it's called OVERTHINKING. Blue, anything on a timer is a bad idea, if person lds or some other factor that we can't even think of right now prevent player from getting bonus - you will hear it here and it won't be pretty. There are so many combinations and permutations that can go wrong, if keep is under attack because some stealther keeps shooting at doors, or new enemy showed up and killed defenders, maybe different realm or maybe new defenders showed up at some point or who knows what.

make it simple, the simpler - the better. each kill give some percentage bonus to defenders. give some bonus right away, you can come up with something that is fair, some simple formula. again, making it on a timer - complex, many chances of not working properly, plus, i would assume you need to keep track of the counts and so on which means server has to store, recalculate etc.

simple, Blue, make it simple.

now that i said it: we lding now daily. coincidence or it is just me?

The devs want to reward the winner, whoever took or defended the keep. But on the other hand, if your group is defending the keep, kills 5 attackers of the 30 there, but you die in the end. Sure you got the RPs for the 5 kills but in the scheme of things still probably felt pointless. What if when you released, you were rewarded, say half or a third of the normal pool as an "honorable death" reward. One of the problems I see IS people logging/jumping/suiciding to avoid giving the enemy RPs. If you got some bonus RP for defending, maybe those people would stay in the keep to the bitter end.

I stay to the bitter end every time, not because I think we'll win, not because I think we're gonna hold you off. But because eventually... enough of you will get scared to charge in when that door flies open, even if it's only 5 of us inside. Because the first one or two of you through that door are going to die.

I'll see you on the battlefield friend. /salute

Albs raided Surs .. round about 1 fgm inside inner tower.
While albs were hacking inner gate 1-2 fgm showed up. Albs managed to wipe em and finished the Surs raid.

Before the raidbonus was ditributed to Albs, another 3 fgm showed up and broke through outer gate.
Albs were able to wipe those mids too and chased the surviving enemies across Pennine.

I stayed back and started to repair the outer gate.

And I got this

It's a pool of rps divided amongst who are left.
