War #14 When?

[Wyand]

Dunno if it is the suitable place for this topic, but this question has been itching my mind for so long... so, do we have WMs for next War?
Any plans, etc.? If we start planning it after Trials we might be already too late.

My ideas:

- same rules like last time (maybe some small adjustments in up modifiers);
- if we will have 12 masters we really should try the Master+2 real players+1 virtual player (Player 4) setup.

Even if there were 12 Masters, they will not all be general. I have no intention of committing that much time on generaling another war. In fact, I would not mind there not being another war alltogether. Depending on how many people share this sentiment, expect even lower player turnouts than last war.

Seems like I overestimated the power of the dark side.

I really wish to hear more opinions on the topic.

I would join one if one was held, but my priorities have been elsewhere as of late. I feel like this would be one of the more common opinions

I'm a bit in the same boat as d2d, although things are shaping up to be quite hectic this fall I wouldn't mind seeing another war tbh

War during a pandemic is a terrible idea. Let's keep it peaceful.

On a more serious note, you'll probably not get even 20 players for this war. And we've already heavily advertised the previous war as the "last war" and imo it's best if war #13 is indeed the last war.

We couldn't even get enough people for TPvP, which is supposedly one of the most liked events. War #14 is not worth the effort of organizing, just to have like 10 people sign up. It's a waste of time for the WMs and a major disappointment to everyone.

[PlayerOa]

Totally understandable, I'm fine with either solution.

[Wyand]

Yep, it would be disappointing if all efforts would be in vain. But not trying is the worst thing. Don't forget that TPvP had the same fate
last year, while War was held after that, successfully. I understand that ppl can be busy (my autumn may be hectic as well),
but I think we should start doing some arrangements.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Come on, you really wish to watch that "reigned by Darkness"-logo forever?

There will be no War #14

I would gladly take that mantle, but WMing means you cannot participate as a player in War.

You see guys, I understand that most of the community members experienced a lot of Wars,
and maybe because of that they are less interested in another War. I'm a relatively new
member (2,5 years PvP-activity), and maybe that's why I'm itching for more. I also understand
that the available free amount of time is also declining for most of the players, I can feel that,
I had like 60% of the time for War#13 compared to War#12.

At the same time I still feel we should try. For starters it is enough to officially post a "WMs needed topic!".
And then we'll see.

This game is dying. It shouldn't die like an old man - in bed, silently. I'd rather see it dying like a star:
in a Supernova (or maybe just a Nova).
