1) Thanks for the WCPI, totally unexpected and really appreciate that. (Though I doubt I’ll have a lot to write in the next coming weeks, going on vacation and am overjoyed to take a break from WAR)

2) I leveled my Magus on pure RvR also, still only Rank 38. You’re not alone Ziss!

3) My Slurms v_v, miss you bud.

Green dots for your party on the map would be great. Shadowbane had a cool group leader function that would assign party members to formations. I would love to see something like that implemented. If WAR took it a step further and assigned formations based on archtype it would even be somewhat evolutionary. The sporadic battlefield grouping of today could definitely be improved. Who knows? Maybe with the Bioware situation, they’ll start forcing their hand on things like this. If I recall, NWN and Baldurs Gate both had group formations, albeit somewhat useless for the time.

As for warband to warband comms, I find that /2 Region RvR works rather well. The alliances on my server also have a custom channel for guild leader/officers as well.

You mentioned something on the podcast about a problem with the warband/group finding thingy not working well. Here’s an idea: What if Mythic could implement a follow function? I know alot of WBs wont show up due to being full, but what if you could at least get a marker on the map of where each WB leader is? And how about a cross WB chat? And how about map markings for everyone in your warband so you can highlight what objectives to attack or defend (like in BF 2 and BF2142). So much to be improved there.

And regarding the foundation of RTS, two words: Herzog Zwei
