why didnt any mid post a thread like this when ppl were whining about the /who 50-100 mids in emain preNF
Actually Mids did do that. It's just hard to remember now, eh?

And the albs reacted... how?

It was 9 out of 10 times that if Ailinne wasnt ours; it was Bad Omen, or Bulle Af Fetstryk. I know this shit since I had to run past Ailinne to get speed. They even took it to level 10 so there was ZERO chance for a solo'er to get past. It had no function except annoy Hibs so they would get out. Oh and the bonus above the relics (be it STR, be it PWR).

That was 'hey be happy you got stuff to fight' and 'surely hibs will come out; so we can farm' em Bad-Omen (Blesj). We all know what kinda bullshit that all was; except "you who didnt have that shit day after day".

Same can be said about taking Bled lastnight (I wasnt there btw!). It serves no purpose; except a small bonus for Hibs (taking a keep = a bonus) and for me personally its enough to annoy Mids to take a keep. Its the best pay-back I can wish for. Not that I care really; think Legacy already released the claim on Bled and its now a level 1 keep; hell 1fg could take it down now.



Same could be said about the Mids taking a Hib keep everytime in OF. Never heard u about that.

I agree and find it stupid then and now, but I allways found keeps stupid so guess iam in wrong game now.

Hmm it also gave a bonus to rps per kill (+11% in fact, not a small bonus at all) as well as damage. Which is the main benefit from an rvr guilds point of view, and it made more sense to take a hib keep than a alb one since hib one was less likely to be retaken sooner.. meaning you would have that bonus for a nice long time.

I know when PE claimed scathaig it was for the rp and dmg bonuses, we couldn't care less if hibs came out more or less cos of it...

We killed mids mainly, most days saw maybe one fg of hibs (ec alliance grp) they came out regardless of keeps. Who cares if one less hib stealther made it to emain or not

Well tbh I find it quite intresting that mids can now be considered a bit like the "underdogs" in rvr. So if the fights are going on in mid.. It brings spice to the game; spice that sure as hell wasnt there in the end of OF.

I enjoy rvr alot more now than in OF. :)

Still funny hearing all those stories bout aod zerging when I haven't seen em zerg even once. When I joined their group we ran into other albs at mg's and keeps etc, which you could expect. And I prefered without the adds.
So maybe just my bad luck running with them whenever in 1fg, tho I never saw any screenies etc apart from one with some stealth adds, which you should blame the stealthers for rather than the fg.
Any mid fg comes with halfa fg+ hunters/sb's aswell, surely they don't like it any better than I do? :eek:

Dont bother wit it mate. Since Daoc started everyone started chewing that gum about alb zerg. I guess because what was happening on most servers. After 3 years things have changed back and forward many times with all 3 realms zerging on opportunity. Is just some people never stoped chewing that 3 years old gum. Especialy on prydwen that the populations are relatevelly low on all realms, its a small server.
Nevertheless what happens now in Prydwen is that the realm that claimed it was underpopulated found the perfcet excusse to zerg and is called NF. All those that yelled that they dont like zerg, showed their real face after NF. Ofc they never spit that gum and still claim ablion is the zerging realm, and call their zerging appetite and behaviour as "Organization and Coordination". Well is hard to hide way 3 years of depression.
Ones again Daoc tend to remind me of real life.

so, hib arent underpopulated because they can make a zerg :confused:
what happened last weekend shows hibs underpopulation, and that albs are capable of zerging. being battered constantly all weekend by albs attacking behnn, when albs are attacking another keep in mid at the same time.
problem with hib is that nearly whole population has to go to defend a keep, because the attacking force is pretty much always higher number than defender. hibs are sticking together, because if we dont, we'll get steamrolled.
and im not saying i like zergs. i dont like to go near keep takes with my bard or eld unless i really need to.

Looking at the bonuses section within /rw there many reasons to take additional keeps imo.

Show screens :eek:

Aod did nothing but add back when we had a nice guild grp running most evenings and PE's pre NF setup was running every day too. Had the best fights vs PE, kudos to them - best time in daoc since 1.65 - and AoD added tons every evening. Wtf is the point of screens tho every guild add sometimes, getting screens doesn't do anything.

Scath wasn't a problem, it didn't stop us getting to Emain. When DA and Bolg were constantly claimed it was obvious that Most hibs just gave up on RvR for the night or went Odin's or HW, because it just wasn't worth the run to emain to be farmed IF you even got that far.

Surely it's better to have the bonus and a few Hibbies to farm with the mids rather than the bonus and only mids to farm?

You know, all the 'Yeh, but this happened all the time in OF' is all fine and dandy, but that didn't actually affect the game much one way or another.

Player numbers in Midgard are dropping steeply, and there's less people RvRing all the time. Hell, there's less people ingame in total. It's a good day when we have more than 300 people on in primetime. THAT worries me a lot more than those stupid relics.

didnt affect the game? maybe not for u as hunter, u could just port emain and got instantly action, bet u didnt read a single of puppets posts, he sum it all up very clearly. BO/maelstrom/BaF taking DA, bolg etc. all the time also made it hard for fgs to get to emain.

and u can even get 300 ppl in primetime, hibs have to be lucky to get 200, just b4 NF, was maybe max 150 on at primetime :)

Yes, 200% agreed. That's something that our GM should have understand and analyzed instead of telling us to adapt to NF - relics lost aren't a problem, the problem was that only 50 defended them out of 200-250 mids online.

There can be three reasons behind this:

1 - midgard isn't unite enough;
2 - mids don't care about rvr;
3 - mids have no fun in NF atm.

All these years in Midgard tell me that the first two are false - it's the third answer that alarm me (and should alarm every Prydwen player - see how good look all those small servers in the USA, a dead, abandoned realm kills the other two faster than a strong realm). Alarm me because it means 200+ mids are currently doing BGs and PvE, and I'm not sure that will entertain them till better times.

It didnt actually affect the game much?! Let me tell you ONE thing. There where ALOT of us simply logging when Mids had Ailinne. Yes: They did /re; saw they wouldnt make it to Emain without stealthing/avoiding guards and simply logged. I did that too on a few occassions.

Now compare THAT to the fact Mids only need to go to Glenlock; and sit 20 secs longer in a boat and that's the reason this thread was made mostly. Yes lets compare 20 seconds longer in a boat to stealthing past the Mach5 guards roaming Ailinne in OF easily adding up 5+ mins to the trip to Emain for solo'ers.

300 lol!. The day I see 300 people on Hibernia has been gone for about a year now; if not more.

Hibs were having fun being farmed at dc this morning :)...but the shroom zerg has turned up so I /suicided :( thanks for 15k this morning :p

Didnt have much use of the shrooms, since they got mezzed all the time :(

And what does it matter which of the keeps we take, albs or mids? That keep granted us some more time in DF, which helped out when we were repairing the wall in DC after albs morning-siege. Not like mids are known for leaving anyone alone when they are missing population/keeps/relics, so drop that bs. And you took the keep back quite fast and easy anyways?

Peace out, junkies!

Cant take a defended keep from Albs even with 3 relics so you have to take Bledmeer Faste over night?

We gonna kick you outa there anyways. :twak:

Not quite.

My half-group (well 5) was running around Alb-land with a ram, running to Eras infact to knock on a tower door. Too bad, we tried twice and ran into the Mid gank group patrolling the area (Mael I belive it was) both times.

So, we decided to go elsewhere, afterall, no fun in getting ganked. Ended up going to Mid. I lost my spec str, and said "I need to get rid of this ram, its going on this tower..." and we happend to be by Bled.

The rest unfolded as you know.

I don't see what the fuss is; why would anyone (who is not a stealth char) go to Emain to find a group? Surely they would group up in DL before setting out, and then guard patrols are a minor detail any group can handle. This argument holds no water.
