ACK! Sorry for not posting...

...but so much has been happening the last few days.

Let's start with the small stuff. (You'll see why it's the "small stuff" when I get to the "big stuff")

Fost has decided that he has too much IRL stuff going on to really run the guild effectively (which I can understand) and has passed the reigns to me. Soooo basically I'm the broad-in-charge of Cry Me a RvR now... and just as this happens, the "big stuff" hits.

Iron Rock was opened for server transfers... INCOMING server transfers. And I don't know why or how, but two entire servers worth of people transferred, as a group, to Iron Rock over the last few days.

This means a few things.

1. The need to organise. Fast. We spent the last couple months playing against superior numbers of highly skilled Order... and now the odds are more even. Fortunately, the new Destro brought a lot of high RR skilled players who were already organized... which only makes us stronger.

2. This now makes Iron Rock a High/High population server, which means lag lag lag... CRASH in large scale battles. Hopefully Mythic will fix this soon before too many people get frustrated enough with it to leave. We need a server upgrade... pronto.

3. Epic RvR battles. I have never seen huge, crazy clashes like the last two nights. SC pops have been constant even to the early morning hours.

4. Order complaining they're now outnumbered, which is a gross exaggeration of course. (Full/Full means just that, guys... unless you're all on your T1 alts at prime time, in which case you're idiots. :) ) Oh, and fighting a defense capped fort?? Amazing fun. :D

We have seen the streets of Altdorf twice in two days. Both nights we capped all three zones to forts and Order could not seem to divide their defense enough to hold us off. Their defense seemed to be a bit aimless, with people all trying to rush to forts, noone bothering to patrol the roads, no groups camping our WC... nothing... plenty on the border of the fort areas, though, getting ported back to their camp over and over. Was fun farming them for those of us too late to get in to storm the castle.

Overall, I think this change is good for Iron Rock. The Destro is great. Organized, friendly, and driven by a desire to kill Karl Franz, which is EXACTLY the adrenaline shot we needed.

Miz V out!
