I cant help it if they are willing to move their whole alliance across space just for me. Or then they are just scared of possible fights in your space, seeing none of them undock without their multiple OGB's. Naturally their blob is not big enough for them either as it seems they have happily blued every local pirate group already All news to me.
There was me thinking we fancied a change from the minamarr warzone. I should have known our leadership was in fact scheming to stalk some random dude.
Fyi our "whole alliance" is our corp. Only now we have the potential to enter AT's should that be something we feel would be fun.
Blued pirates? Surprising news for both us, and the pirates who continue to fight us. Must be that pesky overview standings bug again... *shakes fist* As for OGB's I think you'll find most corps have two or three dudes with boosting alts, and many members without. If you favour removing OGB altogether I agree with you, whoever you are.
As for the state of the warzone, I can only offer a grunts perspective. The minamarr front had become a little stale, tending to fight the same guys in the same ships, having to blueball the same fleet comps/numbers etc etc. I mean this on both sides by the way, people just kind of settled into their way of doing things and stuck with it. That's not necessarily a bad thing if it works for them, but did leave things less than exciting a lot of the time. Things were on the turn as we left though, amarr in the EU timezone have started working a bit more cohesively, and the minnys have tried out some different fleet types which are both great signs for an interesting warzone again. I think to a newcomer or someone who's been away a while things would be pretty exciting about now with lots of potential for change on the horizon if people push for it.
It was a similar situation when we moved to minny from gallente, and as most fw participants realise the two warzones tend to swing from one way to the other. I certainly have no shame about returning home to gal/cal space again as the solo and skirmish action around here has really picked up and the few fights I've managed to get since returning (busy month at work unfortunately) have been great fun and an opportunity to fight new people in new ships, requiring new tactics and so on. I would expect it to be similar if a gal/cal corp switched to min/am in a couple of months time. "Refreshing" is the word.
Give it a month or two for leadership to re-establish itself (from reading some amarr posters I understand there is a slight power vacuum?), the new ships and balances to settle in and I think the minamarr warzone will be looking pretty healthy again for all the guys who like mixed and interesting pvp. If there are any ex amarr tempted to return I would say now is a great time to do so, with the expansion coming up there will naturally be a period of unrest and taking advantage of that to be established when things settle again would be a smart move.
Which ever side you are on, see you in space sometime! If you aren't on any side, join one, fw is awesome. ^.^ |
