Introducing forced mortality would also make a lot of people quit. We know this very clearly from the experiment on Beluaterra.
There have been various plans for introducing voluntary universal mortality, which has gotten a pretty positive reception from most people on the forum, but there's not yet been enough focused dev time to make it happen.
That's not actually true. We're still getting a slow but steady stream of new players. The problem is, too many of them don't stick around, and we are fairly sure a big part of the reason for that is that low density means significantly less interaction with other players, and thus less interesting stuff to read and do in the game.
BattleMaster cannot hope to survive by its old players alone. Its only hope is to try to be a game that new players will actually enjoy playing, so they'll stick around.
Agree with this post... Now bring that Mortality for the older characters. Can't have 100 years old character swinging sword around. Make them fragile and prone to sickness
You need less interaction now with the new estate system than ever before. When I began to play, I had to talk with Lords to take an estate and so on. Now you can start in a region and your Lord and Duke even need to know you. You can even assign yourself to any army you want while you're just a noble, before to join any estate.
The new estate system eh... I been having some complaints with this. Can't those who was appointed region lord immediately take up the estate in their region? Why they need to travel to their region to take up estate? *Cough, I have this complaint for those who appointed region lord and need go take estate in War Island no less
I just started playing this game one month ago. I've been having a lot of fun playing my character on Atamara. Now I feel I am going to drown in the new areas, trampled by the tidal wave of new players jockeying for power in these new realms. I'm just not sure what I'm even doing as I've never emigrated before. I wish it wasn't sinking. I dread the thought of starting this process over... There's not even an option for my adventurer to emigrate.
I understand the reasoning behind it, I'm just sad and unsure of how I will move and how I will make it in a new land. I don't even know if any of my realm-mates will be moving, as most of them already have characters on those islands.
*shrug*
I guess I don't really have a choice...
Look like it is that time of the season again. "Time to promote our realm/island season"
You can try ask in the specific Islands threads by start with a topic "Which realm interesting to join?". I am about to do the same as I need migrate a character from East Continent
