Rps, our realm and the race for rps

[Aran_Thule]

However as said by many people, 'not on our doorstep please'. Its just too risky. Our relics will be taken whenever the enemy decide. It perhaps only the memory of Arans relic recapture success last time that is holding them off.

I didnt get them back last time, that was the early morning crew.
When i got it back from Beno it was due to a lot of work from people beforehand and mids attacking Beno, only got 5 groups with me the first try.

From the responses im seeing on the FH forum it looks like we heading back to the days of old emain, and as for relics, we cant port DC and they keep hitting N'ged tower, dont think it will be long before its indefencable.
A few brave people trying thier best to hold them off but getting worn out fast.

Nah, everyone join the Marsh Horde, one guild to rule them all, one nutter to bind them

Ok I think I have finally seen a way through this all. There is a good proportion of our realm that like iRvR, whilst some of us have our own opinions about this the one thing we can agree is that it should not be in Hibernia.

Having listened to the Excallies on FH the only way we can sort this out is to try and work together to allow iRvR but in another realm. Its an idea that has come out of the discussion here from those that support it. If we can agree that the next time we are going to do a rqaid that we are not going to remove iRvR we are going to MOVE irvr....

just to prove once and for all i am a n00b when it comes to rvr...

can someone explain what exactly iRvR is?

Is it when the enemy has one of our keeps therefore they can port to us?
In which case perhaps we should get their keeps first then the iRvR peeps would help make hib green?

the only reason im confuzzed is cuz when hib was green peeps were still talking bout iRvR

can someone explain what exactly iRvR is?

Instant RVR - i.e. when any realm has port to another realm.

I think I would like to see any captured keeps and towers in your own realm's frontier automatically returning to your realm's ownership after a period of time (say after 1 day). This would perhaps solve the iRVR problem that is dragging the game down and turning it into a free-for-all.

I think iRVR is definitely spoiling the game for a lot people. It's changing the focus from quality to quantity, where the aim is to earn as many RPs as possible, as quickly as possible.

I don't expect a number of players to agree with the above, but I can certainly see a lot of the long-standing players leaving the game altogether. If that happens, then those who want iRVR will find themselves amongst an ever-dwindling group of people, where RPs are few and far between and where they won't be able to find groups to join or enemies to fight.

In short, iRVR will be a major contributing factor in the death of DAoC and the decommissioning of servers.

Mark my words!

hmm
the reason why thre is so much iRvR
is cuz there isnt any groups OR peeps just dont want to group.
Yet they lack the skills/knowhow to solo and survive
so running along with the zerg when technically if you die you could be ressed is appealing yet you dont have to group with the people you dont know or like.

Basically, we are at the stage where the game is in terminal decline. It can be saved, but it's going to require players waking up to how serious a problem iRvR is, or Mythic doing something to make iRvR impossible or less attractive.
