We have changed the access to Darkness Falls and adopted the system of the liveservers. The calculation is as follows:

Each keep gives 3 points, each tower 1 point. Overall there are 14 points. The realm that has most of the points has exclusive access to Darkness Falls. If 2 realms have an equal amount of points both of them have access. Darkness Falls can't be open for all 3 realms, except the case that no keep is claimed (what can only happen after events). Each realm has to fight for it's access and can't hope for lucky access any longer.

A realm loses the Access to Darkness Falls, if it has not had the highest amount of points for more than 15 minutes. If it reclaims keeps/towers within these 15 minutes, the timer halts. The timer starts as soon as a realm no longer has the highest amount of points or an equal amount with another realm controlling many keeps/towers.


Example:

1. Alb 6, Mid 6, Hib 2
=> Alb and Mid have access to DF
2. Mid claims one of Albion's towers
=> Alb 5, Mid 7, Hib 2 => Close-timer for Albion starts
3. Alb reclaims the tower
=> Alb 6, Mid 6, Hib 2 => Close-timer for Albion halts
4. Alb claims a keep of Mid
=> Alb 9, Mid 3, Hib 2 => Close-timer for Midgard starts
5. 15min are over, Alb still controls the keeps/towers
=> Midgard loses it's access to DF

With /realm you can check the current access.

When 2 realms have access to Darkness Falls, will /realm report both realms?

DF is not a RvR zone in the sense that you are fighting like in a bg. Its more a farming and raid zone. To get access it has to be fighted for. Currently we work to get DF more live like. Most of DF items are salvagable for correct amounts and seal droprates will be livelike very soon.

If a realm owns DF exclusively its a bit more secure (less chance to encounter realm opponents) to farm there.
