Why is Alde/Nontrans Castles There?

[Pistis_Sophia]

If you dont own a catle, why would you need to suddently recall as a strategy?

And if you own a castle, why bother gearing to attack non-trans castle leaving your castle defenseless?

We are talking about a case where a guild holds one castle and sends part of its force off to attack alde on the side. If they suddenly have a large scale attack on their other castle then of course the guild is going to recall to defend. What other scenario would call for a guild to split its forces?

Of course a guild isn't going to leave it's castle defenseless. That's where the argument that guilds should split their force between alde and trans WoE falls apart. There is a decent balance with trans WoE at this stage and if one guild were to attempt to split its forces between trans and non trans WoE, this balance falls apart and said guild essentially shoots itself in the foot. That's the problem so many people have with the way Alde is setup at this stage. Giving Alde it's own time slot solves that issue.

EDIT: Even with the increased char limit (which really doesn't affect anything since people only require 2 chars to go between trans and non trans WoE) people cant seamlessly go between trans and non trans WoE as both characters will be useless in the wrong situation (trans cant enter alde, non trans serves next to no purpose in trans WoE).

It is what I don't want to give... the opportunity for the same bunch of people to defend 2 castle, one at a time.

If you are defending a high eco on your trans castle, why do you even bother attacking other castles? Anyway, there are plenty of other guilds looking for a castle (3 opened castles for how many guilds?) that can rather choose to attack Alde than a trans castle if it was worth it.

And if it's a non-trans and you don't want to be recalled on that character, then it's a little additionnal protection for them. The same protection applies from Alde to trans castles. If Bamboo gets recalled to Alde then they have to log-off their trans and then use their non-trans. Or they just been "useless" with their non-trans in the trans WoE. This handicap goes both ways and you just seems to forget it.
