Ah yeah, Kimball.... that was the name. Me and Dars (I was on my skald, dars on the thane I believe) would battle it out with them in Yggdra all the time. Was some fun fights and was normally 2on2 with Dars and I winning (yes, before bots it was that long ago) almost all of the fights. Of course, them coming the same way and time everyday didn't help their cause much.


Yggdra was such an awesome place to fight because even though you were in the enemy's land it was a place that not many mids will hang at, so you could hit and run for awhile and anyone you beat had to come back from Hugginfell.


Yeah nugs was the pwn... I think.

Best was running all the way to Odins after killing Ardrus in Yggdra and rekilling him at Hib Mile gate.


This game would be so much better with Old Frontier.

I'd like OF Midgard, OF Hib (Emain FTW). Then add in some of the good elements of the keep fights (but keep the old courtyards, those fights were so wickekd) and fix Alb land and that would have been near perfect. The thing about OF was when rvr was dry you'd still get fairly quick action at mpk or apk. When emain was hot, you'd get amg and mmg battles. And when Emain was balanced you'd get fights all over the place. You could go days without a keep fight and it would be fine because it made the keep fights a bit more interesting since they were more rare. Also, running from place to place in OF was actually kinda fun because you could just random run into fights, running around in NF is almost non existent because all of the fights are at keeps and there is so much porting. They actually went too far with NF.


Frontier design really isn't all that complex and Mythic has nailed it with some of the BGs.


Simple: Start with realm safety area, then semi safe realm area with a quick bottleneck that is slightly beneficial to the other realm, middle clear area that acts like a hub leading to the other realms sections and throw in some narrow paths to keeps. Finish, or repeat FTW.

This was probably already talked about but I think it was on Halloween or something that everyone dressed up like Retal. Him always dying first and foremost was pretty much priceless also.. especially when a paly's rez overide the 100% ones

I agree with Blough that they went too far with NF.


They should make a free expansion that is frontiers part 2. They bring back some of the good parts of OF(portal keeps and being able to run around insted of porting) and keep some NF stuff. That or put the island to better use than just connection between the parts of the frontiers. Maybe turn it into a enterance to a new frontier dungeon? Or put a keep there that gives some sort of bonus to the realm.

Camping DL on igive was by far the most fun i've ever had in any game.


Hi everyone!

Camping BKs was great. Always action there hehe.

The BK's were a blast. It would take forever to get there but you would always find some snacks along the way. Long run = stlthr's running unstlth'd. Croc ring and Porting hosed straggler hunters.

Speaking of BK camping, I'm reminded of the time a Unity group tried to escape the zerg fighting around Emain by going to DL and Garek promptly took his entire zerg back to DL to roll us. Nothing more fun than your PC locking up and turning around to see 40 Hibs coming BACK to DL to kill 8 Albs.


Some of my first good RvR experiences were joining some pugs led by Malvegil that ran out to camp Yggdra gates. Mids would actually come out to fight us after we killed the lowbies that were always there exploiting the undead camp.


Then there was the fun of taking a few people to Dodens to try to kill some expers and checking around the zone in for Spira's gray nightshade bot. Even if we didn't find Mids, killing Dodens or whatever she called it made the trip worth it.
