Gordy, I am not arguing for special treatment for myself.  Just the opposite.  I have an alt with a Tenaril available.  What I'm arguing for is equal opportunity for my friends and others who have played for so long to be able to experience the Broken Lands without the barrier of a weeks-long Exodus along with substantial risk of having cities destroyed on arrival.

If the concern is over veteran players having an advantage because of Tenariling established cities, perhaps there could be limitations such as de-leveling all buildings and even giving up research for ANY city that tenarils to Broken Lands from Elgea.  That would address concerns about unfairness to newer players, I would think.  In fact it would still advantage them because they have more cities available.

So ... maybe a Tenaril that de-levels city buildings to level 10 or 12 and some sort of maximum amount of research completed for EVERYONE.  So we could start on even footing.

Edit:  I'd even go for a rule that you can't bring ANY armies or diplo units with you.  So long as the rule applied to everyone.

Kat, an Exodus would take 1-2 months to arrive in Broken Lands.  Under a recently announced rule change, if the Exodusing city happened to encounter an NPC or occupying army, it would be vaporized.

The Exodused cities that landed safely could have full armies and full research, which are different than what I proposed.

That would not represent a level playing field on the new continent.  I'm trying to propose something that would.

See, its sorted.  Your alt has a tenaril which is mainly meant for new accounts,  so now you can experience BL!  The devs allowing everyone two accounts works great for that.  Everyone can just have their alt go to BL and experience the new land.  Or reset their alts so that they have a new tenaril for the opportunity to go play a new land. 

I'm glad this got sorted out!  See how easy it is to develop a solution through healthy debate!

As I said, I am mainly concerned not for myself but for other folks who might wish to have additional options.  I think the solution I've proposed is one that will allow many more players to enjoy Broken Lands, rather than a select few.

So does mine, without asking for special exceptions and rule changes to accommodate it.  Having 2 accounts is the perfect way for people to play Elgea and BL at the same time.  No special rules or exceptions need to be made because they're already in place.  That's actually much better than new players without alts and 4 sitter accounts who only get to play the one continent!  best of both worlds! a solution for all!  Im sure all vets and new players alike appreciate the work weve done here to find common ground and a solution so that everyone gets to experience all that Illyriad has to offer.

I'm afraid I don't follow, Gordy.  How have you worked to find common ground?

We rill! We... give yourself some credit here!

We've found common ground that players who already have established accounts (like you) can just make an alt (like you) and take that alt to BL with its tenaril (like you).  See you had the solution all along without having to make exceptions to rules or ask for special privileges.  I did tell you that you were clever!

So let me see if I've got this right.

Vets that want to play on BL and want a tenaril will have to give up their alt account and start evenly, which will make the existing continent a more level playing field and better experience for everyone too?
