I believe they’re both from the same server.

Glad someone else pointed that out. I had been considering it for a while, heh

Well considering cover girl just moved to sor, she could simply walk up to both of you and spank you. Shrug.

Winky face.

Sunspots.9861:

Just got Hills on SorBL, great fun! Here’s a map and update, keep up the good fight!

We let SoR build a waypoint? In our borderland?

BLASPHEMY!

Rangers aren’t supposed to be able to kill me. People aren’t supposed to know condition damage is underutilized and very powerful. /ragequit

I need hug nao El

Y U NO?

Anyways, word of warning to any NA guilds that are considering transferring to SoR… queue times were running well over an hour this evening. We also have had queues nearly every night of the last match up at those hours as well.

It’s reset night. You should expect queues.

There was a queue for every map on Thursday night pacific coast prime time. Haven’t seen anything like that during in forever.

Queues. What queues? Not if you’re on SBI :-/

Not upset…it’s just depressing that so many have left or are leaving in the coming week :-(

Folly for not coming to TC. No matter, we will fight any and everyone and have a kitten good time doing so.

score and map update

Lets go TC, lets go!!! Lets go TC, lets go!!

Yaks Bend misses you guys! But I hope to see you continue to rise up in tiers. The Garnished Toast will always be my second home (assuming you guys will let me stay the night).

Im rooting for u!!

Sincerely, the Yaks Bend Invader who stomps like king kong

Yaks Bend will always be near and dear to our hearts . . . until you start trebbing us from Red Keep again . . . .

SOR has huge groups on every map, just waiting 24/7 where did all these ppl come from lawl ? did other servers bandwagon to SOR?

SoR got a bunch of guilds from IoJ and SBI.

However, we have way more than adequate NA coverage at the moment, and it is only fair that people know this before moving here.

I’ve never been to T1 so I do not know how strong SoS’ NA is now compared to how it was before, and I have never gone up against JQ.

I prefer to be safe than sorry.

It’s on Par with SoR during it’s NA prime time for a body count. The part SoR would have to get used to is seeing the murder ball of 40ish+ on the west side, and another similar group on the east side from SoS.

Coverage is great, get more it won’t hurt. The biggest prep step for SoR is to get those free floating pugs to follow directions under pressure, and come back even after 8+ wipes. If the SoR general pop is ready for such meat grinder fights then it’s got a good shot at T1.

With the recent xfers to SoR and SBI having a mass exodus of wvw guilds this week is going to be pretty lopsided, a lot of 1v1 with TC which was already working overtime to try to match our coverage before the xfers. Definitely a good week to get to know everyone and get reorganized.

Very exciting times here, there are a lot of players on SoR that stayed in the fight even when stuff was not in our favor, yet still kept pushing back. A lot of people got us here to tier 2 and I couldn’t even name them all here but we know who they are. However wanted to throw a shoutout to Indo who has been a great community organizer for us and has been a key player in organizing wvw efforts. Keep it up man.

Score @ 10:30AM GMT

I feel as though all of our servers will benefit if we relegate our aggression to the battlefield and try, as best we can, to each maintain a modicum of civility on the forums. It could not possibly hurt.

jyn tal,
TC

Welcome to the new Tier 2! Despite the greater BS going on on all fronts, I’m still having fun on SoRBL, good fights. Here’s your update:

Its good to hear. With the tier imbalance at the moment, might aswell just play to have fun

What imbalance? You mean all the people jumping to SoR? You mean you previously couldn’t field large zergs on 2 maps in dual pronged assaults last week?

Let’s stay classy. It is not their fault for fielding large zergs…

You can’t help lol at the bandwagoners looking for an easy ride that have transferred off SBI. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. What’s funny is it’s possible that JQ could drop out of T1 soon (where a lot of bandwagoners went) if only for a week. Of course, SoR/JQ could just continually swap depending on what happens in the next ~10 days.

Had some great battles today in the TCBL.
Always interesting to see what SBI are up to… And SoR, your numbers are truly godly. It is a pleasure playing against you both.

Here’s score update.

gvaughn.4163:

I would have thought, and I suppose it is my mistake to have assumed, that when a server has so many more players and is clearly (look at the map) in control of the wvwvw environment, that the players from that server wouldn’t be so crass as to dance and laugh and cry and jump on the corpses of the players from other servers, who are just trying to make this kittenshow competitive and fun.

I presumed they would be gracious and I was wrong.

There will always be the odd Rallian or small guild who take the supremacy and dominance and begin to act very high and mighty doing stuff with this but i can assure you they do not speak for Sanctum of Rall server.

We’ve always maintained the highest respect for all our opponents (especially BG and TC because of how long we’ve fought) and our attitude towards WvW has not changed one bit from being outmanned most of the time to having full coverage now.

Good Night, Good Morning, and Good Day!
I’m not very good at editing photos.

Slow down, ladies.

30 minute intervals on the +650 screenshots, please.

To the SOR Charr warrior from [CAPS] great fight, and classy move on your part.

Good luck this week.

~Dreadlord Silver

I think this match up would be a lot more interesting if the old Sanctum of Rall guilds (Caedas, FEAR, Choo) transferred to Stormbluff Isle.

Row, row, fight the wagon!

You seem to have lost it as quickly as you took it though

I feel bad for my TC friends, I knew you guys were thrilled when BG left because you’d be in a way more even matchup and wouldn’t be nightcapped into oblivion every night.

It honestly didn’t seem so bad until this week when you guys really started getting all the bandwagoners :/

Soo many new guilds from SoR we’ve never seen before and a lot of them dropped like flies but just kept coming. You guys may be in the running for the next “zombie” nickname

Interesting night for us in SBI. We tried holding most of our property last night in Eternal Battlegrounds and did a respectable job for about 6 hours. Was clearly outmanned till about 10 Eastern, at which point we flipped most of our stuff back. Slowly, however, people started putting transfers through as things got increasingly difficult. By 1:30 eastern we were down to about 20 people on EB, heck we tried to defend an 8 golem rush with maybe 10 of us. Does not bode well for the rest of the week, where we could barely field enough in 2 maps. Going to be hard to have anyone in one map at this point.

Hang in there SBI.

I would imagine that with the monetary lock on transfers, it makes t2 the “bench” for T1.

Well looks looks it is going to be a long boring/frustrating week. people really hate wakeing up every day to everything being lost and having to start all over again. by tuesday morning i bet half of TC and SBI just say screw it and go level an alt or something.

looks like this is happening in many tiers and will probably take a while for tiers to balance back out.

i just hope that by mid match we will still have enough people to field at least one BG and can get some good fights in.

There is a big gap between t2 to t1 in terms of numbers, just like t5 to t4 for instance. The ideal was to have 6 servers that could realistically compete in t1. But that dream is dead, the experiment is a failure. SoR and BG will be the kings of T2 and will alternate every few weeks to be the whipping boy of tier 1 is what I predict.

Currently just 16 rating points separates T2 SoR from T1 BG.

Those aren’t final ratings. But cool, I’m not sure what the context of your statement is supposed to be though? Are you disagreeing with me? As it stands, I believe BG and SoR will switch spots every few weeks and will be the defacto kings of Tier 2 (enough numbers to win t2 easily, not enough to win t1).

Oh boy how things change in a few days .. I’m afraid the next two weeks at least will not be as fun for either of us as the tiers balance due to coverage imbalances.

Whether we’re +5 ppt or +695 though we’re gonna be here like annoying lil pests

Bandwagonning is full of fail.

It happens. Still … see above.

I am on vacation next week, hopefully we can still have some good fights. Perhaps it may be time to make a mesmer tho.

I don’t even know you…

:]

Stay strong TC, keep heart. What you are going through is what us Rallians went through, and we went thru 9 weeks of out coverage against BG. There is light and there is hope, just be ready to grind it out. You guys will be ok, just stay true to your community and server philosophy.

More coverage is good, but more NA players at this time is not if people expect to be able to play with each other.

Oh and murder balls? I am not worried about those, they are extremely easy to break. Well until ANET does something stupid like nerf AE damage.

Interesting point, that’s very much what will happen especially with the payed server xfer coming soon. Well I don’t really mind changing colors once a week.

Our member manage to capture the big fight last night in Godslore. Helioz [Hel]Crew vs. Tarnished Coast Zerg on the first half. vs. Stormbluff Isle Zerg on the other half.

Watch in HD.

Right now mos.millenium.org predicts that SOR will be heading to T1 next week. Keep it up guys and gals. I look forward to seeing you there.

Don’t worry too much, there will be a few servers still to make their way up from the lower Tiers.

Kaineng and Fort Aspenwood seem to be making alot of progress, and theirs probably another server or two that may make a push. I’m predicting a very volatile T2/T3 shortly, as soon as the servers make their way up in the rankings. May take a week or two for it to happen though. There’s always still the possibility that BG may lose a guild or two too, their morale has kinda dwindled with finding so many of their opponents have gained guilds over them in T1. I am speculating of course, and none of this is set in stone. There will be a ton of surprises coming probably before the 28th.

according to http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#NA
we ll be seeing BG again in T1.

At this point for SBI, I look forward to targeting and picking off those that bandwagoned to SoR from SBI for a week. Score is of no concern put certain guild Tags have big targets on them. Funny watching us getting pushed into our spawn in EB and then just waiting and picking certain people off. Highlight of the night was seeing one former SBI guardian run after me and get pawned by a legendary ;p. Its the little victory’s. Keep strong SBI.

LOL. Same old same old. Remember how we wept tears of blood when PRX joined SOS and … But that was then and this is now. And SOR is apparently the beneficiary. I suspect that even after it’s pay to transfer, this will still be an issue for whichever server is the flavour of the week. So I guess we just learn to live with it. Although, upon careful reflection, there is something wrong, something tacky about transferring from and to a server in the same tier. No beyond tacky. As C. Jung would say, “It stains the psyche so deeply and indelibly that all the bleach in the world will never wash it clean.” Or so it seems to me.
