Realms?? (in General)

i know what they are, but in the wiki it says

shire--people playing up to 2 months

rivendell--more than 2 months less than six

lorien--more than 6 less that 1 year

gondor--after finally a year

why is it that my fellow clan members both joined CB2 around december 15-20 2005 and now they are in rivendell.

and it has just hit a month for both of them.

is the way people are put into realms wrong by the wiki?

I always thought you got into rivendell after a month..

yah, wiki is wrong. WRONG!

oh, forgot to add that they were rivendell in under a month

I guess Rivendell is one of those very "selective" communities. :P

did they buy a character Flamey?

you have probably changed it, but no there character was created same time as there user

Yeah I pretty much purchased my way into gondor.

Odd. I've been sent to Rivendell today and I've not been registered a month yet.

Do Realms even have a purpose?

yes, realms have a purpose, or at least i think that they do, check the wiki for my explanation on realms :)

Hey Shade... I read over the Wiki about Realms and this stood out:

"Rivendell: You will be in Rivendell when you have played more than 1 but less than 6 months."

Not to pick at nits, but like I said above; I've not been registered a month yet, but was placed in Rivendell today. Is there some other factor at work to determine when a realm change occurs?

The character you own, if you bought it from another player who has played it for a month or longer then you will be placed in Rivendell also

"If you have a character that's older than your account, then that character's age is used instead."

As stated in the wiki already, though if you haven't bought a character the realms are a bit differently divided perhaps...

I created my character (did NOT buy him) when I started. I was in Rivendell 2 weeks later. So yeah, Wiki must be wrong.

Likewise. All of my characters were created by myself and not purchased. There must be something else that comes into play when determining a realm change.

Just look at Mikel.

He is already in Gondor and has not gotten a character from someone else.

Mikel has a character that was created on Jan 1st 2005. That's why he's in Gondor.

@ Jafo and PirateKing, perhaps going to Rivendell happens when you are 2 weeks old, I should look into it.

@ Ranger: Render owned by mikel.

Ok done some looking around in Rivendell:

Pirateking
A member of Carnage Blender 2 since December 30, 2005.
Realm: Rivendell

HoTbOyOuTsHiNyA
A member of Carnage Blender 2 since January 4, 2006.
Realm: Shire

So within 5 days hotboy should go to Rivendell.

now, checking how many days / weeks that it is:

you: 21 days, hotboy 16 days.

So it has to be 3 weeks, if you turned to Rivendell today :)
