Gwydion is an interesting server. It’s definitely not the biggest population wise, Epona and arawn win that title easily. On top of that the server isn’t super crazy about enforcing strict bossing activity requirements, it’s really laid back, feels like an actual game and not a lifestyle. But even with that the server is really competitive without any griefing or trash talk. Although it’s not the biggest everyone comes together and is super organized, with everyone optimizing their toons (yes, a lot of people here do multilog, but it’s in no way “expected”) to achieve really cool feats.Amazing, all bosses can be killed on spawn, especially on gele for faster farming of pures. And to make this work, the distribution of DG across all time. The best one ive heard so far.Gwyd:
-) BT - killed day of spawn, trying to consistently kill within 5 hours of spawn
-) gele - killed on spawn (usually within 30 minutes of spawn we start)
-) prot - lock battle, killed on spawn
-) necro - lock battles, killed on spawn
-) mordy - lock fights, killed on spawn
-) hrung - lock fights sometimes, killed on spawn
Dg not given out by sets (other than morgs set, but that’s cuz morg is da bomb). Dg given out piece by piece.
At the moment we could probably kill BT on spawn but choose not to so we can allow people an Opportunity to attend. At reset yesterday we had 42 on for gele would have been enough to kill BT but then it would lose its appeal to others because they wouldn’t get an opportunity for drops.
DG is strategically given and spread out to help make sure we constantly have an increased amount of strength on the server at any given time. We don’t have to worry about a loss of months of work because a set of DG retires. If someone quits we might loose 7-9 pures depending on how active that person had been over the last year, something we can usually replace in 2.5 weeks off gele alone.
Both clans show up to Prot Lock battles in heavily doch geared rangers.
Not to mention the people here are incredibly nice.
The economy is sluggish and sometimes it’s difficult to find what you are looking for, but like life this game has its trade offs.
Idk if gwyd is the “best” per say, because everyone has different criteria for what makes a server the best for them, but gwyd definitely is unique.
