Re: "What 1 cool feature should they develop for our game?"
Aeriadne
To which I asked myself the question I often asked in such situations, which is: "What would Tyler Durden do?"
Yeah, probably.
I mean, we have a nice established world order going here, yes? Alliances have been built up, histories have been made, trbl elitists have risen. We have a world of acronyms, of founded things. And it's all based in real world things.
But... where's the fun in that?
You know what we need, America?
We need, to...
We haven't hit it, and Admin, with the gold garnered from our dear accounts could set us free.
They want us to really fight for what we have? To prove ourselves? To try and build something, get involved, and spend, spend, spend while we legitimately have fun doing it?
Get rid of the countries.
The world I see.
Hear me out: for a limited time before this event, which we shall call Rebirth, admin would accept nominations for new countries which would like to be formed. The countries would be posted public, and you could sign your name up like a petition to back one. The ones with the most backing win, and at the end of the day, admin picks the top-whatever-amount to be the new countries.
This is where it gets interesting.
Rebirth comes, the map is wiped clean, and the new picked countries are given only 3 starting regions. Will there be empty regions on the map? Possibly. Will it be however many countries will fill up 3 regions? Possibly. It's up to admin. But then begins the wars. From the fires of primacy, we build our own regions, shape our own nations, and form our own alliances out of this, really pitting everyone against everyone.
Will old biases and factions still linger? Sure thing. Is that the point? Yes. Because this will cause a gradual shift away from at least some of the remaining real life ties. Real, true bonds will need to be forged. The meta game will become more important. Economies will mean something.
We will invest ourselves in creating our own world.
It will be a radical shift, yes. But a necessary one. A shaking of our proverbial Etch-A-Sketch. Is it still the same game, same tool, same people? Yes. But it's time for something new.
It's not time for a new war module, or a new economic module, or a new whatever. Those are treating symptoms. This is treating a source.
It will rock our world. And it will make and break many. And we shall forge our own futures, our own countries, our own allegiances out of this maelstrom of hellfire and reincarnation.
Our Rebirth.
If only... if only...
Until next time, dothras chek.

ill back this
really cool article, V+S
muito bem votado 😃
Yes.
Ehhhhhh i don't know maybe. I'm a patriotic american so yea.
Would be cooler if the admins just coded a system that arbitrarily assign a gold mine to a certain country. This will surely cause some sort of war, everyone wants gold. The war would allow everyone to participate. The ones who actually want to play the game. The country who wins gets the mine for like a week or something. Of course, the mind could always be available for taking, even though its already owned.
The gold mine could give 5 gold every 5 days to all of the country citizens. That's 1 gold a day, its not that bad. 😛 would be better than creating new countries.
i think we should let citizens take over territorys. and that countries are not set. anyone can make a country and take territories. allow mu's to decide the taxes in the territories they have taken over. you know how you can fight for the resistance or not. allow people to fight for the mu or not. but require 10 people to support the territory take over before the war starts.
This idea very much works in EVE Online.

Kudos to you, Aramec, on writing this and using the right theme for it.
I was considering writing something very similar, letting nations and alliances rebuild and rename, removal of all original regions, RWs anywhere, etc.
