Can we cap keep RPs or make them diminish over time or they can "con grey" if you are above RR3?
We need to encourage more people to actually roam and fight instead of having empty frontiers with people killing Xpers and taking keeps for RPs We could even do 2x pvp RPs for kills instead so there's some incentive. Or make the BG a 3x rp zone. Something. Make people want to fight other people |

No. |

Bad idea for Alb: the only way they are able to do rps, its by breaking wood. They fly away when they see some hibs or mids You want to kill Alb We are here to help *you*

+1 for no keep rps.

You will potential have even less players on the server now as take away those rps, there is no reason for them to go out.
Its too far gone for that now Wakefield 50 Rej Cleric

it's always that same retarted old drum about how if there are no keep rps, half the players won't come out. Jee i wonder how people did back in 1.65 when there wasn't keep rps. Maybe they went out to actually fight other players. Lol |

With 57 players on as I type this, don't think this server could afford to lose any more players.
Maybe if it was done at 300-500 people, yea but now? Too far gone down the pan for any sort of change to be honest Wakefield 50 Rej Cleric

Seriously? The population on live was in the 1000s on multiple servers during 1.65. That's how it was "done" Stop beating a dead horse as said above. |

Why isn't those sort of numbers here then? I liked it before the keeps for rps thing, still took keeps, but people came out to defend/attack so it was worth it. Wakefield 50 Rej Cleric

Yes, cause no group of players ever quit Uthgard in disgust for another server after realizing how fat on RPS you can get by dodging & PVE Zerging Keepdoors.
Contrary to what some want to preach, KeepTakes don't actually draw action. You can take any keep with the exception of Alb lvl10 claimed keeps and not see a single soul come out to defend. They are perfectly content to let you have your pve rps and take the keep back when you're not there to defend it. Either by showing up when you sleep, or by showing up with 30 ppl, 3 ramming each door and take the keep before you even see flames on the herald. One could argue that flaming Hib keeps draws more action, but i would say that even though it is more likely to pull hibs, you would see similar results, depending on what time of the day it is (NA Hib crowd a fair bit more interested in RVR than the EU crowd) and depending on whether or not the guild that claimed it has a player online at the time. Concrete example: Last night a group of maybe 12-15 hibs tops took all the keeps, took the albs relics, with very little defense from the albs, according to the death logs. Albs were perfectly content to just let the hibs have their fun in their corner last night. Today, noon, Hibs are getting all their keeps zerged again and the relics re-taken without any defense. You tell me. How much action do keeps draw exactly? I mean i've been playing the server, you can't tell me keep rps create action. they really do just the opposite. The only incentive to take keeps should be to: 1. threaten the relics. 2. accrue %bonus damage. It is *never* too late to do the right thing. |

Look at the number of posts offering improvements to increase the number of players. Look at the number of entries in the issue tracker that has been waiting for answers for months... or even years... Still there should be someone here capable of doing something...

YOu can severely limit the amount so albs don't run away any time they could potentially lose |

Those numbers were here with a queue to log in. Many ppl decided they wanted 1.65 with QOL changes to lessen the grind and speed up movement etc. I've only been back a few weeks so I'm going to assume you are still playing. So I'd like to ask you .... When albs have all the keeps how many albs do you see roaming the frontiers looking for a fight? My experience is only sneak classes who are generally holed up in a keep hoping for some inc. There are a few exceptions I'l been killed by Vanquish and Drastic while I was roaming solo in Alb land. So my point of view is if albs aren't roaming when they have the benefit of all the hasteners at each keep and places to retreat to if they find they are out numbered. They won't roam if you remove the keep rps. |

I know the numbers were here, I was in a queue many a time.
And they all left, leaving the hardcorest of the hardcore left. I occasional log on to pay rent and see if I recognise anyone from the days when server actually had life. Wakefield 50 Rej Cleric
