and good news it is to, this should get everyone hiding away in the scenarios out and about. From Warhammer Alliance
Greetings!
With the addition of the new region-wide and RvR-wide chat channels we have seen a marked increase in Open RvR participation. In order to encourage this trend even further, we have made an additional adjustment to the experience awarded for killing enemy players in an Open RvR area. Previously we increased this amount by 50%. As of today, that bonus has been raised to 100%. With this change players killed in Open RvR will now be worth double the experience than those killed in scenarios!
As always, we will continue to monitor your feedback and work on ways to improve the RvR experience. More changes are coming, so be sure to stay tuned to the Warhammer Online Herald and monthly newsletter for the latest updates.
See you on the battlefield!

Guys,
Lets get a Warband going *TONIGHT*...
I know this probably won't kick in until the next patch - but if anyone else is up for it, why don't we meet online at 7:00 GMT LONDON TIME, meet at Empire Chapter 12, we can blast through that until we get numbers up and from there we can cleanse each area FTW.
I'll tip them off on the forums this afternoon to ensure we run into trouble.
People up for it?

If anyone reads this and happens to get in game before then, just give anyone online a heads up. Took another keep when i was on briefly last night, didn't have much luck due to CTD's, but we easily took one with 18 players. RVR WOOHOO

I think the next patch is fixing the CTD issue - or so they say!

Yeah that is appaently the case, however doing a bit of reading this morning, there was a hotfix pushed late last night that has apparently helped out a lot of people already.
I logged in at around 12.30 and managed to stay in game for about 45 minutes without any issues. I zoned a couple of times, went to Altdorf and Badlands, the only thing I couldn't check out was scenarios.
Could peak time gaming on servers effect peoples stability for staying in game?

No idea.
As long as the performance improvments don't also take a hit I'll be happy!

Right the missus has arranged for me to go to her parents house for a couple of hours, so I shall be in game hopefully at about 7.30pm. Of course you can kick off without me though

excuse my (general) ignorance....but can any levels join a warband or is it tiered?

yes, any level can be the bomb...
I mean - yeah you can join, and once its not a lower tier you can also fight, or in your case - explode.

Well a brief minor skirmish and three cap points achieved. 1 hour and 20 minutes of WAR with now CTD's
As soon as we joined the keep siege, 3 or 4 CTD and 2 BSOD in about 30 minutes. Only the last one I couldn't bring myself to boot up the PC again Rob, so I went to bed and watched a DVD.
Wasn't that busy last night either I felt, Thursday not the best night obviously. Might try again tonight, oh that is if my Internet provider can find the source of their problems and get my speed back up to 2.5 meg from the current double dial up I am getting for the last three days!

Had a pretty unstable experience yesterday as well, especially in larger events.
No BSODs but I did get thrown out to the desktop and also had one lockup happen.

Bit of a pain that -
I was in a group towards the end last nigth with 3 bright wizards and was basically getting around 800 - 1000k xp every few seconds.
If we can get as many dps online as possible, and mix with 1 healer per group I think we can do some damage, and importantly - get very good xp.
In a concentrated combat environment, 3 dps working together can focus fire softer targets quickly, and with two groups doing this and good maintenance healing we will not only cause problems but also get rewarded for it.
