Im just asking. One thing was for sure i was laughing irl when i saw the numbers you brought to take back the keeps.
As Zapsi said "Albs bring more ppl to take back keeps then hibs got online"

It's not unusual to see 150+ Mids taking their keeps back ;)

well... never been on the alb side so cant say if thats true or not.. Just tougth it was a bit of overkill. And it kinda remove the chances you have of getting the least fun. From both sides.

Last night Berks patrol reported of 69 enemies in the area and about 15mins later 30+ Mids attacked Beno. You need large force to take keeps back if there is about 100 defenders (no, there wasn't that many defenders in any keep).

ye only ran into the 69 force once.. they owned the 4fgs we were running with then didnt see them again we brought so many albs cos of the death spam numbers 100+ in total u took beno and renaris and eras and seemed like a RR :)

Oh well guys, please don't ask why 130 albs come taking back their keeps when you do the same (100 mids retaking a keep EL took together with Seven with 3 fg ...).

And yes, I also share this experience despite i have /effects none, no names displayed etc. that I just see MIDS INC in the chat and then..30 seconds freeze or ar least 1 fps. And with a PC with 512 Megs Ram, 1200 Athlon and Geforce 4 Ti4200 it should not be that way, though it is not the latest hardware...

Wasnt DAOC built for large fights with 200 enemies, epic battles etc....oh well...I just stop dreaming.

That was a keep with a Corpse Summoner however, but personally I dont think people should whine about realms taking their OWN keeps back with big numbers

tis true, been on a few keep takes in mid and you guys just patiently sit outside the keep, slowly bolstering your forces until you have 100+ this has happened about 3 times to me now.

Not a whine, top respect to the mids for constantly being able to pull together such a large and effective retake force. Even if we do get saturated with GTAoE :D

Snotfor, ive also been getting nasty spikes and l/d for the last few days but i think its more due to the msblast worm them the patch as its effecting stuff outside the game.

Btw if this is correct about 157 albs taking thier keeps back, can we expect to see small groups out in thier frontier more or did everyone just head to emain after?

To be honest...

If you would get guardspam of around 70 albs at one keep and additional 30-40 albs at another keep, wouldn't you gather a huge force to counterfight those intruders and get back those keeps as soon as possible?

Many players defending their frontiers, nothing wrong to see here imho.

Im quite sure i wouldent gather a huge force to take them back.. but then again im quite lazy :)
And been playing it for way to long and way to much to put that kinda effort into it.

the funny thing was that it wasent planned, not to be that scary.

3 min before 2nd door fell on renaris we saw that beno fell. Alredy then the diskussion in the cg sounded like : Ahh well now the albies think we are on a rr against em :)

So I think many of us wasent relly suprised about ure numbers. We was alot fewer once u got to us to retake, many had logged very soon after take, our hope stood to a quick CS spawn... that didnt happen :)

Iam to lazy aswell i wait till they pull guards at relic keep then log on my sm :)
For me the most boring thing in this game is retaking keeps with defenders special large forces. Come back when they have left and do it.

personally dont uderstand peeps who come when relic keep is under attack.
its alott easier get keeps back in good time, when spend running in emain cheking time by time if RR is going.
same time those 20 other from same realm trry desperately work in own froniter so they dont get all keeps, spending hours and hours in that work.
those logged in RR come defense and log immediatly again away, leaving boring job to other.

several time been retaking own keeps back in jamtland when there is 170 lvl 50 mids and jamtland is only 20.

is it really best let albs take all keeps before react? dont think so.
if react immediatly and crush resistance in good time, they start think before come again our backyard, if we just xp bots up in spindel, run around emain/hadrian, only seeing our keeps is taked, we see that every day soon.
soon our only good defense in keeps are lvl 10 Jarls like early this day in renaris.
thx to all those copple mids who was there, had good time whit you, hate when need go work :)
