I'm saying that I couldn't care less what little trivial conspiracy you think Gheris is fronting, pathetic as it is considering you have some delusional panic that he pays $13/mo. just to do all he can to ruin the way you play the game.


So while you're putting some serious strain on that poor artery poking out of your forehead trying to determine how to derail Gheris rep further, I'm gonna go back to enjoying playing DAOC the way I like.


It's unfortunate that you have this grand concept that your RP-count makes you a 'better player' than those who choose not to RvR constantly, but that's your deal. I think we both know, however, that if you were so ultimately concerned about competition, you would have deleted and rolled a hib/mid long ago.


So, honestly, in the end, you really have no excuse, bro. Have fun.

His goals in this game, as I have seen them, are to ruin

Gheris has derailed his own rep. I used to respect him, now I have none.

Experience in rvr does. RPS are a pretty good indicator of rvr experience. People who play together a lot and work well together ARE BETTER PLAYERS.

I can't stand pve. I have tried a lot of times to reroll on other servers and I always end up quitting. Pve might be your thing but it definitely isn't mine.

if you knew anything about what hib morale was like before gheris did that stunt....EVERYONE was fed up with having 100+ albs in emain, and there only being 1 or 2 grups of hibs in emain, then a few stealthers. EVERYONE was sick of albs constantly having 10x the numbers, and taking 80 people to attack or defend cruach or crim. gheris's move simply put it over the top, so yes, everyone who left, did leave because of that.


I had to chuckle 3vi.


Its funny that both ends of the spectrum yield the same results.


A lot of older albs on lancelot are also demoralized by the overpopulation we suffer.

One day the majority of Albs in RvR keep defense / offense will stop walking speedless in a line behind a leader broadcasting like his Caps Lock key is stuck.


Heh. Who am I kidding? Bring on the next Overlord!


Someone should start a poll. Who will it be? Inquiring minds want to know!

Cyce:


(Not going to quote the strategy thing)


This is the exact same thing we did to Mid when they had the strength relics at the time.


Got them used to the idea of the guild running in Mid taking keeps. Got to the point where they were so used to what we were doing, they stopped coming out to play.


And so when the scheduled relic raid happened, it started off with 3 keeps down from the previous day. And so the relics went to Albion.


I have got absolutely nothing against your strategy, I would have done the exact same thing under the circumstances, and I applaud you for it and for getting the job done.


This changes nothing, though, as per my disdain of seeing people approve one strategy when it is done by Hibs, and using all sorts of excuses as to why when Albion did the exact same thing, that is STILL wrong. Anything from the numeric advantage (give me 200 RR 7-8 over 500 RR 2-3 anyday, the RR 7-8 will roll the RR 2-3).


As for Gheris, all the trashing is really uncalled for imho. Right decision, wrong decision, it's a done deal. Gheris deserves tons of credit for stuff he did. Trying to unite Albion under one banner isn't exactly easy. And he managed to do a decent job of it.


As far as myths in the game go, please add yet another myth that needs to be clarified, namely "Albs can defend their power relics because you have the numbers advantage". In case you didnt get it by now, Myrddyn, unlike the Hib and the Mid power relic keeps, is not defensible unless you park 100 defenders there, online, which people simply do not do. Albion could have 5 times the number of Hibs and Mids combined and still not get there in time when it is hit. And Im talking instant suicide upon the first warning, releasing to guildhouse, taking the Snowdonia teleporter and running there at speed 5, just to discover the relic has already left the building.

" Seriously, playing a cleric sucks, all you do is heal."


I kind of think keeping the group alive is kinda fun. I was playing my cleric last night till we ended up with a group with no speed and 2 clerics, so I logged my sorc on.


Funny the difference in the two groups. When my cleric is on, I measure success v LA in how many minutes we survive. With my sorc, I count the seconds.


Seriously, whatever happened to the cat? Did it get the bacon?

yeah chanster after frontiers alb will finally have a chance to hold power relics... omg i cant wait to have all 3... /drools!

All I can do is reiterate what was said here earlier. The night that Gheris decided to break the spirit of Hib for daring to touch our precious relic keep was the night I lost a lot of respect for him. Yes he’s a strong leader, but he didn’t think clearly about what that would do to the morale of the server. And no, this isn’t “war”, these aren’t our “hated enemies”, these are other people sitting at computers just like we are. People we are friends with, even. So why make them so disheartened they never want to play against us anymore? Where’s the fun in that?


Which brings me to my next point. Tharfawdle, I always respected your dedication to the realm, your almost fanatical drive to take and hold our keeps. However, what you said about dueling was totally over the line. You insulted a lot of good people by what you said, me included.


“it's problem and needs adressing. hence the lazy leeching duelists. They not only leech off their realmates, they also cause lag in heavy trafficed areas”.


As I said to your guildmate who sought me out to reprimand me for 'cross-realming' at the duels one night, we choose to duel in very out-of-the-way areas, but you may not know this if you’ve never attended a duel. And exactly how do you consider a 1 vs 1 fight “leeching”? It’s simply the idea of an 8 vs 8 pared down, pitting one worthy opponent against another, to test their mettle. How is that less honorable than a FG jumping a soloer in Emain? Mythic chose not to favor us with an organized arena to duel in, so we make our own. And as Velkar quoted,


“Bashing folks for playing the game how they want to play it, is extremely stupid. People play for different reasons, just let them play and keep your nose out of it.” - Tharfawdle
