Judging from Duskwave numbers Maelstrom stopped playing once again = no winners to add on for Mids = no rps for em

Albs dunno. Ofc it's just a speculation since i'm off game

It is 2 things

1. Every Hib and is dog is out in RvR primetime while albs/mids pve alot it seems.

2. It kinda is a vicious circle. No good enemy out means hibs dont get killed. Which leads to just more and more Hibs out. Which then means the hibs steamroll even more. Just think of this: Dorga the high RR mage had an IRS after two and half hours of about 25k..says alot (besides Egar being a good bg bot ;p).

can do that solo :noangel:

I have noticed upto 70 maybe 80 hibs in a frontier zone every now and then. But in fairness its not as if we are running on stick. And a fair few of us tend to run past hibs in a fg-v-fg fight (ofcourse if its 1fg hibs vs 2fg albs/mids, i dont care what any hib says, i'd add to even the numbers out (they whine about fair enough, so im more than happy to give em fair)).

But as soon as the 'insta' rvr status goes (i not played since ml4 a few days ago so not sure on keep status) im sure the hib interest will die down. Albs have got their wish, and their 'insta' rvr is gone in hadrians, how ever it went with their relic which is all down to their own stupidity for leaving the keeps in enemy hands even though so many of them moaned, and they consistently knocked eras walls to holes, had towers around it, and couldve retaken it a dozen or so times.

We are the scape goats for each realm, if somethign sucks for them, they will compare it to us

Insta RvR is already gone, at least it was tonight when I last checked. We had all keeps back and had Blendrake Faste.

But well, add or not add, doesn't really matter regarding the numbers. I doubt that there are that many 8 vs 8 seeking ppl out there.

But well, it seems that a lot of Albs are really frightened to attack any hibs. When we had the insta-port situation in HW, most of the albs were hugging Caer Benowyc with hibs and mids constantly assaulting them via Oriens Bridge. We as a group of 6 managed to get a 50k IRS score there once after 5 hours there... albs were at least two to three times the numbers but the only dangerous thing there was the scout assist from tower 1 and a few mids coming up from behind.
When we had the situation the other way round, we could move around freely without really being attacked by anyone. Albs were still hugging keeps and towers. From time to time some mids came by to play with but that was really the most dangerous part. It seems as if a lot of non-FG-vs-FG players are simply discouraged when fighting against Hibernia.

i saw something in rps weekly list
Hibs Nr1 -15 6 healing supporting chars
Mids Nr1 -15 4 healing supporting chars
Albs Nr1 -15 0 healing supporting chars

think this is the real reason for the succes of Hibs

Cant check stat sites and this client site due to 'smart' firewalls. But yes you have found the core of why albs zerg and hug tower/bridges. There are barely albs who play chars aimed at group rvr. They all wannabee a sorc/scout/infi/theurg.

And then they complain they cant make groups.
