Merry jõl-mas, merry christmas, happy holidays, happy hanukkah, merry yuletide and happy just-another-day to you scrooges,
We are absolutely delighted to jump on the christmas bandwagon and throw snow at things! While this patch is just a wee one, we have a few surprises thrown in and are paving the way for some radical overhauls (yes, including the loot system) so keep your eyes peeled for additions.
I am also delighted to introduce a special Christmas event! The Nordic army have stolen christmas presents from the villages they have raided along the way and it is up to the noble soldiers of the Swadian Army to reclaim them! Whoever has the most presents on the 31st of December will find a rather nice present to bring in the New Year...
I would like to take this opportunity to make a community wide address. I think in the spirit of festive cheer that is an appropriate to express my distaste at the turn the community has taken recently. NordInvasion used to have a community that I was immensely proud of; the support and friendship that was evidenced on our servers was something that made NordInvasion stand apart from the rest of the Warband community and from the gaming community in general. The behaviour that I see on some servers is disgusting and I am tired of all the reports I receive regarding the so-called "elite class" of NordInvasion. There is no elite class in this mod and anyone that would like to tell me otherwise will receive my own brand of festive cheer. In general, there is no such thing as a player who "does not deserve" the loot that they receive (cheating excepted) and despite what some would have you believe, our current loot system is random. As I have said, we are working on a new system and it is now in the testing phases. I remember when many of you first started playing NordInvasion and in general, I have enjoyed seeing you grow and progress throughout the mod. There are some players who have both disappointed and saddened me on how they have progressed throughout this mod. I will however not sit idly by and watch certain players make this mod unenjoyable for others to play. Rather than the negative air this paragraph has taken on, I would rather a positive message is taken from it. This community was once a friendly and supportive group and I believe if players stop and think before speaking and take a moment to remember how they started out in the mod, we can move forward and find the mod a more enjoyable place for everyone.
