Original Message from Kurthos [WORK] found here: http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/78596-sea-of-sorrows-an-organized-community-for-wvw/

This message is still being edited and will be completed in the next 24 hours. In the meantime, you can read it without the links or visit the original message on guru.

NOTE: Sea of Sorrows is a very high population server and often full. However, we are capable of administering success transfer of 1000s of people over 3 days as we have done before in the past when our server was seemingly full. Please contact me ingame mail or private message with the following information and we will help administer the transfer
Guild name
Contact name
Server name
Time and Date of Transfer
Time Zone
Number of Transferees

Sea of Sorrows has traveled a long road up to this point. We’ve had multiple matches with close calls as we climbed the WvW ladder to the very top rung. And there we’ve sat, at the top of Tier 1, for a solid five weeks thus far. No single guild is responsible for our success. We did this through community, hunger for competition, and most importantly, server wide organization. Sea of Sorrows is looking for like minded guilds who are interested in coordination on a higher level of play.

What Sea of Sorrows Offers

Bi-weekly Guild Leader Meetings: If you’re interested in sitting in and listening to get an idea of how we operate as a server, send me a PM.

Community Realm Forums: http://www.sea-of-sorrows.com

Community Based Events: Examples can be seen below
http://sea-of-sorrows.com/home/m/8596372/viewthread/5213067-temple-balthazar-server-event
http://sea-of-sorrows.com/home/m/8596372/viewthread/5266965-christmas-fashion-contest

Strong NA and Oceanic Coverage: While we certainly have holes in coverage here and there, we have arguably the strongest Australian presence in the world. That being said, we lack players during NA, SEA, and EURO time slots. Guilds like [MERC], [AFS], and [DiE] are second to none during the AUS time zones. Our NA players are mostly made up of organized guilds and about half as much Militia as the other time zones. If you’re an NA player looking for a change in scenery and high level play, Sea of Sorrows is for you.

Tight-knit Guild to Militia relationship: Our server is made up of a mix of medium to small sized guilds and dedicated militia forces. We would not be where we are without them.

No Queue times!

Cross-guild Training:We hold multiguild training whenever we come up with new and interesting tactics. An example would be the trademark [ATac] Guardian Immortal builds showcased in the two videos below.

You can replace your entire wall of text and any description of any guilds above by simply saying:

“Come to SOS….we are a zerg server that wins by overwhelming numbers which we like to kid ourselves into thinking is real skill” instead of using “large scale combat” throughout your descriptions.

Right now, WvW rewards zerg play. Known fact. It is what it is. And SOS is reaping those rewards. Hopefully Anet will fix that as WvW evolves. Right now, it is just turning away more and more players.

SOS is a very strong, friendly community that works very hard together to do their best in WvW. We have strong and consistent communication across our server, love to discuss our own original strategies alongside the brilliant strategies of other players, and most importantly, we love to have fun in WvW.

With paid transfers on the horizon, we’d really like to so seem EURO guilds (or any other, really) come on board. We’ll welcome you with open arms and would absolutely work with you in getting you transferred in, feeling comfortable, and right to work on our battlefields.

We only have semi-long queues on reset and some parts of the following week. Otherwise, you’ll have hours upon hours of action-packed playtime to look forward to.

Please message me if you have any questions.

I don’t understand why the server currently with the biggest zerg in NA wants a even BIGGER ZERG. Isn’t it be boring already running around in groups of 60+ players like headless chickens beating up groups of 5 players? Now, you want to run around in groups of 90+ players?

Wait 5 seconds….Take portal, it’s ready.. Spam all your skills since you don’t see anyone anyways.. Rinse and repeat..

“We’re adding new features as well. We’ll introduce a system of prestige and advancement specifically designed for WvW. This will give players a progression path where they earn new WvW-only abilities and bonuses, and with them gain prestige and visible titles/recognition. Also, we’ll add a new motivation to the WvW domain that goes beyond the overall weekly score to give more short term reasons to be winning in WvW as well.”

If I understand correctly, an even bigger incentive for holding the top spot in wvw is gonna be implemented. We want to stay as number 1, who wouldn’t? It is completely reasonable that SOS is recruiting. Why wouldn’t anyone try to maintain their advantage over their enemies in war?

I think the detractors just want SOS to go down. Nothing else to it but sheer crab mentality (argumentum ad invidiam or appeal to envy to those not familiar with the idiom XD)

Come on bro, you are a respectable guild leader, why come into our recruitment thread and spread lies?

Sea of Sorrows has NO queues as mentioned in our thread. The only chance of queues is Saturday USA reset time because everyone loves to rush in and see what the new week is like.

why is first place recruiting. ?

Thank you for asking this question and I will address it.

Why on earth does 1st place need to recruit?

Well for several reasons.

1. First place requires players WvW. Other less realistic servers or guilds will make you think that having a lot of troops is wrong, and that they are able to compete in tier one is because of their amazingly low numbers and high skill. Sorry, but that is an unrealistic way of thinking and I think it really insults the intelligence of the people. With numbers, there is nothing. No one to implement your strategies. No one to hold the defensive lines. No one to fight when you decide to take a day off because you have a real life.

2. A lot of servers become complacent with their status quo. “I am winning today because of my mad skillz, so I dont need to do anything about tomorrow”. There are many many children’s stories teaching us as people, we need to prepare for tomorrow. I guess Sea of Sorrows leaders understood that message better than others.

3. Sea of Sorrows does not want to be a fad server. We did not work our way to the top so that we can win once or twice or brag about it. We came to the top so that we can enjoy the best fights against the best enemies. Our enemy portal bombs, we must portal bomb better. Our enemy uses 10 golems to rush, we must use 20! Our enemy plays for 10 hours, we must play for 12 hours! Our enemy is RECRUITING MORE GUILDS, we must recruit MORE and BETTER guilds. That is all part of the art of wvw and healthy compeition.

So, I ask you guild leaders to decide again. Join a serious WvW server, who has a consistent track record and forward thinking leadership. Or something else?

There is not a minute that goes by without competition on SoS. BG has learnt that there are servers that play in other time slots than EU , JQ loses direction. We are a WvW server, if you want large scale battles, or small team ops, constant competition 24/7 and not steping 2 feet in LA without walking by a guild member that is in a WvW guild then SoS is for you. You do not stay in tier 1 by shear force of numbers. We have some of the best commanders and players in the field.
The free transfers are ending if you are serious about WvW, SoS has a place for you.

Take my opinion and story for what you will (I am one of the guild masters on SoS after all, so one could say there is bias) but I believe I can be objective here.

All the way back in October, not even 2 months after the game’s launch, I was faced with the hardest dilemma known to the leader of any guild. And that dilemma was – How do I save my guild from dying? Violent Impact – [VI] – being one of the founding guilds and still a current member of the Axis of Inssurection (AoI) alliance was faced with the fact that Dragonbrand was dying as a WvW server. Simultaneously being a guild that focused on a higher level of play and coordination in WvW as well as part of a WvW alliance with the same goals, I was faced with a very sticky situation.

Do I stay on the dying server and let my guild suffer because WvW would become a 2nd job in order to merely keep pace? Do I make the move to a server where I know the people I would see in-game care just as much as I do? Do I do nothing and hope the game becomes more appealing to those less interested in large-scale PvP? I went with option #2, I moved where I knew a true community could be built and where my WvW experience would blossom with competition.

The NA transfers from Dragonbrand (AoI alliance and TSym & affiliates) learned from the mistakes made previously, a few well known guilds with the burning passion of 1000 suns does not and cannot carry a server. It takes a lot more than that, it takes a server to carry a server. So we reached out to our Aussie brethren and while there were many kinks in the garden hose initially, we all realized in the end that it wasn’t about us as individuals or as guilds, it was about us as a server.

So, the free transfers end soon, and with it a lot of the volatile nature of the current WvW ranking system. However, it also makes it harder to save your guild and your server. It’s pretty easy to convince 20+ people to transfer for greener pastures and better competition when it doesn’t cost a nickle. But when that transfer costs $20, I bet you’re going to lose a few in the process, and nothing sucks more than saying goodbye to the people you’ve grown accustomed to and fond of.

I’m glad I made the choice to move [VI] when I did. I might have lost a few kind folk on the trip, but I know I saved the guild from a slow and painful death. It gave members the competition they deserved, it gave them the peace of mind knowing that someone else on the other side of the world did care about what happened, and most importantly it let them enjoy the game. Nothing sucks more than pulling a 12 hour WvW shift day in and day out and know that all of it will be for naught because nobody is there to take the reins.

Bottom line: SoS is the server that cares. From the best and most publicized WvW guilds all the way down the line to the lone wolf who roams WvW looking for something new and exciting to do, SoS players care the most. If you want to play some of the best in the game alongside some of the best in the game, you’ll want to be on Sea of Sorrows when you do. We don’t just have WvW guilds, we have a WvW server.

I can tell you that in Blackgate or Jade Quarry borderlands us SoS’ers are always outmanned so badly it takes us 40 minutes just to get 10 people into the server to start a breakout because they have us so badly numbered we can’t take anything. Not to mention that any breakouts we do gets mobbed constantly by 60+ man zergs that just destroys the Seigebreaker Commander like its nothing. 9/10 times we can’t even get Seigebreaker to drop the seige because we can’t hold the point long enough.

Also we rarely have any queues except during peak Oceanic hour times. I’ve been on Blackgate and I can tell you that their home BL as well as EB is always queued 30+ minutes, but most of their commanders are an absolute mess and normally don’t even have one on (not to mention their zerg just likes to bang their heads into gates without seige all day, reminds me of Dragonbrand IMO) that’s why I decided to get back in SoS because they are just that much more organized and better at leading. Jade Quarry I haven’t tried but they seem like a decent bunch and since they had recent large transfers they are rarely ever outmanned anymore and has just as large number of players as us if not more.

I feel like every time I see time people just blantantly lie or absolutely ignorant player shout out disdain to another server I should just show screenshots in-game of all the B.S they are spouting.

P.S I’m not going to point at the server at large but only those who are throwing misinformed or outright thoughtless opinions and put em as facts. I’ve done plenty of dungeons from people from different servers all around they are a decent bunch just hate the few people that give others a bad rep.

Do you want screen shots to prove it dude? I was in EB tonight and we was out manned 2 to 1 from you guys. Its pretty easy to see that you have the best coverage since you are the number 1 server. I would like to see JQ and BG fill coverage gaps and then fight.

Just click 1 of the SOS defender during SEA / EURO time in BG or JQ bl and most likely its an outmanned buff lol

Actually i doubt EB will have outmanned for all 3 servers. Seldom there is an outmanned buff especially @EB Most likely, you bump to a main zerg or you all have alot of smaller team for different task.

Afterall EB is like a big boy hangout place… its a hotspot for everyone.

That sounds very selfish. “You already have more than me! You shouldn’t get any more!” This is war people. It’s just like using attrition warfare in a game setting.

Hi!
As there is already a recruitment thread about SoS from today, I’m going to close this one, as they are nearly identical.
Here you can find the other one: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/EUROPEANS-Join-Sea-of-Sorrows-24-7-WvW/first

Thanks for your understanding.
