RE: Change the Length of Sunday WoE
That's also a bad argument right there.

Because ___ had to do it previously, so should we.

Because my ancestors were racist and those ___ had to endure hardships, I should continue it that way.

I wasn't on the server when LW had to defend for 2 hours of empty castles, but they should've asked for a time change then.
If you're going to argue a point use better ones.

WoE is meant to be ACTIVE and EXCITING the entire time. No matter what happened in the past, we need to focus on the present/future.

People keep saying it should be 2 hrs because officially it's 2 hrs. Well officially all the castles are open too. Officially the rates are 1/1/1. Face it we're a private server we're different.

No one said 15 minutes. As I said before, 1 hr length WoE is perfect for a smaller server like ours. The attackers WILL need to be organized from the start of WoE to the end. Since you need about 3 coordinated attacks to take a defended castle. 15 minutes is not enough for that. 1 hr is enough for that and more in case you need a little luck or you want to disorganize the enemy more.

I've been WoE'ing for many years now (with breaks), and trust me. A WoE can and is supposed to be epic the entire way through. Early charges and disruption is one of the best WoE tactics to use as an attacker. But no one is even bothering with that. Attackers are logging in 1hr in after WoE starts before bothering to organize and attack.

Unlike certain concepts in RO... WoE is one server-customizable event that entices or pushes away players. When I search for a server, if I find one that has little to no WoE, I don't even bother with it. WoE to myself and a lot of people is the end game. And I've played a lot of MMORPG's in my life. If the end game is not fun, then the game is not fun, and it's time to move on. Some people find alternatives like socializing or MvP'ing, but I'm sure there is a large population of serious WoE players here.

And WoE is different on every server. Why do we even have the Wednesday WoE? It's because it caters to the entire heRO population.
Most things in the game are there because it'll improve the game for the majority of players.

You're complaining about Muspel Mondays being the wrong times for you? Holy crap, did you even read the Muspel times? They have it at different times every month JUST so everyone can have a shot at it. That's like the worst example you could've given because the GMs gave a lot of thought to it and decidedly made Muspel at multiple times so we could all try it out.

ToH mass battles caters to the MASS of people. It's like a democracy, you please as many as you can and those that are screwed are screwed. Sometimes GMs will try their best as with Muspel to be fair, but oftentimes its just satisfying as many as possible.

Almost none of the examples you gave are good examples of making stuff "easy, fun, and boring". putting GR's in OCA's does not make life fun for creators or paladins or many classes.

The point is not to be selfish and simply go "because -I- want it it should be this way" but because the majority of people on the server could use this, ALONG with myself, we are SUGGESTING it. That's why your examples don't work, they're all just selfish suggestions examples. Making WoE 1 hr long is not selfish as we have said before has benefits to all sides. I'll list some again in case you're not good at reading walls of text.

-Makes WoE more active (therefore more exciting and enticing, no one likes boring WoEs. Not defenders OR attackers.)

-Helps guilds to organize better (if there's only 1 hr to WoE, then you have to start doing it properly, showing up 30 min beforehand, getting geared/partied/pots/etc and making use of your time)

-Saves many hours of time from players that would otherwise be wasted on defending from nothing, or even if being attacked, the 1st hour doesnt matter anyways. (A lot of people dont have 1hr to waste on weekends)

So it benefits everyone, it's not just a selfish one-sided suggestion as you seem to think it is.

And yes it does benefit attackers, as Aaranock said and I have experienced a lot of players show up the first hour, get bored, and leave. While a lot of players show up the second hour. As attackers or defenders this is a bad thing. This shows people are getting bored to death in WoE.

Perhaps it's differing point of views, but I seriously don't think WoE should be a place that tests the "endurance" of people against boredom. Getting pwned by boredom is not WoE. Getting pwned by LoA/DD, Behe/Apoc, Revenga, NE, etc. is WoE.
