I would imagine that levels will make a difference in a battle to capture a capital city, so it might help if you aren't an alt-aholic.

I'd move the army to the front gates, block it up, and totally wtf pwn the other army!
Think 300!
THIS IS DESTRUCTION/ORDER!

Guys! I'm hopelessly lost in a mountain of mole hills! Them damn moles!
Just come back over and over and kick some order butt
city siegeing isnt for low lvl, its the end game. Thats like going into MC at lvl 40.
You arnt supposet to be there, you have your own PVP tiers to fight w/e lvl you may be. which impact the city sieging just not directly.
Use guerrilla tactics with my 5 friends and I all playing Shadow Warriors.

Well my point was if you're always making alts you won't ever get to the end game.
I will impale myself on my own sword
I take it that just like DAoC, you can't talk to the enemy, so there won't be any trash talking, right?
I don't know if that will be an option, but in DAoC you could suicide by jumping off a really tall building.
Erm.... QQ?
Ive never play RvR before so i dont know how it will turn out. And that the dev said that for the losing side more resource will be given to them to overcome and defend their city.
I really dont know... but i will forever play on the Destrutuion side...

This has been the *only* answer to this question so far and that doesn't even seem to apply to losing the campaign on the way to your city. There's nothing yet that seems to indicate the strong side won't just keep getting stronger while the weak scurries around in the shadows.
So far I think their only *real* reply has been that they're gonna cap the sides in some way.
In all seriousness, if their Tug of war loses ground where one side clearly becomes stronger the whole concept basically fails. Very curious to see how that'll work out.
I'd get togethr with my guild and any guild allianced with us and discuss options for better on the field movement besides search and destroy like Lure and massacre or HIde n Seek kill em all lol.
Nice job OP, interesting poll question. Finally a poll representing all aspects properly unbiased. I did choose fight harder to capture. I then started thinking about it a bit further. I believe I would defend alot harder too. Trying not to allow being captured also. Work for realm leadership collaboration and effecient teamwork operations. I definitely will not cry about it or retreat to another realm.
In all likelyhood being captured 3, 6, or even 9 times consecutively seems possible to me regardless of possible systems getting involved to turn the tide. If the opposing realm is organized, dedicated, and communicating better than my affiliated realm is, than they deserve the glory of victory. I will not give up seeking our victory either!
I will not debate or even slightly speculate imbalance. That obviously changes the discussion and negates the info we have.
Def. gonna cry like a little girl.

If they implement a cycle schedule your city would probably be capped only once before they switch to the Dwarf/Elf capital.
--------------------------------------
A human and an Elf get captured by Skaven. The rat-men are getting ready to shoot the first hostage with Dwarf-made guns when he yells, "Earthquake!" The naturally nervous Skaven run and hide from the imaginary threat. He escapes. The Skaven regroup and bring out the Elf. Being very smart, the Elf has figured out what to do. When the Skaven get ready to shoot, the Elf, in order to scare them, yells, "Fire!"
Order of the White Border.
Yep , this about sums up my answer to the question.
So if your side loses its capital you will.......fight harder, defend harder, try not to let your capital get captured (even though you just lost it), work with your team and try and be efficient.
I'm glad you started thinking about it a bit further because thats some really amazing tactics you came up with there.
Also you say that if the other team wins lots then its because they are playing better so they deserve it more.......well thats pretty insightful too. It wouldnt have occurred to me actually so thanks for pointing that out.
Finally you say you will not give up seeking victory......as opposed to what? Seeking defeat?
I hope I'm on your side in WAR because with your tactical mind we cannot lose.
Thats why we need the six cities to start with!.
Lets say for example you are "Order" and you are gonna attack The Inevitable City. You manage that after a couple of weeks. Now you look for other options.
The Campaign on the High Elves/Dark Elves look even, about 50%/50% on the tiers, but on the Dwaren/Orc front it look pretty bad. If somebody are not gonna help the dwarfs, then the Orcs will soon lay a siege on Karaz-a-Karak. So here are the option for you:
A) Restart the campaign against chaos and lay a other siege at The Inevitable City, lol.
B) Gather you member and rush to aid the dwarfs before they can mount a seige on Karaz-a-Karak (Maybe some of you team member play dwarf class and whining 24/7 that you "need" to aid/help them).
C) Start planning a fresh and new seige in different land, maybe its a challenge for you.
In Warhammer Online there "Living Cities" and then will prosperous if the campaign goes well. Lets say it was me there just pillage The Inevitable City. Then Altdorf will gain a new rank, open up for news quest, gear etc at Altdorf. But you also need item, gear, standard etc. from the other cities at some point. Maybe there a mighty Axe there dropping only from the boss in The Inevitable City. Thats cool. But there is also a nasty helmet I need and that is only dropping in Fist of Malekith. Okie, thats gear, but I also wanna a title to become famous. I wanna be the "Grand Slayer of Greenskins and other things" and you can only get that title by doing some serius business in the dwarf/orc campaign. Maybe you can get a big standard to aid you guild in combat if you aid fight of a siege.

So there is plenty of reason to attack/defend other cities in Warhammer Online. Problems is, there is only two, when the game launch!!.
To all....
What will happen if you lose 12 times in a row....
Is that it? Is this the end game ? Have a city siege ? every 15 days or so ?
Nice.
Strange, I always thought RvR was already beaten 4 years ago... as a valid end game option.
Curious.
Blame it on destructions overpowered racials... what? someone had to say it.
In a way it prepares some of us that are new to RvR for when the other 4 cities come out. Let the guilds get organized, teach the newbies the fundamentals of RvR and then when the next two come out we will be ready to take them on. Organization is the number one thing we need to focus on at launch. With 6 cities...that would be tough to do.

How does this change anything? They're all three "your city"'s.
Also, the biggest problem i had with the 3 way realm fight is that it "seems" to give options for different fighting fronts so maybe distractions etc but in the same breath they always kept telling there'd be nothing like "ninjaing" keeps etc, those things take work and I assume the rest of the battlefield does too.
So if everything takes time, what's the chance you can actually switch fronts and do some havoc to really do some damage? Especially if they have relatively quick travel (which people seem to keep asking for) then what's the point of 3 fronts to begin with if people can show up to defend something before you get it anyway? All strategic value is lost at that point.
With a 3-4 week fight to the capitol there is no such thing as frightful losses on other fronts if you don't happen to be there for a day or 2 if you're stronger already. You can make an easy all out push with your realm when you get close to the enemy capitol and not have to worry about your own capitols.
This is already assuming, since you're winning anyway, that you're not overpopulated compared to the other side so who knows perhaps you even have enough people there while keeping up the assault on the city already and even if you don't, you're already winning so probably you're stronger so once you're done with that capitol all you need to do is run over and kill those weaklings before they get to your city.
I still say that with knowing what we know so far the game relies *heavily* on balance between the sides, very heavily so I hope they have something else up their sleeve to aid balance or mix results.
Ummm......why are people going on about hopping from one city to the next? There are gonna be thousands of players involved in this game. Weeks or even months are gonna pass where players are simply doing quests in the PvE and PvP zones before capital cities even become open to a siege. The chances of both cities being open to attack at the same time is gonna be remote and even more unlikely once all 6 cities are implemented.
I also find it funny how people are waffling on about tactics when they havent even played the game yet. How can any of you know what is going to happen in a game that hasnt even been finished yet? I love the way you're all trying to enact it all out on these forums. Oh so you know one side is gonna be better off than another do you? Just because you've read the information that Mythic has fed to you and weighed it all up in your expert tactical minds? When the game actually comes out and people start playing I bet it wont be anything remotely like what is being said on this thread.
I don't know if that will be an option, but in DAoC you could suicide by jumping off a really tall building.
If it isnt an option then I will do it in real life
