So I guess the real question isn't what can a potential realm do for you, but rather what can you do for a potential realm?

FOR THE IMPERIUM!!

Come join Vix! You can hang with Jang and her alcoholic, bearded, bleeding heart self. Plus Archibald the donkey / cookie lover will keep you in good company.

Dear god, do NOT join Vix. If you want to play a crazy char, they will only be overshadowed by Archibald's extreme crazyness. I have made dope love for that player, they play an amazing char, but I effing HATE Archibald lol.

"Me Archibald. Archibald loves cookies. Archibald makes peasants rise up and throw out their rightful lord so Archibald can take control of the region. Archibald trade gold for cookie. Archibald IS the cookie"

Paraphrasing, obviously.


Hahahaha man he makes me laugh. But I do hate him.

I disagree. There's Purrcious in Vix and she's doing splendidly well. Altough there's not much crazy about Purrcious. I mean there is refferring to self in third person and all the cat references... Easily one of the most fun characters I've encountered.
Title: Re: Which realm to join?
Post by: Renodin on November 08, 2017, 09:47:06 AM
Perhaps not directly on topic but I do love the idea of Archibald and Purrcious. It is a great shame and I recognize it, that I have not played in Vix Tiramoa when those two characters are around. Surely there will be others but I went with Xavax and was never disappointed. While that Realms may be gone, its culture certainly isn't.

My suggestion to the OP would be to find a realm with lots of people in it. Vix, Highmarch on EX seems good examples. Astrum on Dwilight, Uhmm there's Obeya something something where there's two factions fighting internally. Religious mayhem. Yeah, many players in a Realm means more room for creativity and interaction and that in the end will allow your char a niche to fill.

...You could always unpause your Xavaxian and take part in the island-wide plotting ;) Unfortunately, unless you happen to be in Sirion, you won't arrive in time for the grand Xavax wedding of Duke Serpentis and Lady A'lia, which has all the big Xavax influentials RP'ing the night away. I think even Selenia's there, along with all the former council members who yet live?

Highmarch is pretty active, plus a ton of lordship elections, with surprisingly few candidates in them.

It's also far away from all military conflict that could possible be happening. Thalmarkin for one is still actively looking for nobles!
Title: Re: Which realm to join?
Post by: Gabanus family on November 12, 2017, 01:34:29 PM
True Obia'Syela may never have the 'standard' military experience. You will be fighting rogues for now, I foresee longer distance assault and looting runs in the future, but not the traditional wars. On the other hand it has a unique experience in terms of character building, a lot of roleplay and a faith that is quickly growing with several priests already.

So in this case both are right, it depends on what you're looking for.

Gabanus: *No inside ingame information please*

But on the plus side, we're fairly good at redistributing gold to those that need it.

Some plans worked.

Remember the Duchy of Kalmar? It belonged to OI one day and it belongs to Nivemus today.

I trust you all dont remember, except OI players. How Brock managed to get duchy of Kalmar without much drop of blood and soldiers casualties? That show you how good diplomacy skill Brock has. Brock would have killed OI long ago, before that ice thing came and changed whole things. OI former Emperor willing to let his lands absorbed into Nivemus, that pretty much tell you something about Brock, don't you? 8)

How Catherine had to literally war with OI to gain Duchy of Kazakh. Brock followed her footsteps to gain a duchy(which totally bring Nivemus into lands administration problems). At a near future, Nivemus will have to secede some duchies to form a new realm. So join Nivemus if you plan to be in the new realm or just plain stay in Nivemus.

But what power do you in turn hold in Nivemus? ;)
His character has Unlimited power in Nivemus. Granted at one point, Brock will have to step down. He has been Ruler long enough. Once the new realm is formed in Nivemus, he will step down. I see no further stories to develop with Brock. He has done what can be expected of him.

It is time for much more ambitious nobles like Gynnjar, Jason and a few others to step up. For now let that be spoilers.

Brock cannot hold back the progress of other nobles. I see plenty opportunities in Nivemus. Some longest characters like Jason hold some sway in Nivemus, even Judge sides with him recently for those who know in Nivemus ;)
Title: Re: Which realm to join?
Post by: Gabanus family on November 27, 2017, 11:36:41 AM
I really don't wish to offend you here as I like you as a player, but Brock has been saying this for 2 years now or so, 1 at the minimum. Things about forming new realms and him stepping down. I remember because you mentioned it to me on several occasions during the Oligarch time period, but it never happened.

Sirion will definately never secceed a new realm, unless it's a rediculous pitifull realm in the north with all the useless regions they don't want anymore so it gains them tax benefits.

There's been a lot of talk in the north for many years, but the only one to take a step into that direction has been struck down by all those realms that just talk...Maybe it's more diplomatic, sure, but it's also so slow that it's going nowhere. Why do you think I suicided Oligarch, my titles and my wealth? Because nothing was gonna happen in the north and it was heading for a slow and boring death for all players involved.
Title: Re: Which realm to join?
Post by: Eduardo Almighty on November 27, 2017, 01:39:27 PM
East Continent certainly got tired of waiting for Nivemus and Sirion. The best I can advise is to look for younger, more dynamic realms, and, if possible, help to exterminate Sirion and Nivemus. Build something worth re-starting. Force the millenary characters to have nowhere to go, maybe they'll discover the magic of getting new chars.

If your character think he know everything, every Brock plans, think again. Your character has been nothing but unfriendly during Nivemus-First Oligarch Peace time and you want to expect continuous Peace with Nivemus? If someone not talking, not talking to your neighbor realm is not good sign. Of course I mean your character Garas who was the last Ruler who was elected before its realm demise. See if Brock talking to his neighbor, he gains Duchy of Kalmar from OI and he would have gain all the OI lands if not for the ice age.

Now now, Lady Catherine as Nivemus Kronagos, so many people been wondering why she stepped down when her plan for new Diplomacy has been rejected by majority of Nivemus nobles. I think it is common knowledge but if it is not, I will remove this part. Lady Catherine plan to re-energize the north as you say, is good and all. Turn on its closest ally Sirion, how Brock who is formerly from Fontan(you do not even know his background well, how Fontan was destroyed by Sirion, talk about you know his plans and all, boos  :P ) Brock who hate Sirion surely would follow her. But your character Garas keeps say Brock betrayed Lady Catherine. It was not Brock. Brock who wishes so much to emulate his good friend, Lady Catherine footsteps, Catherine gained Duchy of Kazakh through war with OI while Brock follows her example by gaining Duchy of Kalmar through Diplomacy.

So how Brock planned to gain Duchy of Kalmar and probably whole OI lands if not for ice age? You say plans in the north, but you never mention how Brock plans to gain this duchy. There was probably only 1 or 2 who know Brock the best. No disrespect, but Garas not one of them.

Was released a day or so later.
Good Judge Nivemus has, dont you? Dont forget his contribution, he wanted OI to play major role, unfortunately current OI Ruler does not wish to join with us.

So come join Nivemus. Not only lordship, a new realm about to start and you do not want to miss it!~~
Title: Re: Which realm to join?
Post by: Gabanus family on November 29, 2017, 08:55:38 AM
Rather than repeating myself, I'll refer back to the Xavax topic (both these topics are kind of intertwining)  ;)

I'm not claiming that Garas knows all your plans, I just know that you spoke about stepping down and forming new realms from Nivemus about 2 years ago, maybe slightly less and nothing has happened. You got a Duchy, sure but what did it truly add?

Don't get me wrong, Garas is poor in diplomacy and these days is the worst version of himself due to all that happened, but even before that he always mixed diplomacy with threats. That's the way I decided to play him (I didn't want 3 chars all eloquent and good at everything) hence the mix with Catherine was so good. His failure in diplomacy is part of the reason why FO failed, that's true, but that's not the point here.

And I know Fontan's history, one of the best realms I've been in myself, but if that's your background story of Brock I'm all the more surprised of his behavior honestly.
Title: Re: Which realm to join?
Post by: Eduardo Almighty on November 29, 2017, 10:57:48 AM
As Nivemus has always seemed to me an extension of Sirion (even with its own Ecthelion/Monte Cristo), it's almost factual to say that you have thought about these separations for well over two years, even before Garas betrayed Sirion and Gisele(?, I forgot the name of the other traitor) took Slimbar. Do you know why those early revolts happened? Because Sirion (and by extension, Nivemus) was already taking too long to make a decision about the creation of a new realm.

But hey, you took the Khlamar Islands, wich is nice!!!
Meh.

If not by RP standards (and I believe there's a lot of better options if you didn't have a previous char in Sirion), seek for the south. Sirion is a graveyard and I doubt Nivemus is much better.
