mara iz a demon in hindu mythology!

truth can sometimes be stranger than fiction. i have oft wondered why iz it that out of all the places in game, we choose to congregate in mara c! a place of never ending drama and pvp around the clock and where u become conditioned into the game.

i recently decided to look the word up and i found it quite bizarre that i found the meanings to speak of a demon with attributes that directly reflect the behavior u witness in mxo's fav hangout!

 

 

klesa-mara- embodiment of all unskilfull emotions! in mara c, everyone knows of the drama in mara c, if u dont, just watch.

 

mrtyu-mara- ceaseless round of birth and death! in mara c, if u pvp, u always die, go to the loading area and come back again.

skadha-mara- conditioned existence! if u choose not to hang out in mara c, no one knows u.

 

and mara also means death! i have come to the conclusion that while we kill each other in mara c, we are also killing the game by hanging out at mara. we must get out, get away from mara and find greener pastures. i suggest we head east to international district. thay have dojos to pvp in!

Mara is also a name for a relative of the Guinea Pig which I find fits for some odd reason...

I choose not to hang out at Mara C.

Why? Because it's Mara C. :/

I refuse to listen to this nonsense, Mara is a place of all good and warm kind hearted players coming together to play the game to the fullest. Your meanings fail, and i recommend all sane and willing people continue to hang with the cool kids at Mara.

   Yes, but most of the Richland neighborhoods are named after Biblical terms.

Having everyday PvP at Mara C is better then anywhere else in two ways;

1. Shows new players that there are people playing on the server and, if PvP is in full swing, showcases the different high level abilities for them.

2. Zion PvPers can PvP outside, in a fairly wide area, without interference from Agents, be them node Agents or War Agents.

Despite these two reasons, there is one that overrides them both; People want to do daily, normal PvP at Mara C.

3. Having an assortment of vendors nearby, especially so near the hardline, makes it a good place to return to after missioning to sell off loot.

4. Numerous isolated areas where PvP can migrate to. Front of the church/monument area, the hardline area, the bridge/street upper deck, the bridge/street lower deck, etc. but all located nearby the hardline so reconning PvPers can return quickly to the fray.

Yes, leave mara cause it's killing the game.  And move to international where no new players can find us...

Yeah not that he can reply to these rebutles, BUT yeah Mara C is a major hang out because it used to be one of the 4-5 starting hardlines from way back when. Jus tlike Tabor W and Uriah. (Also Appolyon had a starter as well as I believe Achan C). And people know you if you dont hang out in Mara C. This is a MEGA City, theres always other places to See another person. Though, in Mara C, its just funnier XD.

Actually Uriah SW or Tabor W would be more logical places to hang out...
