Activity in Orgs
Hi everyone. I wanted to get an idea of which Orgs are the most active. I have started in Targossas but it seems quiet (I have not been playing long enough to know if that's right). Ultimately I'd like to be in an org with an active player base who have a good mix of pvp and cultural activities.
Appreciate if you can give me some insights into the activity of the Orgs and maybe some thoughts on if Targossas is as quiet as it seems.

also don't throw yourself at a city because of activity, pick one you would enjoy developing, and definitely look at classes.
City population always fluctuates, but I never imagined Eleusis ending up as the largest. Strange times.
I guess it sort of makes sense since there's a lot of room for more unaligned characters in the whole Nature thing.
- With sharp, crackling tones, Kyrra tells you, "The ladies must love you immensely."
- (Eleusian Ranger Techs): Savira says, "Most of the hard stuff seem to have this built in code like: If adventurer_hitting_me = "Sarathai" then send("terminate and selfdestruct")."
- Makarios says, "Serve well and perish."
- Xaden says, "Xaden confirmed scrub 2017."
Agree on pick a city for the flavour not the activity though! All cities ebb and flow, Ashtan was huge for years now it's nearly dead.
Eleusis for PvP activity and numbers, but not so much culture. Also, trees. Lots and and lots of trees.
Mhaldor for teamwork and focus, but not numbers. Only go if you like evil RP. If you do, great culture. If you don't...
Cyrene for numbers and cultural activity but not PvP. Only go if you want to avoid fighting other players completely.
I have nothing against Targossas but they do seem to be in a slump right now from what I can tell. Then again, what better time to get in on the ground floor before the numbers shift in their favor once again.
I wouldn't say slump really, myself. We've had a quiet two weeks maybe.
I think the priest bandwagon ground to a halt around the same time as a handful of people left...
It's pretty impossible not to have culture so I have to assume the complaint is lack of community in Eleusis instead. No idea. I know they have some political difficulties but I don't think those compare to some other cities.
Those approaching Mhaldor for evil-RP for the first time can suffer culture shock. I see them more about the self-sacrifice and spreading the bad word. Like if Jehovah's Witnesses came to your door and converted you at gunpoint.
Cyrene has a house whose sole purpose is fight-for-my-city. They try to maintain a balance between the noncoms and the coms enjoyment in the city, which can be hard, but they've always been a melting pot.
Also, what @Jonathin said is 100% accurate. A few people carry every city, so one or two people going inactive can often be devastating.
And you won't understand the cause of your grief...
...But you'll always follow the voices beneath.
Complete pacifists? Unfortunately yeah, cyrene exists, rogue exists, definitely a jerk opinion to have, but I can't see how a village that, in it's purist form, is about forcefully expanding, and defending, nature, I can't see how true pacifism works with it.
Being somewhat more choosy about enemies and whatever else is a whole different matter, I think.
But anyway, thats a subject that goes down a whole different lane.

When you're competing against other organizations while trying to deal with internal issues like that... it really drains your motivation. Always envied strict orgs who had no tolerance for that stuff.
Eleusis, of what I've been apart of, has been great at nurturing instead, which is perfectly symbolic, if you show interest, you will get help, but you have to sprout first. Once I made it clear I was going to be getting into combat once I bash up a decent level I got help from all sorts, and it hasn't stopped yet.
On track though: Orgs really suffer when no one takes up the mantle to really enforce, and move, the cities or houses goals and motivations. Hashan has completely 180 turned with this, the leadership appears to be really pushing into people being active and responsive, and they are benefiting amazingly from it, we just need all the aligned cities to do so, and get a nice influx of players who are keen to follow that path, we'll have a lot of fun, active orgs.
IMO Eleusis should be a lot stricter. Maybe not Mhaldor/Targ levels, but at least enough that people who are actively working against their ideology cut it out or move somewhere else. They don't have to sacrifice any nurturing for it.
I do agree Eleusis could use with being stricter, but I think the balance for it would be 70-30/60-40, Forestall community shouldn't be completely focused on combat side of RP, but it should definitely be the most important.
