Your greedy emissary event is over now.
You can Re-enable RP servers by disabling sharding on them again as per your previous agreement with them.
We’ve all had our fun but it’s been a few weeks, time to let RPers play the game as they intended.
Maybe next time try disabling the warmode button or force everyone to the warmode shard to have to do these, just to see how much worse the PVPers would have been about this than how the RPers have mostly been.
I guess if it were me I’d have created an event’s-mode button like warmode where it shards you into any number of shards where people are doing the random event at the time when these events were set to take place. As opposed to enabling sharding on RP servers all together. Just a suggestion.
I was glad to see alternate hubs get set up this time for the duration of the event, but I’d prefer to not have to hang out in Darkshire for good going forward for sure.
I have a post that got moved to Technical Support that I’m hoping will get the attention of the right people to flip the switch.
I want a perma warmode shard. Like if you’re willing to commit to warmode for a couple weeks at a time you get locked to a single shard that noone else has access to unless they do the same. Make it attached to an npc next to xp off ones. I think the warmode toggle enables very two faced behaviour, people who will camp and do world pvp in groups with no real respect for solo people, ganking in groups for no reason, but then playing solo they just swap off warmode with no “punishment”. Maybe there’d be too many people if it were region wide, but it’d be interesting to see if communities could be rebuilt if there were a static shard that you couldn’t even group swap to be apart of.
Please turn off sharding. It’s enough that we had dummies defend the RP server sharding at the start of this debacle. The fact that it hasn’t been turned off by now is dumb and annoying.
I miss being able to rp in the city. Frankly, breaking a piece of content in their game unannounced for several weeks for an event that lasts 2 minutes every two hours was a mistake in the first place.
We were told RP servers wouldn’t get affected by sharding, but we still get hit pretty badly by it
The last 2 or 3 times this happened it was a weeks-long fight with them on Twitter to get them to turn it off. Everyone knew it was going to be the same thing yet again. Light the torches boys.
Just going to hop on this bandwagon to say that war mode and sharding destroyed RP-PvP realms like Emerald Dream in a similar way that it ruins city RPers. We just RP in the world killing each other. RPPvP no longer exists.
Please remove sharding and war mode from previous RPPvP realms altogether so those players have a place to go to.
If you remove sharding (and war mode) from the world, then RPers will have the entire world to RP in, not be relegated to capital cities.
