OF ... what if? - Phoenix Freeshard

Just shooting off the cuff not any thought out into it.
A. Could they somehow tie the three realms together by land with the zones?
B. Eliminate the enemy realm keeps and the porting.

I think the travel force would be good personally. And now every realm frontiers is used. Though I get why alb terrain is hated so much

I think these OF/NF hybrid ideas are a good thing, and should at least be considered. I have no idea how much work it would be to even attempt to mesh them together, so maybe it's not feasible. But it could be a new and unique thing that makes Phoenix special if they can find a way to split the difference and take the best aspects of both frontiers.

If you take away an Alb/Mid port-to-RvR feature they will see that as a nerf. These aren’t fair minded people you’re dealing with, they are psycho crybabies who WANT every advantage they can get. Even if you give Hibs the ability to port to Emain both Albs and Mids will perceive that as a nerf. Hibs porting to Emain would mean they would lose more fights or get ‘ass-jammed’ more or cause it to be too ‘zergy’ or something.

Albs and Mids like their advantage and anything which takes it away is a nerf in their minds.

Talking about psycho crybabies, but not realizing your own post is a delusional rant generalizing the population of whole realms....

What if Hibs(or anyone from other realm) was allowed to port into any of their controlled forts in their own realm once per hour(or whatever seems to work)?

Instead of feeding the other realms at the mile gates or pk’s Let some of the conflict move to the keeps.

Also what if the milegates had doors only the realm who’s pk separates can use. And no climbing walls of milegate

Can they not just remove the milegate gate structures all together? would at least give more room to run around, and potentially stop the camping.

To me it's not the structure MG, but the "necks" the terrain forms around them, and around Penn/Hadrian+Brief/Emain+OG/Jamt borders.
It makes it very easy for groups to patrol+control the entrance points, and while that was the point of MG's to begin with, it's not fun for non-speed visible classes.
In OF, solo means stealth or speed 6.

Group up, yes. But the discussion is not how to play DaoC the "right way", but personal preferences, and I prefer NF because of the above OF "problem".

PK owning realm should have realm guards help bash through MGs every 15 minutes or so imo.
