Is Cale dead? I reckon about 75% of my time there is spent looking for someone to fight.

I saw the announcement of yet more BGs coming in Frontiers and you have to ask will there be anyone to fill em? I may be wrong but if they are ghost towns just now will there be any players to fill all the new ones?

Feel free to post yer thoughts folks:) :cheers:

You have to remember that bg's are generally used by alts of people who already have level 50's. I dunno about the rest of you, but with my first character I went to bg1 because I was told to but once I was there I had no idea what to do, where to go and I couldnt' even tell the difference between a mid and a hib so I only went once. Didn't even bother with bg3 since I just wanted to be lvl 50 :p But on the whole I think people with their first characters probably don't fully understand how vital those rp's can be for buying passives, mcl etc. to help with levelling.
That said, the majority of those people are currently taking their mains thru the horror of ToA, although it does seem to be coming to some kind of an end now. People are slowly getting stuff done, getting templates completed and coming back to rvr, so I guess the bg's will get busier soon. Bg1 never got quiet, its a nice escape from the ToA grind, but bg3 alts got put on the shelf for a while so people could concentrate on their artis and ML's.

I'm hoping the new bgs dont end up like Caledonia (which sometimes is great fun) or the more extreme Abermenai where no one EVER goes (well, apart from a Firbolg I found there about 4 months ago, sure he was lost though).

I did hear that the new bgs will give you 8x the current exp for killing an enemy and are designed to be an alternative method of levelling. Hopefully that will encourage people to go. :)

I know I would rather kill Albs and Hibs with my Bronze Training Sword than repeatedly twak the same mob over and over.

Will be interesting to hear the conversations in the first battleground:

'How are you specced?'

'1 sword, 1 stealth, 1 venom ...' Hehe

Well i for sure will go check the 1-4 bg sometimes. no real classes, no pets, no specc spells, no critmoves, no megabuffed geeks (well is 4 grey bases megabuffed?), just pure combat. And equipment wont cost that much either ;)
And if i then want reall classes and such to fool around with i would go bg 5-9, so i really hope there will b ppl there

i think it would be nice for the 40-44 BG coz people have more spells etc and generally better fights coz of more hits, better weapons and so on ^^

lvl 1 Bg will be so fun ^^
will they change some of the specs in the first five lvls so rvr will be a bit easier?

lvl 1-4 BG is a bit daft tbh, i seriously doubt many players will bother.

May as well go play a fps instead.

They should nerf hib magicians actually cause we are the only one getting a root spell at lvl 3 and as far as I know with the Necro snare it's the only CC in the game...So mids start your whining as you got no CC spell at lvl 1-4...QQ :p
