 Topic: Postive effects of the war
Posted: 14 Feb 2013 at 00:33 |

I have seen many many reasons for people to hate this war and even a few of those people leaving this game because of the war regardless if they were involved or not. However I wanted to see what the positive effect of the this war are. In some alliances have their members been on more often? Have more players flocked to your alliance? Have your alliance made great profit in selling arms during this time? I am in no way promoting or demoting this war and have even stayed on the sidelines during it. I do however want is to see what the positive effects of this war have been! This page is not to sling mud,fight about the war etc. I just want to see what the positive effects have been for this war. I would appreciate any news form the winning side,loseing side and even those on the sidelines if I can.

In RES, several players have stated this war makes them enjoy Illy even more. "I've never had this much fun before." sort of comments.
One member of RES has advocated peace, even as early as November 11 (Armistice Day). Mostly because that player wanted RES to recruit newbs again and the storage was overflowing with res.
That said, RES does have members that are "private" and do their own thing without regard to the war which is fine in RES. The RES Tax Man appears at their cities weekly, too. Hehehe.
This war has taught me a lot, among those understanding changes in mechanics since my last warring experience. It's 1 thing to read an announcement, and it is another thing to actually work within the change.
The most valuable thing I have learned in this war is who I can trust and where I have misplaced my trust before. This is knowledge that can only come from the stresses of war.

It's not the vocal few but the silent many. The forums aren't a place where most players bother to venture. There can't be more than a hundred or so people who regularly use it and having a non-sanctioned opinion doesn't get very far.

I don't see this, Daefis. I see the current combatants being passionate and the 3/4 (or more) of Illy that isn't at war being rather bored with it...
I don' think there is a sea of passive objectors (as much as Soup would like to think there are, a la Rill). There are actually very few. Very few of the people who are not involved in this war, in my experience think of it as more than just a nuisance. A nuisance that is annoying, but doesn't massively affect their decision to emo rage quit or jump for joy. That is unless they are traders, and I know that you guys are out there, quietly COINING gold and loving it!
So, imo, while Soup and The Coalition may feel strongly, my experience is that the general consensus of others is that it is a mildly annoying thing they just have to put up with (like monsoon season).

I agree that some members of the alliance that had fallen into a quiet grind have woken up and started to get involved again. Some players that I thought would surely stop logging in soon are back and more active than ever. It's also building great camaraderie between players within our alliance and players of alliances we didn't know very well before.
For me the most fun is to try something new, see what works and doesn't work, then adjust and try again. The quality of my cities is improving because with each attack I receive I'm motivated to have better defense next time. Naturally, the quality of my attacks are improving as well.
 I have a list of changes I want to make to my cities when the war is over and they will really optimize the strengths of each cities location. I can hardly wait!

yes.. most accept it for what it is.. Groups aren't forced to choose sides and if players don't want to be affected they don't have to be.. it seems an opt-in experience (and opt-out actually as I've not heard of anyone being sieged out of the game); those who want to be affected are while those who don't are not directly affected at all... and those traders who dabble are are profiting fro.. err enjoying the current situation aplenty... and despite all the strong feelings expressed in the forums and occasionally on chat it makes for very interesting in-game news (or perhaps that's because of the strong feelings?). - M.

My favorite effect of the war is watching gameplayer going around in the forum and endlessly spamming about the war side of Illyriad.
