    Sounds like the game was PERFECT right here, but I like the compromise as well, as it is described. I am encouraged to check it out!

    I think making it more difficult for attackers to prevail along with reducing the punishment for losing are good moves.

    I recall back when Shadowbane launched my clan built ourselves a nice little town, I had a shop in it of some sort even.

    One day a mega clan declared war on us, but we were up for the fight, brokering deals with other clans on the server as part of a mutual defense pact.

    Well, as these things often go, the mega-clan attacked at 3:00 am the day before the timer came up, permitting them to destroy the walls and all structures except 7 or so protected by the "tree" or whatever it was called. (Mine wasn't protected)

    I logged in the next morning to do some last minute wall reinforcement and found total devestation.

    I quit the game later that day after saying goodbye to my fellow clan mates.

    Thing is,  I was enjoying the game so much to that point I literally was going to cancel my three DAOC subs (which I had let run for the 3 months) and stick with SB.

    Instead after this happened I went back to DAOC for another few years, eventually paying for a total of 5 subs at my peak.

    While SB eventually died....

    If Kyleran leaves your game is in trouble...
    I have left a trail of tears in terms of games which crashed and burned after I left.
