Before it's too late, let me thank all of you who have helped our Wrath experience a fun one. BnI and DO: Atilla, Mal, Rake, Menasch to name a few. We have had much fun with you both as allies and foes. Dissent and Corrupted: We have had numerous fun fights against you at mines and elsewhere. Special thanks to JGC and KissMe.  CR: I am sorry we grossly outnumbered you at the CR bane, but after all that has been one of the most memorable moments for us on Wrath. Malice, DC, CS, HD, LB, TW, etc.: We have also enjoyed occasional fights with all of you. OO: I am sorry that we have to leave Wrath before we have a chance to know each other better. Surely we have had fun on group raids and at occasional mine fights together. And of course the most memorable one for us has been the Pocket bane. DG and CCC: It has always been great fun to fight against you. KR: I have always disliked the nationalism you bring into this game. However, we have enjoyed the fights themselves we've had with you. and personally Anthrage: I have enjoyed chatting with you very much. I am a fan of the way you play this game; you know what I mean. KickIT: Thank you. You've always encouraged me by having unbiased (not-so-biased) view toward Asian players. Selena: Thank you also for... making fun of me.  Now, depending on the results of the bane WoO discussions, we may have no place to go to. With the current population of 100-150 during Pac-Rim prime time (and fewer during NA prime time I guess), staying on Wrath isn't really an option for anybody. I have thought it's the zerg mentality of the majority of Asian people that most of you NA players hate. I mean like calling in as many allies as possible to the degree where there are no risks at all, using anything for that purpose, nationalism for instance, and setting bane time not to the one most convenient to them but to the one most inconvenient to the opponents. I hate that kind of mentality as much as many NA players do, and that's the main reason why we chose to move to Wrath rather than to migrate to Redemption. On the other hand I have thought the time zone issue could be resolved by some thinking and good communication. But I was wrong after all. You will need a bane WoO to protect yourselves from stupidity like dropping a bane stone on a JP city on Monday. I have tried my best to avoid such situations, but I can't help it any further. I am really tired now. I assume the bane WoO will be implemented to all the regular (read NA) servers, and I have no intention to play on a server where I can't fight to defend my own town. So I keep watching how the Bane WoO thread goes, but this could well be my goodbye post to SB. In that case, thank you all again for the great fun I have had on Entropy and on Wrath.

Well, you can do what everyone else does... Join a nation that has people from all areas of the world. We have players from Europe and Australia in our guild, as well as late night players, so there is pretty much always someone to play with, day and night. That is the option available to Pac-rim guilds once the Bane WoO's go into place. Join a nation with others, like you did on Wrath. Or, if you're like KR and CN and don't mingle with those outside your nationality, adapt, or suffer the consequences of your own decisions.

It will be a shame to see any of the Japanese Guilds go due to Bane Woo. The Japanese Guilds have always been some of the finest to fight against or with, since they do not bring RL Politics into the game and are always up for a good fight --------------------

Quote: i personally dont want to see any of the guilds go. its unfortunate it had to come to this. most of the anger was not towards the Pac Rim players themselves. of course they should be able to defend their city at their time. the problem comes in with NA guilds who are allied with them that use their prime time to defend their city. That is where the anger comes in. i didnt have any problem coming to the pocket bane because i knew they were Japanese. I did have a problem going to the KGB bane because they are NA Chickensoup |

Cameilla, It has been a pleasure to know you on Entropy & Wrath and to have you as part of our nation on Wrath. You know that Pocket players are more than welcome in the nation on the Lore server even if Pocket itself doesn't make an appearance. I really wish they could make it so that the game works for all different time zones but at the same time I understand that its a formidable & complex problem. I wouldn't write off every possibility yet. I don't see why the weekends shouldn't be more liberal but who knows... -En -------------------- Obsidian Overlords NL [Wrath] moc.pkers.com |

Quote: RAWR n stuff. I actually had no idea how much i was actually unbiased until Kishijo said, "hey, the Asian Advocate position is open to anyone that can fill it better, want the job?". Holy crap. It's really easy to pick a side on this issue, since i'm in NA. But i've also understood that the majority of sincere guilds had to put up with us as much as we had to put up with them. Somewhere in the world, it's always a 6 a.m. bane. However, FC/DoA and Dokdo, aka China (CN) and Korea (KR) who decide to make this game a racist/nationalist agenda, are ruining it for others who don't play in such manners. I freakin hate alot of people in this game, and it's because of who they are in this game. I don't hate them because they're dwarves, nor do i hate them because of their religion, race, nationality or gender. Unfortunately, CN and KR have stood out as the worst sportsmanship possible players. Sure, we could blame Huckeleberry and AustinP for them being NA's and hiding under CN. We could blame Manshoon for hiding under KR. Truth be told, if it wasn't for the carebear actions of KR and CN, the position wouldn't be there to present itself to opportunists such as Huck and Manjuice. To CN and KR: KGB, BnI, and other carebear guilds are the massive carebear zerg police. We have enough of those, and at least they aren't being racist about it.

Quote: Shadivak, Thanks for the suggestion. After bane WoO is implemented, joining an NA guild individually would be the only option; yes, I have thought about it. But I don't feel I should do it. You may know that I have a personal web site with SB diary/journal that many Japanese SB players read every day. In April last year, En-Tranz aborted support for Mac users, and we were forced a choice between migrating to Ubi and quitting SB altogether. I said to my 300 readers "Let's go to Ubi". I feel the responsibility for migrating 300 JP players to Ubi. My SB diary still has about 400 hits per day. I know some people check it multiple times a day, so the real number should be perhaps 100-200. Those people don't speak out on the ubi boards, because of the language barrier. And I am representing them on the ubi boards. I have no difficulty myself joining an NA guild as an individual, but most of JP players do. And they have been my supporters. So the only choice left to me is to tell my readers "Let's cancel UBI accounts" when bane WoO is implemented. We have been paying the same amount for accounts as NA players and if this game is so unfair to JP players, we shouldn't continue playing the game. Camellia --------------------

About half NA/Euro players, and about half JP players. They had no problems playing like this, and neither did we. I don't buy the idea that all of the Japanese players will quit the game because of NA WoO's, because they have played with NA players before, and will do so again. --------------------

Quote: Shadivak, No, it doesn't work like you say. The problem boils down to this: Shadowbane is ultimately a siege warfare game. If all the sieges are limited to the WoO of 5AM to 5PM (this is the current mine WoO in Japan time) and if the enemy can force your defending bane to happen on a weekday when no decent players can be on, there is no point playing the game. It's bane WoO which makes a big difference, and that's what NA players are winning from ubi. Camellia --------------------

I find it incredibly hard to believe that they have absolutely NO idea that they are considering a bane WoO. Reason being, during that last trainer city bane that I attended and thus far on Lore Test, the Asian (for lack of a better defining term) players seemed quite able to respond in global chat with their respective languages when some anti-Asian remarks were made. Sure, it could be coincidence, but when they have spammed chat after anti-Asian remarks, logic dictates that they have atleast some semblance of what is going on. Sorry Manny, as much as i'd like to believe that they're completely oblivious, I just can't possibly do it. --------------------

Quote: It was like 8 months (?) after the server had been opened, UBI suddenly named it the official Asian server, then opened new servers, Wrath and Redemption. Are you saying we should have stayed on the old server when other people are enjoying the new servers? You can understand how stupid that idea was if you switch the role of Entropy and Wrath. Imagine UBI put up the new server Wrath and named it the official Pac-Rim server while they told you to stay on Entropy because Entropy had the mine WoO tuned for NA. See? If UBI decided to junk Entropy and put up two new servers, Wrath for NA/Euro and Entropy2 for Pac-Rim at that time, the result could have been very different imo. Camellia --------------------

But if I choose to play on an NA server under the bane WoO rule, I will miss most (if not all) of the banes and mine fights due to work. I've already missed most of the mine fights on Wrath because of the mine WoO, and if I have to miss most sieges Shadowbane isn't Shadowbane anymore. So the choice is between playing on an NA server without banes and mines, and playing on a supposedly put-up Pac-Rim server with CN and KR with insane nationalistic stupidity. My choice would be to quit SB altogether. Thus, my first post. Camellia --------------------

Quote: Sleipner, That's exactly the kind of things I was hoping to experience when I decided to migrate to Ubi servers in April last year. For me it was my first truly international environment in MMO. And Ubi has met my expectation so far. I have had tremendous fun playing Shadowbane with people with different cultural background on Entropy and on Wrath. Ok, this is the good part. Now the bad part is, Shadowbane refugees from ET servers also made the potential time zone problem of Shadowbane prominent. This is a tough problem. My hope was that nations were formed of guilds in different time zones, just as you show an expample of. This is a solution which somehow requires a community consensus. In my opinion, Wrath could have been an enjoyable international server if KR just split into several smaller nations/guilds and each teamed with guilds from different time zones. I thought it was possible through communication. But I failed. Perhaps their nationalism is beyond my understanding. Some NA people showed racism and attacked Korean people on the boards, only to help them band together, too. Bane WoO is a double-edged sword. It is certainly effective for the time zone problems. But it will also kill the fun of this international game. Fun of international game and time zone problems are two faces of the same issue. Camellia --------------------

Quote: Quote: Thanks guys And Camellia I find it sad to hear that you did not goal to combine a nation of guilds from different time zones. Let me tell you this. First when Farella (Some might remember him) and I formed Scales of Balance (SoB) on Death we decided that the guild should been with guys from all over the world. This was working already at that time. We brought SoB with us to Corruption and joined LoC from the very beginning of Corruption server. LoC did also have a lot of players from all over the world. At the end of Corruption server, most of the core LoC players had left for WoW  but Unstable, Spids, Magdalene, Rothin and myself stayed. Magdalene who became nationleader at the very end subbed LoC to Dissent who also have players from around the world, and to be honest it was mostly to save us from destruction. (Others is of another oppinion) We didn't have the numbers to survive any attack on out capital. This subject I'm gonna leave for now tho' otherwise I'll have a lot of people on my neck early enough.Where am I going? Well the deal is this. I would not have been playing this game for the game for very long. Too much time spent for just a game. Too many dead hours just running around. The fact is that even tho' I have never seen the guys I speak with in TS and hell I prob. never will, but many of them have over the years become good frinds. Good men and sweet girls from all over the world. They speak different all of them depending where they are from. Some you understand good and some you don't. But you learn something new all the time and it is not just game chat. Before you know it you are discussing the world policy and maybe saving the world. (This tho' depends on the numbers of beers each individual have had) I hope you get to expereince it some day. Otherwise drop by our TS when Lore goes live and listen to the community we have.

Quote: Sleipner, You just don't understand what Bane WoO means to me. I would love to form a nation of guilds from different time zones if there is no bane WoO. In fact we've had great fun while in BnI and in OO on Wrath. And I had been looking forward to another such experience on the Lore server until the bane WoO discussions came in. I am saying bane WoO would kill all the fun of such multi-time-zone-nation. Imagine that You and I and other people formed a guild on the Lore server. Our guild would run fine as far as banes are not concerned. The problem is that all the banes, whether offensive or defensive, will occur during NA prime time under the new bane WoO rule. While you may still have a decent chance of being able to attend banes, I would have no chance since the bane window is something like 5am-5pm in Japan time, or even narrower as people like TheVoice are insisting on. Our enemy could even force me to defend my town during 5am-5pm on a weekday. Why in hell, do I have to play a game in such an unfair environment? It is after all my pride which prevents me from having fun in the bane WoO rule. Thank you for your responses anyway. I have no objection to your opinion. It is a wonderful thing to be able to form a multi-national, multi-cultural, multi-time-zone nation in Shadowbane. Camellia --------------------

Just wanted to check. Wasn't sure how long it'd take to get there, was hoping they wouldn't be stale. --------------------

this is an international game, there's nothing you can really do about the nationalistic fucktards unless pop. limits are made for sieges. and the current Bane WoO. While it sucks for the handful of asians that still play with honor....it rids us of KR and CN's dirty tactics and support for tools. -------------------- WoW sucks. Am I back?

Quote:Quote: Sure I understand. I live in Denmark myself. I'm always 8 to 10 hours in front of NA. I like to play until the early morning hours tho' and that is NA prime time so it won't hurt me too much. But I see what you mean. Also I would be missing banes and I would never vote for "only NA bane times". We pay the same amount of dollars as the American's to play and should be able to set bane times for our benifit to put it honest. BUT. If you are in a multi-international nation you can always be sure that your nation members will show up and defend you city even tho' you are sleeping. That is no excuse to make make a server like that tho'. --------------------

I posted an idea about implementing bane WoO to encourage formation of multi-time-zone nation in the main Bane WoO thread in the Developer's Corner. http://ubbforums.ubi.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=sbdevcorner&Number=2447446 http://ubbforums.ubi.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=sbdevcorner&Number=2447866 I would appreciate it if any of you give response to the idea, whether there is a chance for the idea to evelve to a resolotion of time zone problem.

I've just cancelled two of my alt accounts. I will probably cancel my main accout soon. My accounts won't expire soon, that is, UBI still gets money while I can't really enjoy playing the game. But it's ok I have already had tremendous fun worth the money. Have fun on the Lore server. Good bye. Camellia --------------------

Well, somewhat of a sad thing to see here. I've been so busy with my new job that I haven't kept up on this issue or the events of this server, and it looks like we're losing people that we should definitely not be losing... Camellia you have my utmost respect as you know. It's funny how mountains of text, words spoken about this or that cannot change what one knows as the result of even a few moments of clear and irrefutable personal experience. In Pocket's case, the wide-ranging admiration and respect you individually and your guild collectively have earned is both very well deserved and a rarity in this game. It's unfortunate that this issue is pushing you, and people like yourself, away. I have not spoken on this Bane WoW issue much - certainly not of late - and when I have, it was always in opposition to the idea that somehow NA players should be catered to more than other players. The idea that somehow it's okay for NA players to set their mine and bane times to their primetime, while anyone else is chastised for doing so, was always ridiulous for me. Some people do not see the world beyond their own borders, or simply don't care about these other people. That's never been truer than in Shadowbane. I'm going to see what I can do about encouraging a more moderate solution to this 'problem'. It may be too late for you, and your accounts, but I can't imagine that SB will be served well by cutting all of these people out of the game. Certainly all of the people here who have enjoyed playing with you would have had a lesser experience in your absence. If you are truly leaving, or even gone, it was a great honor to have known you in this game. If the game does not drive you away and you could be encouraged to stay, should a favorable and enjoyable environment exist within which you may do so, I hope you will consider it. This game needs more people like yourself, not less. Either way, you have my respect and understanding of your decision. Good luck to you in your efforts... *bows* --------------------

Sorry to see you go Cam. You are definitely all class and SB is the less for seeing a player of your caliber leave. |

Quote: I have no idea why my thread about thanks from Pocket (which is staying on Wrath btw) to all the NA guilds which are leaving Wrath for the Lore server must be classified as "Off-Topic Discussion for topics that don't relate directly to Shadowbane". You know I am about the only person from the Asian playerbase on Wrath who can post our opinions decently in English. So I have been trying my best to represent our concerns on the UBI boards. Sure some of my last posts contained criticism to UBI about idea of bane WoO, for the game will become vastly unfair to people in our time zone under NA bane WoO rule, and UBI has not shown any compensating idea like a plan of introducing a new server for Pac-Rim playerbase. But, I don't like crying like a baby, so instead I tried to make people notice how wonderful multi-lingual, multi-cultural, multi-time-zone experiences in Shadowbane have been. That's what my thread is about. But it was such a burden for me to keep posting on the boards on behalf of all the unspoken Asian people alone. You never know each of my posts takes me more than an hour to compose in English. I was really tired. I will be sick if I keep doing it, so I have to be gone. My only relief was the belief that, while voting for the NA bane WoO, the NA community at least understands my point as a valid argument. Now I am really disappointed to know that somebody representing the community classified the thread as something irrelevant to Shadowbane. I am not only unhappy, but also sad now. Camellia PS. Thanks Anthrage. It's kind of too late but I appreciate your words as always. Best regards. And thank you all for keep posting warm words. Your words are my only cure now. --------------------
