lol most of the people who post here nolonger play camlann....so even if you *changed* us, it would make no difference.
you say all this bullshit about "played 1 year and almost as long as amildin so that 1 week dont make much difference" (as if to say amildin has been playing 1 week more than you!) camlann has been open longer than 1 year, i've been a member for 2 years+, your statements are complete rubbish.
stop making a fool of yourself, what makes you think anyone will listen to you if you dont even have the balls to post what your character is.

tbh what do you want?
You want honour and peace between people unless some kind of duel is initiated? Dream on, the majority of camlann are kids. In the old days they were kept down by better more mature players yet now they have left its the kids time to shine apparently.
You said earlier you want the distribution of rps to change, eg. if you are in a fg you get 0 rps for killing a soloer. This will never ever happen, afaik to do this would need a change in the code of the game, and goa has no rights to do that. It wouldnt stop fgs killing soloers anyway, you think they do it just for the rps? They do it because they are bored and there is no one else to kill. Fgs have always killed soloers, but there has always been more than 1 pvp zone before and usually more than 1 fg out, meaning the fg chaining can be avoided or will be more interested in finding other fgs than killing you.

Im not too smart with the whole coding deal, but imo this sounds near impossible or would have a lot of faults. What kind of timer would you have on killing the second person? Would it have to be a completely solo kill (no damage from any other source)? It would also hardly benefit many people at all. And the only way to save camlann is to appeal to the majority not the few.
XenX said:
how many people actually chain greys for the fun of it? I can only think of 1 or 2 in my whole time on camlann, maybe a couple of others who have been 1 timers on camlann and just go there to relieve stress. And what about the people that enjoy leveling on purples/level 50s, a good lvl 30ish group can kill most solo 50s np and a couple of duos, its also great fun providing a new experience from rvr servers and is very good xp (about 1 blb a pop at lvl 30-34).

This is the only sensible suggestion, and it has been suggested by many a player before you. Yet nothing was ever done about it when camlann was still considered a decent server so the likeliness of it happening now is very slim.
You cannot save camlann with a couple of small rule changes, and any community agreed changes (ie. some kind of honour system) will never work because people in general are bastards. The only way to jump start camlann would be with a very large unique change (ie. Old emain and pvp free toa zone, which once again will never happen). People at the moment have no reason to roll camlann, its underpopulated, hard work to level on with a very little reward. And as the pop goes down the reward gets smaller, leaving you with a catch 22.

Wow, somebody with some brains.
I've played Camlann on and off for 2 years (Hell, I played when it was 600-700 people) and it became my main server for a while.
Then everything that was posted here happened.
Repeated:
"Lol, someone makes a decent point and third post in some idiot starts flaming, really does sum up Camlamn."
And I use to love it here =\

Actually it is quite funny to see some new age camlann players (that is not an insult) that are blaming guilds like The Dominion for the current situation and make up some reasons for camlann´s downfall although they have no idea.
Well, got the point. Ofc, the mentioned reasons above are just plain stupid. Anyway, for this discussion it has no reason to talk about how the community was, IF its about the community, its about the community how it exists now. The community how it was in earlier times is gone, is a thing of the past, and will never be that way again. So why speak about it? Why mention it?Shintari said:
Its about how to attract people to play again on camlann and this has, in my opinion, nothing to do with the community how it was and also not how it is now.
The way i see it: A Community is basically formed by their ruleset. Ofc, other circumstances are playing a role as well, but a less important one. Thats how a partnership of convenience works. U would have exactly the same situation on Avalon, for example, if u would give the server the same ruleset as on Camlann. I wouldnt be surprised to find a place even more inscrutable. So far about Community.
Little changes like immunity timers and pvp free zones will show no effect, the server exists already too long to restore the tattered reputation of Camlann that way. The only way to let the server live up again, very good input of amildin, is to give camlann a very large unique change. And this, i'm dreadfully sorry, wont ever happen.
To arrive at a conclusion: u can completely forget about Camlann.

im not gonna argue any more but i would like to reitterate one thing AGAIN..
i have been playing on camlann as my MAIN SERVER for about a year.. in other words i quit playing other server to play camlann solely...
I HAVE NOT BEEN PLAYING CAMLANN FOR ONLY A YEAR!!!
iv said it twice i wont say it again
*edit* i do however still think a few small changes would help.. and i dont think the rp thing would be very hard to instigate.. as they have already added % damage shares of the rp distribution amongst players, adding how many people are involved in any one fight cant be that difficult... However you are right it will prolly never happen.. its just me thinking about what i beleive will help.. and tbh i dont particularly care if you agree with me or not.
you could at least add your own opinions without slating mine! at least i can be bothered to try!!

camlann has always been pretty lame yes.. but you guys seem to think its no worse than its ever been it IS worse than its ever been.
but thats not the point.. this thing never had anything to do with what camlann was like before goth or what it was like the first week it was opened
who cares.. the point is its getting worse NOW.. and i mean in the last 2-3 weeks.. not years ago!

a) You make completely irrelevant points
b) You have no solution to present except outragous ones that involve goa
c) What do you want from this? Pop to be 1000 again? Just arent that many people playing daoc atm to get that kinda pop from nowhere.
d) The point we are trying to make about talking about years ago is that camlann has been dying for a long time, not just in the last 2-3 weeks, but it obviously took you a little longer to realise that...
