    Where have all the good players gone?

    It's sad to see so many good players transferring to other servers. Please, don't all leave at once, at least help some of the noobs get established.

    Circle of life, homes. Lifespans on servers cycle like this. Ridder happened to have a longer run than most. Most players, rather good or not, left to other servers that have pvp. It happens

    I rarely agree with Tbow, but in this instance I do 100%. Pvmp populations (in almost all games) have been/are/will tend to be cyclical.

    Cheers and ./salute. I have to say, at the risk of needing a tampon, Ridder holds some pretty incredible memories for me. Most good, some awful. But still memorable. Several years ago, I think Ridder was at the pinnacle of PvP on all servers, and kept it going for a couple years. Thru horribad tribes and kins, countless zergging leaders, several genius leaders, baddies, campers, 1v1ers (Haldabash), soloers and groupies, power house tribes like Legion coming here, and polar opposite kins like CoM and AUP building action, blind sheep and stubborn window campers. This hodge podge collection of xfers and natives made quite the unique PvP setting.

    If I hada 40 oz, I'd be pouring it on the ground for my homies

    I love you.


    Anyways I'm sorry to say on your return you'll be hard-pressed not only to find anyone at all on Ridder that you remember but anyone that remembers you.Everyone is gone.

    It saddens me to read that. My first lol moment in the Moors was jumping Carli with my R0 warg. It didn't go as planned.

    A lot of the older guys have left the game or server, but there are still plenty of moderately-new and new players on RM. I made over 30k renown yesterday (in 7 hours of play). I played my creep Friday night and made 20k infamy (as did all those grouped with me). My burg went from r10 to r11 in under a week. It's a crying shame we no longer can show the statistics to prove some of these doomsayers wrong.

    Everyday I have seen 1v1, group v group, RvR action on RM (at different hours of the day). With a lot of the drama queens gone, the moors has become a friendlier place and more creeps/freeps solo/small group now. There are a lot of freeps above rank 10. There has been tons of new blood coming in on both sides, as Turbine has made RM a suggested server to incomers.

    Basically, if you want action on RM, you will find it any weeknight or weekend. If all you care about is finding the last dozen or so who used to play on RM a long time ago, you will need to xfer to Landy or BW or any of the other half a dozen servers they have ended up on.

    Ultimately, don't let these guys tell you subscription year = experience or action. There have been so many changes to the classes, half those "older" guys no longer know their own class. Come and take a sampling of the evenings and weekends for yourself.

    PS A little nostalgia in a game is cute ... but there comes a point where it just comes off as "depressing" (edited as my first choice in words was too harsh).

    The action has been good, but the quality of fights has gone down drastically, I 3v1ed a hunter, champ and cappy, all red ranks but I killed 2.5 of them, then kur came in and finished the last one. My point is, PvP has gotten too easy when you play smart, or even charge into a fraid to kill a few squishies alone as I enjoy doing.

    I find myself able to win most 1v1s, you are not one of the most Cosst, but I miss 1v1s with the old people, even when I knew I stood no chance, but it's fun to play with the same groups of people. Enough complaining, these noobs make great infamy, I'm only 25k from r9 thanks to their many generous offerings.

    The irony of your words is not lost.

    Can you for real not see the double standard in your words, as you preach to others how not to play and feel? Curious, I think. Since this was neither a troll thread nor a "hey look at me, the attention #####" thread. Pity some people can't let others share the spotlight for fear of one's own ego not being boosted.

    You seek to speak for the server, and put words in mouths of those who were here since the server opened. Yet tell the people on Ridder how they should feel and think?

    I agree with you. Pity some people care more about quantity than quality Anyone can farm 30k a day on a faceroll easy mode class and call it great pvp. Or farm troll the same greenie BA leaving Grams over and over and over and over and call it a great hour. Lul

    Being able to farm greenies for 20-30k is not my idea of action. The quality of Ridder PVP is horrible in comparison to what has been. There is no question about it. Enjoy the farm.

    Fighting people who can't fight back well or win (Greenies) = High amounts of Infamy/Renown. If you're playing for 7 hours in a day, I think you need to rethink your life, dreams and goals.

    Says the guy who religiously follows the forum of a game/server he no longer plays.

    Quality is too subjective of an aspect to argue between two persons. Your definition of quality is your own (as is mine). We can leave it at that.

    I at least can speak in definite terms in regards to the quantity of pvmp on the RM server.
