Hello to the World vs World community out there! Due to some forthcoming changes to the World vs World borderlands, I’d like to introduce our server, Vabbi [EU], and provide some information about our community to those that might not know about us yet.
I’ll start by stating the truth: Due to its low population, Vabbi is one of the weakest (if not the weakest) WvW realms in Europe. There is virtually no communication between our PvE and WvW guilds. Over the past few months, a few guilds from Vabbi were presented with a difficult choice: either to leave for better WvW servers, or to stay and build a community. A few guilds left, but the ones that remained are working hard, building the fine community that we have today.
Here is what has happened in the past few months on Vabbi:
• We have quite a few experienced commanders on Vabbi, but our presence on our home BL and EB is only during the daytime and early evening hours, ending at around 1-3am BST/GMT.
• For the past few weeks, we’ve been roflstomping zergs and blobs twice our size with smart thinking and good communication, despite the fact that our primetime isn’t terribly strong. We’ve got weekly Guild Raids that can take full control of a BL/EB during reset, and the day after as well. This provides a lot of free loot bags, and an experience that many Vabbi players haven’t seen in almost a year. This is mainly due to guilds going pure PvE or even worse, leaving our server.
• We never have queues for WvW.
• We’ve got a community Teamspeak, now with dedicated Guild Channels in multiple languages, and a community site with dedicated guild forums.
• Tier 9 server – We can’t go any lower, but we’ve always tried to fight our way out. With the fall of Whiteside Ridge, we were awarded the Blue Borderlands for a week, and everyone got to finish map completions. Great success for Vabbi!
Current large WvW Guilds on Vabbi:
• Warriors Vabbi [WvW] – Russian
• Lightning Strikes Twice [LST] – English
• Only For Soldiers [OFS] – English
• Les Zélateurs De Zaun [LZZ] – French
Small Guilds & Roaming Guilds:
• Luna Eclipse [LNA] – English
• Troublesome Tea [TEA] – English
• Vabbi Dream Team [DT] – English
Neither I, nor my guild, can speak for the whole of Vabbi. But in general, our server is focused on small-scale fights and capping. It’s for the sake of trying to hold our own. On the weekends, we look for action and rarely care for PPT.
With the upcoming changes to the BLs, and the Leagues feature just around the corner, Vabbi is going to be a pushover. However, this will not stop Vabbians from playing. We will still meet every opponent on the battlefield despite being grossly outnumbered. We’ll still fight for our server. We will fight for what we know is right, and we will take what is ours, or die trying. What we don’t take now, we will always flip later.
In closing, to anyone that is thinking about coming to join our nice little server, Vabbi, we need your help! Even if it’s just for a week, you’ll be welcomed with open arms, and be given a nice farewell if you choose to leave.
We are Vabbi! We’ll meet you head-to-head!
Hoooraaah!
