When RvR finally dies, I shall dance on it's corpse.

People might have to do better stuff than hangin around in daoc and zerging the other realms

There were 700 people online. So better stuff like what, doing tajendi?

being semi afk
wishing happy holidays to friends
small solo pve stuff once in a while every 5th minute?

that is what i've done last couple of days

Is it so hard to believe people are xping?

Honestly? If there wasn't a RR cap on the BGs I would have stayed in there with my 33 merc but nooooo. Hibs and mids gotta suck so much and give me rps.

But yeah srsly, couldn't get a group one day on my alb chars, made a hib alt. Got a group at lvl 5, loled. While the relics were convenient, I absolutely detest playing mid.

No... no it's not, not at all in fact.

nixian, u cant blame holidays only when nearby 800 players are online and just 3-4 fgs roam in emain..its nice how u try to defend the staff, but as a member of a community that has maybe a better connection to nayru and blue than others have u should hardly start to persuade them of changing atleast the stupid port timers, since they mostly ruin emain... in bgs u release to your porterkeeps, why isnt it like this in emain or other zones? why dont we just get channelers? WHY DONT YOU WAKE UP????

Midgard still have 4 minute Timer at Svasud Faste, like i said in irc some days ago. But wait, you won't listen to me and laughed

seems another problem for rvr atm are high rr groups of every realm... they farm pugs of other realms hard without really chances so they wont return too often and log off/pve then -> so not many rvr

also so very very true but its not always high RR people

even low RR people playing really really good can have this effect on people


how to change it? no idea how



@Bloodwyne
never
port timers are there to ensure a fair and equal travel time to emain and can't be reduced unless hib gets a faster way to emain (and the same goes for mid/alb to their zones)

Increase rvr population, there aren´t other solution. And here we back to first problem, how increase rvr population?

well in order to found out we would have to ask the players who instead of going to rvr makes a new toon or who goes to pve farm or whatever

question could be simple:

what would make you go rvr?


see what people answers and well.. do it :p

Answer is very easy. For farm rps, win, win, win, win, win and win. And i forgot, rps must be very fast, if player will wait 10 min he will log too.

And my personal answer is: People want play counter-strike with swords and magic. Only want farm rps like robots, and not for enjoy.

Well you would need to organize giant zergs even at the late and early hours,
so not only the perfect setup 8man grps would be involved in the action, the small grps and maybe long time not used chars like wizzards would be welcome in such zergs. If your realm builds up a zerg the oponent realm has no other opinions than log off or make a zerg too. I would first try a counter zerg.

Yeah, organizing zergs is the answer.
