[FONT=Arial]To the adults on Order with a semblance of perspective, thank you for your congratulations. It was a lot of hard work and planning. All the members of Retribution alliance know what it took to get this done and did a great job. The following message is not for you. To the others spouting off, here is a FAQ for you:[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]“Not fair that Destruction gets empty instances.”[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]Sure it’s fair. If I bring 300 and you defend with 40, should 260 sit around? And what if you decide to not even defend, does that mean we have to stop and not even attack since the odds won’t be fair? “Warhammer- War is Everywhere.”[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]“We can’t beat the Zerg!”[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]Sure you can. Defenders have a huge advantage, especially when next to a large spawn of Champions and a level 45 Keep Lord Hero. If anything, the lag caused by another 50-100 defenders and their combat effects would turn the field laggy and the guards would kill more of us. The fact is the entire time we were not in Altdorf I saw 8 defenders in total.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]“You ninja’ed Altdorf, noone was awake!”[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]Really? At 11am EST we still hadn’t even taken Reikwald yet on a long weekend.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]“You’re all kiddies with no lives!”[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]This does not apply on a Sunday morning/afternoon on a long weekend. It is false in any event.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]"You outlevel us!"[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]I am in my 30s, have a family, a demanding career with many responsibilities, spend two nights offline doing other things and I am level 34 RR 32. So to say you can't be in your 30s is baloney. Take some medicine for your rerollitis and get in the game.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]“We didn’t have enough warning!”[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]Even if you didn’t look at the realm war map (which you should be doing on a regular basis) everyone on the server got a message when Stonewatch was opened. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]Then another message when it fell. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]Then it took us another hour to take Praag and Reikland. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]Then you got another server-wide message that Reikwald was vulnerable. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]How much warning do you need? Should I put you all on my speed-dial and call you when we are sieging? Please remember it took us 5 hours to open up Altdorf. To not figure out what we were doing in 5 hours is incompetent at best.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]“Zerging with 300 people is easy”[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]Sure it is. Then why didn’t you do it? Better yet, have you ever done anything in an MMO besides spout off on forums? FYI the alliance PRX was in took the first relic in DAoC (just to name 1 other accomplishment) and the other guilds in our alliance have a lot of experience at being successful. Organization is a benefit of hard work and being mature enough to get along with others.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]“Order is outnumbered”[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]First, it isn’t on this server. In fact the last time I saw the raw #s it was 50.5% in Order’s favor. But let’s assume for a second Order was outnumbered. You don’t need equal #s to defend Reikwald or Stonewatch, not even close.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]“Altdorf was <insert excuse here> so I couldn’t get in to defend.”[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]Frankly we should have never gotten to Altdorf if you defended it at one of the many choke points we had to get through during our 5 hours of attacking. Besides, a lot of our force couldn’t get in either.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]"Taking a city is too fast!"[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]300 people spending 8 hours (5 to open Altdorf, 3 inside), with no opposition, is not too fast. Think about that for a second; 300 people sitting at their computer for 8 hours. Now, let's say it was 300 v 100, if we succeeded, it might have taken 12 hours. Now let's say 200 on 100, we would not have succeeded or it would take 16 hours? It doesn't take too long.[/FONT]
