Thread: Alliance Issues

I been speaking to a lot of the Darwin bunch over the last few days and the same questions seem to be prevalent.

Elly next discussion with TheBlue could you raise a few of these and see what their thoughts are.

1. Clan Fee's
Will they require a clan fee for their alliance or just expect us to pay for our own sieging costs, flags, golem etc

2. PVP
What sort of frequency if any are they involved in large scale PVP, ie how often do they ally shout for help etc

3. Alliance structure

Are we joining their alliance? Would they prefer just our main sub in their alliance, we can leave our alt sub etc standalone etc Whats the limit on subs in an alliance?

4. PK of lower levels

I don't see this as a huge issue as we level in a different place and timezone to a lot of the big american clans but we need to protect our lower level guys from being pwned by level 75's, I would be interested too know how you guys did it in Fahrig and how much of a problem it was.

THings like warehouses etc can be discussed on their priv boards one we get the main concerns sorted and dismissed.

Ok, I've had a more deep and meaningfull chat with theblu.

Their alliance is called Revolution, it consists of;
Rising Star - led by KodiacIIC
Endless Pariah - led by Ferst
Industry - led by TheBlu

In order to join their alliance we will have to disband our alliance. They want us to consolidate into as few clans as possible. The reason for this is when we go to sign up for a siege. In a siege it costs a lot of money for every flag that has to be raised and its a hassle to protect too many flags. Ppl who have characters who could potentially take part in sieges as opposed to their mains would have to be signed up to the siege and have a flag up to respawn at. Otherwise you port to the next town and the time between deaths and running will make you non effective in a siege.

They have their own Ventrilo Server on a dedicated Vent server which they pay for.

The are completely laid back and just there to enjoy the game and have lots of fun. There is no fees to join or taxes to be paid.
They are still forming the "details"/"policies" of their alliance including selecting out officers or more so ppl who will be responsible for organising stuff.
From my conversations with Ferst, theBlu and a few other of their officers I get the notion that they intend on addressing this stuff as it comes up but they don't bother wrapping themselves around the axels about rules.

They have no centralised system per se and they just pitch in with mats as ppl are crafting stuff. The players are not greedy and are very proactive in the game.
Infact this is something that may distinguish them from us, is that they are very dedicated players and they are on a LOT ! Most put in 10hrs + /day.
This is probably why they're not too fussed about the issues that concern us.
They will be happy to assist ppl but I get the feeling that they will expect ppl to put in a fair bit themselves IOT help themselves. I sense that they do not tolerate noobies very well and will get irritated by ppl begging stuff.

They come from a mixed MMO PvP background and are not afraid to mix it up in PvP when necessary. BUT because they are working on a server based reputation as a serious and mature alliance they intend to fight (read PvP) only if it serves this higher purpose.
Having said that there is a lot of jostling and and jockeying for status amongst the clans so a certain amount of PvP is to be expected.

They are currently neutral but they do take notice of who's doing what. They will get involved in sieges and they take their server politics seriously. They do not wish to look like fools to the Kain community.

The Strategic goal is to form a 3rd "Power Block".

The existing Powerblocks are:
"the ZerG" - Dread (Giran), DS, DoT Empire (Aden), Draconis Combine, BIG Evil Alliance (Innadril), Ultimate Alliance (Oren), The Professionals, Prophecy.

Then there is the "bad guys" - PDA, Ultimate Ratio (UR), Fallen Angels (FA)Alliance, Static (Gludio), RDogs (Dion).

IC and all the other farmer clans are stand alone jobs doing their own thing.
Then there is the plethora of other clans on the server which may have some smaller allegiances which will be reflected in sieges.

Thats about it. I'm happy to ping specific questions at them as you come up with them.
If I need to clarify anything then please let me know.

Cheers
Elly

Nice Elly
