For the players who missed it, this is from the Illyriad Game Overview:
    We wanted a game where there was a genuine diversity of winning strategies; where different players' gamestyles were valid options reflected in the game mechanics. We wanted a game where players could choose their own path to victory without being limited to a small set of pre-defined options.

...and this...
    Hundreds of military units including: Infantry, Spearmen, Cavalry, Archers and Siege engines
    Multiple military strategies including: Attack, Raid, Occupy, Reinforce, Siege

(italics added for emphasis)

War is part of Illy. As a matter of fact it is the third and fourth bullet points of 12, just after "Free-to-play" & "Richly detailed game world."

Now, can the peaceniks just keep to themselves?

Will you plz stop BSing........Can you name some players who came back because of the war.....I know I can surely name A lot of players who left because of the war.

Yes its a fantasy game but there's no penalty for making true comments

Several in Dark came back for the war...
/shrugs
I can name many more that left due to boredom...

I know of a half dozen H? members who either came back or didn't leave because of the war and about 15 who became much more active players because of it...

My point is that while we, as a game, unfortunately lost some, we also gained some and, net net, I don't think we are worse off. And all the endless posts saying that we lost so many players serve to do is confuse newer players and make them think the game isn't thriving (of which the opposite is true!). And nobody gains from that.

Those that say that the Coalition are the sole reason for making people leave are kidding themselves. You overlook the number of people who either left because of sheer boredom due to no action, or who left because their leaders were too stubborn to agree to peace and stretched out the peace negotiations.

Well, asking from some people to take responsibility for the way they lead or the way they follow, might be a new concept to some people, judging from some posts lately ...  LOL

I know of more then 10 players from VIC who left game due to war , so i would say around 10% players in VIC left game due to war

Why couldn't they just leave VIC instead .?. Tell us what was their problem in each case please instead of vaguely blaming the war.

What was the reason in each case .?. 
Losing cities .?.
Losing in general .?.
Not wanting to fight .?.
Being forced to fight by their leaders .?.
Not having armies but being called to arms .?. 

What exactly and WHY couldn't they just leave the alliance and go somewhere else and keep playing the game as THEY LIKED .?.

Once again I agree with twilights, Deranzin will never understand why someone rather leave whole game than alliance during war.

If their egos are so fragile that they quit instead of finding a peaceful alliance, I would say they picked the wrong game to begin with. I'll refrain from listing examples of games aimed at a more delicate psyche. We all know what they are.

I could say "toughen up" or "lighten up" but they both fit, so I'll try this: "lighten the tough up!"

I have received many igms from players from rival alliances thanking us for making the game fun for them again.  PvP is the ultimate rush and challenge in this game. 

Lets face it.  More people left the game over the summer 2012 crafting update than the current war. 

We just had a huge war...maybe 15 alliances involved.  In the end what was the worst case scenario?  Losing 2 cities?? 

People need to quit worrying so much about losing a city.  It is just comical.  I would rather lose 2 or 3 cities in war than abandon my account out of pure boredom...
