More Battlegrounds - Phoenix Freeshard

Hi Folks,

I would like to request that more battlegrounds be added to the game. At least Molvik and Cathal Valley. Molvik and Cathal Valley were two of the last stops before level 50 for players to practice their skills and earn RAs before heading to the frontiers.

Cheers

I love the BG'S. In regular DAOC...it is where my wife and I played. Molvik was THE place.

Personally, I think more BGs would be a great addition. I get the impression Phoenix is cool with BG junkies? The xp off and rp off commands and the higher than normal Cale cap...

If higher BGs come, will the loss of free respecs at RR3 still occur?

I imagine lots of fun to be had with a BG where all the RAs work (40+ I think), and people are still free to adjust specs, and RAs....sounds fun!

I'm only familiar with the current maps... but a BG with no CK to hug sounds fun...maybe just some structures or something? But no guards...oh god...the phoenix BG guards...run away!!!!

Please no. Not Cathal Valley. No please never.

The issue I have is that the frontier is so large, and offers zero cover for any solo visible.That almost assures you are going to get ganked. Yep...forced grouping is not my thing. That is why I play stealther classes,and an animist .

Just my 2 cents as someone who hasn't played live DAoC for over 10 (maybe even 12) years.

BGs are a lot if fun, however the more of them there are the more potential there is for the population to be diluted amongst them. If the server population stays consistent (and I hope it does) with where it is now, adding one or two more wouldn't hurt too much, but if it starts to decline the added BGs just further add to the dilution of players. Having a BG that is just filled with solo stealther twinks and randoms while leveling doesnt add that much overall gameplay experience.

The level range of the current 3 BGs is where classes really start to become defined and gives players a chance to see IF they want to continue on with them for endgame or try something else without enduring the 40-50 "grind".

Adding Cathal Valley will result in the one thing it did on Beta: Zerg fest in a small closed of world.

The Devs knows about this and they have said they won't add more BG's then what we already have other then in special occasions with special events.

What is the objective of this game? is it to provide its players with a fun experience ? is it to force players to have "fun" as the devs define it ? Might the game have more players because they experience fun the way the players want to experience it ?
