When the brother of the bm logs the bm on the bms computer afk and sticks him to leech xp, and all 7 others of you can testify that the bm is another individual afk working, this is to no extent against the rules as i understood it?

As far as I know because it's a bard and BM on the same Ip, the GMs consider that buff botting if you can't prove they are being played by different people within a couple mins. They don't believe people who have a
AFK siblings/spouses/children because "that's what someone with a buffbot would say"

Probably a non issue for most but my guild has the unique circumstance of being 3 sets of brothers and 1 real life friend we've all had since grade school. My brother and I are the druids, both our heroes are brothers and our bard/BM/eld are brothers.

Needless to say we basically grew up on DAoC

It's not just Hibernia. About a week ago when Midgard's relic keeps were being attacked by Albs and Hibs there was very little interest in defending. When I finally found a "relic defense group" they just wanted to run around as an 8 man while albs and hibs zerged our keeps. I haven't played much since.

I absolutely hate the 8 man culture on this server. I have nothing against 8 mans in general, but the majority of the server seems to just completely ignore the aspects of this game that originally made it fun. Or maybe the game's just full of people who only want to play DAOC as if it's a MOBA or a WoW arena now. Sad.

those mids were smart to not defend

Yea this is pretty much the same for me. Nothing against 8v8 and I truly hope to get better at it and do it more myself. I guess my main issue is the priority some folks have. When realm objectives are being targeted, I would think most would put the 8v8 down and join the rest in the realm in defending/attacking. However that seems not to be the case on this server. Now there are many 8v8 guilds that do help with realm objectives, it just seems that some players will just not care when relics are out in the open or keeps need taking or whatever it is. Far be it from me to tell other people how to play but it seems a bit more interest or priority for realm objectives would be a nice change, imo.

If it matters, my lowly enchanter (only toon I currently have) has been solo leveling in the frontier my last few levels (35-38). Over the last couple weeks I've noticed a lot more green death spam lately as opposed to when I started my frontier leveling campaign. When I 1st started it was just wave after wave of blue death spam. Maybe we are getting there...Lord knows the grind is killing me. I can't wait to get to 50 and start doing whatever I can to help... whether it be raiding, zerging, keep defense, or 8v8.

(taking me weeks as I've only been playing evenings a few days a week)

From what I can tell there were a few misunderstandings on the first relic raid that made it seem like our group for instance didn't care about the relic when we were just trying to hold off enemy reinforcements. Every 8v8 guild cares about the 10% relic bonus so we take one for the realm too. We also try to claim a few keeps of the frontier zone looks dire, it's just not a priority.

I guess we need to work on a better communication between alliances so everybody is on the same page as far as relic raids are concerned.

I think you really hit the nail on the head with this. We definitely need better communication between alliances. I think it could be for more than just relics but that would definitely be a great start imo.

Which is why I am happy to see this thread pop up: viewtopic.php?f=62&t=41509

Hoping people are getting involved if not on the forums setting it up but at least in the background.

Regarding this i've got some nice PM's as well. And plan to setup channel next week and start inviting people in.
I would encourage all guilds to be more active and signup regardless of alliance. Cause its not all in alliances due to limit of guilds. Our alliance atm have waiting list with 12 guilds on it.

So please people, if you have any interestes to support Hibernia as realm, sign up!

Thanks

make a sub channel, for stealthers that RvR

so they can throw intel around really fast.

altho a minor bonus, its nice.

/who cg or bg most nights this week


no rvr bg/cg up...


bog bg/cg was hidden intentionally...most of the week that its been up... No secret when there is 20-30 in zone... had 2 druids 2 bards 1 hero in group..but was ignored tonight when asking to get in. Went into SH and farmed items for templates instead after adding 3 pbaoe.

there isn't much communication to the average person looking to help out... just friends list and lfg.

I do agree, there are not enough events organized by the realm, bg for rvr, bg for princes/legion/dragon.. people need to organize some stuff :p
