Go back and reread if you're curious. Reposting everything at this point is pointless but, yes, people split up.

Effective Immediately -- those guilds who are still in Anglia and playing in Anglia will be subject to martial law if they are caught breaking rules. I have created ARCHERSNON death squads; 50 loyal apostles of ARCHERSNON who have been ordered to enforce the rules of the alliance in Anglia. They have been authorized to drop tag and execute any ARCH members who are caught breaking any rules in Anglia.

Guys... I was hoping it wouldnt have to come to this and that everyone here would have been on board 100% with the alliance strategy of being in Mercia and working together, as a team, to control this end game land. Why are people fighting and dying in Anglia(or red zones, or cumbria even) when those lands are complete garbage lands -- no enchanted resources, no good fame spots, and no easy loot pinatas wearing 6.2 gathering sets?

At this point -- ARCHERSNON death squads are the only way to enforce the rules and alliance plan to be in Mercia -- if we want to defeat OOPS and be an endgame alliance(which we all want -- if youre not striving for being a competitive team, this is not the alliance for you) THEN you must put faith in the plan that the leaders of the alliance ( @[KDS] Augir , @[WarLegend]Kam , @[WLS] Maltor , @[BF]Reptar , @[Criminal]Gooch , @[R U I N]xargon , gently caress im tired of tagging poeple, etc) have all agreed is the best strategy to win.

TL/DR: If you are in Angila not in your OWN territory or on an alliance-wide operation, you are now subject to execution by loyal ARCH death squads. If you have any questions, PM me.

Only as a unified front, will we defeat OOPS and free their slaves.

Good luck and have fun. Your week at the Whitehouse should have prepared you well for the way the leadership passes informaton down here. Sorry to hear about you losing your wife and job, but I can't imagine a better reason to start playing Albion.

Nah - Albion is a really solid game and I've had a great time playing it the past week ever since you know...leaving AC.

I wouldn't go as far as calling albion online a great game not yet. There really isn't much game there. What we have would be great if it was still 2003 and the competition was AC, DAoC, and SB. However there isn't much to the game outside of roam PKing, and gathering/ hell gates. Occasionally one guild will muster a large force and another guild will rally to defend but you can't really rely on that happening if your play times are limited. There aren't really many other game systems there to occupy people outside of gathering and fighting. There's like 10 different critter types, a handful of different hostile mobs. There just isn't a whole lot of variation and I feel like players will get bored of everything being constantly the same. Where are the orcs, ettins, dragons/wyrms/wyverns, typical fantasy type monsters. Everything is Morgana or skeletons.

They could look to UO for ideas on how to keep players engaged, but I have a feeling once the day 3 players have to resub here in a week and a half that they will think hard about whether there really is enough of a game here to keep going.

I enjoy the game myself, and don't plan on quitting here in the next month or so but I can't see myself staying past 90 days if there isn't actual susbtence added to break up the monotony of the same stuff rehashed constantly throughout the game.

I agree, I like the game a lot right now, but hoping there will be more content.

The game is just missing a lot of...stuff. Build variety, mob variety, terrain detail, sounds, music, lighting/effect, day/night, weather, etc are all just very bare bones or missing entirely. And as you mentioned there isn't much to do. PKing is fun, but there needs to be other things that are fun too and that let people play in creative ways. Not JUST mindless grinding and roaming PK.

They need to take ideas from UO for gameplay variety and from Shadowbane for PvP and ZvZ/territory battle type stuff. There is just so much more they need to add and I'm worried they will just be doing bug fixes and balance changes without adding all the much-needed content at this point.

I'm bathing in the tears of people crying about the 3 second dismount changes. I'm very sorry your solo DB or Pike or Claw or whatever can't get dismounts on anyone with no effort and that your elite roaming squad requires a brain to catch someone.

You couldn't solo kill gatherers before the patch (if they weren't idiots) and you can't kill them now.

Hello I gank more than you and this patch was bad, but we've adjusted and its no longer an issue. In fact it makes gank squads nigh immortal to zergs. When life gives you lemons, squeeze the lemons in life's eyes.

Equalized mount speeds with a 1.5s timer would have sufficed

Who is Gluttony? Is he a goon? And why can't we take our guild and play with non retarded babies?

forge posted:

I like how this thread is very confusing to people about who split. Baka was never goons and thus no split, the only goon I know is stunt who is bakas leader aka 1001 Arabian Dicks. AC and Kim were always going to do their own thing, and they got kicked from the alliance for doing dumb stuff the first day(no shock). Then allied with baka for a lack of anything else to do.

Also this death squad thing is pretty funny. But what most people forgot was the image that glut posted with shows all the alliance members as members of the death squad. My understanding is its there to police the shitters who go on alliances territory and vacume up all the resources. Rule #2 of the don't do in the alliance poo poo that everyone supports except the baka spies in AC causing trouble.

Also I'm playing POE.

He's the AC lead who is going gently caress goons by killing goons who don't do exactly what he wants when he wants.

I've been doing my own solo thing and just PVEing while building plate, shield, and broadsword. If I wanted to join the war effort should I level some different skills, or are these usable?

If it's on ARCH's agenda to be taken seriously and take territory then I don't see how this is as "oh so shocking" as it's made out to be.

How else do you propose to control 7000+ headless chickens spanning every corner of Black in 20man gangs uselessly gathering? Like I said - if it's on ARCH's agenda to be a force then structure and organisation is the first step - can you point out any better suggestions which have been made, as opposed to deathsquads?
