Uthgard

It's done! We have moved RvR to the New Frontiers zone Agramon and its neighbouring zones. In an attempt to prevent any (further) confusion here is an overview of the changes:

You no longer access the RvR area via channelers or the platforms in the border keeps (Castle Sauvage, Svasud Faste and Druim Ligen). Instead, you now use the named border keeps. Just exit the keep right into the war zone. There you can find a portal stone on the left side of the gate. Right-clicking it opens the war map where you can select a destination. After you have done this you click the Teleport button to go there.

This means you will always be able to reach your teleport keep. If your realm owns its home keep and the corresponding towers you will be able to teleport there, too. If a realm also owns an enemy home keep and the corresponding towers they will even be able to teleport there! The only requirement for a successful teleport is that no keep in the chain is under siege.

The RvR area consists of Agramon and some parts of Hadrian's Wall, Odin's Gate and Emain Macha. Each realm has its home keep and a teleport keep in its home zone. The teleport keeps are: Caer Berkstaed (Albion), Nottmoor Faste (Midgard) and Dun Crimthain (Hibernia). These keeps cannot be claimed by the enemy because they are thought as last point to fall back to in case of enemy attacks. There you will find all important NPCs and merchants.
Each realm also has a home keep. These are: Caer Benowyc (Albion), Bledmeer Faste (Midgard) and Dun Crauchon (Hibernia). Those keeps can be claimed by the enemy realms. If you capture the home keep or the corresponding towers of an enemy realm you will receive bonuses.

The new bonus system doesn't have any experience bonuses for battlegrounds and the RvR area. We realized that these bonuses resulted in a lack of interest in the realm-internal zones. This was accompanied by a common believe that only RvR areas provided good experience for levelling. Often when levelling players were killed by enemy realms in an unfair fight they got frustrated and logged out. So, we have removed the old zone bonus for Emain Macha and replaced it by a general experience bonus for levels 47+. This bonus (like all other level specific bonuses) is effective globally. Here you can find an overview of the new bonus system.

Next, there won't be any custom-made level spots like the ones we used to have in Emain Macha. All zones now have their original mob spawns. However, this does not mean that there are no spots at all.
We have decided to change this in combination with the changed bonus system. Our goal is to raise the interest in normal mob spawns in the realm-internal zones - especially in the dragon zones.

The access to Darkness Falls will still be controlled by keeps and towers. A keep is worth three points, a tower just one point. The realm which has most of the points has exclusive access to Darkness Falls. If two realms have the same amount of points the access will be split as before.

If you are killed in a battle you can /release to your border keep. Another change takes effect when you enter the game in the New Frontiers zones: You will re-enter the game at the same location where you logged out. You will no longer be teleported back to your border keep automatically!

In the future we will add more features to our RvR so stay tuned.

Good luck and many kills in the new zones!

PS: We apologize for any inconveniences (lords, teleports) that you might have had last night. The zones should now work without errors.

Good job !!!

Very nice changes!

The bonus changes suck. Having no exp bonus at all sucks. I was OK with Uth being slower than live, but now it's just ridiculous. At 39, I gain 0.3 bubs in half an hour killing orange swamp devourers in Wilton. 2 days to gain one lvl is a nightmare. What the hell? At least bring back exp bonus in RvR zones or you'll lose players no doubt...

~_~

Personalyl I think the xp bonus is O.K (very nice change), and as they said there was a lack into the BGs. You have to work to gain your level, that's all...And this also encourage to xp OUTSIDE of those stupid BG. Nobody were xping at the homeland, now that's possible, and I enjoy it really(and as they gonna implement the new horse system in few) this is gonna be amazing, if they lose player.. this will be filled out with new.. and this will not affect 50er, so only a few minority like you that only well to xp faster for no real reasons, take an x10xp server if you wish a faster server -_-.

Now we have the possibility to xp somewhere without people leaving if we get farmed in BGs. For my opinion you guy might think a bit before to write such comments. I also love the new keep system.

What homeland would that be? There were plenty of Mids exping outside of our BGs - probably more than in the BGs. And I don't even understand why players should be forced to exp in the "homelands" - if people don't want to, why should they have to? And it does affect 50's too, you think ppl don't ever make alts? Besides, I wouldn't call everyone under 50 a minority in the first place...also, what do you mean I want to exp faster for no real reason? I have other things to do, I don't want to spend ridiculous amounts of time exping, I already made it to 50 on this server, deleted and rerolled. It's not my fault you grp seemingly retarded ppl who leave because they get farmed in BGs - in Mid most ppl just move to another zone, not abandon all hope and /qtd.

I think you're the one who needs to do some thinking...actually, I don't think you should do any thinking or posting at all, come to think of it.

An eye for an eye.

Everyone has better to do but oupps.. that's the game... you don't like it so seek for something else, and if you find it such dull, don't know why you reroll except for AT. I hope.

By the way, I'll not give my time to someone that doesn't take 1 min to think what he's witting at all. So yell if you want to do it, this will not come back that easy as some love the new changes and follow the way classic go.

Thank you for the great comments. I'm always searching for people to put people down. Will just not re answer and not gonna read this topic back. Doesn't deserve the worth.

And sorry to tell you that we aren't forced to play homeland btw cause the xp bonus is for everywhere.

since when is whining an olypic sport?
