Threeway Battles, or more...

I was wondering about the possibility for multiple parties to engage eachother in AoC.

From what I understand big battles like Sieges of Nodes or Castles will consist of Attackers and Defenders, but given the factionless nature of the game, it seems reasonable that combat between various guilds for instance ends up resembling a free-for-all with multiple involved forces all with their own aims and interests.

My question is how is this actually viewed. The unpredictability of a fight being 'added on' by a previously uninvolved party is one of the thrills that made DAoC's RvR for instance so amazing.

Or are all the organised battles such as Guild wars, Caravan fights and Sieges consist of Instanced events?

My assumption would be that the more of this experience debt you have, the greater this penalty will be - but that is an assumption on my part.

You are correct.

Corruption penalties occur as the corruption is gained.[10] The higher the corruption score:

The more skill and stat dampening applies (lower health and mana, lower gear proficiency), until the corrupt player ultimately becomes ineffective at combat.[11] This dampening only affects PvP combat.[12]
The higher chance of dropping of carried raw materials and gear (Weapons and Armor) when the corrupted player dies.[8][13][/i]

Ah, but this is experience debt we are talking about here, not corruption.

I do assume that aspect of it works the same, though to my knowledge that has never been verified.

If someone were to ask that in a Q&A at some stage, it would also be interesting to see if the penalties from corruption and experience debt stack, as they are both fairly similar penalties, though one applies to everything, and the other only applies to PvP.

You can most likely expect to see 3 way fights at world bosses occasionally at the very least.

Your right, my bad. I assumed a while ago that corruption and death penalties run off the same system with different multipliers because they list the same effects. However, I don't know of it being officially confirmed either.
