So, I had been in Thidranki a few times during the day today and I left for an hour to eat dinner. I came back on and logged there to finish fixing up the doors. I log in at the pk and figure the keep is under siege and run down to find an Albion Keep. Now I had not seen any message but admittedly had been out of game for an hour or so. I see three Albs; Kosko, Wickedpets, Systa xping at arachites so I assume they took the keep to get the xp bonus. Still I was puzzled having been on much of the day with no keep take message and only the small window I was offline. I checked the Herald and no keep take notification. I have a feeling that if I were able to take the keep right this minute there would be a notification, so I'm curious was the keep taken legitimately or did someone force flip it with some kind of dev tool? Someone explain this to me please.

Rarely do staff members intervene with Keep or Relic status'. If a capture is performed it's for debugging purposes. The outpost will always be placed back into the current Realm's possession and there will be broadcast spam in-game.

Thidranki Faste has been captured by Albion as of 1.5 hours prior to this post. No, this was not staff intervention.

Hey,
thanks for your email! I have been "offline" for some time and started again checking the herald.
Unfortunately, I can not get the information about Thidranki. Somehow the official herald on uthgard.net is not exporting that data.
Therefore I can not fix that :(

Cheers,
Marco



May be there is a link between the no message when the keep is take and the fact there is no update on the Herald ?

Hope this will help.

That was us, I was on the Friar (Systa), we did take the keep for the XP bonus as there aren't enough warm bodies to take frontier keeps, rvr... or do much else these days NA primetime.
