I like how this has awakened the servers a little bit, and will continue too, but there is a major downfall to this, that is simply annoying.

Every server has a few players that don't actually "play" tynon. They only login to curse in chat, revenge during banish, etc. Once these guys catch on to how simple it is to take cities away, or be pests... Things will be even uglier. Outside of it being way to easy to take cities, I think the awakening was needed.
