[Discuss] Theoretical realistic messaging

[Vinnie]

I am starting to be seriously annoyed by this thread. And I am seriously
considering quitting the game if we actually get the delayed messaging.

I know I should probably discuss why, and I know I shouldn't be so harsh
about this, but I am 100% convinced that this would be a VERY bad change for
the game.


People will start to use out of game communication. But that's not neccesary
practical. So it will actually result in people discussing LESS, having
people in power decide more on their own (because discussing it is really
hard and waste of time).

People will be forced to log on late to still see orders, but because that
won't work, attackers will have a very hard time to properly organise
anything. Defending is way too easy over attacking, wars will get
stalemates.

Diplomacy will cease to exist. Discussing with foreign kings gets extremely
hard.

In general, life will become increasingly boring. People will get annoyed
with the system. Battlemaster will become less of a multiplayer game. Abuse
will be everywhere, and even worse, accusations of abuse will fly around. It
adds to realism, but it will kill the game.
