RvR fun stuff ....

<rambling intro> .. I was at work today (i work for the Environmental Health Dept for a local council) & got sent to a little old ladies house who had a wasp nest in her garden.

Turns out it was in a sodding great big thick hedge, so, i get all my kit on, (end up looking like the michelin man) & start rummaging through the leylandi looking for this nest, i spend about 15 mins looking for it & i'm sweating my cobs off when i pull a branch & manage to split this wasp nest in half .... 15 seconds later im being attacked by about 5 trillion pissed off wasps ... ok i exagerate .. was probably only a thousand or so but it looked like shit loads :D anyway, im all suited & booted & waving my big pot of insectacide about trying to kill them & im stood there thinking "this is just like playing my <ranger, vamp etc> ... you spend ages looking for somthing then half the server turns up at the same time & kicks your arse" (see !!! there is a RvR connection honest)

Anyways, job done, wasps dead, bee suit off, ive changed my underpants & am drinking a nice bottle of warm water in the van & i started to think what we as player's (not just hibs but all realms) could do to have some (different) kinds of fun in rvr. I didnt think of too much but i did think it might be fun if ......

We found a nice open area of land, no mobs, aggro etc, 3 armies stand facing each other emote-ing like mad & at a pre-appointed time all charge into mellee. Each army would be in there own bg / cg & no one would be allowed to group, you could have it so there no casters allowed, or maybe just a few casters, no healers or a few healers, you could even be really daring & have no buffs! It could even be fun if it was just tanks, everyone could start on there horse's to add some roleplay element. Big fight ensues & the winning army gets bragging rights on the forums 8-)

That will do for now i guess,apolgies for the waffle at the start & apologies if you think its a stupid idea but my main account is now closed, im not sure if im going to renew & im bored so ive been spamming forums all night while playing an old BD on Camlann doh:

Oh & of course, does anyone else have any idea's that may make RvR fun, even if it is a tad unlikely :D

Sounds like a nice idea tough might be bit difficult to make it work. Best of luck with it <grins>

P.S. : I wish people would stop advertising freeshards :(

Well done :<

If they close down DAOC I would consider playing, otherwise it's pissing on the existing paying DAOC community.

I think the less said the better. I wouldnt want to give it the oxygen of publicity.
