I agree. Could be fun. Zeta could make a map for Solo players;)

i've always been for it. sadly, most people aren't :(

revenge, glad u enjoyed playing with dak and company!

I love this idea.

While you guys run around playing alone, I'll still continue chatting with my ex-kingdom mates and organise a pseudo-kingdom where we will work together! :)

Rhiannia, we essentially had this a long time ago with 3-man kingdoms. All that happened was the 20-man kingdoms divided into groups of 3 and worked together as usual. In this case, everybody would be divided into groups of 1 and will still work together, as per usual.

personally i dont plan on playing solo...i was thinking of the idea for those players who dont do well in a teamwork setting. if they had an alternate world where they could play solo...pvp...then the worlds that played in kingdoms...the kingdoms would run smoother as the members would be more organized with each member working together...as it is now half the members of each kingdom are off working their own agendas while trying to fill their dues as kingdom member and this doesnt get it.

hmmmperhaps then on that solo world there should be a way to prevent that...like no ingame chat for that world. only these public forums...this way there could be no private communications to organize groups.

IRC

Because people want to, and they also like to be asses.


At the moment, you've got top-class Fantasia players going onto the lower rounds each round to kill new guys. Those type of people are the guys who would also go to a 1v1 world and work together. I can't explain why they would do it, but they would, and all that would happen is the 1v1 world would quickly be turned into an ordinary world: a world fought between kingdoms, except they don't have banners to show their true colours.

stupid script writer "grumbles to self"

It's very naive to think that any free for all server would stay alliance-free. If not their normal kingdoms, people would certainly work together with friends.

Rhianna, you dont seem to see what they are saying. Sure you *Rhianna* would goto this world with the intention of playing solo to compete against others 1 vs 1. BUT there will be people who will goto those worlds and work with their friends to dominate it.

Yes people like to fight friends, but there are some who like to fight with friends too.

yea but the ones that are bold will become legends!

I agree

I agree 

I agree

i lik this idea but u can easily abuse it

Why not ? Agreed with Ms. Rhiania.

A separate world for solo players. I think there might be a lot of players want to go solo. Sure there will be friends, alliances and etc. Well atleast they can't merge their armies and bashed up other players.

Of course the set back will be most of the players will probably farming till the end but if they likes it, so be it.

i would certainly join this world, and not make any peace. it would be a great time!

@ dolfyn...i never said i didnt like the game...i merely stated that players who have a hard time with the concept of teamwork may have more fun on a solo world. or to put it nicer...those who get bored with mega alliances and like the challenge of seeing if the could not only survive but comeout number one against the field of hundreds of other combatants at the end of era. i think it would be a fun challenge actually and might be tempted to play solo myself on occasion to break the regularness of each era being similar.

If you remove PM's, lock all forums for an era, remove in game chat for an era, remove all titles, remove the ability to name cities/armies, find a way to prevent players using IM programs/email/telephone for the era, prevent scouts from moving within a certain distance of each other and there's a chance that you may get to play a 1 vs 1 era without alliances.

I would rather see different worlds containing different styles rather than 7-8 worlds being generally the exact same aside from size and starting time.

A non-kingdom map would work completely fine.  You might not get complete solo action.  But it would get rid of merge, spawning together, and easy communication.

You could ally with friends, but if it was a large map...chances are they would be far away.  Also it would be harder to trust people.  So yes you would get lots of nap, but also lots of nap breakers.  Having to open gates constantly would be a pain too. 

I am 100% up for a world like this.  I think players should be slightly more open minded.  Making a change like this wouldn't ruin anything only add for more variations for other players.

So yes you would get lots of nap, but also lots of nap breakers

lol...i can just see the threads now ...instead of "-------kd name here--------" is a nap breaker"" threads...we will gets ""---------player name here----- is a nap breaker"" threads by the tons...will have to have a nap breaker forum just for them...lol

Yeah I can understand that Gothrim.  This is one of my favorite games that I have ever played in my entire life.  I've played everything from first person shooters to mmorpg.  It fits my life style and the way I like to play games.  Watching the way kingdoms work together here is unique in the world of online games for sure.

IMHO, teamwork is one of the things that makes this game stand out. I must confess I'm not the world's greatest teamplayer irl myself. Perhaps a lot of us aren't. So it's good to see how well the kd system works here. Why trash kd's when the whole game and all the fine-tuning is built around them?

i couldnt agree more and i certainly wasnt trashing it...thats why i suggest a solo world...because their are players who dont work well in a team setting and it ruins the whole team set up and no body has fun that way...they want to have fun fighting and playing this game same as we do...but not everyone is cut out for or has learned how to work with a group...maybe they can learn how to through this game...but why force them to and ruin everyones fun...let them choose to or not.

Agreed with Ms. Rhiania. Ok, we can say that it won't be a 1vs1 world, that they wil play together using IRC or MSN or whatever... but maybe not, so can't truly say what'll happen in that "KD free" world, let's try it and see what happens ^^ this is my opinion, don't try to judge what'll happen because we never know :P

I think it's a great idea, to be free to choose where to play, and we should not supose that there will be a lot of NAP and so on in those "KD free" worlds, I would not play there for the moment but I think that somebody who have played in a KD and followed the rules and NAPs and strategies for long time, he may like to have some breath and play alone for some era, deciding himself and depending only by himself). And that doesn't make him "autist" nor "selfish" nor any bad adjective, it's just another way to play.

I encourage Zeta to take this idea in consideration ^^ and I'll perfectly understand if ADMINS decides not to do this, there's a lot of work for an admin and I know that not all of the implementations can be done easily.

PS: sorry for my poor english lvl :-) I tried to make it understandable :'(

Oh, come on people. Get over it. What Lady Rhiannia said and I fully agree is that there should be a world for Lonely players. NO AI, no Kingdoms.
Let's take this script for example:
Your name is Boo (hope i won't offend anyone). And you are a Solo player. You will go there. No kingdoms. Just you and other lonely minds plotting to get rid of eachoter. There are two possibilities:
1. You stand alone and fight every living creature next to your cities (that would be what you wished for)
2. You make friends and Ally even if not in a form of a Kingdom. But then you would realise that the game is more pleasant as a team. Thing that would FINNALY educate the solo players inside Kingdoms right now, solo players that we all hate so much when they are kingdom mates.
So, no matter what Boo wishes for, Boo gets. If he further decides he want to rule a lonely players world he will remain on that map. If he decides he liked the way a team work then he would fit to join a kingdom in a Kingdom World and everybody will appreciate his skills of teamplay.

Even more. If Zeta could, Zeta should allow playing as multi. I mean one account on Kingdom World and one account on Solo world. That would be twice the fun for some. (for such an example see classical Utopia which has 3 worlds with different rules).

P.S. All hail Dolfyn the flaming farmer
