View Full Version : The "Alfar Condition"
Jhael
03-19-2009, 10:48 AM
After a week of playing alfar, I found that I couldn't get into the mindset that most of the people playing alfar had...and by most I would say 98%. I wanted some comradery, but I think alfar are decendants of goblins, and would literally eat their own young. I have never seen so much griefing or just random murder....ever. Not saying its a bad thing, but wow, and I mean wow. Life as an alfar in the beginning is hard, for example: I would be fighting a dwarf or human just outside our city and as soon as my hitpoints got below half, I became the target!! some people actually stopped killing them and turned on me because they knew the dwarf was naked. Alfar are hard core, they are more interested in trying to jump in front of your swing or missle, just trying to get you to turn grey. They hit you at the bank trying to get you to respond.
I rerolled a elf. Some idiot starts jumping in front of my buddies attacks, and then starts attacking him, we know its intentional and immediately switched targets to the idiot. Problem is that the rest of my team now starts to defend their unknown race teammate with heals or a rez. Guarantee to NEVER see that on alfar side, let me repeat....never. Got jumped at the bank by some humans and actually had people trying to help me and even try to revive me. You will NEVER see taht on alfar, when your laying there on the ground yelling "help me"; to an alfar character, that is the sound of the dinner bell. All drop what they are doing and rush to you to fight over your loot, and if you don't die or are not dieing fast enough, they will probably finish you off just so they can get started looting your warm body.
And now, I truely do hate the alfar race and will go out of my way to kill them, it adds to the story line and I actually have reason to hate having been wronged and anally violated repeatedly by that race in a previous life.Some parts snip-snipped.
Personally I stopped caring because I started to become that "eat thy young" kind of person but nevertheless it's still very very very crude here (Alfar lands).
I can actually add a tiny story myself to this already perfect description.
Some newbie alfar was killing goblins, got swamped by them. Died. So I figured why not resurrect the poor noobling. Boy was I wrong. I got griefed (didn't let rest, single hits to avoid 2 minute grey, didn't let fight mobs) for approximately a whole hour by someone who did nothing to get that noobling alfar killed. If he/she would have been responsible for the nooblings death I wouldn't have cared and would have ignored the whole situation. Not that I'd mind that much now, but the person was actually willing to waste that much of his/her time just to get back for resurrecting an alfar he/she had nothing to do with? Come on!
Anyway, what's your take on the "alfar condition"? (Alfars or ex-Alfars only please because this doesn't concern anyone else.)
Jhael Zalazar, Alfar.

It's fun. Using a community to describe Alfar is not a good way to do it.Everything is fine unless you show weakness, do something someone does not like, happen to be wearing something extra shinny, or some random person decides to kill you for no good reason. I've missed this kind of underhanded backstabbing playstyle. It makes everyday something new and dangerous even when i'm in the racial area.
From what i've seen Alfar are also the most hardened players against greifing. I throw a person into the acid in full gear, a mount, and 700 arrows and i get a message saying "Nice shot". I have yet to have a single Alfar bitch over killing them.

I've found that alot of mahirims are the same way, sometimes myself included.
When you hear someone die, you can be sure that there are already 10 people running to the corpse ready to loot, but that's just the way it is.
Once when we were fighting mirdain on mounts outside of town, I was shooting at their mounts trying to impair them, but without knowing it some Mahirim had stolen a mount and I shot him - 8 people stood around me, just waiting to loot, when all I did was do my best to kill our enemies. The point is, shit like that happens. I know I have looted many inocent mahirims too :P

It depends on how I feel at the moment, as alfar. There have been several times when ive gone out to goblins, kill a few things, find the guy thats quickest to arrive at the graves and quickest to make off with loot, wait for an oppertunity, and bring them down, looting away merrily. Then there are other times where I will provide an oppertune res, had someone firing mm at thier feet while running, accidently nicked me, decided to res em since I was feeling nice at that time.
Then I went out and harvested harvesters.
I kind of wish there was a way to turn off racial alignment gain. I should be red by now but I keep having to kill our racial enemies too. bastards.

well for me its a big disapointment how most of the alfar threat each other.
i would have thought the communitie would grow closer to each other because of neing the only race that needs to hold of 5 other races.
sadly enough this is not the case it seems that people rolled alfar are all just wanna bee pk's that abuse the aligment system to not be in any risk for there murders. i swear that if the aligement system would work like in uo people would not just kill you because you are wearing a freaking ronbe and hood that is worth around 60g!

Well; This will make the Alfar tougher though. And it fits nicely in the lore.
In the end this will make the Alfar a force to be reckoned with, if they all get born into heavy PVP like that.

I've heard similar stories about the alfar, and I want to reroll one. Unfortunately that is not feasible at the moment, so I'm waiting on EU2/NA1. I think it is a unique experience worth at least trying.

I am an Alfar and it is horrid. For years I read and loved the stories of the harsh, infinitely evil Dark Elves. But nothing can prepare you for this existence. If you go rogue accidentally 10 people will stop what they are doing and use your body as a pin cushion. If your a murderer who dies god help you because at any given time there are at least 2 blues camping the chaos stone for easy alignment.
I accepted the harshness of this PvP world for what it was when I entered but as an Alfar its a whole new ball game. I am not a hardcore PvPer, I simply like it casually. And I have not yet decided what I want to be in this game but in all MMOs I am a social creature. I chat, hang out in the cantina, and help new players. I don't think I can do this as an Alfar.
Despite I would be disappointed in myself if I did, I might re roll. Because the simple fact of Alfar life is that the five other races will kill you on sight without mercy or hesitation. And each member of your own race would gladly kill you a thousand times if it meant he got just a single gold coin.

I love it - I am very happy with knowing I've made the right choice in picking a race.
Whether its washing fellow shiny brethren down with acid, boxing them in against a node in the wilderness, resting on a mountainside enjoying the sunset while listening to the hopeless cries of a naked, war-torn aflar (help me), being an Alfar is truly rewarding. I'd be so inclined to say that I enjoy killing alfar more than killin other races - maybe because there is something appealing to seeing that frail, blood soaked dark elf carcass lying on the ground.
Enough of the wall-o-text... Rejoice in hatred for all and each other Alfar brethren! Hoorah!

It's the same way in Mahrim lands. Between people trying to gank you because you got low on life to people abusing the flagging system, to people killing same race miners for their ore it's nothing but assholes there.
Back when I played UO ages ago, there was a time I was playing my bank thief character. I snooped someones pack and stole a large forge deed and ended up giving it to a guildmate. This was before people had lots of money and it seemed like there was a castle around every corner. Anyway, I felt bad for doing that because I really wasted a lot of people's time and energy. I still PK'd people but I never felt bad for taking the easily replacable stuff.
In this game however, I've tried to be nice to others of my race but no matter what I still get corpse camped, loot stolen, ganked when low on health or attacked when I am trying to mine. So if you can't beat em, join em. I will never feel a shred of sympathy for anyone I take advantage of in this game...ever.

The weird thing is that Alfar are nicer when they're in enemy lands, with others to kill. You'll find some Alfar wanting to group, Alfar helping you out in your fight with enemies (And ninja looting half your shit but ok) etc. I guess we just need something to kill.
well for me its a big disapointment how most of the alfar threat each other.
i would have thought the communitie would grow closer to each other because of neing the only race that needs to hold of 5 other races.
We're basically an alliance of our own. Doesn't 30% of the game play Alfar? We don't lack numbers.

I played Mahirim, Alfar and now Mirdain. The level of backstabbing and alignment abuse was comparable in Mahirim and Alfar lands. Mirdain are quite different - more righteous people willing to help there. Might soon change if more chaotic-evil personas like me roll as one of them! :sly:

You said only Alfar or ex-Alfar but you know what thats fucked up I have an opinion about the Alfar too and it relevant. I think that this is the way Alfar should be its one of the main reasons I didn't roll Alfar They are EVIL and don't care about anybody but themselves. If you play Alfar you should be ready and will to kill anyone (including Alfar) at anytime for no reason because I think thats there nature. In every book I have ever ready that has darkelves in it they are like this. I think it fits perfect with the lore of the world and I applaud the people that play Alfar for acting this way because its the way you should be. That being said Alfar are scum and deserve to die a horible death if you see me and have the privilege of meeting my blade I will kill you then revive you then kill you over and over and over again until you finally get away or I decapitate you. Nothing personal I HATE ALFAR.

03-19-2009, 04:28 PM
I think it's great. The sense of involvement, the uncertainty of seeing a pair of shulgans (or a few Alfar on foot) come over a ridge and thinking "will they pass me by, will they try to gank me, will they bump me and leave or will they be willing to coexist in peace as long as I don't flash my wad or get too low on health?" It's great, and makes me glad I rolled Alfar rather than some goody-good type. The kind of immature asshole who overruns you when you're harvesting and backs off as soon as you pull a blade though, that's bullshit. You want to interrupt my harvesting that's one thing, but man up and take your lumps if you do. None of this "smack the guy who's using a harvest tool, and run away when it turns into a pike" crap. Yeah, I might get my ass kicked for defending myself, but that's life (or not, as the case may be)
Coincidentally, I was watching Galaxy Quest on TV last night due to there being nothing else on at the time, and it struck me... We're really most like those little grey dudes that called on Gorignak. Perfectly willing to coexist under ideal circumstances, but show weakness and all you are is meat for the other meat eaters.

The Alfar ingame community is the embodyment of the Forumfall community, I would have it no other way.
Yes, people making others go grey for the kill is terrible but part of life, I had to start from scratch twice due to this: once as I accidentally went grey for the 2mins and once I was PKd by other Alfar.
I don't see the problem, it's a harsh world but if you learn the trade you survive.

It doesn’t seem that bad to me, Yes you perfectly described the “goblin spawn camps” but it seem to change as you get further out. First, Alfar don’t even wait for you to turn grey if they want to try and get your loot. If you get low on health with any stranger’s around you can count on being attacked.
Second, after a few weeks you will start to recognized names and clan names of player to enjoy the “live and let live attitude”
I got certain clans / players that I will attack on site no matter what , I also know the people/ clans that are not going to screw with you unless you start screwing with them.
To me it seems that there are about 25% of the race that are just overly active in their enjoyment of kill the noobs around towns because they cant kill anyone else. They leave a pretty sour impression of the race as a whole.

The choice of race in this game is a bit of a personality test. In each race you will find all kinds of player, but certain races appeal to certain kinds of personlality. And the personalities attracted to each race, suit the RP of that race. Alfar are vicious, evil backstabbing emo elves, Dwarves are stubborn, bear grudges and fight with each other alot. Wolves, act like wolves, everyone wants to be alpha, and the weak get eaten. Orks are brutal. Elves are wont to be nice to each other, save when they are being haughty, judgmental, and cruel. Humans, can be anything, and are mostly trying to extablish a giant zergy empire ( Hyperion ). Most of the folks in this game are RPing pretty hardcore, even if they don't think of it that way.

I laughed when I saw this. The last time I heard a "help me" by a major city (just outside akathos city limits) I ran for em. I sprinted there just to be met by 4 other people already at the corpse ready to attempt the loot. After they loot the see shiney me (this was before i went red) and proceed to all attack me for my loot! (they were all naked and I had scale on). I was able to escape cuz i had a mount/reagents on me. lol! I love alfar.

Alfar are just badass by nature.
First day you are born as one and venture out you'll get smacked the fuck up by your own kind.
You even won't be able to raid other races. So by the time you do manage to leave the Alfar lands you'll be a hardened pvp vet who doesn't take crap from no1 and kills everything that moves in his path.

I can assure you it's not. We all rolled Mahirim, to begin with, to get the clan city up. There was a fair amount of douchebagery going on but it is nothing like the crazyness of Alfar lands. The lengths people will go to to grief you is just...insane. As I found out when I did away with my dirty, ugly wolfman and rolled my proper race :P.

The Alfar would turn Drizzt into a bitch and then skin the cat.
We are clearly the chosen race who have been molded by the hands of our god to be the superior life form on Argon. It is a duty to weed out the weak among us and lay waste to all other races.
See even lore says that I should PK any and everyone i can while not turning red. I see less red Alfar then any other race for all of the infighting we do. I waste so much time fucking with people who fuck with me.
I had once i attacked an killed someone near the repeatable kobold quest. Just after i did 8 alfar from a guild came around a corner in the cave and 10+ people streamed out of the city when they heard the "help me" cry. I was at 40% stamina I knew there was no way i could run from 20 people so i relied upon alfar nature to keep me alive. I tossed on a shield and ran right at them all. I spent the next 2 minutes sprinting, blocking and jumping over peoples heads in a huge melee as everyone tried to get at me. Everyone was hitting everyone and anytime anyone turned gray for even 10 seconds people would turn on him. I ran out of stamina at the end and turned blue again with under 5% HP. No one would attack me though because everyone was still standing there trying to find someone to kill and i just walked away. Half of the people trying to kill me where at half life or less and i never swung a single blow. So much fun.

I'll post my "Alfar Experience". About an hour ago I was running around the Troll spawns but all the mobs were not spawning. Another Alfar was running by, probably doing the same thing. I had a feeling I could own her so I shot her with MM to bait her into attacking me and sure enough she went rogue after my own 10 seconds of being rogue were up. Well I killed her, took some leather armor etc, and about 10 seconds later two other Alfar attacked and ganked me. That's the world we live in ;)

Yes at first it was hard. There were very few helpful Alfars. But it doesn't matter to me anymore because I'm in a Human/Mirdain/Dwarf guild and we live in the dwarven lands now. My alignment has been 100 for about 3 days and I happily kill anyone that isn't in my guild, even if they are Alfar.
It is kind of tough having to resort to looking for a wilderness bank or ninja banking in someone's hamlet.
Also yea, gear basically means nothing to me now. I get killed and kill all the time. I just shrug it off when I get killed. Being an Alfar took out all the nerd rage in me within the first 2 days of playing this game.
Ok for my story.
Being an Alfar means that you are a free kill to anyone. Most Alfars don't care about alignment and all other races gain from killing you.
So I was in the dwarven lands yesterday after our guild outing. I decided to head over to a goblin spawn to grief some noobs and ran into two people mining. One of them was in a good amount of armor, some banded some chain. I waited till he sat down to rest before attacking, killed him looted just in time to see four or five noobs run at me from the goblins.
I said fuck it to the idea of running and decided to fight. About 5 minutes of jousting, mana to stam, heal self, and some more jousting I ended up killing three of them while the others ran off.
Thinking I was finally safe I ran and sat down in a bush to heal and regain stam. Only to see another group of 4 noobs running at me. That battle lasted another 5 minutes or so before I ran out of resin and was hacked down by their leafblades and shearblades.
Oh being an Alfar is never boring!

Alfar is about 70% (guess) players with huge pulsating egos.
Mostly just lesser type of people, slow or socially retarded.. Not sure.
Im going to try to explain it a little.
Like my guild.. My first day in vent (i started 2 weeks late) all I heard was half people being really 'BEST EVER EVER' since its a twitch game. Its all for fun though.. We bash each other and have fun duels/practice..
Now Alfar had alot of guilds trying to 'herd' players into their guilds. These players/guilds are encouraging the Alfar split, most of them where the ones starting trouble..
Finding a group was easy, even on day 1.
Problem is Alfar have alot of ego thick guilds (oddly enough they are not even factors in the big picture) who want to create this huge WE DONT LIKE EACH OTHER scenario..
When players get desperate, they join these guilds.. Then they just feed the fire in race chat.
Even now I see spam daily for non-PvP zerg guilds like BKB..
So the bottom line is most players wont pick Alfar because of the lack of any faction allies.
This makes guilds of people join Alfar.. With the intent on being PKs.
As some big PK guilds have come to realize, being PKs and not trying to find any sort of alliance...
Gets your city destroyed by a HUGE zerg of non-PvPers.

:lmao:You wish. They're gross bat things, instead. I'd call them Goblins before I'd call them "dark elves.":lmao:
Actually Alfar means dark elf it comes from a Scotish word used on some island in the hebrides I believe. It is not a made up word, anyone who has done any research into fairytales(horror stories for kids) would know this. Also the lore indicates that they are twisted versions of elves.
So STFU and GTFO my internet you ignorant fuck:bang:

Hate to be a party pooper but it's from the Norse word that simply means Elf.
Now that I think about it there is a Germanic variation on it as well.

Master Splinter is a rat. Mahirim are dogs. You have made an enemy this day.

The Alfar aren't stupid enough to roleplay, unlike Murder Herd

This game draws certain personalities. There are certain people that will take advantage or exploit at every opportunity and then think they're great. If someone beats them fairly, there's always an excuse.
What better race to choose than the smallest and hardest to hit for these people who are looking for every advantage and exploit they can find.

The Alfar are bloodthirsty and evil.
Worse yet, they're possibly the fastest fucking thing in the game.
