How has it been? Is this server still well versed in the art of the RK and warden? Did you guys ever get a real guardian? I am not sure if I will ever find out... But just dropping in to say hi!
From Prestige,
Hugs To My Freeps
Not really, though a number of people are leveling Guardians it would seem. Lots of RKs, not so many Wardens.
Pulling the NPCs was our fault, well, Sno's bird's fault(:P). Honestly we could have at least wiped each other there but we got too spread out and didn't communicate well enough, it happens sometimes. When we agreed to meet you at crossroads and wait there was a miscommunication, myself and Sno said that we'd wait(I did what I said, I was in GV retraiting), but we wrongly thought we spoke on behalf of the entire group's sentiments when we didn't(see: Zidia's post).
Ultimately though it was one miscommunication, one engagement, one death. Thick skins need to predominate in PvMP, because annoying things will happen and they will happen often. I can't count the number of times I've been zerged in EC and had people exploit the NPCs on top of it, which frustrates the hell out of me but it is what it is, you take your shots and move on.
When Treason originally left the freep population was underdeveloped. I'm the second highest in renown and I had barely even started out there when you left, so the server simply wasn't ready for you yet(Riddermark had the same problem of up front creep transfers scaring off initial freeps).
The situation now is different. The majority of freep regulars are in Ainur, and most of the high ranked creeps don't seem to log on as much. So we end up having to have some of our guys on creep side just to get fights going. The problem there being that if I see an imbalance as a freep I have to wait an hour to flip(to a R0 creep), by which time the landscape could have drastically changed. And when you have the same kin on both sides it's difficult to determine when you should free-for-all because there seems to be an expectation of playing favorites and a subsequent angered reaction if you don't.
Honestly what Dwarrowdelf needs is not creeps leaving but creeps playing, despite the fact there are often zergs of greenies(I've been attempted-farmed at the top of TR at least 3 days this week). I think Ainur as a whole could give a good fight now to Treason/Pariah/Animals, but instead we get lower numbers and NPCs which give 0 renown on death, so we have to fragment our kin just to fabricate fights. Then on top of that we get in these griefing cycles where it's like the chicken and the egg of who screwed who over first. This silly notion that ''They deserve X for doing Y and Z!!11!!!1!1'' that only leads to progressively dumber fights.
Basically, everyone needs to get over it and fight. Less talk, less griefing, less diplomacy, less raging, more killing, more dying.
So i heard there were freeps camping Grams for greenies last night. Not ok, the reason everyone plays this game is to have fun. Being rez camped is not fun. This is a game, think of others. The only reason I held my rez camp today, and I made this very clear to my raid, is because you guys did this. The people I killed are prolly not the ones who camped it, but they paid the price for your greed.
Also, stop rolling the map please. It's foolish to roll the map, if you guys have such overwhelming numbers that you need to do something, go to SG and get better gear. There is no point what so ever for you guys to take the rez from noobie creeps.
Today was punishment for the stupidity, but you guys put up a heck of a fight
<3 Sno, Etheren(forgive the spelling) and Wufleborn.
Boardwalk stay out of the moors.

*clears throat* There is a solution to rez camping besides rage quitting...GET YOUR MAPS YOU LAZY SLUGGARDS!! See if you just had your maps you could map out with the freeps standing around snickering thinking they are gonna get you and all of the sudden BAM!! you get them from behind they panic and scurry in different directions and/or to the oneshots...Problem solved. People complain too much.
Just dropping in to say thank you for the fights today! All the lower levels out there, mad props for sticking to your guns while we fought. I am glad you guys came out. Sorry I had to map out... Work calls.

Agreed wholeheartedly. We all probably died more in a few hours this morning than we usually do in a day or two, but I don't care (not that I care anyway) because it seemed like everybody on both sides was having a blast. I can't speak for the freeps but at least in our fellow we were having a grand old time.
Good night tonight! Was a few epic fights. Good variance on the usual fights. One complaint... That was the fastest "Oh #### creeps showed up while we are taking Lugz" That I have ever seen... At least could have stayed and died for me! Jk. Great night! Great fights!
Yeah, fighting with the outnumbered buff against a raid or two (can't remember which specific fight we ran into the two raids lmao) who kept running back from the res and still killing a ton of creep was pretty ololol, yay points >:3

Many good fights yesterday. Got alot of renown, and a rank out of it. There was a good amount of time where the fights were back and forth, and it kept the action consistent, and it didn't involve staring at each other on TA lawn/stab/ec.
Moving the fights around the map kept things interesting for both sides.

It would come and go throughout the day. Towards the end of the day though, it seemed creepside had about a 2 to 1 advantage over freeps.

For the record though, there were 3 other croob raids that never left the Steps of Grams that also affect the buff. I actually put some people on ignore cause they kept llfing for a raid with no purpose that never moved out of Grams/OC. One of the croobs was literally saying "Anyone for raid to do something, I want to make a big one, we will all meet in middle send tell to I"
Anyway though, great fights everywhere, the constant movement was awesome. Oh yea, the mass Lugz suicide was hilarious.

Yeah, the Moors have lured out a lot of... newbie people on both sides. While this may be frustrating now, hopefully they will stick around for awhile and make the Moors insane with large-scale fights in the near future. As you all say, the madness of the giant fights recently has been a blast - and record shows both sides are just raking in the points.
Very true. Even this morning, Ata, Ian and I were out with a couple of Froobs and we did pretty well against Ohpra and Luggy's small gank group. I smell a much welcome change coming to the Moors.

I saw that lol. I was on my creep for about an hour (it's only taken me three months to get to r3 on my WL, yay for Infamy quest rewards!) and saw him spam a few times before I flipped. Some of the stuff I heard was... interesting, to say the least.
I think the funniest thing I saw all day was when we were waiting in Hoarhallow, for someone that was afk, and a Reaver ran right into the middle of our raid and started bashing on a Hobbit...

My favorite moment was the following exchange between a Croob who flipped to tell Zidia and Doomsie off (this is all paraphrased, mind you, but it all happened):
Croob: Can you please stop killing me? I'm trying to do a quest!
Doomsie: Umm, you're in a PvP zone, you have to expect to be killed, it's by design
Croob: I'm gonna go back to playing WoW, people there are nicer
Doomsie: Cool story, bro
Croob: B****
lvl 42 Froob (via OOC): Can I join your raid group?
Me: Go level to 75, we can't afford to waste time to consistently waste rez's you
lvl 42 Froob: wow
Zidia: you're wasting time, go level then come back to us
lvl 42 Froob: But I don't wanna level! I just want the renown! Why can't I just have fun out here the way I want to have fun? Please??? PLEASE!!!
Zidia: Go level and stop wasting our time
lvl 42 Froob: wow... what a cow... you guys are mean
Yea, heard about that lol. Had me laughing for an hour.

lol, the freever surroundings awareness seems to be low. I was chasing Bryan around the outside of EC today and he ran right through 7 reavers who were all attacking an NPC without taking 1 point of damage from the guys.

most of these reavers are excited maybe over-excited... some of them don't even attack a freep if they see one.. took them a while to realize that freeps are not their friend...
also, since reavers are f2p now.... i regret choosing the race of my LM an elf...
Please remember this is a game so we like to keep politics out of it. If you are on creep side, you should attack a freep, even if they are your friend. Having Aces show up while I was leading a creep raid has never made me stop and think about weather or not to attack him. The answer was always the same, attack.
If you have friends on freepside who you have pacts with or want to keep alive, you should not be in the moors. Likewise to the freeps, no avoiding killing your friends.
If it is a slow day and you want to jump around each other, that is fine. But when there is RvR action, you need to put friendships aside.
No one comes to the moors to hop in circles.... except maybe Tickletackler.... We are all here to get ranks. Weather it be on freep or creep.
My second thought is we are here in the game to have fun. If one side is getting destroyed please log over and help them out. I would do this here but my cappy is only 52 . Please help us have as much fun as possible in the moors. Open field fights and plenty of deaths on both sides make for a great night!
