Server Balance

[sb]

edit: nvm, i was wrong

[Demetrius*]

As for RMT progress. Our resident RMTs are retards how can barely kill KB. But our elite GoldBBQ RMTs are up to killing KB and Fafnir (GoldBBQ is a cross server RMT group that consists of players from all over the globe, including NAs)

seriousness aside, i hope everyone from odin found this as funny as i did.

We have one JP, who I think sold his character, that is a 100 GS, who had full Kaiser before almost any NA had Koenig body. I'm sure he's got D Ring also, and he's got Aegis. But the funny thing about it all, is I haven't seen him play PLD since about late 2004, and that was only at one camp that I saw it.

I know one of our server's most famous people is a little JP Taru who has 3 relics, as well as a full Martial set, and so on.

In general, I think I've seen a small handful of Dalmaticas, perhaps really only 3, one of which was the first JP I mentioned.

E Body, I know of probably about four or five floating around to this day.

I think I see Odin's biggest concern with people who obtain those hard to get items, is that they get them, and then quit. I can name like 5 PLD's with martial body who quit within 6 months of getting them.

Sorry for my info being so ambiguous and PLD oriented. But I'm a PLD. So it's my focus of interest.

If you mean Phoebee, Ridd, he didn't sell. He got his D. Ring, he came to one more camp after that, and then he just stopped signing in. He played PLD for quite a bit after he finished Aegis but I'm not sure it was found to be quite as good as he'd hoped, at least for him.

Arrow not only has the 2 or 3 Relics, he dragged people along with him until he got Ares body as well. Glad it works for him, but I'm not sure most people would really go for the way he went about it.

Dalmaticas... wtf, *I* have one, you noob. ;D

E Body, you'll find more than five in any of the big LSes, and I think even Res has like 2 now.

As to M Body, it's kind of a throwaway drop now, sadly. At least for NAs, AF2 is considered more valuable. VIT/DEF equations in this game are sadly sadly broken.

Deme always trying to stir up trouble. ;P

[Damane]

Unicorn:

6 D.rings - 3 banned D.rings = 3 D.rings (one sitting on a person that plays more whm then pld )
like 20 M.bodys and or full könig armors
like 40 dalmaticas (even more I think)
and 30 E. Bodys

3 relic horns
3 relic shields
1 Excalibur
2 of theese relics sitting on one person (Aegis, excalibur PLD)

EDIT: 3 hauteclairs.

Lots of ridill which I dont remember 20? 30?

This is it about the NA/EU side, correct me if I am wrong. As for the JP side just go ask the JP LS bonkurarz that dominated kings for 2 years or so.

[XxSlusherxx]

Ragnarok still has 0 NA Drings which is funny considering it probly still leads a lot of servers because a couple old school jp ls, mainly PoS abused the fuck out of the Pixie earring glitch from day one, I heard they were freelotting them before the fix came.

and I think it's pretty general knowlege where it stands in relics

[Lordwafik]

Asura : A mainly NA dominated server, we had a high JP domination but they have lost interest in the game(indicated by still seeing them online, but not frequently) aswell as the fact there were 2 server hops to remora, and alot of them moved there.

Dynamis/Relic wise : My dynamis LS gave a big push, before that there was only 1 JP going for relic, everyone NA would get to level 3 and quit, alot of people quit dynamis to the point that there was only 2 NA Dynamis LS's operating through the whole week. Asura also changed alot of servers mindsets to showing that sponsored relic (as in sponsor pays for glass, lots on all coins) was fine to upgrade it. Asura also had the very first Manaburn Dynamis LS, after killing DL others popped up everywhere on other servers.

There are way more NA Relics than JP relics, I'd say it's due to the population though, it's in an appropriate ratio for how many hardcore JP are left on asura. There's over 10 relic in total, only 2 of them are JP (Vine and Hitosi), although Dain and Kaiza are nearly there.

Limbus/Salvage : Salvage is almost dead on our server, I don't know of any other group aside mine who's completed a single peice, I know there's 2 other "Salvage only" LS's, I don't evgen see the JPs shout for salvage anymore. However my group goes alot and has contributed to alot of the infos on the board.
Limbus is extremely popular still, Homam is everywhere you look.

Abjurations/Kings : Kings are still popular, alot of LS's still camp kings frequently, abjurations pop up everywhere, it's not uncommon to have multiple body Abj anymore. Ridills are everywhere, not so special anymore.

Wyrms : I don't think there's any LS on asura that can't kill a grand Wyrm. Vrtra / Jormy / Tiamat aren't challenging to anyone really. Same goes for JoL.

LS Segregation : It's very relaxed, there's no LS there really that forces people to do stuff with their LS onry (there's some but not many). Alot of the things like Salvage / Dynamis are done with people in multiple HNMLS's who put those over doing kings. It's not uncommon to find people from a few other LS's invited to an LS event simply because they're trustworthy friends.


All in all I'd say Asura is a place with pioneers, and alot of LS's that know what they're doing. We only have 2 Zerg HNMLS's, 1 of them has fizzled the zerging though, everyone else seems to be fine on strategies and such. Aside AV, most LS's can kill everything there. JPs aren't dominant, nor do we have a flood of UAE gilbuyers. We have RMT galore though so that's our trade off, however them pushing us out of sky encouraged us to be more proficient in more harder things, so it's all ok

[Tyche]

Lol, i didnt even notice there was no NA with full koenig on carby. That's no way to gauge our server though. All the PLDs in our LS pass that shit around like it's a blunt. May get m.feet and give to x PLD, next week get m.legs and give to y PLD, then give a M body to Z PLD since he missed the boat on the feet and legs. You know Vygun, rico, and defsoul were pretty selfless. Can't say the same for silencer, fucking lootwhore! As far as sefirot getting a d.ring, that's the first i heard of it. What LS is that dude in? Is he the guy who tanks in wyrmal body? I don't know a lot of ppl in the lesser/newer HNMLSs. Mostly just peeps from us, frenzy/inferus/w.e the fuck they call themselves now, and PPT beings recup runs that shell and he's my real life best friend.

That's kinda odd now that i think about it, anyone else have real life best friends that are in, or even run a competing linkshells?

Whys that? And I meant to say "can barely kill behemoth" Only the BBQ l33t RMTs seem to have killed KB. I think the others tried and failed. One RMT flat out asked my LS to come out of sky to kill KB since they knew they couldnt.

One thing I noticed on other servers that we dont have is a large amount of UAE players in general. Its kind of surprising since I think gil buying is the biggest problem with my server atm. I simply don't know of any UAE players, gil buyers or legit.

[Luke]

Yea Vygun Rico and Def are good people. I wish Def didn't get shafted by Nid for m.body so many times.. he deserved it a lot. Who said anything about Sefirot and D.ring? Never heard of that but don't really follow much about other LS's.

HNM-wise (kings mostly) I'd say JP>NA but it helps that they had a huge headstart.. also NA's don't camp 24/7 like some of the JP's do (lolbeenieman, and HF back doing it again..). GR hands-down has the most kings gear of any LS on carbuncle but they've been camping forever.. no idea how they can stand it.. especially Ojaru... crazy mofo.

No, he thought it was funny because we have a legit HNMLS on Odin named BBQPlatinum, formerly BBQGold (after being UnitedBBQ after being Unfinished). And one of the original co-founders is actually from UAE. As to any other correlations, well, I'll keep my trap shut because I tend to get in trouble if I say too much.

[Synbios]

As far as I know sefirot doesn't have dring. I'm pretty damn sure of it. And Tyche, I think hes in VFSv2, unless he was kicked. JPs are carby are pretty hardcore. They camp most shit 24/7. One guy beenieman made an ls with the lot rules he gets first everything, and just has people getting him gear.

In terms of rmt, well a while back, i believe ours were the first to take down tiamat and jorm. They got banned, and as of recently, we have a new rmt crew camping. Its kinda funny cause there galka pld all have full coral/merman gear. Lowest they've been able to take it is 21 before there blm zerg failed them. Now if they get claim most people try to mpk them.

ahahahahahahahahaha


@Ashira: 3!

Hm. Another Odin perspective...

For a while there were 2NA and 1JP LS that seemed to get kings the most, with a slew of other less-camping, less-claiming shells that popped in and got things once in a blue moon. It's changed now, but that 3-shell dominance has definitely had an effect on the king stuff around the server. An abundance of Dalmatica, plenty of Mbody and Ebody is getting more popular too.

The rarer stuff on our server seems to be Dring of which there are only less than ten. Shadow ring's pretty rare, too.

We have a lot of NA relics compared to most other servers, I think. The dynamis scene on the server allows for a larger flow of currency. Shells like SevenSenses that seem to give all their currency to one person... and yes, there become players with multiple relics.

Salvage gear? I've seen two.

[Ryko]

NA's pretty much overran fairy after a year and a half of not getting jack or shit. Since then the server's pretty much exploded. I'm firmly of the belief though that 90% of the motivation to do anything on fairy is either because someone else wants to and you wanna stop it, or because someone else did do it and you don't wanna get left behind. So you get a lot of shit done in bursts then it just slows down for a while. Relics tend to get done in chunks then you don't see any for months. I'd say we're pretty up with the times, everyone's trying to do something new. Pretty sure I'm the first (and wouldnt be surprised if I was the only) DRK to tank all 3 worldspawn wyrms but some people take it way too fucking far and you get dumb shit like Chiz's PLD/DRK at tiamat.

I will say this about us, we're like the kid who wants the new toy. As soon as we get it people immediately get bored and you never fucking see it again. A majority of our relics are NA but like all but 2 are inactive anyway so it's fucking moot. The shell with the most ridills never actually use wars for anything and a lot of people refuse to try new shit either out of spite or just plain retardation (and when you regularly practically wipe to cerb after a fucking year, I don't give a fuck what you think it is, it's retardation). It means innovation on our server is nothing but a fucking fad and you'll be damned to find a lot of or any people with an original thought.

That said a lot of shells are pretty pimp all around, plenty of abjurations going around on NA bodies and depending on what you're looking for you'll have a different opinion of what shell you like best I guess. TG's got a ton of ebodies and kbodies, ED's pretty well rounded with king drops but extra heavy on the dalmy side, LP's rather well geared as well as Eden. Cog's luck with king drops is rather low but theyre sitting on more gaiters than they know what to do with so it's a matter of perspective. All but cog have a D ring at this point I think.

We have a couple other shells but theyre like the minor league on fairy >_> don't really get much and it's funny to watch when they do.

Then again that's just my personal belief, and I am pretty cynical.

Remora: do whatever you can to get whatever you can as quick as you can, bot zerg steal cluster fuck fest with a few friends between the 2/3 NA linkshells that camp ground. JP don't exist outside of limbus/dynamis/sky, and when they do it's a game of musical chairs for linkshell slots that starts when you start claiming kings. If you enjoy seeing linkshells with tons of 3 King equipment wipe to 99% Tiamats, grab a worldpass and come on over

lol right on the button.

[seabrook]

I think Ramuh is one of the worst and slowest advancing servers. We're still stuck in 2005. There are only three NA LS camping Faf/Nid, one EU. During JP time, it was only one JP LS. They recently broke up into two really weak LS. 50+ min faf kills everyday during JP time. I think Ramuh has the least amount of people in DA on avg. We avg only 120 max on a weekened, right now it's 6 am and there's only 30 people in DA, the two weak JP LS. During off NA hours it's only three LS max, around 60 people.

There's only one end game LS on Ramuh, they do everything. One of the oldest end game LS has basically become a social LS. Other LS has grown to weak from people banning, leaving, etc and stop showing up to camps.

As far as relics goes, all the major LS (3) have one relic each. One recently got banned.

There's currently two active NA D. rings. Three JP D. rings. Two of the first NA D. rings quit.

There's always drama in Ramuh. Our forum one page becomes 10 pages within a few hours.

Well if ya'll are just going to toss them... I'll give you my info so you can get me one! :D

[Rocl]

I think we have a number of NA stage 4s at least, on Bahamut. I can think of a Gae Assail and Caliburn off the top of my head.. (or did Godslayer finish it?) Idk though, I have to say I agree with Kuno. Either we're behind or we're so far ahead that all our relics/ebodies/d rings have already quit/sold their chars to rival LSes and got banned.

Close, but not quite. With a bit of luck we'll have the Animated Longsword fight out of the way by the end of May.

Also, Godslayer is Canadian, and I don't think that should count as part of North America.

What?
And I don't think I've ever seen Helpoemer's Mjollnir so I'm of the belief it doesnt exisit. Honestly, even I upgraded freaking Claustrum I'd carry it with me everywhere.

Sorry, inside joke. but really any country that defines a woman as someone who has lost less than three teeth due to hockey fights isn't "American" ...
