Guild Wars 2

Anvil Rock. After a few torturous month AR is back on the rise. We faced week after week of getting slaughtered leading up to the Season 1 start. At the start of season one we looked to be a sure lock for last place, but things have really turned around since than.

AR is currently 15k ahead of GoM, looking to secure its first 1st place finish since March. We have surprised a few people and will take home 6th place in the Bronze league, having put on a real strong finish. And we are just beginning to get the ball rolling. To keep up this incredible progress, we need YOUR help!

The Pro’s of joining AR:
-An INCREDIBLE core of players. Our reset nights pull the same number of people as our weekday day crew.
-No ques!
-Emphasis on defense (which we perfected after being double teamed by opposing zergs for weeks on end)
-The ability for small groups to have a HUGE impact.

These are only a few of the things that make AR the best WvW home anyone could ask for. If you are interested in joining the revolution, and have any question, feel free to send me some mail, I’ll gladly answer any questions you have!

Yeah gratz on the crazy boost of numbers you guys got in WvW. Ye seem to have a 70+ zerg on at least 2 maps 24/7 since the last time we fought.

How many large guilds transferred to ye? The only one I know of is ASAP

0. 0 Large guilds have transferred. ASAP are AR original but have received a large group of recruits and are attempting to up their game. We have had 2 commanders, one from GOM and one from IOJ transfer over but as far as I am aware they brought nobody with them. Zero are slowly making their way back from BG (only 10 so far) but its debatable to call them a transfer as they are an AR original guild.

In saying all this we do greatly appreciate the small transfers we have had and are always open to more additions to our community. We have all then normal mod cons and an unwavering spirit in our core wvwers to boot.

Bump
Join us for some more awesomeness, and to help us reach 600+ ppts again
Here a short video I made of that time as a proof (cause I think it never really happened before): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMsYR0yFpRg&feature=youtu.be

Well, its nice that you think we’ve gotten large WvW guild transfer, because we havent! The ASAP guild was huge project under taken by a few AR members, and it has done a incredible job of getting people into WvW.

We don’t really field zergs that big, or even on two maps, that was probably the same zerg hitting on two different one after another.

Imagine what we will be able to do if we do get transfers!

GoM and SoR have had several transfers to AR, so please don’t be so naive to think that you’ve magically upped your game because of recruitment from one guild. That’s not how this game works.

We have had no large guild transfers. [Zero] is slowly returning, but not too many of made the swap yet.

This is exactly why anvil rock is the server to join at this moment. People cant accept that we improved so much mainly due to our pve players jumping back into wvw. As to the several gom players. I was the only one that I know of that left gom. And as for that 1 guild recruiting. We have gained 150-160 new members in the last month with most doing wvw a few times a week. If you are a good commander looking to make a big difference in a servers outcome then you too could probably get a lot of recruits if you came to anvil rock. Just something commanders should consider if looking for a new server to join.

On a side note guild asap here in anvil rock is looking for 2 commanders to join the guild. I am trying to get more in the zerg busting/ gvg mentality, but have been to busy leading the zerg. A lot of good guild potential for a competent commander. Pm or mail allergic to grapes, allergic to oranges, or allergic to bananas if interested. You would most likely have 20 players a night to work with.

Yeah I find it hard to believe there was not a huge amount of transfers since the last time AR were up against GoM. One week you are always with the outmanned buff and 2-3 weeks later you are the ones creating the outmanned buff on GoM players.

It is also rumored you guys have spies in teamspeak which is how you “magically” have your zerg inside the gates on every attempt DR or GoM make on your keeps and garrison but hey we always enjoy it when AR out number us 2 to 1 and we kick your kitten just like the old AR players would do to some of us.

Oh we have no problem accepting AR has improved, I hear it in teamspeak quite a bit and chat too.

This is just another reason people should consider joining anvil rock. We are very good at defending our bl. Our main zerg is rdy to move on a moments notice to defend their keeps. Now if any gom players believe I am spying on their ts all you have to do is pm allergic to grapes in game. I will jump into your ts you can ban me there. Since I was the only one I know that came from gom, that rediculous theory can be put to rest. I believe many other servers prior to this week can attest to us being very good at defending our bl. We do an excellent job defending. Anvil rock. Keep up the effort.

Week 1: GoM won with 282k points, DR 2nd place with 207k, AR 3rd place with 164k.

Week 3: A few commanders and myself decided it was time to “practice movement” as a pug zerg since we didn’t have a guild that could bring 20+ on a regular day to day basis (and still don’t). This was also the time when we made it known we can’t let let servers farm our wooden towers/keeps and placed more emphasis on D.

Week 4: AR got 2nd over ET by 1.2k points. Grapes and I easily commanded over 30+ hours that week and TFH played defense in our BL 90% of time. We didn’t lose garrison once and didn’t let bay AND hills be captured in the same day.

Week 5: AR got 2nd over ET again but this time by 22k points. GoM got 1st but only by 30k. We just did what we did in week 4 but now our response time was quicker on defense and we kept improving in open field as a zerg. Again we still didn’t have a large guild it was mostly with non-affiliated people in TS. Also due to ET and FC making golems every chance they could get it stepped our scouting game. We now send our scouts to camps to see if they are building/waypointing golems. Garrison stood uncapped for 2 weeks so far.

Week 6: We finally lost a T3 upgraded garrison but it was on the last day of the server week to DH. So Garrison stood for solid 20 days.

Week 7: AR is 1st with a 40k lead, DR in 2nd with a 10k lead over GoM and Garrison still stands.

To command on AR is really hectic. We push out on a BL but always have an eye on keeps in our own bl. If an X gets tossed up on a waypoint while we are away in another BL we send a scout that is TS to check it out. If it is a threat, either they have outer down or an orange X is up on outer, we drop what we are doing and head back to defend. If we need to we will pull people from eternal but that is if things are really bad. Our big TS zerg is usually regulated to 1 map for offense and defense.

Again we haven’t gotten too many transfers and they probably make up about 5% of our core wvw community that is already here. We didn’t get any large wvw or pvx guilds here either. To say we have spies on GoM or any other server we have faced is absurd. We need all the people we can get atm and welcome anyone or any guild that wants to help us out!

Bump. Got 2nd place in the last 2 match ups. Doing well on this weeks reset. We are becoming known more for our defense of the borderland. We have a oceanic guild coming to ar as well soon. This will turn our bronze league oceanic force into a tough time for many enemy bronze league forces. Again things are looking good here in anvil rock. Weekday forces are almost on par with our weekend force.

Yes, nobody has denied that we have had some transfers. The one mentioned in this post is Zero, and as mentioned above only 10 have arrived so far. This is not a transfer movement, AR has a very high population rating last I checked, this is a server revolution. At the same time, because of this, we know that we are looking at some tougher fights in the near future. Will we stand to the test, I believe so, but time will tell.
