Stockade Posted a Blog: Server Maintanance
We all know it's needed but it still sucks when the servers go down for a few hours a week in games like this. I had just found a nice warband in Tier 2. Destruction was harassing us nicely for some great influence and then... the server shut down *sigh* Oh well, perhaps tonight or tomorrow morning I can find another good group again. Here's hoping!

Korzak Posted a Blog: Life with No Purple
Korzak Ironweaver turned RR 80 on Saturday, and after the long grind, I can say that it was quite a bit of fun, and a nice achievement to have. I've already caught myself midflight heading to zones to 'catch the flip', even though it doesn't benefit my character. It is nice, however, to not be concerned about hanging out on a BO or Keep to catch the renown. So what have I been up to since getting Korz to 80? Well, I've got a couple alts already at 40 that I need to work on, my Engineer Tuhb (my original main, for those of you who've been aroudn that long) and my Rune Priest Lorkig...

Stockade Posted a Blog: Into the Tier 2
Well, I've started into Tier 2 and things are a lot different. The first thing I noticed was how quite it is here. Not the huge group of people running around and while I've joined a couple of war-bands there are not as many in the RVR area. On an upside, the teams in scenarios seem a little more knowledgeable about what to do… well, not sure if this is an upside as I feel like a complete newb! In the RvR area, the few warbands I find seem very interested in capturing the objectives instead of simply standing at the destruction entrance and ranging them...

Stockade Posted a Blog: First Entry
Well, I'm new to the game and found this guild called Gaiscioch that people very much recommended and here I am! Hope to join in on those guild activities very soon! It's been a learning experience for sure, I usually play a healer in MMO's and started that way in Warhammer. I did pretty well, ended on the top of most healing charts but to to some add-on frustrations I dropped my healer. Tried some melee and ranged DPS and let's just say I didn't perform as well and it was more of an embarrassment to play as them than it was fun...

Craythur Posted a Blog: Craythur's first blog or How I became a Bemused Gamer
So I thought I'd give this blog thing a try. Where to start eh? I suppose a first blog should be some sort of introduction. It's only fair that readers know just what sort of fractured mind is behind all this. Let's run with that. If you read this and are remotely interested in reading more let me know in game. How I became a Bemused Gamer by Craythur. A group of friends introduced me to my first MMO World of Warcraft two months after it's launch. I played it happily for a few years. I was an end game raider before ZG, AQ, and the original Naxx came along...

Gamdrin Posted a Blog: Joining Gaiscioch and my first family event
I had an awesome time last night in the t2 raid. I started out playing in a guild called MORTALIS on one of the RvR servers. I stayed with them until the server fell because they were the only ones I could find that had the level of organization I was looking for. Now that I'm back in WAR, I'm pumped that I could find a guild that's EVEN BETTER. The best times in ORvR is when everyone get organized and works as a team. You guys have brought the game back to life for me. I can't wait to participate in more events with you guys, and to get to know you all some more...

Korzak Posted a Blog: I Wrote a Guide!
I've been saying that I should write up a guide for RvR tanking since I was RR 65 or so, and now that I'm just shy of 80 I've finally taken the time to put down what I think are essentials for a tank, and then tagged on some of my opinions as well. Hope ya'll find it useful, and don't be afraid to ask me if you've got questions about it, or to point out any errors. Speaking of being just shy of 80... wow. I didn't ever honestly believe I'd be in this position, but here I am. And you know what? I'm not looking forward to it at all...

Korzak Posted a Guide: The Tank - An RvR Essential
The Tank – An RvR Essential Guide and Opinion by Korzak Tanks are an integral part of any RvR group, providing a strong front line to a party as well as aiding in damage and protecting less hardy allies. All tanks have several core abilities that allow them to assist their groups, as well as specialized abilities and attacks that make them more than just a hard target to kill. The question has arisen, occasionally, as to what separates a good tank from a bad one in RvR, and while the answer may seem clear cut to veteran tanks, it may not be so apparent to newer players...

Evesong Posted a Blog: Earning my Wolf Pack Skills
So I decided that I was just going to go ahead and start something to get the 10 required SCs/Bos/etc to complete my wolfpack training. Set up an event for tonight and posted a forum thread about it, hoping to entice a few people out so I could lead them to 10 stunning victories and finish my training. So, I logged in, found some Tuatha peeps running around in T4 and invited them to party. We followed the zerg around, ganking stragglers (if you've never tried that, do it... it's HELLA fun)...

Jayluray Posted a Blog: New Character choice - White Lion or Witch Hunter
Hi all! I love my Bright Wizard but I have a new friend starting and I want to move up alittle in the melle department and try a melee DPS.

Profyle Knuckels Posted a Blog: We are the Pride of Magnus!
The Magnus was a powerful family that had been infiltrated by foreign myths and lore of what family should be. As one blood line of the family began to infect the rest of the family only 2 blood lines of the family remained uninfected. Those two families fought hard and down to the last drop of blood when a pack of lions who knew what true family was showed up on the battle field. Lead by a leader who only knew about family and had no standards just pride in what they could accomplish. The leader of the pack of lions Told the leaders of the Magnus I will show you our pride and we will forever be a family after this...

Boondoc Posted a Blog: Fearless Bright Wizard Experiment (Hey I'm going to die anyways)
Still really new to game so this has probably already been done and I just don't realize it. BUT it's a tad slow at work and I want to blog about it! Been playing for a few weeks now, leveled 90% in RvR and scenarios so I quickly learned to fear anything with an Axe or Sword running at me when in a PUG scenario. So I would run, and die. Then it finally dawned on me last week in a scenario, might as well just hurt them some first before I am stomped down. So now, unless I know I can get away...

Seabhran Posted a Blog: Finally got my beautiful elven Sword and my PassWatch Bow...
(By the honor of the Empire... I am Seeeeeeeabhran) LOL After a lot of great battles at Elf and Empire T3 fronts, finally got my PassWatch bow and Qhaysh Falcata (I'm not sure if that's the right name, but its a beautiful and powerful sword nonetheless). I'm probably saying goodbye to T3 with Seabhran now, but i would like to thank all the family members that fought at my side in these last days. I hope to meet you all again in the battle for T4. Blessed Be.

Clanorton Posted a Blog: order of the broken sword
The Order of the Broken Sword The Order of the Broken Sword formed after a band of local freelance knights led by Dott Barthos gathered together to go after a marauding band of Chaos Beastmen. In recent months, these Beastmen terrorized and pillaged several local farms. Their last raid left three entire families slaughtered, a missing farmer's daughter, and three mutilated cows. Something had to be done. The Knights tracked the Beastmen through the twisted forest to their camp and then readied themselves for battle...

Seabhran Posted a Blog: Not bad for a second time leader...
I'm very tired from the long battle, but i need to share it with you... We had a great campaign today at T3 Elf and Empire. First, we took almost everything, and then we kept chasing the forces of Destruction back and forth to demoralize them. We had more than 20 victories (sad thing I can't record them yet! But we had some ranked family members at the WB. Maybe they can help me with that, right?). The most amazing thing was... even when we were defeated now and then, people won't leave the Warbands...

Stean Posted a Blog: Armyn in the Dunes
We moved swiftly through the dune, our mounts leaving whirling dervishes of sand in our wake. Thirteaight blazed a trail. His helmeted head swiveling to and fro, sharp eyes merely slits in his armor, on the lookout for signs of the enemy. We were well beyond the safety of the walls and they had already struck at us twice before as we raided a bandit camp in the shadow of a large dune. Viktre rode to on his right always watching in the direction he was not, yet sometimes it seemed as if her eyes lingered just a moment longer at her companion...

Seabhran Posted a Blog: The taste of victory (against all odds)
Today I led my first campaign against the forces of Destruction. It all started as a small Warband, little more than a simple group, led by someone else. We took some battle objectives in the Imperial T3 front before the former leader left us, leaving me on command. Having barely half Warband around me, we kept on with the guerilla campaing until we hit the tower just west of Passwatch Castle. It was then that the men started to rebel against all leadership and decided to act by their own ideas, spreading around the field and engaging in unorganized skirmish against the forces of Destruction...

Seabhran Posted a Blog: Some (passionate gaming) tales by the fire...
I have a long history with gaming. Since the days when the first Ataris made their way into Brazilian market, and into my living room, I fell deeply in love for the simple concept of playing all by myself in a fictional scenario provided by a machine. To make a very long story a little shorter, with the dawn of the MMORPGs I discovered it was much better not to play all by myself. I've played Runescape (http://www.runescape.com) for almost 2 years before giving up to the colorful lure of World of Warcraft...

Foghladha Posted a Blog: oRvR Leadership Series: Commanding the Public Group (PuG) Part 3: Thinking in Multiple
The biggest misconception with Public Groups is that they lack organization and unity. Typically this is assumed and is largely due to the frequent lack of leadership in the battlefield. Taking your 24 man enterprise warband and turning it into a 100+ man warforce is no easy task. Without help you will suffer from some of the age old problems that so many PuG herders before you have fallen victim too. 1. Un-Unified Leadership With each warband being led by someone you don't know and have no lasting relationship with you never know if they will have your back...
