Septima said:Even tho i don't like "late nights relics raids" i don't think this is the cause of the dropping of the population. Other variables as game age, new games, no advertising of the game are the principal factors imo.
Albion during OF had 0 relics during long periods (excalibur server that is), but they kept playing and it was not prejudicial to fg scene or RvR scene in general.
I can understand how frustating it's for Hibs or Mids when a primetime raid relic is overwritten by a "AC raid" the next night but people should look at what they accomplished and be proud of it and not whine on what the others did.
Relics never changed hands that many times than in NF, it's a new era and players need to adapt.
My 2cents.
Interesting post this one. I played Alb at the time that Albion did not care about keeps or relics etc. Albion in those days had a massive player population but many were in elite type RvR guilds which just wanted 8v8 action and so it was difficult to muster a credible RR force.
Hib and Mid however appeared a lot more organised.
For my 2 cents, the problem isn't AC RR's per say, it's Alb doing it. With the overwhelming numbers they can seem to call upon, and the apparent willingness to AC relics in the first place, us Hibs have two choices:
1) Try prime time and get farmed
2) Get them back AC
Neither are that appealing to me, we just either waste time and effort RP power levelling the next cohort of fire wizzies and sorcs, or if we take them AC, we lose any perceived moral high ground, and the Albs take them back again AC anyway.
So what do people do?
Nice thought process Rox, but I am afraid that it would never happen, not due to population and all those arguments, but just to human nature and the demographics of the playing population the game has at the moment.
