Congratulations Horus-Ignis

[Moo122334455]

grats to some realm for using cheap tactics, defeating a practically empty realm with overwhelming odds, getting some portal, and making a topic to boast about it like their specal and it was some kind of achievment

[Miraculix]

They *are* underpopulated, actually. I just did the numbers real quick again for all clan members on horus:

Alsius: 628
Ignis: 711
Syrtis: 1124

The point is, Alsius is definitely not almost equal to Ignis, cause many have stopped playing, apparently. And Syrtis definitely has not almost as many as both of them together anymore, cause it's full of hit-n-run characters, people who either quit the game entirely after joining or have stopped playing or switched realms.

I don't want to turn this into another how-to-solve-realm-imbalance thread, so please stick to the topic at hand All I'm saying is that the way the RLM bonus gets distributed is obviously faulted.

The fact is, Ignis has it's peak on the Syrtis low, and vice versa. Ignis low though is much better than the Syrtis low, that's all

The real problem, imo, is that Alsius is non-existent.

I'm sorry you see that as bragging, Pano. We must agree to disagree on that. Point is though that something needs to be done differently by either the players in Syrtis, or NGD. The realms are uneven, and Alsians can barely play the game. So either your high level players need to start helping your low levels, or they should close down entry into our realms for newbs and divert them to Alsius.

I beleive that the rlm bonus on the start screen is based on all chars over lvl 30 (i I remember correctly) This should be refreshed every week, if a character has not been logged into that week it should not be counted, Then I think we shall see a very differant picture.

And yeah Alsius is currently like a small rash that wont go away, trying to just stop either side from winning (helping Ignis/Syrtis as it suits them)

So either your high level players need to start helping your low levels,

Arwen conjured for me and Sol for an hour or so yesterday, and I have done the same with Umaril and a few >30 players as well, We do help our low levels, but its not enough.

Syrtis and Ignis being closed for a while, would solve it, but its to drastic

Be real, especially you pana. As you say about a pair of hunter staying <50m of a save, it works and that's how you do it and aren't going to change. Well, timezones are what they are, ignis has more people west coast us and canada, c'est la vie. You have more eastern europeans so wee hours my time you have the advantage.
When people use planning, strategy, and yes, numbers to win a battle or war it's called ... umm.... oh yeah, WINNING. Try reading military training doctrine for near any countries forces. It more or less says same.
Now we can all whine n moan, or you can take ur best shot.

till i see you next in wz....

[UmarilsStillHere]

our best shot was 32 players in our peak hours yesterday, Ignis still faught us off with near equal numbers (give or take about 5-10)

Oh, excuse us Mr. High-ranked-I've-read-Sun-Tzu-Art-of-War General, our simple zerg brains can not possibly understand all this advanced doctrine. Wanna share some of other top secrets with us, or we're not worthy enough?

Aye, it does. But from my account you would have had to invade three times to get that last gem, wouldn't you? We had one in our portal when I went to bed, after we had been hiding it in Fisgael from you ^^ (thank you, ignis mage, for that oppurtunity, btw).

My realm mates told me that you had a hunter still inside Syrtis. Okay. But they also told me that the hunter picked up the gem and then logged off, allowing one of the many random level 1's that were running around Syrtis that night to pick it up and take it out of the wz.

I wouldn't have minded if that hunter had been the one to take it out, but thats just low. We defended fair and square. The Gates went down in 5 mins tops the first time, and you were able to get 4/5 gems. We were able to keep the 5th from leaving, then it err got stuck lol When it respawned, an Ignis mage was still hidden inside and tried to take it and we killed him. So instead of easily giving you the gem again, we hid.

I have no doubt in my mind that if you had the same opportunity, you would have done the same. Doesn't make it right that you played low tactics to get that last gem (if what I hear is true, and I trust the person who told me)

I congrat you for getting the first four, but you have no respect from me for getting the last one. We worked hard for those gems, and a lot of us have been staying up very late to defend them for two weeks now so when we thought we still would have that one... to come on in the morning and hear that it had been taken away like that is a morale breaker.

I wouldn't *care* that Ignis opened the portal for the millionth time because really, its old news, but the way they got the last gem has me livid.

Sorry for writing so much but I wanted to take out frustrations somewhere.

[Malik2]

I logged in after Ignis came through the gates the first time last night. And watched them take the gems out.

The second time they took the gates down our defenders numbered in the low teens most below lvl 30. I died twice, and Ignis were through the gate on my second respawn. Probably standing at the gate for less than five minutes before it came down.

Later the ignis group rp farmed at the gate until they closed and moved into Fisgeal to kill some new players I guess.

I was impressed at the amount of dicipline you showed, and in attacking Fisgeal your lack of class. It took us forever to get you out of our realm and for that your organization should be commended. There is quite a bit of bitterness on our side, and that will only be remedied with sweet sweet revenge.
