Something to discuss

In Illarion, i noticed there are no family or 'clans', whatsoever, making it only to worry about yourself, and maybe your friends. If, people started forming families (even just one parent with 'adopted' children, uncles, or nephews etc.) will make people not just get food for themselves because they depend on it, but the lives of their family does too. Other things like violence or lack of money also makes families stay close.

Hm, there are families. Very small ones, but families nonetheless.

One of my very own characters has a family starting, after all. But yes, I definitely believe this would be a good idea. It's so much more challenging when a character has to provide not only for themselves but for other too. It adds to the game a lot, though it makes for hard "Decisions" for a character. Perhaps others should consider. ^_^

There are families in Illarion. It is called the Rothmans. We still haven't figured out how to exterminate them...

Given how much everyone gets around all, I'd say its already one big happy family.

Az has family

But, his wife is elsewhere along with his biologic son, he adopted a kid too, way before the biologic one. He used to be an uncle too, but that family disappeared. Now I think he's a godfather *Looks to Brooke*

Yeah families are interesting. You'll get to feel the regretting emotions of your char!

My main char has got four wifes in the four years I played him regulary.
The problem with families is, that you depend on other peoples will to play.
If the PO of your chars wife stop playing Illarion, you have to explain, why you haven't got a wife anymore. The same with sons or daughters. Happened at least four times to my main char ... so on long time, playing families doesn't really work.

Perhaps in the future when there are more active players(If the server can handle such a thing -,-) families will be a bit more common in Illarion.

There is going to be a big settlement of Rothmans soon.

Vern Kron · Post by **Vern Kron** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 2:35 am

Great, more of em...ugh...I can barely stand the one...

Families exist, and even if they don't...I basically consider a char's friends IG as their family. Friends stick together, and sometimes friends will kill for one anouther. Basically...any guild could be seen as a family, not to mention the fact that friends are sometimes more often seen together than a person's family. Consider this, who do you see more often, friends, or family. Most characters are in their 20's range, and often have moved away from their parents, parents are dead...basically the parents aren't around any more.

Konrad Knox · Post by **Konrad Knox** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 8:57 am

clans exist in the game as well. numerous clans.
Bloodskulls, Blackstone, Nordmark, Dragon clan, Goldburg - are just the ones that ring a bell to me, but i bet there are more.

wolfsword · Post by **wolfsword** » Tue Dec 18, 2007 9:43 pm

well....MOST families aren't well known, so many more should be made.
its also nice to fight with your brothers/sisters >:D

Well, there is one big dwarven clan and it is called Silverbrand and it is the best family one can have.
