IOM crap

Not gonna lie, it just seems like a bunch of exclusive RP shit to me. Because that all means you can basically do 2 weeks of IoM, boost your stats to insane amounts, stop for a while, make a fresh char so you can play normal Sevidilan for until they catch up and then just bring them back.

Boom, 2 weeks of HUGE boosts, you don't lose out on main story quests and by the time it's sorted, they have:

1 EXTREMELY powerful character
1 Moderately powerful character

In the time it takes everyone else to catch up.

This whole "OoOOOoOo they could never retuuuuurn!" Is a crock O' shite, because as I said, they can just play for 2 weeks on IoM, and then wait for a month while playing a diff character and then slam them back into the story. Boom: Little risk to huge reward, now you got a group of powerful characters who can just steamroll anyone they disagree with. The "We dislike Dacius" crew could easily turn into the "Murder anyone who likes Dacius" crew, at the most extreme point.

Honestly? It shouldn't have ever been a thing. Nobody is forcing anyone to stick around with the Dacius crew, while they're all off elsewhere, you could just request events to your own side of a story and just not hang around with them. The only thing that you MUST do in tune with the Dacius Crew is the map switches. Even then, there are PLENTY of areas to camp out and such on other maps.
You want to go against Dacius? That's your choice, be prepared for a harder time, more stress and the repurcussions that come with it... And prepared to get criticised when you try power levelling yourself faster than a 1-50 grind on Black Desert Online and use the excuse of "But muh dun likey Dacius".

Saying "It's the end of their story" and then follow it with what very much seems like "Na we just wanna get powerful easier so we can jump back in and steamroll people". Because lets be honest, anybody in the IoM who has a vague interest in Sevilidan wouldn't doom their character so stupidly unless they never had the intent of returning, in which case, it makes more sense to create a new character and start over rather than playing a separate server.

Not gonna lie, constantly throwing insults around just makes ya look like a dick.
