A agree with Jack on this one

for me the perfect system would be:

mid 20s BG
mid 30s BG
start 40s BG
end 40s BG

This would imo be the best solution and still force people into PvE for some levels

Honestly, I don't think people need a lower BG.
It's possible (read: Easy) to level a char to 30 in just a couple of days, if you can't handle the PvE at all, there's plenty of PvE-less servers out there.
And the PvE can be fun as well, if you want to.
Just go level in spots you've never gone before, you'll always find something new.

Trust me you're not getting to 30 within a few days if you're a casual player. (I'm talking 2-3 hours a day) You'll have a hard time for a few days getting just to 20 which USED to be the level where u could finally enjoy your hard work, nowadays you need DOUBLE the time u spent on getting 20 since u need 30+ to be able to do smth NOT regarding PvE or crafting.

Especially players who are new to the servers are going to want to test what RvR is like here, the sooner they have the opportunity, the sooner they will be more satisfied about their character.

It's possible to get 35 in 4 days if you play non-stop, but in NO WAY it's easy, that's pure bullshit.

Now don't get me wrong I'm not against PvE, I actually enjoy finding players and building grps that work, but seriously after 20 levels I really feel you deserve a break, and I'm not* the only one who thinks that.

*edit: added "not"

again, agreeing with zarkor, espacially this part:

Red wanna say: I am a change in a quote

There's this forum I've frequented for years where I recruit people to play from. I made a steam group for it, steam group is up to 70 members.

How many are still here? Like 25. Main reason when I ask why they left? Well (remember most of these people have never played DAoC before), the main complaint was that they couldn't fight at low levels to see if they even like the rvr. Sure it's easy for vets to say "CMON ITS EASY TO GET TO 30, just sit down, grind mindlessly for a few days, suck it up!" But a lot of new people are from the WoW generation. I had a lot of people really interested ("I've always wanted to try DAoC! But never got a chance..) Then followed by "I have to grind to 30 to be able to fight okay?". To them it's an unknown carrot, and low levels might as well just be a free 2 play korean game.

idk, I like the idea of at least a 10-20, or anything to show some new people what its like besides killing beetles for hours.

Hehe thanks Zappo.

Sooo.... how about those new battlegrounds?

A low level bg would be interesting indeed however a lvl50bg would be even more interesting, cause nowadays its hard to get a lvl50 4l2 char into the frontiers (it even has gotten worse since release of OF)
Most groups desire 5L0 as a minimum (this can go up to 6l0), which is quite a lot if you have to go solo from 4l2 to 5l0 with a group char.

So perhaps a bg for lvl50's till they are 4L9 or 5l0 might be a solution.

Welcome to OF.

ps: That will never happen.

Any bg that is too close to level 50 and can give you high RR is destroying big boy RvR. Sometimes i check who is in emain and thid and thidranki has more albs. People delay and use /xp off to NOT go to lvl 50 rvr. The way battlegrounds work now are senseless. Should really have the live system in my opinion...

I agree that there needs to be another BG implemented on this server and they need to fix the level gap of Braemar (20-35 is ridiculous). Although, I don't think BGs should start at level 1...that's a little silly imo; seeing level 1's in BG.

Personally, I think there should be a BG from 10-24, Braemar fixed for 25-35, then leave Wilton and Thidranki alone. Even if they didn't add rps for killing people in the 10-24 bg that'd be fine. The exp gained from kills would be phenomenal; plus it would give new players the chance to get used to the idea of killing other people, and improve on their class. This way they could leave the rp caps for Braemar alone (should they choose not to give rps for 10-24).

After all, what harm could it cause? It would better balance Braemar's level gap and give new players a chance to get used to the idea of rvring (a lot sooner). All in all, I think it would make A LOT of people happy on this server...should a new BG be implemented —as it has been brought up a lot—. OF is finished for the most part, so their hands aren't *as* tied; they should definately consider it.

Split Breamar's lvl in 2! 20-28 and 28-35 and it's OK.No need BG before 20.But a good thing can be a BG lvl 50 RR5L cap ,after Thid.

level 50 BG will never happen

lvl50 bg... rofl

dumbest idea ever
