go to tavern, rankings select influence and st kitt and look at the members in that nation. [merc] is really part of it!!! not.
next: nations don't provide security, guilds do! (or should do!)
There is a role for nation guilds, it just isn't utilized i guess.
Dman makes a few good points though. the one place his arguement falls short is the us v them arguement....... anyone can join St. Kitts. No restriction on change of nation.
Vet vs newcomer/rookie is a debate that rages amongst all gamers. I come from an Evony Age 1 background. This same debate raged there also. It got to the point that they started dropping new servers once a week. That along with other factors destroyed what was at one time, the ultimate battle and strategy game.
I am not implying it is an us versus them scenario. I am stating that implementing game mechanics that are easily attained by one side while knowingly forcing more hardships on another does not qualify as an improvement nor better game play. I do not feel every rule is against me personally but I do consider every proposal I see and assess who it benefits, why, and will it stand to improve the game. If I see a newb only rule made that would only benefit newbs and force a hardship on a veteran, I will weigh in an honest opinion on it as well. And unless it is based as a patch for some other idea introduced that needed fixing I will weigh in with a -1 for it as well. While most of my comments have been in defense of the newbs (thats me lol) it is due to these ideas that do not promote newb growth and in fact would serve to diminish the amount of newbs who come. I have been reaching out to my fb gamers encouraging them to come here and I want to see them as well as me survive any new implementations. I hate to promote a game and then have it die makes me look bad lol.
