There Are No Stupid Questions, But There Are A Lot Of Inquisitive Idiots

j/k

I dont see a problem with polls, since we are all going crazy not knowing anything, and waiting to see if we are in the beta, etc I say why not?

Lex, you sound like you actually got out the map and looked at it. You're trying too hard. Stop it.

All 3 factions can get there in two jumps from two different directions.

That is true of all the islands that don't have a direct jump from a sanctuary actually...

Anyhow, for that reason, and since the map is made to be a pretty complicated of a very simple version of a push, I would guess all the two jump islands if all three factions are equally balanced. So Ceryshen, Searhus, and Oshur, and Solsar.

The ones with the least fighting will probably be the single jump islands that only one Sanctuary connects to, so Forseral, Hossin and Amerish.

If the balance on a server is fairly one or two sided, you would expect quite a bit of fighting on single jump, but 2 Sanctuary islands, as the weaker side will be trying to push out of their Sanctuary, so Ishundar, Cyssor, and Esamir.

And there, no vote on the poll, as I cannot predict any one island, but a set.

Nope. All factions have a single two jump route to any other island, but Searhus is the only one that has a pair of two jump routes to it, for all three factions. This means that all factions will find themselves converging upon searhus from 2 different fronts.

Some of those names are so descriptive...

Searhus: Volcanic continent. Sears us.

Forseral: Forested continent. For (ests) are all.

Solsar: Desert continent. Sol = sun.

The most fighting will be done in the VR training area.

Cyssor will definitely have the most fighting between NC and TR because their sactuaries link there.
TR and Vanu will mainly fight at Ishundar and Vanu and NC will fight at Esamir.
These three continents will have the bulk of the fighting occur at them because two different empire's sactuaries link there. I don't see why much fighting would happen other places.

Didn't read the second part Either way, I think what I said will still hold water, although Searhus may have more combat, but I doubt how you get the island matters much but more how far it is for both teams.

Stupid Question Stupid Answer time

The Continent with the most fighting will be the one with the most people on it...




I think I'm dumber for having written that, and hope none of you are dumber for having read it

I Also selected Searhus as its in a strategic location but i see many voted for Cyssor assuming i guess that the main battles will be between NC and TR.

Well if thats true, while the NC and TR are fighting over that chunk of rock, the Vanu will take over the rest of the world then come in and crush the technophobes.
