Recently for Albion I have noticed that we have only had 1 full group out running on a daily basis and that has been the Myth/RDK alliance group. (my group) Plus a few small man groups.

So we have been trying to get some zerg RvR action going for the last couple months on Sundays that in Albion we call Bloody Sunday.
On these days the best we have had is 3 groups.

Just two days ago we did an alliance RvR event and went to Midgard and took Fens and Arvakar and to our surprise we created some real fun action with 4 groups mids and 2 groups albs and yes even 2 groups of hibs. It was a blast.

So since that was such a success look for this to start happening a couple times a week, you will know we are doing it if you see a Keep in Midgard claimed by Myth or RDK. Especially if you see Fens claimed by us.

So we invite everyone to come out and have some fun with us.

but here are the rules.
If albs have 2 groups and mids have 3-4 groups or more and Mids camp the AMG 1 time we will stop. simple as that. we are doing this to create RvR and we will not continue if mids have to camp a mile gate when they out number us 2 to 1.

This goes for Bloody Sunday also, every Sunday for the last 2 months mids have out numbered us and won 90% of the open field fights and then they camp AMG, we will keep coming out and fighting as long as we have a small chance of winning even if we are out numbered but we will not continue if Mids camp the AMG. We like to have fun not be farmed at a mile gate by 2 or 3 times our numbers.

so we hope to keep doing this and creatng some action for everyone just refrain from camping the mile gates.

see you out there

The SHOW TIME Alliance.

While being a sensible thread, I foresee flames incoming

But yes I agree, camping AMG when you just wiped your opponent twice is not only lazy, it's also somewhat dim-witted as the result should be clear to most; the other side logs.
Was that a flame? I really don't mean it as such... just asking people, who has won the last couple of fights, to consider if what they do will encourage their opponent to come out, or discourage.
I understand zerging when a GG has just wiped you 2+ times, but not the above.

Long time no see Drutt!

haha funny stuff

Yea wasnt it.. good old times ;-D

sounds fun...though with 2 grps and mids camping amg you could just go hib frontier ...mids may take a while to realise you're gone and until then you can farm some hibs or some mids that didn't join the zerg (yet)

good to know there's ppl talking rvr-action in their hands ...keep it up!

well yes thats what we did.

all I want to do is help get the rvr action growing and get people to think about what they are doing.

for example this happened to us several times over the last month.

around 6pm cet my group would be the only alb group running and it is a caster grp with a rr11 minstrel, a rr9 cleric, a rr 7 sorc and cabby and usually the rest are rr5 or below. Not your big time high rr grp. we would be in emain roaming get in a fight with a mid grp and holstens grp would add us every fight or we would be fighting holstens grp and get added by another mid group but we would keep going out until 3-5 mid groups would eventuall camp us at apk. And every time we would run out to fight one the other 3-4 groups would zoom in over the hill and add us. till we where forced to log.

Now I don't mind the adding and zerging but if you know there is only 1 group why do it ? There is no way at that time of night we can get another group to help us so all that you accomplish is forcing the one group you have to fight to quit.

this happened 3 times, and believe it or not they would even camp us at the amg before they would camp us at the apk.

Last night we had 1 alb group out and 3+ mid groups zerged us again but we learned our lesson and quit after the first time. So their behavior has forced the one alb group thats out and wants to rvr and have fun to stop.

it just seems silly to me since we are such a low population server and our group is by no means a super elite high rr group plus one of those mid groups had already beaten us 2 out of 3 so I don't understand the need to zerg us down with 3 groups.

The point is that if we want rvr to get better here we all need to think how our behavior effects others and change to help the situation.

As it is right now mids leave us no other option except to stop trying when this happens.

I really wonder why mids are so active in rvr while the other realms have hard times making up 1 grp at all...i really don't understand that...is it the relics, that make ppl play their melees? but then hib should roam with several caster grps

i mean ok, hibs gotta ride to rvr, which is not as comfortable as porting...but for mids and albs its the same...really strange phenomenon...

you've got to remember that when there is no inc, people will scavenge to get what they can. If there are 3 mid groups and 1 alb, you can bet that eventually they will all want a piece of the RP pie regardless of how it forces the 1 group to react.

this is going to happen as long as there is low pop.

aye you are right Borog and I dont mean to complain about what hapens to our 1 group except as an example.

But for the zerg events Mids can at least not camp the mile gates when they have us out numbered and we can all get a piece of the RP pie.

why? if they all ran as 1 grp only they'd get nice fights and would win rather often (and thus gain rp), because the alb grp would have most RAs down all the time (due to perma inc ), so they wouldn't win that often...but at least it would be fun for them...

This is true also, plus since we are a caster group we are very fragile anyway. One mistake by us and any group can beat us.

Tell me when and where in Emain you get zerged yesterday? I think i know which fight you mean and its fact that we fighted 8vs8 and the first Midgroup don´t add but the Second....this was at that moment when already atleast 4 from your group got killed by us.

So you lost this fight anyway doesn´t matter if the other added or not...

But i like what your Guys doing atm...and it looks like it works..so i see many random pugs the last days...

its not about whether we would have won or lost the fight, its the fact that we where having some fun fights with your group and we had lost more than we won and yet we still kept coming back because it was fun and a challenge UNTIL we got zerged. Once mids added us we logged because we know that once they start they wont stop at that time of day.

not complaining they can add and zerg if they choose but since we are the only alb group out the only thing we can do is quit for the night.

Sure thats true....but thats the thing in Midgard...always 2-3 groups roaming and most of them adding in fights...they can but like it is in the moment...you destroy with adding more ... cause and i would do same like you...logging.

But i can unterstand the Mid´s also...they wait for an INC an then they see: Oh they´re fighting already...hum we need RPS...go in ! And thats OK for them... but not for you !

And to your Setup...that was crazy yesterday! But keep on Playing its fun with you guys the last days! Hopefully more Albs and Hibbs are coming soon !
