Ive been trying to think of some different ideas to help the steep leveling grind, while also promoting RvR.

Adding gigantic amounts of xp for keep captures might be one way to help bring more action out into the frontiers while also helping some of the casual players level up faster. The keeps can give more XP the closer they get to relic keeps/border keeps as well.


Imagine level 43 player spends 2 hours soloing maybe get .5 of a bubble.
Imagine level 43 player spends 2 hours with a zerg force trying to take a keep, get 1k rps and 2 bubbles of XP at 43.


This is a no brainer solution to help the population, esp you faithful NA population who really enjoys this server.

I love this idea !

More ppl in RvR zone, more action, epic keep fights.

This might be something for the OWTGXP section.

How exactly did this not fit into the general discussion category just out of curiosity?

OPs idea is "another way to gain xp" in short: OWTGXP

These threads are off-topic since its a discussion to brainstorm ideas between players.
Having these in the general section could lead to members of the community to thinking this is something we (the staff) will consider for Uthgard.

Usually the staff is pretty good about coming to a thread and out right saying no, and locking the thread. So again you moving this and tagging it seems more like a rug sweep maneuver maybe to shoo the potential of other players more easily seeing it and agreeing with the idea.



Here is a better question, how low is the population going to get before the uthgard staff decides to make changes that might interest players to play here instead of elsewhere? I know the 1.65 or else stance is pretty thick, but i mean technically keeps didn't give realm points in 1.65 so there's that.



Edit: I might not frequent these forums much but also you're wrong on your assumption on players brainstorming between each other. If someone post an idea in the general forum its probably to help the staff with ideas to brainstorm about together with other staff members. Players discussing and brainstorming is simply a by product of that original intent.

Well as the OP, i was thinking keep captures giving quest levels of XP gains would be a perfect way to enhance multiple issues on multiple fronts.

This bonus obviously wouldn't benefit already level 50 characters.
During some play times (NA for example) it can be really hard for new players or transferred characters to find groups to effectively gain experience at an enjoyable and productive pace. Capturing keeps for massive experience fits pretty well into one of the uthgard staff's original intent with crafting bonuses for keep crafting.
It will help give players a dangerous yet extremely rewarding option when trying to level their characters.


I'm open to discuss any alterations or other ideas that would fit this model.

You can already capture the crafting keeps for rewards. Quest works the same as the bg. We had the feature since day 1

Im talking about every keep capture giving massive xp to anyone in the area of the keep, massive xp similar to how much xp you get from a quest turn in, not talking about any current bonus quest that give XP for keep taking.

Hey staff, can we do this please... just make keep takes reward crazy xp... same for guards. RVR is slowing down and avg players online is creeping down, could use a bump.
