I remember those proud days when Herbal lead the mighty Albion forces, I remember fondly Herbal gathering a force of 500 Albs in an attempt to teach the Midgard scum a lesson after Midgard stole a relic at 8 am. The fact that Albion was so incensed by this travesty and lack of honour enable Herbal to gather such a large force was truly astounding. Even with "only" 300 Midgard defenders in Odin's it was clear that the White Rose raid (that I was in) had touched a nerve.

I remember the hundreds of posts by the outraged Albion’s over this blatant act of dishonesty, the fall out lasted weeks. I remember one post by Herbal “we will take the relics and we will do it when every single mid is online”.

Poor herbal would turn in his grave now, the trend set by Custodia Malacitana has been rigorously followed, 17 relics taken in the Grave Yard hours, most like the OF relics taken from a single keep.

In NF I have “never” defended against a successful Albion Relic raid and this makes me sad. Albion attitudes have certainly changed, and perhaps so have others...so a poll, to end this debacle once and for all! :)

Let’s see what today’s players think, are GraveYard raids now FoTM? Are Epic raids old school? Will Alarm clocks make a come back? Did Ardamel and Herbal have an affair, marry and elope to Hibernia?

Don't bother posting flames and retarded crap, it's all been said before, and if you must post at least try and put an intelligent well written post together... the one line bullshit just makes it longer to scan the posts for some intelligent prose :)

I used to care about organising prime-time raids...

Until after clustering i scheduled an RR with about 150 albs from both excal and pryd to raid hibernia... when we set sail and landed at da Behn, mids showed up with 200+ at berkstead.

The raid was blown, people in the other realms knew about it in advance and launched a counter raid purely aimed to spoil ours (at least mids did, hibs looked like they were taken by surprise).

That's where my enjoyment in organising proper raids died. take relics whenever you want, the oldschool people just don't care anymore (at least i don't). Since clustering it's not possible anymore to organise a decent raid without info leaking out. It has been made too easy to share raid info between realms. Why should i invest time to organise a decent raid when someone else invests 10% of that time to spoil it? I don't know how this is in Mid/Hib, but in Alb, organising a raid in advance means other realms knowing about it.

Quickly organised raids mean less numbers, which means small chance in primetime. Sure, people can do them, but getting twatted everytime by the standard WL defence force gets old fast ;).

My contribution to a hopefully sensible thread.

i think Ebleek is just trying to be funny in his own special way ...
the only problem is somebody has to tell him his not funny and only him laughing with this jokes, oh well if that what makes him happy just dont give much attention to him (dont worry he ll grow up some day :fluffle: )

Retarded polls call for retarded answers, don't blame the people!

The answer is in your poll, it's a MMORPG! So that means it's 24/7, so if albs/mids/hibs want to do a relic raid in at the early hours of the morning they can.

Anyone can do what they like, even though people whine about it (adding, zerging etc) it's still part of the game and no matter what you do it won't stop it !

I myself have never been on a Alarm clock raid *strokez something* and never will.

Elbeek i got few things to say:
i wasnt trying to be funny in oposition too u
it just my (and i dont think only mine) observation
and whatever/however u trying to put my nickname suits more a 8-10 year kid than a matture man (i think u trying to make me get pissed over u) and after few posts u did that well ... sorry but is pointless from mine point of view and i now feel more pitty about u

Sad to see the general population of FH is still incapable of sensible retorts.

I for one think the poster's thread is a good one, especially with the poll attached. Postfarming can be done in other threads as well, leave this one alone if you don't have the ability to voice your opinion in a decent manner.

Must send a petition to Mythic and ask to make chamber reloading an instant spell so you can defend vs Albion relic raid raiders 24/7 better.

Problem solved me thinks.

And that's excactly how it should be. Everyone can arrange for 30-40 people to do a raid 5 in the morning. That means only 30-40 gets to take part in the fun, while greatly affecting the rest of the population (the other 150 people).

I have no doubt that there is a chance Midgard will alarm clock raid Albion back at some point. It's just a matter of when. I am also certain if it turns out to be an alarm clock, we will have this discussion again. This time though, it will be albs calling mids lame for doing it early morning, and mids saying "It's a 24/7 game!".

I think it's more the thing that albs have a very hard time to get enough people to take you out in primetime. Vs hibs we have to get past the animist/bainshee zerg, with all the lols bugs and interupt/kill trough wall, that's pretty hard. And vs mids we have WL's with insta kill, and maybe if you add a healer with insta aoe mezz+stun, they can wipe quite big enemy forces. We don't have a class that can do anything similar to that. There's no insta dmg or aoe stun, or even camping pets or huge area of effect dmg that goes trough wall.

We need very big numbers, we don't have it. Was nice showups these former days though when we had relic raid going practically 24/7, maybe things changed.

You wount believe me ofc, but if you havent heared it before here is what happened.

Durgi planned a relic raid on Albs about a week in advance...actually one of the first really planned ahead raids done so far...It had been on the forums, the different GMs had specific tasks etc.

All this planning only to find that Albs where off in the wooden lands of Hiberna with ALOT of people...so when we arrived in Albland it was almost empty...we hit north and south hard and fast...Albs in hib noticed something funky was going on and decided to make the largest mass suicide in history only to show up with a 100 people serg at the south forces.

In the end we got 2 of the keeps but were sorced and monsterress dotted back to the shores of Midgard.

Was fun but the raid it self had nothing at all to do with knowing about your raid in advance...(not to mention hitting you like that when you had such a force just a sucide away would be stupid...better to actually hit hibs at the same time you did if we were informed in advance)

The one thing I hate about Albion having strength relics is that the number of stealthers I have to face now has risen by 400%. They always disappear when you guys have no str bonus and they always reappear when you do. It's bloody annoying.
