Anyway it seems bad from my perspective - would almost make more sense to put us all on one server and kill Excaliber.
Clustering news
theres prolly a poll on the french/german site? (dont hang me up on this i dont know)Lairiodd wrote: what if I played on one of the French/German ones.
but tbh i see clustering as a bad thing. we are already paying for a game where only 2/3 of the game is avalible to english people and with clustering youll have 1/3 of a game if your a new comer.. that aint fair imho

"The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it."
my opinion is that this could be good and/or bad
Both excal and pryd have enough lag to deal with atm, if the clustering goes through GOA only have 1 english server to deal with... basicly ending result in there being the same ammount of lag cuase they only have one server to deal with and becuase there will be a huge ammount more ppl playing on that one server
Now having said that, camp spots for all levels are gonna go through the roof and fights ARE gonna start making more nme's in the realm then outside it, for all sides this could go arse ways, hib alb and mid are gonna have there hands full of shit if the clustering goes through cuase... well quite frankly we are gonna needing to be dealing with alot more ppl, so there is gonna need to be come form of a command structure (eg: chain of command and the like)
And another thing, if it does go through they goa.. mythic, whom ever the fuck will need to enable for groups to duel, becuase 1. it will make it less trouble for fights to brake out (eg: they wont all have to disband) and if will keep down the spamming of /as with such things as (EG) "DBM are just assholes" or "serverance can really make an ass out of themselves sometimes"
AND the most popular one "u know, am i the only one that things Green Peacekeepers are idiots, what do u lot think?" stuff like that will come up on /as chat and personaly i think it should be stoped before it has a chance to begin
Im still undesided about the server clustering - still have many facts and opinions to view before i can take a side, but right now im weeving towards "NO, i dont like this idea at all"

Im currently exping a character part-time on excal. I think Ill be moving there fulltime if theres no clustering. The reason we've had a recent peak in activity on prydwen is not primaraly to people returning from wow (which you people against clustering would like to think), its the fact that people are getting ready for clustering, without the hope of clustering Im pretty sure prydwen will end up deader than ever
to sharkith 
if i come to this server were mostly becuase my friends already here so of course i come here, but if from the start i dont had any friend and could select a server with lot peopel for more fun/action around or 1 with less i would go for the one with more for sure.
About the polls seems by a mayority peopel voted for cluster so seems lots thinks like me.
About what we can get with this, well ;
1) im ok with you that some days rvr is ok here, but then after some cool days of rvr you have to really boring days so people that like rvr really cant.
2) no more need for that "non real situation" of 2 enemy keeps in enemy territory to get rvr action (tbh cluster would come at time now that albs neither mids will agree to have a hib keep in their lands after the relic take).
3) some people cant commit to a rvr group that play everyday but still have some alts that need groups and they want to play with them, i wish (maybe im wrong) that with cluster more random groups start forming in ligem.
4) more action in frontiers in general (tower takes/defence, keep takes/defense, more 8v8 action, and wish more possible 1v1 fights around without have to go to that gay brinja bridge zerged by stealthers.
Then appart from the frontiers everybody have to think about COOL stuff we get with the cluster, like been able to join ml´s in excalibur, maybe some more dragon raids to join, maybe some more galladoria raids? etc etc without cluster you dont get anithing as this and only you get is look in merchant for galladoria stuff or respec stones and find that there isnt any up for sell... i wish with more poeple in excalibur we can buy stuff like that.
About prices well i think you sound a bit alarmist there is greedy peopel everywhere and as example, create a new toon in for example alb/excalibur and go housing, you will find that all prices are pretty similar to what we have in prydwen, but you will find that there is items that you hardly will find here, example; if you go merchant in excalibut you will have like 20+ full respec stones of course some are really expensive 30p.... but then mayority have prices like here in prydwen mostly of them around 10-11p but as you see difference is there is lots of them.
About scrolls i dont know but seems in next path will be changed the drop rate and drop locations to make easier to farm scrolls so wish that dont be a real problem at all too.
Of course there will be bad things too but i think in a great % we will win more that we will lose.

I am pretty firmly against clustering. I may play this game most days of the week, but I do not count myself as more than a casual player, I play for fun and like to choose to do what suits me at the time whether this be rvr, pve or whatever.
All the people in favour seem to be hardcore RvR players. I do not mean to pigeonhole people with that statement, but I see most pro clustering statements from people who spend most of their time in the frontiers, often as part of a guild group/alliance group maybe 3 or more nights a week. For these people clustering makes the game better, more enemies, more regular fights, different opposition to play against etc etc.
For the casual player, who maybe goes into rvr once or twice a week in non opted often pickup groups, rvr is hard enough as it is, without the prospect of all the alb and mid excal guild groups charging around the frontier. Just think of the Scouts and sorcerors we see around now. I died 4 times the other day within seconds of leaving DC after porting there due to adding scouts, the frontier will be full of the bloomin things.
Whilst I can appreciate how good this will be for members of the Eclipse alliance and NFD and probably a few others, I can see the population of the NE alliance falling off dramatically. Why would I go into a frontier knowing that I cant compete and have fun as I am likely to run iton a high RR guild group pretty much wherever I go. Do I have to change the way I play and become more of a hardcore player to continue my enjoyment?
As for artefacts and the camping of them, just a complete nightmare for the more casual player, and buying them if you get lucky enough to get the credit will be out of the question, prices will be too high for a casual player to afford.
The only plus I can possibly see from my persoal perspective is that there may be more people here to repair towers and keeps and claim them. Everything else strikes me as being bad.
Dont be too surprised if clustering comes and half the population of prydwen leaves. I am sure that there are albs and mids with the same thoughts on prydwen. The single server will have no room for the casual player, and as the GM of probably the biggest casual player guild on the server, it doesnt surprise me to see lots of members of my guild unhappy about the clustering. We have already had a fair few quit and more saying they will if clustering comes along.
I am not trying to influence anyones opinion, choose to vote the way that you feel will improve the game for you, you pay to play as do I. Its just that if clustering comes in, I may not be paying anymore, and if it doesnt I expect there will be people out there who will also stop.
I am however pessimistic and believe that clustering will happen.

Tbh i think there will be lots more people who will leave the game if cluster dotn happend that the ones that will leave if it happend.
The population of prydwen past from some weeks being 400-500 to 700 lately just becuase some of epoele of wow returning thinking in the clustering, if cluster dont happend there will lots that will leave and just wait for the incoming battleground zones in wow (dont know if is already implemented but think still is not).
So if cluster dont happend i would start preparing to see an empty server again as some weeks ago.
But well i dont know the future neither what will happend im just saying what i think becuase that i will go for cluster .
Well thikn everybody already know my opinion so i will just stop here about cluster, will see what happend
