I guess it was early alpha or something. Ever since they started inviting people from Battlemaster f2p accounts were a thing.

*raises hand* War was always a secondary annoyance at best. Played for the RP and character interaction only.

I don't mean to necro a dead thread, but is anyone here currently a part of Ascalon? After some time, luck, and charity I've been given a barony which I'm pretty excited about admittedly.

[FakerFangirl]

I regret quitting.

I regret quitting.

Why not rejoin?

[Insanegame27]

I regret quitting too. But on the other hand, the game was failing and I can recognise the sunken cost fallacy when I see it. I had good times, but ultimately nothing ever happened. It's been a steady decline since Rathgar and Lowlands fought. I know that Lowlands has mostly dissolved.
I don't think it ever hit the critical mass that the game needed or rather if it did it could not sustain it. The map was too open, too large. Land was something that nobody cared about unless it had thousands and thousands in population and 'bad' land was palmed off en masse to players who quickly grew frustrated. If the map were smaller and even 'bad' lands having a purpose, then I don't think it would have fallen.

Re-posted from some other thread in which I posted this accidentally:

Could somebody tell me how to retire a character in this?
Recently I've been receiving notification emails due to one of my long-forgotten characters apparently being caught up in some siege-tacular action. I managed to remember my details and sign in to take a closer look, but I'm told that I "have more active characters than [my] current subscription level allows", leaving me unable to actually log in to the character in question.

I doubt I will actually start playing again, since this game was always confusing as heck and what little I'd learned I've long since forgotten, but it'd be interesting to take a peek at what's going on. Apparently the character those notifications were about has fought in a total of 13 battles, killing 22 "mortals" in the process. No idea how many were whilst I was still playing.

I've got a feeling I know what Yoink's character is dealing with, but, for people who've mentioned regretting quitting, I'd suggest jumping back in. I certainly think that the game is getting better with each update, and I feel that the interaction is coming back, albeit slowly.

I've got a feeling I know what Yoink's character is dealing with

One dude with an army repeatedly attacking the 30~ player characters that were chilling in a settlement of his, the aptly-named Fort Lostsoul?
Seriously, I think the person who brought my character here in the first place was deliberately gathering up abandoned characters en masse and dumping them here, haha. Methinks this other fella just wants some more notches on his epeen. That or he's just really bored, which wouldn't surprise.      

[Hanzoku]

I want to stop getting emails =/ I want to start playing again.

I’ll take a look when I get to work and see if I can help with that.

*edit* OK, it looks like if you haven't played for a while, your subscription is set to 'Locked'. If you go to 'Change subscription level' -> You can set it to 'Casual', which allows 4 characters active. At that point, your characters should become unlocked and you can retire them.

You can also go to Profile -> Edit Settings, and set your e-mail notifications off.

*2nd edit*

A while ago, fighting abandoned nobles was a good way to slowly pick up experience for troops in ways that wouldn't end up with half of them dead. I'm not sure if that's still the case - boredom is another good reason.

[coleslaw35]

I'm not exactly sure when the change took effect, but I've been told that attacking slumbering nobles no longer gives experience for anyone involved in that battle, which really sucked when I took part in that 50+ noble, 10,000+ troop battle that somehow sucked in a random slumbering First One and got no experience for my troops out of it.

Just wanna let anyone still notified on this thread that if you want to come back to the game, I would be more than willing to let you join me in my county in Ascalon. We recently "warred" with the Lowlands, though I use warred very loosely since most of the Lowlanders were slumbering. I now have a bunch of land that I had to make characters to manage simply because I just don't have enough real player vassals.

It's very possible that the few people active in the Lowlands are beginning to muster troops for a counterattack, so you may get to see a bit of action. However, it's becoming more and more doubtful as time goes on so if the wargaming aspect of the game isn't your cup of tea then you shouldn't really have to participate in that regard.

I'd be willing to start you off with an estate, if you want one, and if things go well and I start to trust you more I'd be wiling to throw you a few bones here and there, whether it be land, troops, or titles.

I'll RP as hard and as often as you want to RP. I'm not one to really initiate past a simple exchanging of letters, but if you were to interact with me I'd reciprocate to the best of my abilities. Honestly, I'm mostly looking for people to hold land. If you don't want to RP and just want to play spreadsheet simulator then I won't bother you one bit, but you'd still be ICly obligated to certain extents.

I find this game very fascinating and tried to play it a while back, but I did not  understand how it works and how I was supposed to play it.

I would be willing to try it again if someone could help me understand how the whole thing works.

It's impossible for me to say how you're supposed to play it because you could play it in so many different ways. It all just depends on what kind of experience you want from the game.

As for how it works? That's very broad and also difficult to answer as a generality. Though, if you wish to get into it again there is a Discord server for the game where you can ask specifics and get relatively quick responses, as compared to a forum. The developer is in it too, so if you have a more mechanics based question that no one else can seem to answer he'd most likely be able to provide one.
