Poll: Pledge Size Limits
Folks,
We are considering a limit to the size of Blood Pledges to encourage PVP and fairness on the server. The current size caps were designed for the Live servers with a much higher population. This poll does not mean we are changing any functionality, or that we have plans to. At this stage, we are gathering feedback from the players to determine the feasibility of this option. Please vote with how you think this may help the server. Below is one option that has been devised as a suggestion but may not be the final result, if any:
1. Limit the size of the Blood Pledge to 20 players that are Level 65+.
2. Limit the size of the Blood Pledge to 10 players between level 55 and 64.
3. Unlimited amount of players below level 55 for alts, buffers, ect.
4. Players that level up above the thresholds are automatically removed from the pledge.

Re: Poll: Pledge Size Limits
Even though the BP size limits were set by/for Live PlayNC servers, every BP has the same ability to recrute and hold members. If there was limits on the number of higher lvl players in a BP I'm not sure making it so a player gets "kicked" if he/she was a member starting at a lower lvl and finally getting to the higher lvl is, well, punishing for achiving a grand goal.. It is my understanding a Royal has to get to 55 and have at least 5 lvl 55+ members to declare on a castle. This seems to be doable and is working. but not enough people want to play/lvl a royal, that's their choice. maybe some sort of reward for a Royal to get to 55 and take a castle for the first time. Or if possible open a second castle alternating the siege dates. And yes, there might not be a big enough population to have two castles at this time. then maybe there is something that would entice people to play a royal (a royal only, non-tradeable, weapon? after hittting 55 and taking a castle?) Just my 1/2 cents

Re: Poll: Pledge Size Limits
Honestly this would just be a troll to the royals. I play Peach... I am probably the only active royal hunting. I'm not grinding GP to get to level 75 and just quit the royal... I'm actively using it to play as my char and farm gear and yes a mage is better....
As it stands as a royal you're already shit on... You can only do 5 things
1) Buff - this gets removed with cancel so in team fights you have to spam it wasting massive amounts of mana at 25 per cast x2 spells with 200-400 mp you get a max of 8 casts
2) SoS - this just got a slight nerf so one more -1 to royals
3) Take castles - Royal is the weakest class and worth the most points. Meaning you're THE target... THE ONLY target... the most fucked and destroyed person and you're worth more points which really fucking sucks... There is not 1 siege where I don't see 4-7 people focusing only on me without a care of who else is on the screen.
4) Mana dagger- Same shit every other class does, they just hit harder doing it. You cant dps so you're limited to only doing SoS/Mana dagger. +10lvl3 ori dagger hits 17-30 dmg IF you can even hit them since royal hit is trash lol.
5) RECRUIT... This brings me to my point... People are whining because the worst.... SHITTIEST... MOST FUCKED CLASS on the server did it's #1 roll... recruiting.... And instead of recruiting for themselves when they don't play their royal, they whine cause we do... I didn't recruit the server, that was Princess but I still think he only did what the server allowed and did it because NOCAP/CBAL have been joined at the hip for almost a month now... Didn't see anyone from another bp complain that it's 14vs28 at sieges because all they care about is that we are ZERG and they are angry lol....
I'd like a list of ACTUALLY active royals that own and run a BP besides Peach?? How many items has the NOCAP/CBAL/KeepersofDestiny/(Taiwan pledge dunno the name of... has tenzo, sal and them purplish icon) farmed in even the last 4 months? To be angry that the only single active bp royal on the server has a BP is beyond stupid... Even if BP caps where introduced we'd just have NOCAP and CBAL doing the same shit... teaming up against ZERG/Calvin/BBQ/Whatever name we make next.
My point is its and absolute waste of time/resources... and fixes nothing.. the players will still work together to keep you out and you're only going to do this to make the only active royal quit playing the royal as there wont be a purpose for a royal anymore if we don't have bp...-Yoshi

Re: Poll: Pledge Size Limits
Zerging has always been a big part of the remaining NA community since day 1... bp cap would be great but wouldn’t do much, agree with others that it would just be the same since people would just ally up (not like they haven’t already).
Here are some examples::
Only way really if you want “even” fights at sieges which defeats the purpose of lineage is someone maxing the amount of players from each bp to be able to attack during siege with prince actually needing to be in siege zone near X amount of cells of tower for players to even attack. That shit would be too complex to code and waste of time :)
The problem isn’t really bp size, it’s the community. People rather sit there doing nothing with a group of 40+ vs 2-8 players rather then X vs X vs X lol.
