When I first wrote this down as a topic, I was still resident on my original server and had yet to be touched by the Mythic/GOA population compression software WinWar. So in my mind, against all the evidence I still imagined things moving forward and maybe, just maybe the populations growing again. But what is effectively an enforced move from one of the prime launch servers, tends to set a mood that is a bit hard to shake, it has a certain finality about it. I’m sure in a couple of days I will be over it, once I am on a really busy server and my frame rate is back down in the dungeons of despair.

Would You Play On A Warband Free Server?

Are Morale Abilities The Wrong Way Round?

You are going to have to stay with me on this, since we are going to be going around the houses on this, before we get to the title.
I don’t think anyone would deny that this game is based around the warband, without having the subtlety of smaller group fighting (Small dig there). Now due to the warband containing up to 24 players, you have a very high likely hood of similar characters existing within the warband and therefore their AOE abilities firing at similar times. Creating waves of destruction, which make it relatively straight forward, that once a warband is turned by another one, then it’s pretty much the end, bar kicking a few token skulls around the field. Especially if that warband is relatively well organised.
Warbands, A Force For Good Or Evil?

I am starting to have mixed feelings about the warband. On one level, they are a great concept. You log on, you see the guild is running a warband and you just join in. No longer do you have, sorry mate, the groups full. Brilliant, all problems sorted.
Group ORvR

In my previous blog entry, I mentioned that my guild used to be focused on fighting similar sized groups in DAOC, in DAOC terms it was simply called 8 vs 8. It had a slightly negative view from some quarters, since it was considered elitist, but it was merely a different style of play.
But here’s the rub, when I log on at the moment, my guild are normally stuck in some dungeon or other. Now is this the same bunch of people who would meet up 3 times a week for a 4 hour session and happily go out and just fight other groups? If you look now, they seem to be stuck in PvEhammer. So what’s the missing X?
