Look at improving the debate mechanic, not at eliminating peaced revolts. There are enough pk conflict mechanics. 

100% prefer peaced revolts. Violent revolts are just open PK events like all the others that I am disinterested in.

I like participating without being all but required to PK, so I like them.

I'd rather governments be looked at instead of removing peaced revolts entirely, as discussed in this thread.

I understand I might be in the minority here, though.

I think the problem with peaced revolts is that debating is simply not effective because the other person can just walk away and reset the debate.

The general consensus seems to be no, but I thought I'd come ask the forums.

My thoughts on peaced revolts are that they're pretty unfun by nature. Debating isn't a very well fleshed out mechanic and it's more or less impossible to keep someone in the room to debate you if they don't want to, so it devolves into a game of running in circles and groups spamming divert on mobs, sometimes for hours on end.

What do you think of peaced revolts? Are they a fun aspect of the game? If so or if not, why?

This isn't meant to get details and particulars, but generally speaking, how did everyone successfully say good-bye to their mortal characters? That's always felt like the hardest thing lots of potential volunteers would have to do, letting go of their babies.

I'm going to echo Aonia's answer. I came up because I was done being a mortal and basically logged in to idle/talk to people on OOC clans. It was easy to give up my mortal. I do occasionally get pangs of wanting to quit the havens, log in and get up to my old antics, but then I remember that most of my old friends have retired, quit playing, moved onto other characters, etc. and all that exists of my character realistically is memories. I can cherish those memories from up here.

@lief For me, it wasn't actually too hard. I had reached a point where I was content that I had told all of the stories I wanted to tell about my character. That said, letting go was definitely still painful, and I do get very nostalgic now and then. We call it mortalsickness - mostly what I do when that happens is spend several hours reading old logs and getting emotional until it passes.

@uzriel I never answered yours, so here you go:

NPC: Setisoki (obviously), Caedir (look at him, he's hot) and Brennan (hacking up phlegm and being grumpy is a lot of fun).
Area: Having spent a lot of time in that corner of lore for the Ghani event, I actually really love Malacoda. And, you know, Czixi's realm & temple
Event: This is like asking me to pick my favourite child, so here are some favourite fragments of various events, not all of which are my doing. Resurrecting Cririk and then killing him again for Hallifax's guild reformation. Ghani and Magnora's Promise. People slowly learning to talk to the Kaelye. The varied and wonderful mini-events with the release of Timequakes.

Most of the obviously favorited NPC's I've never heard of, in my little tainted Mag bubble. But what I am getting out of this is that I clearly need to quest in Meliashmora.
