Heya Torbald. We do have a number of super power levelers within our alliance. But contrary to your above statement, most of us level a “main” as quickly as possible for the sole purposes of end game rvr attack and defense. Once we have our mains set the majority of us do play alts casually through the storyline. Me not being among the power levelers myself I have always moved through the pq/quest progression only doing scenarios to keep my rr within 3 levels of my player level. I am now starting to group with the alts of our lvl 40’s allot as they have smoked me and caught up again with other toons hehe.
We did not have much resistance, because the order proved to be far more apathetic than expected. That did not make us happy as it was hoped to trigger some truely epic rvr that would maybe wake it up on our realm. Many of us have fond memories of daoc (pre atlantis) battles and we hope this game will start having more of them.

p.s. No one is going to be able to truely “sack” altdorf or IC for months. The hero of the bright wizard academy alone was nuking our best equipped tank for 4k. It is going to take waaaaay better gear and allot more 40’s to even put a dent in them.

That’s the problem, though, Graktar. Part of PvP should be strategy- essentially making the best of the situation to optimize your chances of winning. Unfortunately, when the game developer leaves things wide open, sometimes these strategies also make… well, boring “PvP.”

If Ninja-stuff strategies WORK, are easier, but aren’t fun, many people will still resort to it because… well, THEY WORK. People are stubborn that way- look at farm/grind groups that choose boredom over fun for max reward. It’s up to the developer- particularly in PvP to make sure that the most winning strategies are also the most likely to foster healthy competitive gameplay or deal with the consequences.

So, you purposely start in the early hours of the morning to avoid a player defense, and then complain that it’s not an epic RvR encounter?

My point was that Mythic said even opening the city to a sackable state would be an extreme, complex, and long doing. It is true that the city has not been sacked, and of course the king has not fallen.

Sorry about the confusion with using the word “fell.”
