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.

On the plus side, I got 1.3 BILLION xp for the new 43 epic quest. Big shout out to Tydd, Darith, Rosslyn, and Reinn for coming from all over to help me, Kisandria and Sirious complete the quest. They were very impressed by the Vengeance turnout.
We had a great Middie RvR war in the new dungeon last night. About 20-25 mids, about 40 albs, some high levels. The mids, all high level folks, raided our end of the dungeon. They were mezzimmune so we had to slug it out. I personally killed Sweat, Echoic, and two others (not solo, naturally, but I got some mad RPs for them f00s). It was really awesome seeing a horde of albs pouring down the ramps to engage them in the middle of all these grey/green mobs. Dungeon RvR is fun!
What's been fun for me since 40? Keep raids... Noreenland's arms buildup and defense was great... casual RvR where I get to be Darith's bodyguard (totally ineffective no doubt, but it lets me feel useful)... levelling with Tydd, Dargoh, Zaan, Reinn, and some others in Lyonesse... that was fun... duoing with Reinn on Tegs in Snowdonia... and, of course, the ever popular twink night.
There's lots of fun to be had out there. Soloing ain't it.
I'm seriously considering putting DAoC on hold for a while. I had all last week without kids or family and I think I played past 8 pm once. The rest of the time I spent surfing the TV stations. That's unheard of from me.
