Don’t be a cop out

Wotcha everyone, “Let them win”. I hate that phrase.  It’s everything I hate about online PvP, rolled into one. When I play, I try to play as a good player.  It’s about being a good loser, as well as a good winner.  It’s about doing my utmost, even when I’m in a situation that’s beyond [...]

The battle at Spite’s Reach

Leading RvR raids is very different from leading PvE ones. All of your plans and goals are subject to change. Assuming that the other side come out to play, you will be keeping an eye on what they are doing and changing your plans on the fly. It is a very different proposition. I led [...]

Born to Rune

First, full acknowledgement to Terry Pratchett for the above pun (found in ‘Soul Music’ as far as I recollect). We’re just over a couple of weeks into WAR – how’s it going for you? Me, I made my little Rune Priest (Kaja) and I’ve been having both good and bad times stomping and kicking the [...]

Sexism and Swordmasters

I am so tired of hearing everyone tell me that our Swordmasters are girlish. It drives me nuts. Apparently some people have difficulty with the idea of a slender swordsman with long hair who wears a robe. Do they think martial arts Kendo practitioners look like girls too? I guess they’ve never seen pictures of [...]

Detaunt-tastic!

Wotcha everyone, I had occasion to leave my pc, and venture out into the world yesterday.  And whilst on the bus, I saw a little vignette that stuck in my memory. There was a cat sleeping on the downstairs window-sill of a terraced house, with an old lady unsuccessfully attempting to drag off a small, [...]

A talented bunch

We don’t talk too much about the guild here, it’s nice to give it a little privacy. But, there is one aspect I wanted to touch on, and that’s to give a quick shout-out to all the talented bloggers/web types we have in the guild with us. So, without further ado, here’s a list of [...]

Tier 3 Scenarios come in many flavours!

Tip for the day: For Tier 3 each racial area has two scenarios, not just one. Go to regular WAR symbol to get yourself in queue, and you’ll see arrows at the top, so you can scroll to each of them and join both queues. Also you can queue for them from rank 20 upwards. We’ve noticed [...]

Thanks GMs!

We’d like to take a moment to say thanks to the GOA GMs who did something great for one of our guildmates last week. In the great naming rush ’08, quite a few people selected the names they wanted as well as popular alternate spellings of such names. So we’re a week or two in [...]

Little links

Welcome to Rune of Blogging (Go Rune Priests!) and Da Best Plan.  If you are like us, you are probably trying to figure out what stats are best on gear for your character/s at the moment. Wizards and Wenches is here to help you out by running some numbers for a comparison on Wounds and [...]

First GrabBag! How do guilds and cities level?

The Grab Bag is Mythic’s name for the monthly Q&A/FAQ which they used to produce for Dark Age of Camelot. And they’re doing the same thing for WAR. This month they are answering some questions about how guilds and cities gain levels and whether having a lot of (inactive) alts in your guild will hold [...]
