Fissure of Woe recruitment post in the Era of March 2013 Free Transfers
I am writing this post since there are no other current posts that I can find concerning the free transfers that are currently on offer with the Fissure of Woe server as a potential destination. We are a medium server in EU Tier 9, somewhat an analogue of Ferguson’s Crossing (and others) in NA. I was hesitant in writing this so…

If you’ll allow me to be blunt: Fissure of Woe is often (but no always!) outnumbered in WvW at the time of writing. Quality and numerical help would therefore be appreciated. Perhaps there are even NA players who would consider coming over (to populate the peak NA times) to help us out…?

What I’m not going to do is to make grand promises on behalf of my server. Instead, I will paraphrase and re-word Ernest Shackleton’s Antarctic expedition recruitment notice:

Are you up for the challenge?
Men and women wanted for hazardous journey. Small wages. Bitter cold. Long months of complete darkness. Constant dangers. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success.

Languages
One thing that I do want to briefly address here before signing off is the perceived matter of languages. I have read a number of other posts about language barriers on EU servers. To state the obvious: yes, there are languages beyond English spoken on EU servers, including Fissure of Woe. But, quite genuinely, I have never found this to be problematic in the slightest within the Fissure of Woe community.

Quite the opposite actually: I find that players on our server make themselves readily understood and are keen to communicate: ranging from linking in the chat to denote their preferred next target, pointing with their character and other actions — including asking (the many and frankly highly talented) multi-linguists to translate key phrases / ideas with celerity. Indeed, I find that English is the most frequently used language in Fissure of Woe for chat when I’m online at peak Australian times — just my (biased) perspective.

Community
The above has shaped my view of Fissure of Woe as being a good community to be in — not only for WvW, but also PvE: there’s always plenty of friendly players and guilds there that are only too happy to help others out. On WvW, there exists a great community vibe since we can get to know each other fairly quickly. And this means that we are steadfast and willing to accept the strong challenge of being in Tier 9 together and aim high.

Will you stand with us?
So I’ll finish by re-emphasising: I’ve personally found Fissure of Woe has always been very accommodating and friendly; especially to those who try to lift to the challenge. I will let my servermates add to this if they want, and name guilds they wish to. Will you stand with us?
