Q: Regarding Darkness Falls – what if the keep score is tied?

A: Good question. Okay. Servers go live with the dungeon. Let’s say your server is evenly tied, seven keeps each. Then Hibernia takes one extra from Midgard. The Hibbie portal opens. The Midgard forces immediately react and take it back. The score is back to seven all – but the Hib portal is still open. You have to have*more* keeps than the other two realms to open the portal, but you have to have *fewer* keeps than one of your enemies for the portal to close. Did that make sense?

So, the score is seven all, but the Hibs are inside and more entering. The Mids still have a force assembled from taking back their stolen fort, and go over and take one from Albion. Now Midgard has more keeps, and Hibernia’s portal closes. Midgard’s portal opens, and the hordes rush in.

As you can see, the only time a tie score results in three closed portals is right after a server comes up from a reboot.
