Today's radar experience.....I was out on the frontier with a level 37 character....no more than 5 minutes I was pk'd by two 50 level Mids.So I ported to a very different location.I wasen't there more than 2 minutes......same duo showd up and killed me again.Yes I reported the one doing the killing....for what ever good that will do.



Running to kill Greys(my level was 13 BELOW a 50).... within minutes of the time I appear....sounds like some need more hours flipping burgers at Mc Donalds.



35 is the point where you start conning to a 50. In PvP, everyone is yellow con (unless they're grey). So as far as they could tell, unless they checked your name on the herald, you were a 50.

If you think for a moment.. wouldn't they prefer to kill something that's actually worth RPs if they have that all mighty ever present RADAR(tm) ?!

Anyway.. I was killing mobs in Snowdonia at the cyrh (always forget their names).. and my level 41 got killed by an RR12 hunter with 8+ of his stealther buddies... MUST BE RADAR! /sarcasm

if they had radar, they'd have seen you were so much lower of a level and wouldnt of bothered.

its more likely just someone running a loop and you being in high traffic/popular areas..

because radar doesnt realy work anymore.

buff bots may have damaged the game some, and there an easy solution.

but with cross realming... are you realy talking about cross realming (people from your realm telling the enemy were to find you) or having the ability to move between realms...

because they are not the same thing... cross realming is bad, and theres absolutely no way of mythic fixing it as people can use means outside of mythics control to communicate information to the other realms.

being able to change realms is not bad, there should be a short timer(15minute) so people can change mid fight and effect the outcome of a keep siege...
but its not like anyone actualy sieges the keeps anymore anyways, so kinda moot point there.

1)The simple fact is....the very essence of what the game was designed to be...a realm vs realm conflict was destroyed by the games creators when they allowed cross realming.
2)and now I'm supposed to believe that an enemy in a land he has undoubtedly played in,who sees a player fighting low level npc's in a lowby area has no idea of the players level ? That's what you expect some to believe? Of course I know what can and will happen when I go to the frontier or the bg's.(I have been paying DAOC on and off for 6 years with countless 50's, btw).I still have no respect for players who get off on their 1 second kill thrills.No respect AT ALL.Which means nothing to those who play the way they do.

Cross realm play is a reality because people created characters in all 3 realms on many different servers. You can't ask them to play only 1 of these realms because they have invested alot of time into all of their characters. There are a limited number of places where people exp now. If you have played all 3 realms, you know where they are. I have always done exp in the frontiers, but there are alot more people playing in off hours than ever before. You will get ganked, get used to it.
