It has the right ideas. Anyone denying that either isn't interested in MMOs or is a moron.

Can it deliver? That remains to be seen.

It will be fun..BUT, I do not like the idea that 1 pimp player can defend a keep against many. I do like seige, but I don't like a seige golem that can play at close range for the rich. I just want full on combat..no gimmicks.



They address this in the video. The "Realms" are going to have to starve the keeps of resources which cannot be upgraded/repaired without them. It is fairly easy to get the doors down when they are not repaired. Resources have to be protected along the way to the keep as they are being delivered through the normal routes (I really like that idea instead of having players carry them a la DAoC also because that should prompt some constant side skirmishes to protect resources).

So far as the Seige Golem, I got the idea that it is very expensive to build resource wise.

I hear they plan on making 3 pvp servers. Anddred, Moredred, and Newdred.

The supply resource system is actually one of the cooler new features they have put into the RVR formula IMO.

This.


Also, buying and hauling wood to repair keep doors was a major PITA, but also motivated folks to take DF for bestest gold farming to buy wood to repair keep doors. I remember I started Armor crafting so I could repair doors. Sheesh that was a long time ago.

I think the idea of supply is to make it less about spending gold and more about holding territory. Which is a good change IMO.

Knowing only the little expressed in this thread, I am ok with the general supply idea. It sounds like you might have standard wagon train type convoys that all sides could raid and/or defend, sort of an expansion of DAoC's individual frontier quests but made open and continuous.
