EV point of interest

To create a hub of engaging RVR activity away from keep tasks that is satisfying for many different play styles and attitudes.

Step 1:
Put NPC in the middle of EV that accepts soil/branch/snow and pays out a generous amount of gold in addition to the regular reward, AND 1.5X the exp.

Step 2: Place 4 buff NPCs equidistant around EV. These provide buffs with the following restrictions:
a) Only provide you the bonus if you are in EV
b) Only provide the bonus if you are solo or in a group of 4 or less
c) You may only have one of these 4 buffs active (whichever was the most recent)
d) Persist through death and last 20 minutes

Buff master 1: Combined forces pot at the level of red buffs

Buff master 2: Speed 5 pulse buff

Buff master 3: Determination 6

Buff master 4: Stealth lore


So depending on your class or group make-up you choose the buff that will give you the most benefit.
For example, no Skald? Go for speed.
Think you know where a stealth group is hanging out? Go Stealth lore (but expect that they might have red combined forces buffs when you find them).
Got speed and buffs already covered? May as well get Det 6.
Got a full group? Come to EV and see how long you can last against your buffed up enemies

They are currently actively looking for additional/changed PoI'S for RvR, you might want to repost this in the official feedback thread:

I like 1, but not 2. I think 2 would lead to a lot of camping those spots both because you know others would want those buffs and because then you can keep those buffs for yourself.

In general, I agree with the idea of giving people incentive to come to EV from time to time. It doesn't have to be anything huge, but currently, people pretty much pretend that it doesn't exist.

You’re right. Most points of interest will attract some type of camping, it’s one of those things that naturally happens in DAOC. Seems a decent alternative to spawn camping or hugging realm guards.

+ I’m not sure how effective it would be to camp in the middle of an open field zone in a three realm war.
