    In all my years of PvP - by far, even beyond all the fun I had on Wild, is the time in the Mongol Empire PMK defended against all 3 kingdoms in a joint raid.  

     

    I am talking about 22 people (Mongols side) against 60, Mol-Rehan and Jenn-Kellon made an alliance and grouped up, then HotS showed up and joined in.  It's three kingdoms against one.  It was one the rarest time I've ever seen 80+ people in one local, especially on a PvP server.  The best part is that Avarga (the capital being raided) is located in a middle of a flat desert, so you can just look out and see this mass of people on horseback forming catapults, carts, paving a road.  You just watch it slowly creep towards the capital.  

     

    We as Mongols realized quickly that there's no way to repair the damage that would be dealt, because in most raids you would grab bricks, repair walls, but you're up against 60+ people and several catapults, there's going to be damage all over.  So we made our choice to instead defend however possible with PvP.  We went out in the desert, we shot arrows, back and forth for an hour.  Just arrows flying all over the desert, and we manage to kill 3 of 4, but it's barely a dent in numbers.  Eventually the raiders assemble tall stone walls, archery is blocked, and we realize there's only one option left.

     

    We grab the Orb of Doom, for those who don't know it's an Artifact on Epic/Chaos, it is like a small grenade that will damage all enemies around you in 5x5 with an "Infection" wound, but has a chance to backfire and just explode killing everyone even your own kingdom.  We mount up on horses, 22 of us, and we rush.  We even say in voice-chat it's a suicide mission, but we can at least hold their numbers down and respawn, come out again, and try more.  It comes as a shock to us that we rush into these 60+ players, set of the Orb, and it is just a massive slaughter.  

     

    Just picture 20+ mounted riders going full-on into a crowd triple its size.  The raiders begin to fall over quickly from the Orb of Doom and our swords, we are just swinging at everyone on the path in the desert, trampling bodes, leaving corpses, just pushing right into them and even past them.  It's one the biggest fights I've ever seen in Wurm, and we kill over 50 players, and only manage to lose 3 of our own.  It's probably the biggest engagement and most deaths that ever happened in Wurm in 1 fight.  It was just amazing to see such a victory, even though we had to use an artifact, it was still crazy to be apart of 20 people going against triple the numbers and winning.  

     

     

    Haha! I remember that!  I left just as you used the orb!   I was with JK at the time and I actually needed to log off for a bit.  I was walking away from the main battle when I heard everyone yelling about them dying and looked back and it was mass slaughter!  I managed to escape...I am not sure how many others made it.  Amazing time I had though! A whole lot of fun and would do that again in a heartbeat!

     

    I have not been active much lately but reading all this stuff makes me wanna play again!

     

    cheers!

    to be quite honest your tone is quite rude and its hard to take your suggestion seriously when you seem to knock a very large segment of the game population. I think it would be best if you would have kept your opinions of carebears to yourself instead of writing a nice little mean segment of your post about them. and on that note, I don't think this idea would work and I'd give it a -1. Sorry

    Please no GM run events or anything. I know its been mentioned before, but why don't you try to organize something yourself? To be honest any "super special reward" that would encourage somebody to get off their deed is just putting people who prefer to hermit and stay on their deed at a disadvantage. In other words, the people who like to travel and go out already do so and the folks who prefer to stay on deed and hermit already do so aswell....no use trying to change attitudes or playstyles. We each get our own enjoyment from the game in different ways.

    hey all I keep getting a freezing screen that goes white, then when I click on the screen after it has froze I get a (not responding) message at the top of the wurm window. Then when I exit out of the program I get the message - Java Platform Binary is not responding - does anybody know how I could possibly fix this issue??? thanks, it is really disrupting gameplay and has made the game unplayable for the last few days.

    When you become a blackie ;) by default you join the Horde of The Summoned, so as postes said you cant be a BLer in a JK/MR village because they don't allow Libila worship...which is the god of the blacklight and the Horde of the summoned kingdom
