got killed
logged off mordred and havn't returned since
was it fun? no... was it a "cool" place? no... was it worth my 30mins? probably since now i knew what mordred was all about.
I don't mean to be insulting so please don't take it the wrong way but going into a highly competitive environment COMPLETELY unprepared and exercising pretty much zero common sense is a sure way to have a poor experience. Wandering around cluelessly in a pvp environment and getting killed is your own fault and not a fault of the community.
Let me ask you this...
Would you take a level 30 Alb character to DC bridge at 8pm on a Saturday night and blame the player base when you got smashed in oh about .034 seconds? Because that's the blue server equivalent of the activities you described. Would you then be justified in saying then you knew what DAoC was all about?
You do realize that on Mordred people got xp for killing other people right? When you go to xp you go to a place where mobs spawn right? Sooo...on a pvp server it stands to reason that you would....goooo....tooo....a place where people go frequently of the level you want to kill?? Perhaps even a place where they might just stand there for you? Or maybe an EXTREMELY high traffic area like Cotswold (probably the highest traffic and most dangerous place on the server).
If you had taken the time to learn about the highly competitive environment you were entering you might not have gotten steamrolled right out of the gate. You could have joined an anti-pk guild before ever even leaving a main city. You could have gone to where they were xping with high level players guarding and helping them. You could have gotten to know them, making allies, leveled up and then been one to help others in the same way they helped you. You could have learned how to survive and make the most out of a true sandbox environment.
I understand, that unfortunately for players like me, that most of you really do want a nice easy time with very little challenge for the most part. Then when your completely ready and in the mood to actually be challenged a little bit in certain areas and that's fine, no problemo.
But it does chap my a$$ when you then post in a way that makes YOUR lack of effort, preparedness, and common sense put forth seem to be an insult and the fault of the true pvp players who actually showed up with a plan and a little testicular fortitude.
It chaps me because it gives the pvp environment, which has so much to offer in being truly dynamic, a bad name and many people didn't even give it a shot or went in with a preconceived notion of how bad it was going to be just because of ridiculous unfair posts like yours.
I have to laugh when, daily, someone says in /region, /gu, or /as "man I'm so bored there's nothing to do" as they stand around scratching their arse in the middle of this HUGE game world, x3 on Mordred, and where somehow...you couldn't seem to find an xp spot
(other than Cotswold....). People who disdain a game world that isn't boring, simple, and unchallenging because they were just too damn lazy to ever learn what potential it had.
Mythic gave you all an environment that YOU made the rules in, you made the laws, and you controlled the community and you failed due to laziness and weakness.
All you people that complain about being bored on the blue servers make no sense, this is what you asked for. You turned your nose up and a truly dynamic world filled with politics and challenge.
AH f it, I might as well be talking to a brick wall.....
