I hope one day to be able to see something half as cool playing this game. I get the distinct impression from multiple posters and from reading the wiki that the glory days of Bel were in the first decade of this century.Anastasia of Chamonix wrote:....... At one point, Horde was marching to the field. I could see their leaders seated on platforms above the line of short trees and bushes, high up in the air, adorned in furs and animal skulls. They swayed gently back and forth to the rhythm of booming drum beats. I could not see why they were held so high above everyone. For a moment, I thought they were riding on to the field with elephants.When they emerged from the trees, I could see women from camps were chained underneath the platforms and were wailing. The platforms were being carried by slaves and as they came onto the field, fire-breathers and flag bearers ran about in front of the procession. I have never in my life felt closer to being in a fantasy world, and I will always remember that for a moment, I thought so many things were possible. .......

Have other realms noticed this trend, or are we alone in this?
How can we appeal to the demographic that is scared of garb?

Sadly, no. Family obligations prevent me from travelling much in the game.Acorn wrote:Have you been to Chaos Wars yet?

Tiberius Claudius wrote:Actually, its not much of a thread hijack because the reason behind me needing to put family first is because my wife hates the fact that I fight Bel because she is embarrassed about garb. Our compromise is that I get to do something I enjoy and get some exercise but I'm not allowed to travel far or spend a lot of time or money on the hobby because we all look like freaks and in her mind, a proper adult cares what they look like to the outside world of 'normal' people. There are other issues also like participating in nightlife, adults using their imagination, the risk of becoming engrossed in quasi-religious escapism, being forced to be social and possibly liking any of you child molesters and dateless rejects and undermining her prejudices, and being stuck babysitting the kids in a tent while I play for a couple days to a week, but garb and looking weird are the biggest. While I'd love to attend and see this stuff and fight so many awesome people, she'll never come to an event and I'll never choose to take a week vacation away from my family - weekends are all I'm willing to force, and Idaho is just too far away for me to go play for only a weekend. Gotta pick your battles.
So, back OT, in a way, garb can have affects on those who stick around because of the social stigma and not necessarily because they themselves don't like it.
Garb ftw though. Back to you in the studio.

2. have girls doing the talking is great. the better they look the better result you will get. nothing boosts a realm like a couple youngish girls in good garb running around.
