Just a thought to the no-add soloing gang.
I have nothing but respect for you and the way you play, and thanks for allowing me to give you a nice supply of basically free rps (most of the time). As you can see I need the practice.
Now to the point. You guys are serious about how you play. You value honour and friendship over all that realm versus realm stuff. That kind of confuses a lot of people as you know. What I don't get is that you do the soloing thing right beside zergy areas like bridges and towers and so you clash all the time with those who clearly don't get what it is your doing.
Why don't you nominate a narrow zone in each realm where you would like to play like this? Make it sufficiently far away from the zergs to enable yourselves to have a bit more peace.
I know Gahn tried the solo zone. It failed because there seemed to be too few people there. But the list was quite restricted (some would say not restricted enough).
Perhaps the best thing to do is openly state that you will go to this or that zone? Say from
a) in Alb the South of the Peninne mountains in a narrow strip to Bold.
b) in Mid East of Blendrake Guardtower past the ruins North to Glenlock
c) in Hib from Behn Spire across to nGed
Stick to the narrow strips of land and roam in there - most of the casual players don't really go there and you will get more space to play. The problem of camping beside the main bridges is your proximity to the casual players.
If it upsets you so much when they add what happens and if your playstyle is something to be proud of why don't you arrange a more suitable spot?
Of course there will be adders and small groups that will go there to grief you. But the chances are if you do this you will be able to reduce the likelihood of this happening. Hopefully you will not have as many incidents as you do currently and we can say that there is a good soloing culture on the server? If you have 3 and only 3 then the griefers will have to work for their rps and it might make it less likely to happen?
Just a thought. It seems silly to me that a lot of you expect everyone else to change when you don't even make a positive effort to establish your own space.
I would encourage you guys to make an open statement and let people know about it so that they can come - even if they are casual. Then encourage more to try out what your doing....
