According to many the amount of people playing on all realms are about equal..

Then why is it that alb and hib "randoms" dont make groups as often as midgard "randoms"?

Last night there was about 3-4 midgard pugs out but like no alb or hib pugs out.

Not flaming or anything, just curious.

ive seen lots of alb and hib groups out atleast a week+ ago.. usually no pugs on alb but often No Stress TI NW Prime and on hib MB Req/pug also some other groups, no idea why it changed again though

my answer is still the same (and serious no flame, not even a joke): because mids have the best do what you want policy in rvr.
Alb and hib have more elitist nicefighter "dont add" grps out that will watch your pug grp fight against a rr11 guildgrp, let your pug grp die, tell you how bad you are and laugh about you... this is no fun for pug player.
While in mid you have some grps like DG, that don't care at all about add and will help you in every fight (ok that was a bit of a joke), and a lot more that at least tolerate it.
The red is dead policy is for most pug players more fun, and way more successful.

you mean using a mid zerg as bait at mmg and let them die so you can pass the hibzerg with your group with SoS? is that the spirit you talk about Holsten?

Guess it became too frustrating to wipe against high rr players. Keep Raiding sometimes build a zerg for zerging and adding purpose. Sometimes they raid keeps.

Actually Hib doesn't have more "nicefighters" than Alb or Midgard. Alb has even more than Hibernia because Hibernia doesn't have that many at all. Guess it also depends on the time. Due to working time I'm just able to login during EU primetime.

Fullgroup-PuGs are rare in Hibernia ... Requiem and MB fills up with players outside the guild sometimes. Sometimes I see more Rinnegati players in a PuG. Well, and there is Keep Raiding, doing their stuff.

There are players who react on keepraids - such as Virus did once when I was on Midgard. There was also a Hib PuG with players I didn't see at all when I'm on Hibernia. But Midgard has more players which do more "classic RvR". I saw much more players on Midgard willing to do keepraids, guardtasks, zerging and so on. I'm not surprised that more players would like to join an active realm instead of an empty one.

Most players reroll their characters anyway to do some hawt Wilton/Thidranki action.

I just login when some guildies or a friend asks me for RvR.

my first week back on the sever we ran a FG average RR was 4 tho lol and the only mid group out was RR8+ sadly every one logged after 4 lost fights, only good thing was is that our group Tried... the 2nd night could only get 6 hibs out and ran into 2 1/2 groups of mids the group insta logged after that.

I normally play around 8pm pst. and Itching to get some RvR in with my Hero/BM/Druid ^^
And i hope soon HIbs will start setting up anti Zerg groups. lol if not I'll roll another toon until for thid

Albs and hibs group should just run together when DG and adding mids are out :p

Mostly true, been saying it for years. Social part of the game sucks in those realms. Difficult for any new player to get an invite for any sort of rvr, get some experience, make friends... Etc. People would rather log then invite randoms or add more and just play.

I really doubt that any of the "nicefighter" groups laugs at pugs dying to high rr grps.
And like I said many times before, I am pretty sure, that your playstyle does harm random rvr a lot. I am not argueing that there are mid pugs who welcome adds, but overall it probably does more harm than good to random rvr. Consider hib and alb pugs who already struggle in rvr and when they actually have a good looking fight chances are, you will just brush over it with you rr11 gank squad.
Think about it this way. If Req and MB in Hib and TI and NW in Albion played red is dead, I am pretty sure that the number of mid pugs would drop rather quickly.
