The Battle of Renaris

Last night was one of the best keep defence efforts that I have ever been in. Absolutely awesome in fact. So what exactly happened?

Ahhhh! Take a seat, this may take some time... ;)

It all started at around about 9 pm GMT on Tuesday night. Looking for a little bit of action and trying to avoid emain at all costs, a number of middies decided that paying a quick trip to see our friendly neighbours in Albion was in order.

You know the sort of thing.. Knock on the door and see if you can borrow some coffee or sugar or perhaps the lawn mower.

Well we decided that we'd move into the the fabulous Renaris luxury development.. totally illegally of course. So claiming squatters rights we sat to wait for the Baliffs to arrive to kick us out.

Now we had heard that there was a large force of albs in our own back yard, and after disposing of a nice force of Hibbies not once but twice on the way, we ran into some albs near Eras. A quick ganking later we heard reports of a large lemming like effort in our own frontier.

So we were a bit nervous as we approached Renaris. Excpecting the Albion Uber Zerg (AUZ) to dispose of us with all due haste and efficency.

Well it didn't happen, much to our surprise. So we Beat down the doors, turfed out the current landlord and setup shop.

Then we waited.

As it was getting late a number of people suicided or logged, so our numbers began to dwindle. Just as we started to encounter some albs a mass wave of LD's took a number of people offline. Some didn't return.

So it was that the remaining Middies decided to stick it out and see what happened.

We weren't disappointed.

It developed into a fantastic brawl.

The intial defence of the keep was a good battle of Inf's v SB's. Our SB's did a stirling job of keeping the 2 shammies and the frail old Sm alive. By the time the first door was down we had been fighting for a good 15-20 mins. The defence of the second door took a bit longer.

By the time the Second doors came down the middies had retired to the Penthouse apartment where Jarl Renaris was entertaining.

So the nervous middies awaited the onrushing Baliffs.

After a long and heated discussion on the stairs the Baliffs were kicked out. However it left the Middies with just a handful of able bodies. Our 2 shaman went to work.

By the time the Baliffs returned all were on their feet again. Once again a prolonged and heated discussion about squatters rights was held on the stairs. Once again the Baliffs were sent home.

This happened a couple of more times until finally we were kicked out on our rear ends.

The battles were fantastic.. Albs got a number of kills and so did we. Rp all round :)

A huge Grats goes to all the middies that hung around and defended the Keep Lord until the bitter end. It was a pleasure to fight with you.

To our glorious enemy a bigger grats for coming back again and again and again until you finally kicked us out.

To all involved a hearty thanks. It was a fantastic late night battle and one that I hope all enjoyed. ;)

Just before the second door went down the Guardians of Power guild group that I was in suffered a number of LD's. However despite the absence of Danyan the Wonder Battery and Sagba the walking guarding machine we set up shop in the room at the bottom of the tower.

Rumble, fully specced earth wiz, was GTAOEing you guys to pieces till you only had two people left alive. To target them better we moved to the room one floor up.

This is where it went wrong for us. The archers started to target Vae, our cleric. With him being interrupted and unable to heal I had to use my Faith Heal to keep Rumble alive at one point.

Queu a lot of aggro for me: all too quickly the Jarl had killed me, meaning that Rumble was unguarded. Within seconds he also was dead and it was time to /release.

It went a bit crazy after that, Rumble also went LD and a lot of the Alb's just wanted to rush the Lord's room for 'easy' RP's.

In the end Wyleia of T30 did rush you again (while the rest of us were forming up outside following the raid leaders orders) and promptly managed to piss everyone off by claiming we were all idiots. Nice one W, 'cos funnily enough you were one of the people who was continually rushing the Lord's room and giving away free realm points to visiting Mids.

Most boring keep retake i have even been on.. but im sure it was loads of fun for our fellow middies ;) They surely had fun kicking our butts ;)

Problem was, and problem IS in my opinion, that we just hesitate too much in battles

Just gather up, have someone GTAEing the lord room to keep casters down, rush in , Moc+Ae Mezz, or cleric PB mezz, bingo.

Instead we were sitting in the room below getting killed by the Jarl, everyone roaming around bla bla.

boring, i logged as soon as i died to the Jarl

Wonder what middies say tho about our Bledmeer takes :)

Nope, one of the worst keep takes.
Was boring initially, mids just sat inside while we bashed doors and killed guards. Yay.
Once the doors where down it was just "how fast can I go ld" :p

It's too far off to get a big crowd to show up on short notice, if you want response/action then attack and claim fensalir faste ... that will show you who's boss in midgard frontiers ;)

btw, does anyone know how often dc has been in hibs hands, can't say it's often tho .. can't remember it ever belonging to them actually :whip:

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


The lord room that Rumble could NOT get us into.... 2 left alive??
*1* fully specced earth wiz cannot gtaoe that room.. you need 2-3 Turamber... he gtaos and that lord is on his butt interrupting him.. I went up to the lord room twice, first time to master on cocentration Aoemezz (i didnt clear with rumble first so he was gtaoeing, so it messed it up)... Second time (30min later when RA back up) to MOC aoemezz, this time cleared with rumble so he knew not not to ae. Guess what? it worked... i was able to stand ther and yell mezzed mezzed mezzed with the lord room middies looking at me and then the tanks rushed in to finish them off...

So quit with this petty jealously. Nothing was said about you being idiots, something was said about keeping all the mezzbreakers outside, but that wasnt by me... But yes everytime i try that trick usually someone aes or gtaoes.. but this time, since i believe we only had one wiz wit hthe gtaoe spell it went fine. I didnt even die after facing the room of mids.. i had 2hit points... I only died the first time at the lord when we all wiped. The rest of the time i was dead to archers like most others and once to an SB in the first stairway. Died a total of 3 times at renairs (once outside with gates still up to an SB) to enemies. Only twice did i give rps (was rez on one death :p). So STFU.

It worked because you guys picked a good time to attack. Some mids tried holding Renaris the night before(I think), but they started around 3am! I remember being half-conscious and reading the reports.

Also alot of people had connection troubles last night. So... come again and we'll gladly show you the way home :D

Nothing to do with jealousy - but I found the way you and your fellows behaved after the Mids defeat deplorable. You need to learn some manners, maybe you could ask your teachers to add the subject for nexts years 11+?
