From some conversations I've listened to, I've been wondering the general opinion of them for a while.

You missed the "No, I dislike them, but I feel obligated to show up anyways." option!

You missed the "I'm in the Serenwilde, we an odd RP where we allow some of our members to do something, while allowing other members to ignore it totally because they loath astral and all it stands for."


Edit:and also the "heck no, goats would pwn me instantly"

Edit: never mind, you all can figure out something close to how you feel.

I was only in one and it was kind of fun, basically got crushed by kaervas demensce though as it was only about Five glomdorings vs ten or so magnagorians no one else showed up.

How about the "I don't like them and I feel no obligation to join in so just do my own thing?"

That's what I'd say.

I like them, it's the only time I really participate in combat. Wish demesnes would just die though.

I don't really care for how they are now. Winning or losing side I think it is crazy people are allowed to link and so fourth while graced. Do not like my allies or enemies doing it because it's just stupid. Demenses eh take out the summons and I am fine with them. Not going to say NO you can't have them because that hinders a lot of people and killing their offense. So take out summons and your good.

I participate because I feel like someone should, but most of the Wilde doesn't bother. Usually our whole sphere is demesned before it begins, and any group that goes up is killed before the event even really starts, which makes it so we can't really get involved at all.

Besides that, though, it's not bad. I agree with the linking thing. As for demesnes, I'd prefer if each group could only set up a demesne on their own "home" sphere. That, and I wish more members of the Serenwilde had an RP reason to participate, since now it's usually just four or five of us at best.

Oooooh, I like that idea. Would be nice if it applied to non-wildnodes time as well. Power to the herbalists!

Have it be something like when astral is normal, there is power coursing through the other spheres that prevents foreign demesing, but when wildenodes starts it gets all muddled together and you can meld wherever you want... It stops people from melding before the wildnodes event starts, but allows mages/druids to have an offensive option after the nodes come into play.

I'd be okay with that idea, since druid/mage offense is essentially useless without demesnes. It would still be even better if wisp/demesne summon got nerfed and demesne size was limited, but every bit is progress.

There's still the problem with RP reasons to participate, but I suppose that's something we can work up on our own if we try hard enough.

My category isn't up there, so I'm voting here.

Doesn't participate in them, but helps the City out in other ways while they're going on to make up for the absence.
