Join the Uthgard 8vs8 event

For all Player on the Server, at Friday evening 04.06.2010 20:00 CET. (Central European Time = GMT +1)

I'like to encourage all players that prefer this playstyle come and join.

Zone for this event, Jamtland Mountains

TIME: Get your groups ready at the startingpoints (see below) around 19:30 (don't want this ends up like a DR with an hour delay ... :s )

Starting Points
----------------

For Midgard: Outside Svasud Faste, near horse merchant.
For Hibernia: HTK @ Odins Gate.
For Albion: ATK @ Odins Gate.

Rules
------

Some decent players in each group of each realm will be needed to ensure that we keep this a 8vs8 fight and it doesn't end up as a zerg fest. So plz I beg the high RR players that sometimes QQ(not ment as an insult) about zergs, keep your guild members & realm members in line.

Now for the rules themselves,

1) Stay whitin the zone of Odins gate & Jamtland mountains, to ensure that you may find an inc sooner then late or never, it may be less tactic, but keep those tactics for an other time.

2) OFC no ADDING, so refrain from tailing other groups from your realm or running along side them, it can only lead to 'accidental' adding.

3) It seems some people are for it an other are against, 3way may happen, but try sticking to 8vs8, cause the last adding realm mostly has
an easy kill time with the 2 other groups partially beaten already.

But most of all do keep in mind that in this 8vs8 event prior should be FUN!!

Kind regards,
Arnius

Why would you host a 8v8 event in what is already known as the unofficial 1vs1 zone?

Should the solo community just sit by while they get zerged, or perhaps organize a massive leech counter-event?

Why would a zerg event in that zone not be a problem while in fact you should be more afraid of a zerg than a 8v8 orientated FG as a soloer?

And the zerg event is not a problem because....?

Nymeros plz keep this on topic, if you do not want to join FINE, but don't spoil this topic with your unneccary side jumps.

And to all other forum flamers & spammers plz if you don't want to join the event or don't like the 8vs8 playstyle go make your own topic but don't dump your 'opions' in this one.

I'm willing to discuss time, place & etc. but only if its for improving number of 8vs8 groups and/or faster battle pace.

Keep game style discussion out this post and go make your own!

Not really sure how leeching would in any way *counter* a zerg event, but ok. ^^

The Zerg event is the worst idea ever, but should the response be destroying an already weak solo community?


Edit: I just saw now that the recommendation is that the groups fight in Jamtland, that is... tolerable I think, but I doubt it would work out.

1) The event will start at 20:00 CET but not all groups per realm may rush out to Jamtland at the same time, the first 2 groups that were there gets to go out first, after death they go back to the end of the que and the second load of groups may go.

Sounds a bit dodgy to me - for an 8v8 event i'd rather just have group vs groups and no que system, almost sounds like rp farming tournament.

arnius wrote:2) The fighting zone is Jamtland due it being simmalir in distance to all 3 realms so Hibs & Albs I beg you not to start fighting @ Odins gate.
Just ignore each other till you get at Jamtland mountains.

again, this seems dodgy and rather unrealistic, but could be possible as albs/hibs do run different routes (unless albs run road)

arnius wrote:3)No adding ofc, fights will be 8vs8 only, even if Hibs & Mids are fighing, a rushing in Alb group may not add, they have to search for an other 8man group. (thats why per realm 2 groups head out per turn)

i dunno, most groups will jump on a 3way - it's a fun part of daoc, the 3 party aspect of fights

arnius wrote:4)When you encounter an 8man group that is still busy rezzing or buffing you may kill them, it may seem brutal but it unsures that all groups in all realms get a chance at 8vs8 battle.

people got 7day bans before for waiting for others to rez, so don't think that this is an option

arnius wrote:5)Refrain from /rude /laugh & other emotes this is not needed and can only lead to heated tempers and perhaps into zergs, what we all don't want.

people shouldn't get offended by emotes

with some fine tuning it could work, but i fear it won't with the current uthgard community... fingers crossed.

Well if this happens im sure me guild would be up for joining it - Arnius you are mid/alb mate? we from hib.

dunno if we manage to get a group up that can compete that day, but if we manage we would gladly join.

maybe the gm's could close theyr eyes for the dodgy parts of the event for one day, as it could be a nice event.

Edit:
Some questions:
If i get this right a group can stay in the zone until they get defeatet? So it would be possible for one grp beeing the first and stay until the end?
Would lead to grps hiding until all RA's are up again, making waiting time for grps on the list longer.

How you plan to send in the new grps?
They have to start from svasud/theyr pk?

And what about if one grp wins theyr 8vs8 quick, locates another 8vs8, so they are allowed stand beside it and watch and kill the winning grp as soon as the fight is over?

I like your input Neju, not sure from which realm you are but if you could spread the word on it would already unsure some will come, furthermore a forum master seems to have to split up this post, let us constructive people go to the other post & let Nymeros and Zarkor & others fight out their battles here.

Well it might be on the brink of set up RP farming but its not really over the line. Its more for ensuring that people don't end up zerging and/or start playing like d-bags.

Hey I was just trying to provide a counter for Nymeros's insta-whine.
