Dear Midgard players

Stop taking every damn keep while everyone sane sleeps.

Thank you,
All of sleeping Hibernia (& Possibly Albion too)

Lol. Few weeks back mids literally had the same problem when the hibs had all relics und would take the keeps whenever the europeans were fast asleep

maybe you mean months?

Well my main point was: stop crying and let them take keeps when they feel like it

Dismiss concern with your comments if you wish.

These actions are killing morale of other realms and leaves a sense, that it's worthless to go into rvr as everything we do is undone while we sleep every night.

Telling the enemy to not take keeps can't be the solution.

So how about a solution is found - maybe tougher guards or more elite guards when there is no population to respond to the keeps being taken over and over by a bored but overly dominant force.

Spymistress only reason to have the keeps is to get hastener speed and to get DF.
Now with end pot with charges, just use some extra when you run around.
keeps is not needed.

Relic guards ;p For the relics we fought for (again)

Sounds like hardcore communism to me. You want a government like authority to endlessly provide you with what you think is balance at all times, that's not how the world works. In any area of life, the more you level out the playing field the bigger the difference is between people, because those who are more competent, driven or dedicated will always rise to the top. It's quite normal for relics to change hands, for certain realms to be more active at certain periods of the year during certain time of the day, so what? It's a form of mental illness to be wanting to regulate things so everything is always "balanced" and the same.

I'm not saying it takes competence to take keeps, just population and lack of population in enemy ranks. But really, it's so idiotic and narrow-minded to try and regulate this so someone's feelings wouldn't be hurt. If someone quits the game because other realm is more populated, I think not being able to deal with that in a computer game might be the least of that person's obviously deeper mental problems and we should certainly not cater to such people. The fact that there is a dynamic and that sometimes you're the underdog is what makes the game interesting.

Hibs had relics for months and if they were retaken, they'd be quickly taken back. Especially on this patch level, hibs having power relics is quite devastating, I didn't see much crying from other realms. What kind of a shallow individual wants to prevent people from taking keeps just because they themselves are sleeping and can't defend them. It's an old game, we don't have 3k people online all day and night long so it's better to get used to it and take the game for what it is.

It's really too fast and too easy to take a keep/relic. I don't understand why we can now put 3 rams on the same door.
Keep / relic Guard yellow and blue ? this seems ridiculous.

I know NA players have only this to do RPs, but this is a Pvp game, not "taking keep simulator".

But that just my opinion.

stupid idea : Why not adjust the keep strength in % of the total population online ?

It is getting ridiculous. Soon you tell us we have to go naked rvr. (we do sometimes )

A few months ago, when hib still had all the relics, the group around Moudjo was constantly raiding all Keeps in Midgard and we had exactly the same problem.

At this time, not a single Mid cryed about this because it's a part of playing on a server where many players from different time zones are playing.

This is Kindergarten here.

Another thing i like to mention, I can't understand why the GMs are annoyed with something like fires on the map. Instead, you should rather strive for real improvements so that the server gets more players again. But no, the Romus on this Server mean the GMs have to give them their private passion. Think a little bit bigger than that. If more is going on in the rvr, you can raid your bunch of keeps with 30 men without beeing disturbt or killed by 8 or 16 people.

Thinks i like to see on Uthgard:
- Working SI (This should be the best way to counter the other server)
- Healer in Svasud (housing still has enough to offer)
- Make all crafters in housing available (and in return give the capital cities a small craft bonus, so players can decide what they wanna do but not forced to port every time)
- Make at least 3 ports available, for midgard my suggestion would be from gotar to svasud & mularn, from mularn to gotar & svasud and from svasud to mularn & gotar, similiar ports in hib and alb. Nice to have could be housing port too but no must have. Would cut the travel times very well i think.
- Some crafting improvements like recharge noncrafted items as alchemist, apply bonus on crafted items etc.
- do some work on bossmobs like evern, i dont know how it is with df bosses (legion, worm etc.) never tried on utgard since im playing, but if they need fixes, fix them. Just to bring more content to this old game. It's not that hard i think.
- bring horses back into game (maybe via quest or something, brings content and cuts traveltime)
- there are so many useless named mobs ingame, why not let them drop rog items??
I have so much ideas left.. but..

Also I think exp and rp bonus is good enough now, maybe a little bit to good. But i dont care, i know that leveling in daoc was always a ****** and can life with it. Had also no problem with the old settings.

Who defines 'sane'? You?
Who defines when others have to play? You?
Who defines when what keeps have to be taken? You?

Simple put: DAoC is an MMORPG, which is 24/7 available in a consistent world, means, when you 'save' your game and 'log off', the games goes on, they don't stop because of you went offline and took your sleep at a for you 'sane' time.

Maybe you forgot about that? The world turns around the sun, not around you. Time to wake up for you!


Anyways, let the Mids have their fun, nobody cares to be honest. At least nobody I know.

I'm glad you're a normal person and I can agree a 100%, people are crying about everything nowadays. I saw people posting some statistics about keep ownership and relic ownership etc. and somehow they're implying it's not fair etc. Ofc it's not fair, someone always has more free time or higher population and it really rotates. Ok, Midgard always has more people because building groups is a bit easier but also Midgard has a huge amount of noobs who don't even care if they get wiped. I mean the people Moonwolfe is leading are some of the worst players you'll ever see in rvr, but they have fun and they don't care even if they wipe 5 times.

Some of the people on the forum are actually implying that the staff should regulate everything as soon as something is a bit "unfair", and ofc "unfair" is often someone's point of view. What's the point in playing then if you know there will always be a happy ending and someone will make things happen for you etc.? People should complain less and play more and they'd have way more fun. If anyone is gimped with old RAs, it's Mid. Even when hibs had all the relics for a very long time or lost them only for 1 day or 1 night, mids still had the most people out in rvr, even though it was hard as hell to fight against caster groups.

I really don't know where all this whining is coming from, is it a product of modern fast food culture where the last kid gets a trophy and everyone is sensitive and easily offended or maybe just the fact that our current population is generally speaking of a lower skill level than the one on uth1 and all they know how to do is cry for mommy to help them, that's a matter of debate. In any case, it's one of those situations where a very loud minority is trying to get their way by playing the victim card and even though I know it's just a game, human nature is the same in game as well so we should learn from history about what such minorities did on a larger scale and nip that ****** in the bud .

Ofcourse I can't stop the mids from pveing keeps with no defenders. I understand they are bored and like having all the keeps and relics. So how about we boost the game experience for them by giving them stronger guards and keeps when no opposition is online for them. Also gives others a chance to help bolster the defence if they are online (very few in Hib outside of EU peak but still).

It was not like this before so I don't see how you can present an argument to compare it....

If I understand what you are saying, which is odd, but the current state is absolutely fine because Hib held power relics when the population was a bit better in all realms. Is that what you are saying? So on even terms, you couldn't take our relics but now it's massively lopsided to midgard, it's all good and shut up. Nice one.

The comment in blue - I bet there were many wet troll eyes.
