im all for the clustering of rvr and NOT PVE

this week has not been very busy in rvr duno why maybe cause ppl lvling the new chars and artifecting them ? but imo more ppl to kill the better

Well it would be good to not clustering the PVE, but as it stands now its all or nothing, when they cluster they can either choose to make one ToA zone for both servers to share or they will keep both ToA zones, but players from both server can still use both. Its a bit sad

The worst thing will be the silly "From Excalabur" and "From Prydwen" rubbish above everyone's head. Or meeting goovey new people from excal (unlikely as it seems

) but not being able to invite them to your guild or skip off and pve with them.

Of course its win win for prydwen really: More RvR but still non-overcamped items or corus mine. I can smell the excalwhines already.

simply cause the artis are normally camped and we have a small population. include exalibur and youll never get any arti

least think thats how it works?

If we cluster rvr, then people can move freely between all zones in hib pryd and hib exc. The only question is whether there will be one merged TOA zone or two of them. There is no option that keeps 'our' artifacts from being camped by hib exc. Pity because I see that as big potential for conflict between the two server communities.

really?
oh

hmm
from an realm standpoint then i would say yes to clustering as i spect peeps leave more cause of slow rvr than slow pve
hmm might be nice to see how the excal hibs approach different artifacts mls etc

yea there will be some peeps who will be a pain but there are peeps on pryd like that

would be sensible to merge the rvr but have the pve zones seperate though as i imagine large servers are a nightmare to pve in.
Although this does mean peeps from both servers will be camping stuff it also means there are two sets to choose from which will work nicely for the artifact raids

Problem is, clustering was designed to help the small servers do ML raids - something they were struggling with due to their low populations more than RvR or anything else, and hence it's designed around the fact you can go to someone elses PvE zones even if the zones aren't shared such that you can join in Excal ML raids.

You can PvE with people from the other server in the cluster.

If you bring FH flamers here they simply become Prydwen.net flamers. A change of forum can't reprogramme their genes and undo the genetic stupidity many exhibit.
