Hello there!
My name’s Duke Witherheart. I’m a commander and for the past two months I have led a couple of very successful PvE campaigns over on my fantastic home server of Gunnar’s Hold (EU). The first was the splendid Strike on Southsun and the second was the marvelous March to Mount Maelstrom. Both events were hugely successful, with us actually hitting the hard overflow cap in our zones. Despite this, we managed to coordinate our rampage across the overflow server successfully and defeated the Megadestroyer.
Now I’m writing today to announce my next event: Fight for Frostgorge.
There’s no prizes for guessing the world boss target in this event. But surely the March to Mount Maelstrom proved that it’s not the destination that matters – it’s the journey.
EVERYONE IS WELCOME – SO LONG AS YOU CAN GET ONTO GUNNAR’S HOLD (EU).
Where and when do we meet up?
Black Citadel, 5PM (that’s GMT – so 6PM if you’re British) on Saturday the 26th! Just come to my commander tag there and then!
Never been there before? You can get there using the asura portal located in Lion’s Arch!
Do I need anything?
A positive attitude with the willingness to take on the world!
At the March… we ended up using the Gunnar’s Hold Mumble. Our server community is now on TeamSpeak and I’ll see if I can get access for the attendees for this event for the evening (no matter what EU server you’re guesting from).
As usual, we’ll be ending up in high level PvE zones, so bring a decent character.
Where are we going?
To Frostgorge Sound.
Yup – we are running from the Black Citadel to Frostgorge Sound. Once again, I have enclosed an attachment which is likely to be indicative of the route we’ll be taking. People enjoyed the novel format of the March to Mount Maelstrom, so this event is going to follow in the same suit.
What are we doing?
Killing the Claw of Jormag, amongst other things!
If the previous event is anything to go by, those ‘other things’ will consist of finding those great, underused events, conquering jumping puzzles and slaughtering champions. All while having a laugh together.
This will likely be a good opportunity for you to get basic world completion in the Plains of Ashford, Iron Marches, Fireheart Rise and Frostgorge Sound if you need it!
Do I need to do anything?
Not really – just turn up!
But it’d be nice if you could post in this thread to let me know if you’re coming. We had easily over 100 people turn up for March to Mount Maelstrom and caused an overflow server. Although we had a commander in the overflow, I do plan for things to be a little more organised this time with greater infrastructure – but we need to know to expect big numbers and one of the ways we’ll do that is by checking the posts here!
Please feel free to message me in-game on Duke Witherheart if you have any questions. Feel free to bring your friends but don’t worry if you come alone; we’ll have people to guide you on the night.
See the snazzy second attachment if you want to publicise the event yourself!
Please note!
Followers of my blog will know that I posted a retrospective ‘Lessons from the March to Mount Maelstrom’ shortly after my last event. The points outlined in that post are going to apply here – but I’m keeping the event on Gunnar’s Hold (it has a lowish population). Please ensure you are aware of what your local time is compared to GMT (it’s not the same as the current British time) but I still encourage folks to arrive early.
Remember that you can play with us even if you are not a native of Gunnar’s – so long as you’re in the EU. Click here for more information.
Hope to see you there!
