Why bother??

There I was crafting away at cornwall this morning when I got a pm from Finnith (Rigante), " power relic gates down to 40% Max can you help m8 " " sure " I replied.

Setting forth to Snow fort would surely give time for more peeps to join our cg, I wrongly thought.

On arriving one other had joined us, Dying also from Rigante, no time to sit and ponder why,we had a job to do,seeing the response we just had for help, if the hibs attacked again we would be in trouble:(.

The 1st repair quickly gobbled up the heartwood we had all brought en route,the subsequent repairs using drywood relinquishing me of nearly all my crafting funds and stripping Finnith and Dying of both their personal cash, big thx to Civy for donating 1.5 plat to:).

Whilst repairing the doors I couldn`t help but to think why are we trying for the other power relics?, when we cannot even be bothered to protect the one we have?.

Angering me was not the amount of time it takes to repair doors etc,hell no, it comes with the job,and one I do with an enormous amount of Realm pride, but why! was there 2 tanks and a cleric there protecting something that bears no signifance whatsoever to 2 of them,and since the nerf, hardly anything to the other?.

If you was on this morning and was overlooked by us,in our haste to secure Merlins Staff and would have liked to help,plz feel free to make a donation thus reimbursing the 4 of us to the tune of the 5 plat+ it cost us to help our caster/casters try and be the worlds no.1 (oops getting cynical).

Alternatively if you was a representive of one of the guilds we pm`ed without reply,an explanation (plz, no my brother who is german/my 6 month old baby/my pet was playing my account at that time excuses) as to what was more beneficial than helping your realm,would surely make very interesting reading;).

If it makes you feel any better I think its the same for all realms. When you need lots of people to get rp, er, I mean defend the relics you get a turnout.

Being a caster, quite naturally I've mastered the art of making people disapear at a word. The magic words I use are:

/as Wood teams needed for door repair. PM for CG invite

I can make most of a realm vanish in seconds :D

Like yourself though, there are always a few people who knuckle down to it and put out their own hard earned and time while everyone else just reaps the benefit and gets on with farming each other for RP in Emain.

I know how good T30 normally are with such occasions Sko, they were very involved with the retakes etc, we were organising last night:).

Pesky 2 fg`s of mids camping excal road were hampering us though.

But hey, we tried,but trying to pull peeps of the magical, I am teh best, forget my realm I need rp`s, stone circle, when we are 3 keeps down ( this was at a time when the relic raid had failed).

Left yet again a very bitter taste in my mouth, surely they could read the dm`s as we was battling in vain to try and free our frontier of the enemy now camping,and making a night of it :uhoh:.

Hardly surprising really we nearly lost the relic :(.

I think Roo we could learn much from the commitment of your realm,when you start to lose your keeps,you appear and defend:)/salute.

Plus, look how well they are upgraded etc.

I would basically guarantee when alarm bells go ringing in Mid gard,the majority go forth and defend,and if discovering early morning that your str relic gates were at 40%,even though nearly 200 peeps were OL more than 4 would be involved in the repairs!

Aye, I agree with you there :D



Maxgirth, Why Bother?
Because your efforts are appreciated by a good number of Albs.
Not all will express their gratitude, but you and the chaps who helped you get my respect.

Thx GP,I dont know if you craft or not bud?,if you do you will understand my anger as to spending most of my crafting funds
to the tune of 2.6 plat,which will now take 2-3 days to replace
(if we have DF).

P.S. I try to be self funding as I belong to a small guild,and don`t want to put a drain on their resources,I do however drop some hints on /as and get quite a few items for salvaging;).

what happened to you is no different to any other realm imho..

we can scream over /as 5 fg`s of hibs entering odin`s and maybe a dozen people will turn up... ofcourse when there finally at the relic keep then they will come.. soon as the invaders are dead... they shoot off to emain again... forget the 2 or 3 people left behind to try repair the doors.. happened to me many times..

crafting in bledmeer when it gets attacked by 2-3 fg`s of hibs blowing 250g on wood.. btw this is another guilds keep which they didnt bother to turn up and defend themself :/ ofcourse did i get "MY" 250g back ? nope

long ago, i gave up the idea that everyone should pay up.

Its their game, after all.

What i do, though, is to accept the donations made and be happy about that.
Besides, it gives you the warm, fuzzy feeling of total waste when you repair a door to 100% :)

And an even more fuzzier feeling when there is a server reset the next day.
