Quite frankly, I pity you. Every night I log on and have absolute certainty of laughing until I cry, gaining 200-300 badges, and being part of an amazing community of hundreds of people from around the world.

Blackgate, in all seriousness, you need to drop down a tier or two and regroup. We don’t want any of your guilds, we want you to galvanize as a server. Form a real community, work with each other to develop strategies, lose the kitten-talking fairweathers and come back.

We’ll be waiting.

Your condescension irks me but whatever.

You assume that everyone wishes their server community was like yours. That seems so arrogant to me.

I don’t think Blackgate has a family vibe and I’ve always liked that about the place. It’s one of the reasons I’ve stayed for as long as I have win or lose. No one ever asks Riot to do anything. No one expects anything from me or the people I play with. I like that.

I want to play on a server full of people who just want to kill people in video games. I want to play with people who don’t want to zerg. I don’t want an online family. If you do that’s fine but know that not everyone is like you.

Indeed it is arrogant. It’s also the truth.

You assume that we have expectations of each other. In fact, it is the exact opposite; we expect nothing. Some of our guilds are psychotic militaristic machines full of bloodthirsty psychopaths. Others are casual “family” guilds.

…but we all get along. We fight other servers, not each other. We don’t sacrifice anything to get it; we have everything every other server has, and more. Do I think that is better? kitten right I do! I’ve been playing MMOs as long as the genre has existed, and I love the SoR community. From the smallest guilds all the way on up to Choo, we have a great group of people here. If you aren’t a drama queen then please feel free to join us… you might just like it

So much unhappy posts……

Need more happy score updates with people being silly and having fun!
This game is all about fun….

P.s

My net was crap tonight so no silly updates with my BG, SoR or JQ friends tonight. But later today is a later day!

Enjoy everyone!

Well, blackgate was ticking at 35 about 45 minutes ago :\

It has been said before, and I’ll say it again:

SoR is a community. We have slowly and steadily grown over the last six months.

We are friends here. While your guilds are blaming each other and plagued with in-fighting, we are laughing… even if we lose… even if our buddies in Choo screw up in EB for a night or FEAR doesn’t understand the concept of PTV gear. We don’t place blame; we queue up and help. Some probably see the previous statement as a snide comment, unaware of the laughter it will cause.

Sure, we’ll get frustrated. Sure, we’ll rage… but we blame ourselves before blaming another.

It doesn’t matter what guild you’re in; Choo, CDS, FEAR, TW, SAHP, HIRE…. and so many more. We all get along. We all know and trust each other. We all collaborate, coordinate, and conspire together. We are not enemies, we are friends.

See, we play to win, but we don’t care too much about what tier or slot we’re in. Sure, we want to be top dog… but ultimately we’re content to play for 7 hours, wipe once or never, and thrash JQ and Blackgate until y’all start kicking back 1s and 4s for wxp. For us, we win every night. At the end of the week we feel like we have won, we don’t feel like we came in second or third.

We have lost major leaders; from Leader Mara to Miasmic Spiritsong, some of our most beloved commanders have left the game. New leaders have risen to take their place, new guilds have formed from the ashes of the fallen, and our community has endured, grown, and even thrived.

I get the distinct impression that JQ and Blackgate (especially Blackgate) don’t play like this, don’t have the attitude, the community, or the patience.

Quite frankly, I pity you. Every night I log on and have absolute certainty of laughing until I cry, gaining 200-300 badges, and being part of an amazing community of hundreds of people from around the world.

Blackgate, in all seriousness, you need to drop down a tier or two and regroup. We don’t want any of your guilds, we want you to galvanize as a server. Form a real community, work with each other to develop strategies, lose the kitten-talking fairweathers and come back.

We’ll be waiting.
