In your opinion, which city is going to be the strongest ten achaean years from now?

Eleusis Hit and miss. Eleusis could top Ashtan with a few more good combatants, time zones play a huge factor from what i've seen in Eleusis though.

At least once a week there's a point when there's only about half a dozen people online (counting me), often less. Then during the 2AM-8AM period everybody is around, but a month or two back I think I was the only person online during quiet time for what was probably an hour.

(Although it's been good recently, since the Renaissance is resulting in more people online.)

Yeah targs about the same way. few more people online, but at the same time I think alot of those are alts trying paladin/priest out.

Some stuff!

The title actually questions 10 -achaean- years from now, which would be about mid-July.
I misread it too, should have used a real life metric!

Jukilian

Real life metric is much better for speculating on something like this.

Otherwise...

I HAVE FAITH, HASHAN

Comitis

I have confidence Eleusis will rise up in power.

Shirszae

The timer on this thread resets everytime someone opens it.

T'was a joke you missed 

fraid I did too, not like a coat is gonna help you much at the bottom off the sea.

@Twilight I'd accuse you of shrine envy. But there is that massive phallus you erected in Hashan.

True, but are you sure it's not your massive phallus that brings all the ladies to Mhaldor that he does not envy?


I want my Xinna back

Rofl.

. But you're not getting me back. Sry. (Are you even still playing?).

Also, Mdor's gonna be on top obv. Hasar may be the Lord of scrubs, but our scrubs are getting pretty good.

Edit: The last option in this poll is inherently flawed, because we all know the renaissance still won't be finished ten Achaean years from now.

This poll should be renamed to - "Which city will have the most combatants with enough free time/bother to log in 10 years from now."

I just assume that by then you'll have gotten bored and handed off back to the pale shirtless kid.

Exelethril

Naw, I meant that a city's power is proportional to the amount of combatants that are logged in at a certain time as opposed to having a large pool of combatants but barely log in.

Yeah just  log in like midnight or so

Jukilian

Around 10GMT and onwards for a few hours for quiet times online, I think.

ten years from now, we would be wielding god-like powers and all denizen are our followers. we waging war over the ownership over the said denizens. "mine! mine! all mine!".

Ten years is a long time. Real-world events must be factored in.

Once the icecaps melt and sea levels rise, the oceans acidify and their driving currents slow, sea-level nations are swallowed up entirely, coastal cities are forced to relocate inland setting back their nations' development by decades, the Saudi oil bubble bursts, the Euro collapses and the EU splinters apart, China seizes dominance of the global economy, India's middle class expands, Sarah Palin is elected President and the United States swiftly crumbles into an irradiated wasteland, and everyone switches to soy milk and vat-grown meat...

(I'm assuming IRE servers are now operating off an orbital satellite or solar-powered server farm floating in international waters, or something.)

What city is going to be most appealing to our Asian overlords looking to dump their disposable income on some text-based escapism? Ashtan is too reminiscent of the repellant former United States to hold much appeal. Cyrene, too meek. Hashan, City of the Midnight Crystal, somewhat tempting. Sartan is in the dormant period of his two-stage cycle so M-dor is out. Targossas was just destroyed again after five years of increasingly paralytic internal schisms over the definition of Light: is it a wave, or a particle?

I think it's Eleusis that will flourish. It's fun to frolic in the forest. In the real world, nobody's seen that many trees for years.

Been there, done that.
