I liked the Ice vs Fire thing that was going on, even if i did join 3-4 days before wipe.
A little bit smaller of a map would be nice.
Raiding should not have a rule as it is part of the game and as someone who has played since legacy i have been offlined, camped, betrayed it is all part of the game.
I wasnt there for the capital event, but i did not like how the capital was just a circle with nothing around it, Why not make it that everyone must build something there that way it is an actual capital and then it will be populated.
Have you given thought to any mods? (addons for the server)
