Turn ran on Dwilight but my movement failed to happen. Gained hours but no travel happened.

Newbie Board / Prestige and Honor requirements for lordships and Gov positions
« on: October 14, 2015, 10:46:06 PM »
What are the requirements needed for a character to be appointed as lord or to a government position? I am thinking in terms of honor, prestige, and days in the realm.
I am worried that I won't be eligible.

On South Island are all characters killed during a reset or do they keep their skills for the next round?

Honestly, I'm surprised to hear that EI is a bright spot after hearing it was similar to or worse than Atamara for the longest time so far as stagnancy goes. That's good to hear.
So would a new family be able to have three nobles then if one of them is on South Island?

Helpline / Re: Optimal character skills training methodology
« on: September 17, 2015, 08:42:15 PM »If anyone ever managed to show me evidence that that was the case (that was actually statistically significant), I would nerf it until it was no longer the case.
The only way in which I think this could be reliably determined would be in a test environment, ten hours to kill, 30 test characters with unlimited gold and hours. Otherwise, I'll just trust your statement to use all hours then.
If gold is no barrier, use the best trainer with all hours. Also, if training sword or lance, go to all tournaments.
If gold is limited, use the cheapest trainer possible, but still use all hours. This is a bit slower, but much cheaper.
Any idea if there are inflection points on training chances based upon trainer chosen and current skill level? In other words do you experience diminishing returns, linear returns, or some other form.
I'm guessing this is info the Devs wouldn't state definitively but that perhaps some old guard players have experienced with.
In other words, if gold is limited, at what exp levels do you increase tutor levels.

Helpline / Optimal character skills training methodology
« on: September 17, 2015, 07:33:38 PM »
Does anyone have any advice or has a guide been written at some point to aid with the optimal training of character skills at an academy? This should address both optimization of "hours" and gold. I assume the two would have different approaches. Also, at what point do each of the trainers in the academy become ineffective or suboptimal. (Note those are different things)
I know the basics but want some more intermediate or advanced information.

What are the special rules of the war island? Are all characters mortal? I know it resets once anyone wins. Does the reset also kill all characters with their H/P or what?
Also, does EI have a lot of Old Guard problems like AT? If there is war but stagnant political groups that's not much fun either.

Thanks Indirik.
So avoid FEI and Atamara is what I've got so far. I don't need any more reason to avoid AT if stagnation is even worse. That ordeal led to me leaving in the first place. I don't have the energy to make that fight twice.
Anyone have thoughts on Dwilight?

Some of you still here probably remember me, as those that have posted recently all seem to be old-timers.
Can anyone give me a state of the game update? I've been gone since mid 2013. Is it worth returning to play? It seems from my brief reading that the player density problem has only worsened.
Are there specific realms that are high spots of interactivity and RP? Any intrigue?
Please don't tell me to just join a realm because you're there. I realize everyone needs nobles. That's not what I'm asking. I'm sure if your realm is good, I'd find my way there eventually.

Was it worth it?
Just started browsing today seeking the state of the game. I'm sure you'll remember me Perth.

I can't remember the exact details, but one of my favorite moments was when an assassin finally claimed the largest bounty ever put in place, and immediately lost all of the gold because they were bonds and he changed realms for protection. Someone else can fill in the full story, as I'm sure y'all know it.

Been there, done that.
For a minute there, I thought he was quoting Silverfire word for word. (And others before him.)
Hey now...
I think I was a lot more pragmatic than that. I usually wouldn't make statements without also taking action.

Is my realm dead yet? Or did leaving give it a chance to survive?
