A player mentioned an idea in the suggestions forum of having a civil war or perhaps Larkinor could be invaded. I just wanted to say that I am completely in support of this idea, particularly the idea of being invaded. That could be soooo much fun! Perhaps the invasion could come from Wendria, Parszha, or Mengorn, which are some of the other islands of the Illarian continent (though I don't know if I spelled them right). I think Parzha would probably be the best choice, because their island is most similar in size to Larkinor, so our victory over them (as in their invading army) would be most logical. Perhaps they are afraid that we Larkinorians intend to conquer TA for ourselves, and then use it as a base by which to attack Parszha. I don't know, that's just one idea. Perhaps groups of Parszhians could station camps at various places around the island, and Larkinorians could band together and attack them in groups, though I don't know if the game can support this. Rewards from the king for defeating invaders should be pretty substantial, and perhaps new weapons or items could be acquired from their corpses.

True. But there are still a good many players that are level 29 and lower that are still on Larkinor. I guess the root of my support for this idea comes from the fact that I think that a game like Larkinor should change often. Different issues should come up on a regular basis, IMO. Periodic invasions could make the game more interesting. There are many other options as well. Perhaps Larkinor could have seasons, in which the amounts and ease of acquisition of some items could vary. Maybe digging in the spring or summer could result in some valuable plant roots that we could sell. Maybe fighting a particular monster in the winter could yield an item, like and icicle or something, that could restore mana and hp. Larky seasons could be shorter than regular seasons, that way players don't get bored. Or perhaps special challenges from the king that aren't always available. Such things have occurred before, such as that digging mission that happened a while back. However, I wish stuff like that could happen more often. Perhaps periodic shortages of certain items could occur. I don't know. It's not that the game isn't interesting, because it is. Even if no changes occur, I'll still play anyway. But I'm always in favor of new ways to add spice to something, whether it be a game or any aspect of life.
yea freddy i think your idea is really good larkinor is great now (but if there are more things like listed above) i bet the game would become more popular just a thought. But having larki invaded could be really fun and challanging for all they could have the dif lv group do dif things to help save larki. i think it would just really make it better.
absolutely support that idea. What a thought! I am level 28 and almost 29. And im dying to go to TA as soon as i can make enough money. A lot of players lvl 27, 28, 29, 26, 25 and the rest of the 20s are quite powerful and it would be a perfect idea to have an invasion so they could help with that. I think that is a superb idea freddy! jb
i think that your idea of an invasion is great, but not for the present. let us finish our jobs on TA, create our clans, and other things already on the horizon, then, after the clans have been immobilized, consider such things as an invasion/war. i would rather we focus on the present tasks for the time being. rexyin8
some of the lvl 27 and below characters are upset because they will not be at TA for a while now, the exp is not hard to get but a lot of them are worried about money. I think a good cure to their distress is to have a mini-TA-type organization back at larki that could be for the medium/young players who are incapable of getting to TA. and the perfect mini-TA-type organization is this invasion idea. by "upset" i mean the young/medium players are thinking that the game is becoming geared to the expert players who will have part in clearing TA. The players who wont be able to get to TA until it is fully cleared will not have been able to enjoy the teamwork fun involved with clearing each square. The cure to this is the invasion idea. They will be involved with this mini-invasion thing and then when that is complete they could venture to TA finally but as a happier person because they were not completely left out of all the fun. I am not saying i think the game is geared toward expert players because i very well know that there are a lot of downsides to being the top players (none of your weapons are at the market, no more missions, etc.). So dont attack me, but i do believe that it would be quite nice to have the lower lvl players get involved with something so they/we dont feel "excluded" jb ps. im hoping to be at TA in 3 or 3.5 weeks! im almost lvl 29 now. its just a matter of money after that :)
From what I've heard, the Hungarians have been conquering TA for the past 18 months. Anyone joining Larkinor today will be able to reach level 30+ and take part with plenty of time to spare. Sandy
yea, i suppose... but it would stil be nice to have that little addition that freddy came up with jb
Just because some people are busy on TA doesn't mean that that an invasion still couldn't occur. After all, if fighing on TA doesn't require everyone, then fighting off an invasion shouldn't require everyone. This is not to say that I am in favor of leaving the TA fighters out, because I'm not. Ideally, many many more future invasions would occurr, so ultimately no one would be left out.
If there was an invasion, I would hope to gain much exp. from it and hopefully get paid a little too.
If there was an invasion, wouldn't you prefer the big dogs (no pun intended) to be available to help fend off the invaders? Instead they are on TA, making sure those monsters don't come over to Larkinor. ;) -RTD
Great idea!!! This will give the game designers something to get their teeth into for a while, creating a whole batch of new monsters of varying levels from 1 to 70 so everyone can pitch in there could be multiple invasion points as well...making it look more like a proper invasion of the island.
If in fact the invasion was full of level 50 monsters I would want the big dogs here. However, this is what I think: there should be a certain quantity of invaders. The levels of the players fighting them should be a factor in determining how strong the invaders are. Or, it could just be a low-level invasion.
i think the invasion should be a middle lvl invasion (lvl 19-35 say).. so, yea it would be a good idea to have an invasion like that so the big dogs could be at TA doing their part there and the middle/low dogs (puppies..) could do their part in the invasion back at home. jb
I seen it, read it, and already replied to a question about wars in the updates thread several months ago :p
Well I hope it happens one day... Personally, I think waiting until TA is cleared is a little long. After all, the Hungarians have been at it for 18 months and are still not finished.
If I may answer for him, V certainly didn't suggest that nothing would change until TA was cleared. It will probably take years to clear the entire island. Meanwhile, I think we would all expect that the developers will be working on clans, and probably other things as well. Sandy
