What constitutes a Keep Defense?

Nukeyak

Maybe this question is dumb, but I understand what constitutes capturing a keep. Another alliance controls it and my side fights for it and gets it and now it's controlled by my side. And I get alliance points for this.

But a defense, what exactly is that? If I'm in a keep and kill one kamakazi guy charging it, do I get credit for a Keep Defense? Is that the same amount of points for a two hour epic battle for a keep with hundreds of players?

Or come to think about it, say I show up at the end of one of theses epic battles, kill one guy and then we finally capture the Keep. Do I then get the same points for a capture for my one minute of effort vs those guys fighting for hours?

Naturally I understand you get points for each enemy killed, I'm just asking on how points are determined when a keep changes hands.

You get the same points if you get credit for the key defense and you are in the area. If you are "apart" of it which I am not 100% how that is defined, you get the same tick if you near enough to the keep as everyone else. The point total is based off how crazy the fight was. I don't recall one person creating a "defense tick" but I could be wrong.

Actually this makes a lot of sense. I thought each defense or capture yielded same amount of points, excluding credit for individual kills.

the more people attack the bigger the tick.
