View Full Version : EQ Pvp is like playing Risk (the board game)

Think of the server as a game of Risk.

In November, there were 600+ players from varying factions all battling for control of areas like Madagascar (Oasis) and Mongolia (South Karana).

Now, the map has been ravaged by war: all of the cards have been distributed, army bonuses are long gone, and the population is in peril. There are only 30 brave souls left on the board, and they've realized by joining hands instead of waging war, they can spread themselves out across the entire map and own it outright.

The problem with that is there is nothing interesting about the game of Risk when the 50 terrorities barely have 1 piece on them and can't even declare war - aka peace time.

The solution to this problem is clear the board, grab your 5 friends who've been eating cheetos and watching TV in the room over, and start a new game. Wipe the board!

This analogy would be more convincing if you could find a way to incorporate some big black boners.

Analogy is a fun thing to use.

Fail analogy.

A closer analogy would be, everyone else got all their pieces down the shoots and ladders faster, so took my piece off and still went home.

The board is still there, you're still able to take all the territories and accomplish the same things you were always capable of. You just have to man up, as said by your fellow holocauster.
