For those of us who were around long enough you will know what I am talking about.
Remember how keeps used to need the keep lord to be slain to capture the keep and there would be all of those guards outside patrolling? Would you prefer that back or when t2 releases just to keep things the way they were when the game ended, with only a flag and no npcs in the keep?

I thougt about this in the shower... I have a strong nostalgy for the old ones with keep lords and sharper teamwork in the warband. Good memories! <3

I also remember that 1 noob (or crossrealmer) pulling the wrong guy and make a full attempt fail. Also the BO cap and VP point was fail. Nice memories for defenders, bad memories for attackers. I vote wnewer system. Only oil should be harder to kill.

Yeah that one, haha. Most of those cases were an elf, dwarf or an magus as far as I remember!

Issues with the new system was knocking the door to find everyone left and just a flag to click. Wow EPIC.

The lords did give the underdog side much more incentive to stay.

I like the old version with the guards and Lord. Also the ability for a Guild to claim and upgrade the NPC guards. Now for a private server with a limited population the newer version would probably work better.

Old one... the specifics to things like whether there should be a Keep Lord and NPC's and upgrades and all that (and Guild ownership) is all fluff compared to having both Keeps in a realm capturable..

Having 2 keeps per pairing (original) is far superior and gives far more re-playability potential.. (IMHO).
