And what happens if people get on lock out from one city? They switch sides and PvE to get loot from the other. Will there be any RvR left or organised faction jumping to PvE zerg zones?<br /><br />I don't think this means server merges, but a lot of people to do think that. After all thats why it was done in Camelot, at least that's the perception. Though there wouldnt seem to be any point in WAR right now. The population is good at the moment as far as I can tell. <br /><br />However except for what seems to be a small minority, everyone is unhappy about this change. I'm hearing from a LOT of unhappy players and I find myself on the brink of disillusionment. It's more likely to push existing players away, rather than make them stay. What's the benefit? The ability to play alongside my current enemies is no lure at all and I can play the other realm on Karak-Azgal. It's pointless, unless its to do something else...Bootaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857676039536372689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-89974669215068960822010-05-03T10:35:06.901+01:002010-05-03T10:35:06.901+01:00so one shard is basically saying.

If you look at the hint hint going on at mythic right now I really doubt they are going to close the game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-13990188037206834762010-05-01T12:24:00.432+01:002010-05-01T12:24:00.432+01:00I don't really see the point of this being par...I don't really see the point of this being part of a pre expansion change. Why wouldn't you just do it when the expansion is released. People are saying it will hurt realm pride, but to be honest I have seen much evidence of that except for server forum banter. I am worried you will get renown trading but that happening at the moment anyway. I sort of feel for Mythic as no matter what they do players will find the path of least resistance just to get gear. It is a shame... for a PvP game I wonder how many players actaully like to PvP over phat loot.Triple Skullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04828322777118901073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-74116887958857285552010-05-01T09:26:57.456+01:002010-05-01T09:26:57.456+01:00And and and.

If I allow myself a blinkered view from implications of mergers or 3rd factions this could be a good way of giving RR80 players who have exhasuted the game a way of continuing to play on a server they know without having to delete their hard work.@shots_on_targethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03764329322238168841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-71760545854247618512010-05-01T09:18:28.083+01:002010-05-01T09:18:28.083+01:00I think it'll be all fine, once the big dust c...I think it'll be all fine, once the big dust cloud has settled down.

It almost sounds like the foursome trip to Mythic was all for a reason. These guys know something, and it sounds like Mythic wants them to be the ones to announce it when they decide it is time to release the videos.<br /><br />It just surprises me some of the speculation being raised by these bloggers. With the NDA how are they even getting away with speculating with knowing what is really happening. <br /><br />I will be really curious how this all plays out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16507484851860959875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279669963757550971.post-61233184475028574602010-05-01T03:38:35.242+01:002010-05-01T03:38:35.242+01:00the renown trading and powerleveling is what has m...the renown trading and powerleveling is what has me worried the most.

The lockout will be key to this working though.<br /><br />I didn't look at it from the perspective of busting guilds ... I actually wouldn't mind doing this so I can play pranks on my guildies without them knowing and to simply play against the people I usually fight alongside.<br /><br />I look at it this way, if guildies opt to leave to choose the other realm, then they weren't really good guildies anyway and they would've left for some other reason down the line. I am Order all the way and even though I enjoy playing my Destro ALTs ... I don't ever see myself turning to the darkside.<br /><br />(God I hope your thoughts on this leading to a third realm are right!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
