Why people like me will play this game?
I don't like rules. But i realized this game is built on rules and also the imaginary rules by players.

People like me will have already(or will) lost the game to tiredness of following the rules.
I must always calculate what is right and what is wrong at that moment. 
There really is nothing separating the right and wrong, they are imaginary and will be changed accordingly to the "weather" who created them.
We both know very well that the rules are imaginary. But still we follow them! oh why?

Therefore i see no point of following the rules created by someone else than yourself.

Nobody has to follow any of the player based rules, but everybody has to deal with the consequences of their actions.
The rules enforced by the more established accounts are there so this game doesn't end up like all the others.

You can follow rules of other people, break them and create your own, or float in between.  It's not like you don't have a choice..

If you feel that no-one has the right to react against your chosen actions, then you are saying nothing more than 'I want everyone to follow my rules'.

there is alot of overbearing people in this game trying to enforce a play style. personally i am here for fun and i just like being a total goof. i dont understand why people take the game personally or get offended when someone plays it differently than themselves. alot of the older people that play here just need to relax, i mean we playing elves and orcs and have castles or towns and making war items. if the game ends for a player its not the end of the world, its a silly game to have fun. if you get beat in a war remember its pretend, if war occurs remember no one really dies, i do wish the gold was real but it isnt, if someone steals they really not stealing. real morals and ethics dont apply in this game unless u break the very liberal game rules....everyone just needs to dance and paint their bodies, enjoy playing, have fun!come to the dark side, play evil, tease but dont get personal and kill kill kill, foaming at the bit

2nd thing i discovered is that:
We are basically playing alone this game. We follow ONLY our own codecs(to be or not to be) and the way we choose is decided by the food what is fed upon us. We can't be creative. We have a choice to surrender or to struggle and then surrender.

@ gameplayer.... if you like it or not. Humans are playing this interactive game, humans are shaping this sandbox. What makes us human? What's the base of human interaction?

It is.... :  rules.

Unwritten rules of conduct are making Elgea to a wonderful virtual place to be. These rules were written by generations of players. They may be constricting in your point of view, it's up to you to have that opinion. But in my point of view they are quite helpful as well, as I can log out everyday without any virtual evildoers looting my cities overnight, I needed days and weeks to build them up , or raiding newbies, only, because they can.

If you like that gameplay, there might be games better suiting for you, which allow unprovoced raiding or ganking - fun. And there are hundreds of them. But what is quite unique is a gaming community like that of Illyriad.

I must admit: For a new player with an unconventional, maybe (virtual) evil gameplay Illyriad is no easy place to persist. Maybe TBL will change that. But as we will keep our old alliances Elgean politics and diplomatics will swap over to the Broken Lands, I guess.

But however: play your kind of "evil" gameplay.... You are free to do that. Others (free as you) will have fun either to inhibit. As that's what you deserve, if you start inhibiting others, at least in my point of view. Wink

So have fun playing the bad dude stealing weaker pupils breaktime snack …! At least you might give it a try!  LOL Live and learn ....
