delusional swedish man imagines waking up 3 times between 11pm-8am to build a flag on a naked alt then go back to bed without even checking if somebody attacks it is an approximation of society or politics or something

Delusional man from New Guinea or something equates "Realms" with the concrete mechanics presently associated with them. I am not wed to much anything, except the lore, symbols, and idea of authority, and the vying for nominal dominance of areas of the map in one way or another. This is what must be retained.

maybe I'm crazy but I think the job of a game designer is to make a set of systems that are fun to interact with, not to hyperfixate on the idea of something because it's cute with 0 care for if the mechanics even work or not

this is literally the worst world for PVP since the last worst world for PVP lmao look at this shit https://discord.com/channels/1194708350 ... 9146801182

New Guinea or something

allow realm owners to send messages to players inside their realm like once a day so that they can advertise their onlyfans and temu codes. This would give real life incentive for realm upkeep

Not my experience at all, PVP has been fun. Speak for yourself.

The entire "official" discord is a circlejerk, and that channel is just the same three people talking to themselves. It’s not a real snapshot of the player base. You realize that, right?

I think you have to do a bit of the latter in order to accomplish the former. Many well meaning people have informed me over the years that Haven isn't possible at all.

... but, grand philosophy somewhat aside; I don't quite see how it is controversial to say something like: "Kingdoms are intrinsically cool, and should be in the game in one way or another, and there is some mechanic by which we can meaningfully represent them as pieces in political conflict, and if we work on it we can find it".

More often than not the pattern is: "X is cool, how can we find a mechanic for it."

So basically it's dogshit, you recognize it's dogshit, but it has a cute coat of paint on it so you think it makes the game better? That's a pretty good microcosm for why the game is a bloated mess.

Since you didn't watch the video it's a 10v10ish fight over a thingwall. 1 Side is entirely rageless aggroing off of a Pclaim and shooting people with bows through a gatewall. People are literally """fighitng""" from inside their fucking walls in the current meta.

This is the kind of retard shit that happen when you just keep going "lol would it be cute uwu" over and over again with 0 thought/vision about how the mechanics will be.

No, I don't, but I could concede it for the sake of argument to make the point that: Even if it were true that it is dogshit, the problem is the mechanic, not the symbol, and the symbol could be placed on some good mechanic, and hence we ought to search for the good mechanic.

Hence I am interested in discussing which mechanics Realms should have, and consider "removing them" a non-suggestion, and an abdication of the problem I am interested in.

Too autistic for your blood, eh? I thought you were one of us!

The idea of being able to grate all the various cheese kinds over arbitrary foods using a grater was pretty hype-fire, ngl.
