ATV

Meh. The entire time that I hunted the grasslands, there was an active ATV clan 90% of the time, and I had trouble with them, maybe once...and it didn't end well for them.

I have however played an ATV, and that was the sweetest, easiest stilt twinking I ever did know. Sadly, the PC in question had shit-shit-shit stats.

My only thing when they do "plots" like this and you do your due dilligence (character reports) you get such shitty, vague responses you're never quite sure you're doing the right thing or you're going in the wrong direction.

That was my PC, unless there was more than one ATV that did that. No, they weren't dying out. They number in the thousands.

I was approved to live with the Sjir (by a ST) with my PC in order to "improve relations" until the admin staff found out and they freaked out. It didn't last long. Anyway, yeah.

You get unlimited stilt lizard grind. It would be incredibly easy to raise an ATV warrior. They don't need to be raiders to be a BIG threat to the rest of the PC population.

ATV raiders are never going to be tolerated. Hell, not even particularly aggressive ATV 'patrollers'. Much like the Strait of Hormuz, it's just too vital a resource. Not just for twink hunters, but for elementalists and other shady types. And I find it hilarious that anyone thinks they'll change anything that isn't staff fiat.

The moment some ATV newbs begin throwing their weight around, you start to get into a Desert Storm like scenario. And I mean the Desert Storm we won.

And in response to 2sids...A) Which admin let you play a cross-tribe delf? and B) Tribes tend to arbitrarily go from 'nearly wiped out' to 'thousands roaming around...over er, there!' depending on whatever arbitrary point staff is trying to make that day.

The Miloka went from an extinct, forgotten about subplot that noone had ever even heard of or dealt with in five+ RL years except a couple staffers to such an all-consuming powerhouse that one of the two largest private armies in the Known World after Tuluk and Nak (Kurac and Salarr), was reeling from their displeasure. Of course, every time they animated NPCs to attack us, they got their asses kicked. But all their damage was 'off camera' shit we could do nothing about or affect.

And when the Salarr PCs didn't give enough of a shit, they made a point of it hurting everyone else's trade routes, to get more people pissed at Salarr. So in other words, I suspect it will be business as usual.

But I do hope that some bright-eyed, bushy-tailed delves app into ATV, just for the inevitable aide/twink hunter/noble drama. You know how fucking boring Tuluk is? So boring that the slightest excuse will get them all over any delf raider business with tears of gratitude in their eyes.

Of course, if delf staff is highly invested in the ATVs for some reason, that could all change. Then it's all about...There are thousands of ferocious, kryl-eating ATV warriors, and they'll storm Tuluk if Salarr hunters don't stop killing their PCs!

I think it stems from interactions with Soh.  D-elfs seem like a PK Containment clan at times and thus do get a bit of resentment from other players.

D-elves are basically designed to twink around and pk people in an attempt at "skill suppression".  Some players just don't care for them.  Especially since C-Elf's are pretty much a dead race, and all rather unplayable for most.
