As it says in the title, I have an issue with two servers joining up against one.
Now don’t get me wrong, I love that they are able to, even if I’m on the server being
ganged up against. However in my opinion, there is one problem; supply-starvation.

I’ve attached a screenshot of something that happened last night, and as you can see,
the enemy servers held everything save from our keep (I think they are called).
The opposing servers played it safe, and attacked us from two sides, thus splitting our forces (Please note that up till this point, I loved the whole thing). Then I noticed that the enemies couldn’t take us, while we still had supplies, but being grossly out manned, we couldn’t restock on supplies, so the two servers ganging up on us (Thus vastly outnumbering us) simply had to play the waiting game, until we ran out of supplies, spent on repairing walls. When this happened all we could do was to watch and die, or run, as (probably) hundreds of enemies flooded our keep, and brought down our lord.

In my opinion the war-camp (Or whatever the place you spawn, is called) should also produce supplies (although at a lesser pace than the supply camps), so a thing like this could be prevented. I liked how we had to face really bad odds, bit the simple truth was that we could do nothing to prevent losing the keep, since there simply weren’t enough of us, to defend AND assault supply camps at the same time.

That’s War!

I don’t agree that spawn should produce supplies. It is meant to be a safe zone, that has zero influence on the battlefield. But in theory, even if it produced supplies, if invaders wanted to get your keep, they would surely kill that dolyak too.

The server I was in almost nabbed shadow mist castle. After breaking into both walls, we were right into the lord’s room taking out the last of the defenders… just to get attacked from behind. Complete wipe.

When I respawned I looked at the combat log. I was killed by someone in the 3rd server. There was at least 30 of these guys, they could of very easily walk into the lords room and finish off the last 20 defenders that we severly weakened and taken SM for themselves.

Well they didn’t, unless they were really that terrible and the only reason we got wiped was cause we were attacked from behind. Something seems a bit fishy there.
