Favorite Island

Pick your favorite! Feel free to tell us why as well.

My personal favorite is Dwilight for a number of reasons. First, enforced SMA rules means no silly names and no idiots claiming that nobles and peasants are equals, or other such nonsense. Second, the size of the island ensures that wars are somewhat localized. No realms marching from the far north to battle realms in the far south. It would be possible, but only in very rare occasions, and not on a whim. Third, there are still lots of opportunities for new realms to be founded.

Dwilight hands down. It has the most interesting politics around and an intense struggle brewing between SA and the rest of the free world.

Atamara. I'm one of those people who has spent over half a decade on that island in various realms and seen realms fall and rise and am currently quite liking the wars that are going on.

Beluaterra, I like invasions. :)

Beluaterra. I get all giddy about Invasions. When's the next one? ;)

Atamara, old cultures, old burdens what realms carry... and Beluaterra. Those continents just feel like home :) Althought i dont have experience others... except EC@Perdan where most of my chars have started their careers and shortly emmigrated to these new continents.

Dwilight. It's big and has lots of opportunities. I've had many different experiences there.

Beluaterrans never sleep on their asses. The rest of the continents would have a thing or two to learn about the Beluaterran way of life.

I'm split. I voted Dwilight, but I'd also like to have voted EC.  :-\

I've been on EC for over 5 years now, and although it is at times extremely frustrating, I do like it. It's been through a lot of changes lately, and there are more on the way.

Atamara, it's an easygoing place with the fun mix of playing styles.

Have we played in the same Atamara? There's kind of a continent-wide war going on right now, or so I've heard. Minas Ithil isn't doing anything I think.

My vote goes for Dwilight. It is awesomely diverse. You have the large theocratic realms to the north, the republics to the west, and the Kingdoms to the south-east. There are also lots of rogue lands for the taking. Although I'm content to see lots of land rogue, it would be interesting to see only human realms dominating the map. SMA also adds that last bit of flavor to it.

I meant that the atmosphere is easygoing :) That's just my impression though.
