but if you play an MMO and after a year of loot you loose everything, the first thing you think about is to rage-quit the game...

Then you are playing the wrong game from beginning.

Alos remember, if you are that terrified of loosing your stuff, you can play on Arboreus and be "safe". Occasionally take adventures on other worlds, and even if you are killed there, you still return to Arboreus after, where your home is waiting for you, safe.

I'm not worried about the challenge, as punishing as it is, I just don't have the time. I won't start fresh, when I can barely play few hours a day. That's why I won't play on Thartaros for sure. I just wonder if you're not asking for Syndesia to become as mush hardcore as Thartaros would probably already be.

I think that being able to loot the banks when you take a town should be part of the spoils of war.

That would work only in games where there is periodically a full reset for anybody, but if you play an MMO and after a year of loot you loose everything, the first thing you think about is to rage-quit the game...
That would mean there won't be guild competition, just a big one owning the game.

Getting a city should net you, the victor, some tangible rewards.

You won the siege, the town, town resources, and you'll slow down competitors. That's ENOUGH!
At last, you probably deserve an additionally full-generated prize.

Rember that MMO doesn't expect any "winner", just competition... and too much of it become toxic!

Unfortunatly, this is where malicious bots and hacks begins.
Real money is always a nest for toxic gamestyle.
We don't live in a respectful and mature world.

I don't want to be mean, just blunt; this is just what I think...

@Alexian said in Zenith (Meridian) - a nexus of community, diplomacy & trade:

Zenith, capital of Meridian, has officially been claimed for the Spring 2021 Alpha!

• It includes three major resources stone, iron, and tin deposits
• Its soil is moderately fertile
• It is strategically defensible with respect to sieges
• It is reasonably close to various points of interest, including Goblin Hills and the Vale of Shadows

Zenith and Meridian are both open to solo players and other guilds who don't want the hassle of maintaining their own city.

Io quando riesco ad entrare, sto giocando qui come cittadino. Le persone sono sociali, parlano inglese ma non pretendono molto.
Io stesso ho partecipato ad una loro spedizione, nonostante preferisca fare qualche prova per conto mio, ma mi hanno aiutato ad acquistare una casa.
Se passi da quelle parti è più probabile incontrarci e condividere qualche partita...

Ciao!

You probably need a companion app for PC/mobile more then any kind of in-game implementation...

@Prometheus said in April 1st Server Crash - What Happens Now:

a small rollback, no more than 30 minutes of progression lost.

That's exactly how much I played today for the first time... But that's fine...

Did you mean Prosperity, or does it have any other mean?

@OlivePit
Unfortunatly I'm replying from my phone, waiting for my new laptop next week...
I'll try to make one during next alpha test, but until then you can check for any free macro recorder software on Google and play with it

At last, you can use a macro software and map WASD to left-click few pixel off the center of the screen (where character is) in the correct direction...

Good, not gold...

You can be motivated, without having any downside... I personally don't understand this modern concept in MMOs.

The game, or the guild itself, could provide a prize to win a siege, both defending town or conquering it...
