I swear I saw luxon take over durhem archives anyone else see this?--A Guy 21:13, 25 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I have, but not in Durhem. I've also seen Luxon reclaim Leviathan Pits. ^^ &mdash; Galil  21:27, 25 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I have seen the Luxons take Durheim Archies (most recently, Friday night), and I have seen the Kurzicks take the Harvest temple (all the time) and Seafarer's Rest (I think I have screen caps of those). --Karlos 00:19, 26 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Yesterday evening, luxon went as far as Lutgardis Conservatory, looked nice, for me as a loxon :D but i forgot to screenshot it :\ HJT 01:07, 18 August 2006 (CDT)

Misnamed and misleading name..
The Alliance border is not only the wrong name (the border is between the Kurzicks and the Luxons, not between alliances) but Alliance border implies it has something to do with alliances when it doesn't. It does have to do with Alliance Battles, but not alliances, as Alliance Battles can be played by any guild allied with the Kurzicks or Luxons, not necessarily by alliances. This is also confirmed by the Scribe's first entry when he is talking about the Kurzicks marching into Luxon lands and so forth. --Karlos 00:27, 26 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Right. That Kurzick/Luxon Border sounds a lot better.


 * I thought it was named Alliance border. Either way it seems an anon already re-created it, though I vote we should keep it here. &mdash; Galil  19:32, 2 July 2006 (CDT)


 * Named Alliance border by whom? --Karlos 22:21, 2 July 2006 (CDT)


 * Let's just make Alliance Border redirect to Kurzik-Luxon Border. --Crasher 16:27, 11 July 2006 (CDT)

Which towns switch control?
I know there are 5 different maps for alliance battles, and I'm assuming that based on which map is selected is also what determines how far the border moves. If Etnaran Keys is the alliance battle, then it means the Kurzicks control the Harvest Temple. Does that mean the Kurzicks get every other town (except missions and cities) when the alliance battle takes place at Kanaaki Cliffs. Or does the border shift subtley ever 3 hours even if the alliance battle location doesn't change?

Also Alliance Faction has a lot of information pertaining to the border, especially the times at which they change.

 * All outposts can potentially be captured.--Draygo Korvan (Chat) 10:54, 26 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Any outpost that can be controlled by an alliance can be engulfed by the border. The border shifts (I think) in the direction of the side that lost 10 times in the current alliance battle scene. --Karlos 18:47, 26 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I'm curious as to why you think 10 times in the current alliance battle scene the outpost will change? I've never seen more than one outpost change ever 3 hours. --Kryshnysh 12:51, 27 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I have not tracked the border movement too closely, the number 10 is just what is floating around in AB outposts coupled with my own observation that when I spend an hour in there and we kick butt (or get our butts kkicked) a few times, there always seems to be a shift after a series or wins/losses. It may have coincided with 3 hours, I do not know. --Karlos 14:24, 27 June 2006 (CDT)

Can the capitals be taken over? --Crasher 16:25, 11 July 2006 (CDT)


 * In theory it is possible, but do to the fact that the deeper into a territory, say the Kurzick territory, the battlefield maps change, giving the Kurzicks a greater advantage to win in this example. -Gares 16:59, 11 July 2006 (CDT)


 * If you're standing in HzH when the faction update takes place, you'll see Luxons attacking and the play-by-play commentator will announce "House zu Heltzer has been liberated!" which always cracks people up. So I guess it can happen. --Karlos 08:10, 14 July 2006 (CDT)

Changed calculation method?
I think they must have changed the way the border is calculated because there were some extreme border movements in the last days. --numma_cway 08:54, 18 August 2006 (CDT)


 * well, we already have the 'drift', and... if u have some really, really good organisation on one side, u get far, imo... and then is the event about em to come, theres a bit more focus on it... HJT 09:01, 18 August 2006 (CDT)
 * I know that in under three hours that I was out watching a movie, the Kurzicks managed to capture three towns. It was great to see Breaker Hollow in Kurzick hands, I screenshotted immediately. But it *does* show the border has been changing a lot more lately. --Sunyavadin 12:31, 19 August 2006


 * There can only be town captured at one border update. I watched and calculated it for the last 36 hours and everytime there was a border update one outpost was captured. --numma_cway 08:56, 19 August 2006 (CDT)

Weaponsmiths and Armor Crafters
I'm currently allied with the Luxons, and the Kurzicks control Leviathan Pits. Telamon (the weaponsmith) and Mikolas (the armour crafter) will do business with me, while Taryn (the merchant) and Nicodemus (the skill trainer) will not. Could someone aligned with the Kurzicks check if the weaponsmith and armour crafter will do business with them? -- Gordon Ecker 01:51, 19 August 2006 (CDT)
