A new island to colonize.
A commander and his small army arrives on a newly discovered continent. They also bring servants and slaves (adventurers). The map is invisible at the start, and only regions that have been taken over are visible. Since no humans have lived here before, the lands are inhabited by monsters (stationary groups).
Basically the Invasion, but the other way around :)
Bring me at least 500 new players, and we can talk about new islands.

If there is an island I'm allowed to swear on, I would join in a heartbeat.

Dwilight isn't new anymore? Doesn't look full to me? ???
My two favorite ideas are 18+ island where we could swear and act like real medieval knights! I also relish the idea of a non-serious medieval atmosphere island.
Good point. We're just greedy bastards, always wanting more features, more players, new worlds.
We are spoiled :)
...I wouldn't exactly mind, though;)
You'll be getting new features shortly. We are working on a really massive overhaul of the entire codebase. Once that is done, new features will once again be easy to add and I'll get back to designing some.
I don't think there's any rule anywhere that says you can't curse or do things with your character that might be considered 18+.
You can swear on any continent you want.
You will get reported for vulgarity, and lose honour for it, of course. Because what we think of swear words now are the kind of words that only peasants would have used in medieval times.
That's why they are swear words now. Because modern English is descended from the languages used by the conquering French Normans and the conquered Anglo-Saxons. Words nobles used became "high" and scientific words; words peasants used became crude, rude words.
So saying 'merde' instead of '!@#$' is allowed? :)
I think people swear in all times and all cultures. Sometimes more vulgar than others, but we all do it...
I would say more like, "By the excrement of a thousand cows!"
Sounds cooler that way, too.
we tried that, it wasn't well-received. You're a minority there, sorry.
Personally? I'd love to see a map of Europe. Maybe the Mediterranean and parts of the Middle East/Northern Africa, but most of Europe. I would love to see how we could change history. I would love to see Undead and Monsters replaced with Bandits and Mercenaries.
A map of Europe, at proper BattleMaster scale, would be gigantic.
Lets just combine all the islands and have a huge world.
A lot of the complaints, though, were that mortality was being imposed upon people suddenly.
If a continent were created that was to have mortality active from the start, then everyone could factor that into their decision about whether to go there in the first place.
I really think it would make a big difference.
I don't think there's any rule anywhere that says you can't curse or do things with your character that might be considered 18+. I've had my character raped and have others pretty nasty things happen and no one piped up with the "Think of the children!" chant. Only once have I seen someone take something OOC by saying "You shouldn't do that, there are children playing". Even then it was just that one player reacting to someone cursing a lot.
Aren't pretty much all the other islands except Dwilight non-serious medieval atmosphere? I mean, Atamara had vikings wearing pink tutus and what not. There are religions with human sacrifice and pretty much anything you can imagine you can try to set up without getting slapped down by someone saying "you can't do that! It breaks the atmosphere!"
And then Sanguios Astroism can finally conqu... -errr, spread the truth to the world much easier.
give me a war island

Your definition of a "funny story" appears to be quite different from mine.
Combining the islands would actually be quite interesting. A powerhouse on a small island, like Arcaea on FEI, would suddenly find itself a small fish in a huge pond compared to the likes of Sirion or Cagilan Empire.

I was thinking the same thing. Though each island would act as a continent with a few shipping lanes connecting them. Perhaps FEI wouldn't even connect to Atamara, only Dwilight and East Continent. The Colonies would be smack-dab in the middle of everything ::)
I actually think combining all the islands onto one superhuge map would be great. It would greatly increase the variety of the game.
I hate the small maps, all they lead to is either stalemates between large powers, or gangbangs. A larger map means more regions, which in turn means that even if a realm or group of realms dominate their local area, it doesn't mean a total hegemony of the continent/map. It also means more room for smaller realms.
I do like the idea of more room for smaller realms, but I haven't seen it on Dwilight. The small either die or grow. They do not remain small. And often the only reason they manage to grow and stay alive is because every realm in the vicinity is too occupied by monsters and undead in their own regions.
I think this quote is quite baseless. Many of of dwilight's realm's remain relatively small. If you divided up Dwi into small, medium, large and growing, there would be: 3 large, 4 medium, 6 small and 3 growing.
Large: Astrum, Morek, and Caerwyn (we'll count Caerwyn despite recent events)
Medium: Luria Nova, Summerdale, Libero Empire, Terran (some of these are actually quite small by most standards)
Small: Fissoa, D'hara, Madina, Corsanctum, Asylon, PeL
Growing: Barca, Itaulond, Aurvandil
And new realms dont start just cause everyones too busy fighting monsters, they start because large realms are unstable in dwi and friendly successions become necessary, ie. Luria Nova/ Pel. Or because lot's of free land makes succession easier, ie. Aurvandil/ Madina. Or because they receive support from their neighbors in order to battle the insane monsters on dwi ie. Barca.
Fact is your best chance of being part of the process of starting a new realm comes from being on dwilight.
Bring me at least 500 new players, and we can talk about new islands.
If you think one man can't make a difference, you obviously haven't been on Dwilight. One look at Allison Kabrinski's history, and you would know what I'm talking about.
Fine then, how about Baal? He plunged half the continent into war.
You'll have to leave Summerdale, though. Nothing ever happens in there :P
Tss,
I was in Libero Empire for a short time too. I think even less happend there :p

Okay, let's make this more clear then:Go somewhere else and try again.[/size]
SA isn't fighting itself. No surprise there. Probably until Caerwyn/Itaulond is soundly crushed and Astrum has stabilized afterwards, the SA corner will lack internal conflict on a large scale. There's just no reason for it. That's the point of religious unity: it diffuses conflicts. Project aggression outwards with crusades and stuff.
So go somewhere you could logically expect conflict. You know, places that aren't one big contiguously secure and civilized bloc. Try Astrum, which has a war and tons of rogues. Try Corsanctum, which has plenty of rogues, a Vatican-ish status (you could do soemthing with that, maybe), and connections to D'Hara. Try a Lurian realm: they're in the process of colonizing Shinnen, and could probably use some more nobles. Try Madina or Aurvandil: both have rogues to deal with, and an active war against each other. Try Terran or Barca: we have near-constant fighting against rogues, and a good amount of internal politics as well. Try Asylon: they're fighting monsters, worshipping daimons, and breaking treaties on a daily basis.
Yes, Dwilight will require that you learn to maintain a region in an efficient way. You won't be able to be a lord of a border region and take an income without ever having to hold court. But there is plenty to do on Dwilight. The 4th largest realm, militarily, is Terran, and we really only have 2 functional duchies: Shokalom is still way low on population and production. There are plenty of small realms, plenty of conflicts, and plenty to be done.
Dwilight has higher incidences of rogue spawns which make just maintaining difficult unless you have civilized lands on all your borders. Just the way it is.

lol
Vellos didn't mention how L.E or Summerdale could be fun.
Seriously though, what do those guys do up there??
There's no rogues, no free territory to colonize, and any potential conflict with their neighbors is severely affected by their proximity to the military heart of SA, Astrum and Morek.
We used to send small small armies to attack Caerwyn but other than that, mostly region maintainence and monster fighting. Hey, we could conolize the parts west of Astrum. Only have to travel through 1 Astrum region for that ;)
What L.E is doing is beyond me.

They were in Golden Farrow; someone had set their unit to murderous; Corsanctum's Regent (I think it was) fought a 1v3 battle and slaughtered their units.
So basically, they're messing up. ;D
Is murderous ever of any use? Let's say in a one vs one battle?

Yea, the problem in Dwilight is that SA has claims in Darfix, Understrom and Flowrestown, the only decent cities in where to make a realm. They are not playing with the ball, or letting others play with it. :-\
The barriers to conversion are extremely minimal. If you're interested, you have my number. ;D
