Not a big forum guy but I had to see the comments on this world after a discussion with a few top players in HELIKE about HELIKE. I have some comments of my own.
1. This is probably the worst world I have played in. Its turning out to be MRA Eligos vs MRA Dragons for the server. I have never seen a world where the alliance cap is 100 and an alliance feels the need to have 3, 4, 5 divisions under its name PLUS PACTS!! Since the Roman break up, we now also have a new extension to the dragon empire - breathing fire while the rest join Eligos. Its just so poor. A cap of 100 is more than enough. This is spoiling the game for small alliances like mine who are trying to do it on our own and have fun with it. One siege from us, sees myth fliers coming from 2 oceans away and I am sitting here wondering if anyone else is fighting. I am almost sure the top two alliances ARE NOT!!
2. Eligos diplomacy is one of their most powerful weapons. I believe it is the reason they are where they are and still growing stronger. However, what I did not like is how they try to break up any alliance that seems an equal match by trying to recruit players or turn players with this diplomacy weapon of theirs. That is the part of the game I don't like, but at the same time, Eligos have done us small alliances a favour. They took all the sell outs and took them in for themselves. What they left behind is alliances with only loyal pure players who you can trust and enjoy playing with, without fear of being back stabbed. I would love to see when things get heavy for Eligos, if these same sell outs don't hit the ghost button when there is no other alliance to run to. Still taking nothing away from the backbone of Eligos that I feel will always remain even when the sell outs dont.
3. I also received an offer to join Eligos and (as honoured as I was) I would have joined if it had not been for the fact that I would be leaving behind a great team of new players who put their trust in me and their time in me. I only play this world for them now. I lose sleep only for them now. I would have joined their alliance if I knew my team were coming with me, and we were together going to go for the server with no one else. All the "hugs" as you guys put it, really spoils the game and gives little hope for new players to enjoy the game or learn how to play it.
4. Finally, whoever was trying to quote CW about burning witches at the stake, dont be a Rupert Murdock and print off any crap that sounds good. Yes we fight Eligos because they are the server favourites and we share a boarder with them. Isn't that what your meant to do? And we try to have fun doing it too. Dont make things harder than it is by quoting us on stuff we didn't say. Thanks
This game has seriously changed from a few years back. It isn't the same game and what is worst, no one wants to really fight. We were part of a coalition of maybe 5-6 alliances lead by the Romans. Do you know how much support we received from our "allies". Zero. Absolutely nothing!! Not even a piece of intel lol. But we are proud to be on our own, proud to be fighting the server favourites and proud of the team I am in and the players new to the game who have grown with the alliance. Proud to be part of an alliance that keeps it fun and simple.
I think the question in this world is....will there be any alliances left that do not have an "Eligos" or "Dragon" themed alliance name by the end? Now that is a question to ask....
As I said at the beginning, I do not write on the forum much, so thank for reading my small book. I feel like it needs a title. I'll call it "Tales of a Wolf". Awooooooooooo!!
