I'm sorry I haven't been around, I never was any good at multitasking and I've had a lot to do Discovering that I have AS (you know like Einstein) also came as abit of a chock to me. However, as Teslacoil said, I will start playing again, but it'll probably not be to the same extent as before, so it's a good thing if people start organizing alittle.

anyone who use /as to retrieve information that is easy to obtain ingame or using searchtool deserves blue pm spam.
surprisingly few mids can type /help apparently , and with gm's/guilds that have no interest in obeying /as rules it is up to the rest of us to try to make them do it till someone gets the pleasure of kicking them.
might i add to this that reason to obey /as rules is not too avoid helping fellow mids (didnt their guilds tell them bout advisors btw?) , the reason is that /as is a tool and if you misuse you will break it.
on a slightly more positive note i used /as to clear nott other day and had nice amount of mids there , so this talk bout alliance being dead is silly.
main problem seem to be that overall gamebalance make casters so powered by own selfesteem that they wouldnt group for /capped plats , problem with that is that this game cant be won , only played and if you wanna play mmo you need the others to play it too (both friend and foes) , so less soloing with ya fotm caster please , who knows maybe we will fight better also with casters getting heals and stuff and not releasing for rebuff

You have also got to bear in mind when Clustering comes along ...that it isnt just gonna be the MIds that come to the realm ...its also gona be the Albs And Hibs ....and if we carry on as we are in NO Defence then Clustering is not gonna be any use any way .... also who is to say that the relics will be reset?? ...i rember when the NF came out ...it was said that Relics would be reset ...but wasnt ...also when the the patch with regards to How many towers you hold to get DF ...again peeps said RELIC RESET ....but guess what ...IT WASNT!...so im thinking ..maybe they wont do Relic reset ...And to arumos ..i was Working IRL so was unable to attend the RR sorry ...

I cant see why the relics wont be reset, i know some people reckon they may not be but the relic situation on prywden and excalibur is very different so its unfair for pry people to lose/gain relics when the servers are clustered to the exc relic situation. The only solution is to reset servers, to keep the vast majority of 3 realms on 2/clustered servers happy.
Wasnt at the raid myself rl stuff & was prob on pryd 
But another thing thats cought my eye here is the discussions on /as
What people seem to forget about alliances is why we have alliances:
Alliance: the state of being allied or associated, a relationship or connection
The success of a good alliance is when everyone in the alliance get along with each other & also get to know each other better so when the time comes & we need to work together it will be a better atmosphere.
What kind of response do these alliances expect from members when they are asked to help on summit to do with RvR when the day before they were basically told to "stfu" when they asked a simple question in /as when rvr was quiet...im sure this makes them feel part of a good relationship & allied with other guilds in the alliance!
What ive noticed on *some* alliances in mid/exc is theres few people that use it for what its there for, instead they seem to use it more for whining to others & end up doing ALOT more spam than what was originally said by the so called "offender" of the /as
Typical example:
/as hi all, how is everyone ?
mr_im_teh_boss sends: Have you read the rules?
you send: uh?
mr_im_teh_boss sends: Stop spamming /as
& yes this is what has happened a few times & i get warnings by /sends! Tell me, how can an alliance get to know each other & work with each other when they have rules such as this.
One alliance i was in (when i was in RD ) was a great alliance, laid back, no Adolf's & rvr info when needed was given/passed & people used there common sence, if there was keep sieges/RR's or summit else going on rvr orientated then /as was purely used for info... at other times when rvr is quiet...wheres the harm in using it to socialise/ask for help etc?
Im sorry but a few people use /as just because they like to feel in control that gives em an ego trip & i bet they sit there watching the /as chat while crafting away until some poor bugger types summit thats so called against /as rules then the control_freak leaps into action with /sends
Some alliance rules thats on some alliances are strange.

The old alliance you mention old friend was the White Rose one, very laid back and we all made good freinds, did things like arti raids as an alliance and generally got to know each other, but much like the FOM alliance, it died because its main leader left the game, and Ardamel became the new leader of the realm. But I agree totally, the sociable aspect of the game is hindered greatly by the rules, at the end of the day, anyone can turn /as off, and will see any pertinent info in their guild chat, so they wont loose out.
IMO, alliances should be about uniting guilds, for a common goal, be it PvE or RvR, trading or helping each other out with game related issues, all these things go towards making a stronger realm.

to imply that there is a connection betveen not being allowed to spam /as with where can i get a volurgorgon hand and mids general ability to defend is at best silly.
you got guilds/advisors/friendlist/pm/countless urls to solve the first , you got alliance for the second.
to refer to ppl's who abide to rules they themselves agreed to as adolfs and nazies kinda say more about those who are making these references than those they are hinted at.

happy im not in your /as.
there must be quite a few guilds in FoM that are down to mabe 5-6 members prime time and to not be able to ask where do I get th glove for ML7 or can malice be activated as a hammer etc seems contraproductive.

I just read a few post, so if I'm saying anything that allready been said it's just becouse hit has to be said twice
I'ts not Ardamels fault he has a life outside DAoC, big problem in rr/keep takes are: there are no seer's, and leader dont have a clue what they doing, ppl think they get more rp solo and dont think about the RP bonus you get in grp.
I stoped play my healer in rvr couse was no fun to get bolt range mezzed and killed first of all in 0,0001 sec, guess that's why most ppl dont play healer.
BG leaders dont give clear directions on what to do, last keep take BG leader said, charge when we got a hole in the keep, and then NOTHING, someone sat up the ram and for the next 30-40 min NO ONE used it.
I have 2 stealth classes for a reason, my skald never gets a random grp, my RM have had a few grp's, but I dont like standing in svas for 40 min to get killed in 5, Warrior gets nuked to feath before she reasches the caster, so on so on ....
Stealth for the win !

Olvoair said:it sure sound like a fun and friendly place
i would be friendly if you entered discussion with genuine interest , read what i wrote and replied with stuff worth discussing.
if you just want a /hug and get told it ok say that.
one thing i forgot to mention about the /as im in atm is one of the rules you are NOT allowed to ask "LFG" for rvr!?
This is very strange tbh, those in /as are probably looking for peeps to form an rvr grp & im sure theres also alot of peeps LFG in the /as. When i log on i can spend upto an hour trying to find a grp by /sending when it could take miniutes if i was allowed to just say "<class> LFG rvr" in /as.
/as is for rvr info, This is the 1st /as ive ever been in that have such rules. If it was LFG for PvE then fair enough, its not allowed...but RVR? So if there was an RR on us the last thing to worry about is trying to find a grp.. finding grps should be made as easy as possible not hard as possible which some /as's seem to make it.
hib/pryd has a lower population, yet it takes me (usually) less than 5min to find a grp. On mid/exc i usually end up /quit out simply because i cant find a grp to rvr with.
Wheres the harm in people asking for a rvr grp on /as? A simple rule would be your not allowed to ask more than once every 5-10 mins, this will eliminate spam. Stopping ppl from asking altogether is not bright idea tbh.
/em thinks whoever made up these /as rules should take a long hard look @ em & think again
