The truth...

[Blodo]

All those who complain about the mod "not following server reality" should read the below a couple of times and think about it.

So, if 50 guys decide to make a... junker and PvP all around killing everyone, junkers would be masters of the universe? Invading, demolishing, and whatnot are all things decided mostly by numbers of allies or skills, and it doesn't matter if it makes sense or not.

It's the main reason why the players are not allowed to contribute just anything. Because so called "server realities" are usually ludicrous and unbelievable, and they shift constantly as the player population gets bored of a faction and moves onto the next. Just because one faction has more players does not mean it should be then getting more and more and more in the next releases because that will lead to a feedback loop, and eventually all the people that complain the mod does not change based on player actions will then complain that a faction is far too overpowered and there are "ganks".

The other reason is that this is mainly Igiss's story, and hence will follow his script. We're allowed to suggest and contribute things as long as they are sensible (and 99% of player suggestions aren't, not even in the slightest).

So there you go. How many more threads will we have on this, or is it so hard to consider the whole picture? If you want a completely freeform universe, have a go at EVE online and see what it is like.

As to the thread title: to me the truth is not "sad" at all. In fact, I wouldn't have it any other way. The one thing that we could improve organisationally is frequency of releases, and that's about all.
