I don't know how they got the relics through the milegate. We had about 80-100 people there holding off the mids. On IRC they were saying they mezzed the gate and just walked through, both times. That can't be true, because there were always people way in the back out of mezz range waiting for mids to come from behind. Though it sounds like crying, I got to believe it was some kind of lag or zone hole that let the relic carrier through. Any mid on our side of the gate didn't last more than 3 seconds, so I don't see how the relic could have made it through.
So I'll do a little research today to see if I can figure out how they got their relics through.
So I'm watching them from the wall, they have no siege, and are fairly low level and a small group for this to work. I get the message that Noules and co. are coming, so I figure this should be fun, watch AI wipe these guys in about 20 seconds. That was before the silly enchanter nuke pet got me targeted. Stupid thru-the-wall pet. I hate you!
So, I autoed about 2 minutes before the cavalry arrived. Alliance chat mentions mids running around near Hurb, and I'm bound in Humby, so I go check it out, thinking I'll go hunt Arwanites after I'm done. Less than 1/2 bub to ding at this point. Hurb was clear, onwards to Myrddin. I get shot by a red hunter, just barely within sight of Myrddin. I'm a little frustrated at that point, but as I start to scan around...hey, wait a minute...something isn't right here...those look like rams...
We know what happened from there...and I have now killed more realmmates than Axe. A handful of crafters at CS? Bah, that's nothing. I killed every over 30 in the realm!
