Stop DF perpetually open for all realms

What happens is a group of high levels comes by the lowie areas and kills every one.10 minutes later...they do it again and again and again.The result is lowbies cannot take advantage of DF even though their realm may dominate for a while on the frontier.. Low level players need to have some time to benefit from DF if their realm dominates on the frontier.Failure to change the current system will cause all low level players to avoid DF.Of course this is all grey ganking which I deplore.
FOR THOSE ROUGH TOUGH grey gankers out there I understand players entering certain areas invite getting killed. I don't think there should be ANY reward for that activity at a minimum.

How do I know this is not a regular feature of this version of DAOC ?

Because they have already stated that it will be open perpetually in beta for testing and that it will only be like this for a couple weeks after launch to allow people to level faster.

Thanks for the explanation.I appreciate it. However because of being constantly killed in DF..I don't go there.So perpetually being open has the opposite effect....for me. It is not a place I would go to to level...unfortunately.

I dunno why people go to DF much in Beta... I have found most of the dungeons in normal world to be pretty much empty... would like to see more groups go there on purpose if not only to test make sure its okay.

DF really isn't that critical for this iteration of DAOC, especially for low level characters. You can literally farm anywhere and get comparable/superior gear. This is just beta - I want to say that for live it will be open to all for the first month before it switches back to whoever owns the most keeps.

The only advantage for DF is the xp bonus which I have been told is 30%? more than a non frontiers area. The mobs spawn fast and are tightly packed making pulling a lot rather easy. The loot drops are the same anywhere and the gear you will buy from DF is not as good as the stuff I have found generally, but then again I solo with my toons a bit before finding a group just to get my gear caught up.

Just think, if it wasn't open to all realms this post would be "why does Midgard always own DF" or something like that.

You are lucky you can even get inside to be grey ganked in the first place

The man is right. This was the story on Uth launch.

That was actually the reason for putting this in. Many members of the staff played at the start on Uth2 and heard the complains about only mids having DF at the beginning and that this gave midgard a kickstart. To give every realm an equal start, DF will be open to all the first 4 weeks of Beta and Launch. It is a rvr zone, so there is the possibility to get killed by a player.

DF itself has no special DF bonus. DF has the 30% exp bonus, that every frontier zones has and it has the bonus which all dungeons have, a higher camp bonus than open world zones. To sum this up, every FZ dungeon (DF, Marfach, Hoc, Dodens, SH) is the zone with the highest xp bonus.

I won't be going to DF any time in the near future. Why would a visible go into a small room.....to be jumped by 3-5 enemy 50's ,because anybody can come to DF. ? I'll be out on the frontier to get my xp bonus where enemy have to work to kill me.
