Guild Wars 2

we made up a 10k points leeway to #1 in just one day. Fighting spirit is great and we are still well known for our “nasty tactics” as you can read in the matchup threads.
So if you wanna be part of those nasty tactics join our ranks to fight for Far Shiverpeaks.

;) we going Up in this week …. Thx All for good fight & fun …

Tier 6 here we come (again)!

I must say Kudos to BloS this night, it was amazing running with u guys. Just awesome seeing your guild with so many players at reset.

Although my original post has not achieved the objective of getting a major alliance to move to Far Shiverpeaks, in some ways this has been a blessing in disguise, as it has allowed the server to develop and evolve it’s tactics, coordination and communication. Numbers have stabilised and we now have queues in 3 of the 4 battlefields, compared to 2 when I made the original post.

It has been an honour and a privilege to see how this server has dealt with the worst excesses of server hopping, and to see that our ranking has moved up for the first time in 18 weeks. We have finally turned the corner. In the last 3 weeks WvW has been fun, which is what the game should be.

As server hopping is about to end, now really is the time to join a server that really is on the up. We still need to reinforce our off peak/night team and obviously we need to compete on all four maps if we are to make further progress.

From reading the forums, it looks like several other servers now face what Far Shiverpeaks has already gone through. You have my sympathy.

I would also like to extend an invite out to the Guild Wars 2 Community as a whole. We’ve been here since the start & have never left the Server, & I’m glad we never did! We have had the opportunity of building one of the most solid communities I’ve seen on a Server in an MMORPG.

We have many great guilds that have come together with the same passion, & commitment. It would be inspiring to see more communities within Guild Wars 2 to collaborate with us before Guesting & Paid-Transfers are implemented. A decision I can assure you will never regret

We have gone through the pain that other servers are now experiencing and we have come through stronger.
So to those other servers…stay in there,take your beatings and regroup like we have.

The little engine that could. When you think you can and know you can, you can!

The past 13 weeks have been a rough ride for us here on Far Shiverpeaks. It started with our beloved Russian mob leaving us for greener pastures. Following them were a few other guilds, and a few more, and then a few more. But not everyone ended up leaving Far Shiverpeaks for another server. Some of us stayed behind.

Those who left told us WvW was dead, they told us we’d never go anywhere. I knew we could, we knew we could. Not only that we could, but that we would.

“You are in Tier 7” you might say. Yes we are, and kitten proud of it. For the past 6 weeks we’ve had a weekly meeting discussing our strengths and our differences. For the past 6 weeks we have stabilized. For the past 6 weeks we have showed ourselves that we can do it.

Together we figured out how we can jell together. The jelling process is still ongoing and we are not planning to stop fighting any time soon.

In a few days paid transfers are coming, before then you have to know if you’re staying or going. We do not even know yet what the big WvW patch brings; What we do know is that the Far Shiverpeakians are a strong breed, and we welcome you to join us.

I am really proud of what our server has achieved after everything we went through. We now have a stable and growing community of people who are here because they want to be on Far Shiverpeaks and have come together to make it happen. Our results in the last month are proof of months of work starting early in the free fall.

We no longer have guilds that only want glory, but guilds that want to fight for their server, who have experienced both T1 fighting all the way down to T7 and understand sticking by their server through glory and hardships. We are also a server that has realised we don’t want fair weather guilds. Because of this we don’t depend on any big guilds or alliances. We are a server where both small and medium guilds can make a difference (and large ofc).

Paid transfers won’t deter these big guilds from moving (in my opinion), as some of the hardcore WvW guilds are rich, through taxing their members, etc. so probably can afford to make a move and pay for their members if they really wanted. I think our server now has less risk than servers depending on big guilds and alliances, who also sometimes decide to go to different games.

So if you are a single player or a guild who has decided to move and looking for a new home where you can make a difference, and want to belong to a great community I think you should seriously consider Far Shiverpeaks.

And to give Maloki a hurrah: I know we can

So we managed to get ourselves into Tier6 again after a 6 week stay in Tier7.
It’s already been 11 weeks since our last time we rose in tiers.
And actually this is only the second time it happens (it was a long drop to T7 :p )

Anyway, it seems like we are holding ourselves nicely against our two german opponents., even having a slight point lead, but the week is still long.
While our times in T7 have been very fun, i think it’s a good morale boost for us all to feel that we’re among midtier servers again

The fights in T6 have been great and we are holding out nicely and currently in first place, but it is only the beginning and we have worthy opponents. It could go anyway.

We seem to have found a tier to call home and have pretty fun matchups here. It’s a little bit one-sided though, so I hope things balance out a bit more over time and we get to face off against a more diverse group of servers and strategies.

Well done to everyone on FSP who brought the server back from the brink. As you’ll see from our history it’s been a rather wild ride!

Went up to tier 4, and seem to be doing quite alright. We still have only 1 Queue in primetime on EB. We have plenty of room for people who enjoy a friendly community and alot of good fights. We have a big early morning crew, and a good organized night force. We have 24 hours coverage on EB and our own borderland.

Sorry if this messes up the chronology a bit, but this story needs to be told.

In Week 5 (2 – 9 February 2013) Far Shiverpeaks had just gained three places and moved to tier 5, together with Gunnar’s Hold and Miller’s Sound. Gunnar’s Hold had just received an influx of new guild(s) and was moving upwards at a very fast pace. One of these new guilds was [Xaoc], formerly part of Far Shiverpeaks, so we knew who we were facing.

In the early days of the match we were constantly nightcapped by [Xaoc] – and probably others – and Gunnar’s Hold gained on us sometimes 10k on one night. I remember sitting on a Sunday morning for four hours in EB, all the while losing towers and keeps to end up at a miserable score of 40 – some bickering between good teammates, etc. During the day we could make up a bit of ground but halfway during the week we were behind (I believe) with a solid 35 k on points.

Later we learned that part of [Xaoc] left GH during that time, so what happened afterwards is not all our own doing. Nevertheless, although many lost faith (me included), we somehow gained a bit in the final days of the match, and some belief came back. Extraordinary measures were taken – at least by my guild – in these last few days, culminating in a truly grand finale where we made up for all remaining points in the last evening.

Friday night we owned three quarters of all the maps. Everyone doing anything in GW2 got summoned to be in WvW and we managed to overtake GH and win by over 6k! The final score is attached. There are also some screenshots of people cheering, but sadly I could not find these – or the tale of the week by our resident bard Zephyer – anymore.

GH remained very sportsmanlike during the match and we received multiple contgratulations from their guild leaders afterwards. As I said, we were helped in part by some guilds leaving GH, but this match showed that FSP as a whole – even thought we are a PUG server – did not give up even thought it was really hopeless for much of the week.

The week after that we lost handily by Aurora Glade but it dit not matter much to many of us. We had shown what we are capable of and could confortably remain in t5.

Yea you guys did amazingly well that week to catch up! Spending the next 6 or so weeks getting whooped by you was demoralizing for GH. But i believe there is a unspoken friendship between our servers now. Especially as we have similar stories of dropping from high tiers and climbing back up.

Im not on GH anymore but i am looking forward to the prospect of meeting you guys next week if mos is correct and the current predictions stand

@ Maureen Adaal.3412
[Xaoc] never was a part FSP – They was a part of BT
( we have in past Russian alliance on FSP but they move to BT on the middle of matchup – when we first meet a [Xaoc] )
