And as far as freep raid leading... I think Yicky, Caek, Rax, Wretcher, and I all recommend one thing the most... please leave GV faster.
Sure you might wipe... but you might also get a couple kills in there too. Couple kills and the infamy/renown bar edging up is a whole lot better than everyone twiddling their thumbs for 10-15 minutes between fights. Your one to two people that you are waiting on isn't going to change the battle that much, and either you're going to end up at GV with them.. or you're going to make a boatload of renown by wiping us. Either of which I think is still preferable to waiting around. If you haven't noticed yet... people don't get bored and decide to log off in the middle of a battle or movement seeking the opponent. They suddenly look at the time and log off when waiting around.
P.S. Yes I practice what I preach. How many times have you seen my team in a rez circle or at grams for more than 2-3 minutes *unless we've been fighting for a couple hours.. even creeps need to use the little hoardale at times or to refill on hobbit blood drinks*. Outnumbered or not, we move.
Look at all the raid leaders you have, you have .. You have vyxe, yicky, rax , wretcher and rigamortis. We do not have other then when I feel like leading , me and sylidor at times. quten seems to be leading some but, There is nothing consistent. I prefer not leading raids frankly and sticking to small kin groups , sometimes decent sized kin groups. I have found that if we form up as said in previous posts that the craid doesnt engage. If i'm gonna get farmed, I go play my rk in pve. This was a welcome to e thread, that turned into why e is what it is. I hope he is still excited bout coming to e, but, it is what it is. People can change the pvp by taking one step to make it better. prime time est /central times needs some dedicated freep raid leaders and I personally dont wanna be it.

Alzie, I liked you on freepside but you are entering dimentia.
In the 5+ months I've been in the moors I have never seen or been a part of a raid that disbanded because 'freeps had too many.' During weekends I even log on in the mornings to raid with Smegrat and sometimes it's 6v30 and 10+ deaths are involved.
Freeps are the one who log after wipes, because people who have creeps WANT TO PVP. They don't log on freeps to steamroll keeps and then go back to bree and listen to the player organized concert.
Concerning not taking TR, or not taking Lug. My recollection of past battles was that when this happened, yes, there was a rez fight. But this helped keep the Moors population there for later action. There was nearly always some action.
For those that hate oc/ec fights, they would tend to move about the map in other areas with a healthy population roaming about the map. You are not obligated to stay at oc/ec, one could go to HH, TA waterfall, patrol LC, check out Isendeep, etc. A while back I was patrolling by TA waterfall and somehow Seyz and I crossed paths and we grouped up until we wiped at the Steps of Gram. We had some great battles at the peripherals of the map while oc (or maybe it was ec) fighting was ongoing. The action will happen if you look for it.
As far as freep leaders go, yes there is a dearth of both willing and competent freep leaders during the times discussed in this thread. There are some that could do it, but aren't willing for whatever reason. Dealarr was one of the last regular freep leaders before he was perma banned. Before him we had Kriptic, Leon and a few others whose names escape me, but they have largely moved on. All that semi-regularly remains of large freep raids is Sylidor. I hear there are others but they are not in my timezone.

P.S.: sorry for double posting like this, but I have found too many people ignore 2 topics in one post, so 2 topics get 2 posts

His post was pretty solid, and right. HTH

I now finally understand what Jabba the Griffin was saying... ty sir!
E is starting to look like all the other servers... at least Quiznos is still leading fraids.

meh, he's prob just going to join the rest of the transfers camping GV adding wonderful things to the E community.
When GV is the only rez, camping GV path is where you fill find people coming back after they are killed. Sorry I jump people by myself and give them a chance instead of rolling over them wtih 3:1 odds.

Not my style
It has become quite clear that the activity on this forum is about 4:1 vs. the activity of PVP action on my current server. I look forward to being there.
This thread almost makes me want to transfer over to E. Brandy = freep domination 24/7 ... must be nice to have some creep competition. Freeps here should appreciate the competition ... since in other servers the lvl of creep QQ has reached maximum lvl.
Welcome to E Bigslick. I transferred from Ark about six months ago and never regretted it (although I do miss some of the creeps from the tribe Immortals). One of the great things about E is that there is enough people here that the soap opera drama of the smaller servers is mostly overlooked. SEE YA AROUND!
Some days are good, some days are great, some days are a bit dreary and lifeless... it is what it is. Aus/oceanic prime time is generally quiet raid wise, but I must say last night's 1v1s were refreshing and extraordinarily fun. Weekends are generally great as that allows the oceanic community to participate in US prime time PvP as well (so folks like Sylidor, Yasmina, myself, among many others).
In terms of raid leaders - well yeah, creeps definitely have more competent/veteran leaders around who still actively lead, freepside is certainly lacking in that regard, but hey... that leaves a lot of room for new blood. Everyone has to start somewhere, and to at least try to take the reigns and make something out of nothing is commendable, I think. I've had a few attempts at it and in all honesty I feel much more at home in a 1v1 circle than at the helm of a raid. But if the need is there, the people are willing, and nobody else steps up... I'll see what I can do.
That said, you can still have a great deal of fun soloing, putting together a small group, whatever you want to do - and of course if you're into dueling, there are impromptu dueling grounds set up randomly, which are a lot of fun . I've not played on any other server so I have no point of comparison, but I have enjoyed my time here, especially these past few months in which I have shifted virtually 80% of my lotro focus to moors play. Animosity and trolling aside, they're generally a good bunch here.

That's just the thing, Alzie. I haven't ever not wanted to engage a freep group..unless I have 24 and the freeps have less than 10-15. I'm not a fan of the steamroll. If there is a freep raid out and one of the above mentioned leaders is on and grouped, you will get an engagement. Well most of them anyway. IF you have a raid out and you are not getting a response, you are probably on too late Vyxe usually hits from 8pm-11pm EST cause he has to be in sleepy land early. Myself, I just dont like sitting there for 4 hours of prime time waiting for some action so I log off as do most of the other people, Wretcher is a euro so he heads off around mid prime time, and Rax with school has funky hours sometimes. So when a freep raid comes out at 1am EST...you've lost prime time and you wont get a fight from one of the leaders. I may be on a bit later as I have night school but if i cant get any creeps on then there is no point. BUT...trust me. if one of us is on and there is a raid led by you or anyone else...you wont see us log...

Don't be fooled.
After reading the forums, I figured pvp was still alive and well. So I resubbed just to come back and pvp until GW2. Pure disappointment is all I found. The same garbage it's been for a few years now. You won't find a creep away from the zerg anywhere outside the TR to EC to GV area.
I play on multiple servers... so I'm sure that the answer is yes... maybe.

Nope. Most times if someone jumps in I will walk away or turn away unless the person is a zerghappy zerger who zergs me all the time. I think you may have me confused with someone else?
Welcome to E where our pvp takes place on the forums! We really do have a great group of freeps and creeps! Enjoy your time here and looking foward to fighting with you and against you!
working makes perfect sense. School just started back up for me so mon-thurs throughout the summer at least I am going to be on late or absent (lately that doesnt matter much as there is no action) And being that most of the players now are Oceanic...well...that really does make sense on nothing during the week. So the question there (not directed at you but at freeps in general) what happened to all the US people? Why aren't they out with a wall of freeps? If it is because there is no leadership, well then, we need to find someone willing to lead and go for it. Being that from what you say, the freeps in your raid were really enjoying the raid and praising it, then that means they want to do it more. So I challenge and encourage a US prime time player to come in a lead.
Don't apologize for not starting a raid earlier if it is an availability. As I said before. I would like to give a friendly challenge out to the freeps to have someone or multiple people volunteer to lead the freeps primetime. Weekends have been awesome and thank you Yasmina and Sylidor and others that have stepped up. However, that type of fighting used to be a nightly thing and we lost that somewhere. I would love to see that again
Step up? Dude, I've been doing this for years..
Regardless, I totally agree with you. But what gets me is I've logged on twice this week (Tuesday and Thursday for you) during your Prime Time, but I havent seen you or Vyxe out at all. I don't get many opportunities to spend time out there with you guys, but I take the time when I can.
It's too late for me to read through the rest of walls of text, so.. ./agree to everything related to time zones/leaders and ./welcome to the server.
