Females should stear clear of this guild.

If you are a female, be very weary of joining this guild. The gm Caton aka Daruis aka Rhyss, hit on me all the time and made my gaming life very stressful. I tried to stay because I loved the guildies and we all had a very good time in the beginning. Then he got more aggressive and I got more stressed. I told him back when we were in Vindictive that I was recently widowed and not interested in a companion/relationship but I suppose he thought I would change my mind when he kept it up. It got so bad I was planning on leaving the guild the morning of the day I got gkicked. I decided I had had enough when he tried to force me to gkick 3 members of the guild because he didn't like one and the other 2 pissed him off. Meretrix he has been trying to get rid of since the other two switched servers and used calling Envy a douche as a reason to kick him but he didn't have the balls to do it so he tried to force me to but I refused. He tried also to force me to gkick Dovryn and Hamatyme because they didn't show up to the last raid we had. also because Dovryn didn't get onto TS3 the next day either so he said I needed to kick him. Said I needed to kick Hamatyme because he rage quit and came back through members and didn't speak to Caton first. Also because Caton said he will not tolerate Hamatymes attitude and pking anyone at all for any reason. I refused to do these things and he told me I needed to learn how to take orders and do as i'm told. Kept telling me I am a submissive and that he wanted to teach me stuff. Told me he was coming to my house and that alone freaked me the hell out cus I never ever told him where I lived except for the state, but he said he ran a business where he hunted people down and tracked people and that is how he knows where I live. Sorry but that is just way too creepy for me and I don't want to be around someone that makes me feel so stressed out. I do think the guildies are worth a shot though, all for a couple of exceptions they are awesome people.

Pystoff.

P.S. don't give the site or ts money cus you will lose it just as I did when the pervert kicked me.

The main issue with our taking a castle from someone else is we have a dearth of mages in the guild. We need to have at least 50 people with maxed out Sorcery/Occultism + heroic cloth/plate in order to have a shot at winning sieges. AoE CC & Damage wins sieges. We can get there eventually, but for now I don't think we should even worry about trying to do sieges and just roam around having our fun by annoying pubbies.

That's exactly my point. How we arrived at the conclusion of "we can't win a castle siege fight, so let's build our own" is what boggles my mind. By the time goons would be viable to defend a castle, we can take one of our own, and it will be a way funner path than "fish for X hours and funnel all the materials to one guy" like the plan was.

This whole thing is even funnier when you consider that a few people are probably NOT getting kicked and are therefore reaping land harvests as we speak since there are no housing limits.

Yeah, no offence to Minti or the guys who have enough land to plant 108 cedars at a time, but escalating taxes obviously aren't enough to keep people from being greedy land hogs. As it is there is no reason not to drop a cottage where ever you see space, and decide later if you want to use it or just sell it off.

In good areas even 8x8s can have a few people camping them when they are demolished. One guy grabbed one near my 2 8x8s and immediately sent me a mail offering to sell it to me for 100 gold. LOL.

Reports are saying land is being bought instantly, on multiple plots at once, due to hackers. Like, not even a second. Instantly.

Some dude screenshotted someone selling 10 Large Farms in Auroria on the main forums.

Seriously, anyone expecting to actually drop land should just let go of that dream and accept that you will have to buy a plot with gold to access a feature you paid real money to have.

When the first castle went up all the land was gone within 5 minutes. It is possible that all the lucky people used all their scrolls on land in the first couple castle regions, possibly leaving a bit of land in the very worst parts of the last region . . . but I wouldn't count on it. Especially since it looks like very many people weren't able to get online at all, so there will be a huge rush for any remnants when Trion fixes their poo poo.

You can make an alt, place the 16x, throw it up for sale to your main, delete and repeat. Or cottage.

How the Disconnection ruined Valor[Aranzeb] chances at a Castle.
Hello, my name is Cyruc and I am the Guild Leader of Valor. We are a large guild that plays on Aranzeb West and this is our story.

We have spent the last 2 months preparing for Auroria, getting guild miners, taking donations for a guild set of battle potions for every single player attending Auroria launch. We had spreadsheets, and check lists and tons of work. My players put their heart and soul into the preparation.

We got the Purifying Archeum pack crafted quickly and moved out to secure a location in calmlands. We sailed all the way out to the edge of Calmlands and about 2 mins from the lodestone I was dc'd from the server. I was carrying the pack and could not log back into the servers for about 40 mins. Meanwhile I sat in teamspeak while 30 mins after I disconnected Calmlands followed by Nuimari was taken.

My guild was robbed of their chance to claim a castle. No words can describe how angry I am.
All that work, 2 Months of prep. Countless kills in Echeloch, all those potions. GONE FROM FAULTY SERVERS.

Trion, respectfully I have lost faith in you and the game that you push. The moment that people could not log in servers should have been shut down. The lack of response from Trion is absolutely horrid, and pretty much has made me question why I even play this game.

Too Man-up, and Treachery, and All of my wonderful people in Valor I am truly truly sorry.

A video will be uploaded showing the entire process and the despair of having to watch victory ripped out of your grasp.

Ollo was depressing. East faction could have easily claimed at least 2 spots but 3 large Eastern guilds decided to pull some bullshit on the others and then proceeded to then lose their own packs like retards. East was outnumbered so goddamn bad that we needed cohesion to get anything.
