Excalibur Hibernia Alliance.

Mm

Agree with the last post TBH, the game has changed, you even as a solo can find out what is happening in RVR, all be it delayed and I think that is the main issue.

TBH even with the two main old alliances (HOF entered a little later), originals were CBA and CF, there was issues, and the way around it was through /send. That system still exists and tbh if there is something that needs whole of HIb, pretty soon whole of hib knows..

As for what concerns me more tbh - is the fall in numbers from the larger guilds, is this really happening or are people off doing exams etc? Just it worries me that I can consistently do a /who Celtic Fist or a /who Terra and get a return of 5-6 people on-line.. the rest /anon? or just busy in rl?

The realm needs large guilds - why: Well larger raids are important and the game does sometimes need a HIB army to help sort the balance in RVR (Keeps /Relics etc) I mean and that ... lets face it, is so much easier to organise if you have a guild that is leading it.. who can control the players within the guild - that is what a guild is for, people working for a common good/goal, and to be honest people & their style of play tend to suit a particular guild so they join and make more friends who have same style/way etc.. all a guild does is structure accountability and set guidelines (hence Officer structure & GM'S). Now on a big raid it is so much easier to lead it if you are "only" leading an army of people who are willing to follow your instructions - hence bigger guild = more success at raids (ok not all the time, but it helps).

An alliance just builds on this. But tbh with the tools we have now 95% of RVR issues can be sorted by a guild (cough alliance) that can put 2-3 grps out.

Just my 2 pence worth - btw Ex Gm of DA... who were heavily involved in the original CBH alliance and then moved to the CF alliance and who remain in that alliance.

Oh no, I think it's fotm to hate LA

nah, its more FOTM to release your keep so albs can take it for insta rvr

 

[Chiefthunder]

my 2 cents

Domain, how much both you and me want the old spirit back in /as (meet DL for counterzerg etc) , all good things MUST come to an end. LA left, all those who could lead this treehugger zergy left or got ebayed (saadyst, Jahar and numerous others) so treasure those memories cuz its gone m8, its gone as much as you and me doing early morning rvr runs to amg back in old frontiers...

You can try to get them to talk to eachother again and try to fix it but in the end you will see that its impossible for 'i'm an elitist prick, I won't listen to <name> , he's a jerk, I wont join if he/she runs alliance etc etc....'

let it go m8, hib is dead, rvr is dead, RDRF is broke and half the realm are buffbots , let's group together and run around like old times

lol Odon im guessing the CBA alliance was just a typo yeah? hehehehe

for me i had got fed up with the aspolice, whenever anything was said on the /as (and this included rvr info) you would get screens and screens of people saying stop spam etc. It got silly, you would end up with more "stop spam" spam that actual spam. It should be remembered for the good times not that bad, those times are gone though.

To odon, the times of /who celtic fist having 35+ went along time ago, i think when wow swg etc etc came out the population of the larger guilds dropped and guilds like cbh disappeared totally. Now theres alot of smaller guilds which i think is the way its needed to keep towers/keeps claimed at least until clustering as we have problems claiming with the amount of guilds we have at the minute!

Cf alliance would've been perfect if they had room for Random Roleplayers , coz then they would get used to some /as spam. (joke)
My experience from CF alliance was idle idle idle , some rvr info , idle idle idle , someone saying ANYTHING followed by ASpolice whining that they spam.
Alliances is made to communicate between guilds , and if people cant tolerate abit 'spam' or jokes that they consider childish then it's no point to have it.
Current LA alliance is fine as it is atm (imo) a couple of rvrguilds that know each others and ask can ask for groups /pve help etc and inform if artifacts are spawned.
