Well i will keep this short and sweet.
But be warned this is not a Mids are lame, Albs are zerglings thread we have enough of those.
Facts i have seen as beeing the truth.
1) Prime time raids are fun, challenging, the need coordination, tactics and everyone has the oprtunity to live a grand scale battle.
2) Prime time raids only benefit the largest in population Realm as they will allways have the largest population online in prime time houres.
3) Prime time raids tend to happen very rearly thus causing the Relic situation to become stale, and especially after some failed RR's by the lesser in population realms, things never change, giving the realm with the larger population the benefit of choosing who has what relics.
4) Prime time RR's where the more populated realm takes part, because of obvious GoA's el cheepo machines, will cause Excalibur to crush, this enhances even more the stale situation of Relic ownership, adding the fact that the game becomes unplayable by those that don't give a shit about Relics in the first place.
5) DAoC as developed by Mythic is becoming a game that will be about large scale battles, sieges etc etc. i am afraid that DAoC that is hosted by GoA in Europe will become totaly unplayable for a large period of time when the new RvR expansion becomes live.
So by these observations, that i challenge anyone to prove wrong, prime time raids although fun, they are something that people should avoid because in reality they only benefit the largest in population realm and things just become stale and boring not to mention that servers crush making the game unplayable for all.
In the end better for them to change hands randomly 2 or 3 times a month, or even more, it just gives an oportunity for the small in population realms to taste what the other realms have, sure it will not be often and it will not last long but as litle as it might be it's better than nothing.
