and if we’ve gotten any other new Dub Vee Dub guilds I haven’t seen them.

So what you are saying is that because you have not noticed, it hasn’t happened? strong closing statement there.

Learn to read. Nowhere in my post does it say anything close to that. If we’ve gotten new transfers I haven’t met them, that’s it. Are you really so mad that FA has people playing now? It’s just flipped from what was happening at the start after we lost literally everything to what you would consider your off-peak team.

Stop being such a crybaby. Good fights are good fights and that’s all that matters.

So you are saying it has happened?

What this week proves is that if you dont have the numbers to win fairly you should spam other servers guilds to jump ship and join your server. I hope those transfers stick around when you start losing in a higher tier FA

ignoring that we have been recruiting for weeks, the japanese guild has been on FA for as long as i can remember, I have not seen or heard about any AU guild even though I am an aussie so would be playing the same time, the EU guild was confirmed to be looking to move but nothing guaranteed, it was confirmed that earlier in the week 1 EU player came here to have a look, his guild were going to discuss it. We had ULTD move over a month ago. Obviously have no way to confirm individuals coming over but servers get new players all the time so yeah.

FAs population for the oceanic period has been pretty much the same as it has been for weeks, the only difference between now and the weekend that put you guys 100k up is the amount of yaks that disappeared. Even now I find it a miracle that we are winning in this time period. YAKS seem to have just as many, if not more players than FA but they are all in 1 big zerg and are missing out on a lot of points by not working as a team.

Again, no one has been able to show these mystical transfers, sure we may have had a few people come to FA but no where near enough to go from losing 100k points in 2 days to constantly holding a 200+ point lead.

Im sorry is this a company, did i miss the marketing budget, and when i say budget i refer to the time people spend not the money spent.

The point is Yaks bend stands on the merits of the people who call our server home, we do not campaign to recruit numbers, we do not approach other servers becasue we have an inflated sense of self importance. We compete because these are the resources we have available to us, we have a loyal player base that takes pride in the achievements we are able to secure based on our own capabilities.

If you are satisfied with treating your server like a business that requires constant recruitment to achieve what your current player base is not able to achieve without such initiatives then you also have to live with the reputation that comes with this strategy.

Congratulations! as i said in my previous post i hope this recruitment gains you members that believe strongly in your vision and are not just jumping on the bandwagon for the win.

Just pointing out on Monday I posted that Fort Apsenwood could come back and win this round even being over 140k behind Yak’s Bend. Many players disagreed.

It’s Thursday morning at 1:00am EST and Fort Apsenwood is less than 40k behind Yak’s Bend. The map points are 500+ FA and only 100+ YB. Like I said before this is a war not a battle. If you keep on fighting, controlling supply camps and using proper siege any server can come back. Without the orbs, it’s very possible and now this is proof. Nice work FA.

As for the accusation that FA uses hacks. 100% not. Sorry, but if we did use hacks we would not have gotten our kitten kicked by Blackgate and Tarnished Coast back to back. Maybe there are one or two hackers (as all servers have them) but in general FA does not have hackers.

What this week proves is that if you dont have the numbers to win fairly you should spam other servers guilds to jump ship and join your server. I hope those transfers stick around when you start losing in a higher tier FA

I want to know who these mythical transfers are. I keep hearing we have a new Japanese guild (What tag? JPN has been with us for weeks) and we have Europeans coming in the next fortnight or so.

Maybe its hard to see from your side but up until yesterday Aust. time at a certain time every single day from our POV at least 90% of FA players seemed to log off. This was confirmed by all the comments at the beginning of the thread about FA having almost nil presence other than at NA prime time. Now all of a sudden you have massive numbers at that time that you had previously dropped off. Why has that occurred? NA players staying up later on election day? Why weren’t they doing that on the weekend?

It really is hard to see from my side. Particularly because I play during that time slot and no new guilds have been on in any map and I also ask in all chats constantly to find out what guilds are staying up except random individuals and 3-4 old timer guilds in small groups. Provide me with a screenshot of a large guild contingent (people are saying 40, 70, and 200 member transfers now ??) at that time slot and I can be convinced. Now there’s rumor of transfers going around means we couldn’t possibly beat you without them and we recruited them just to fight Yak’s.

You guys have only mentioned guilds that have been here for a long time. Who are these new faceless warriors whom I owe so much to, yet aren’t visible during my playing hours when we turn the map green? A genuine question so I can find out who to thank for all their hard work when I thought it was just our server working hard.

You’re forgetting we had FA borderlands locked down before our PPT gain all started, which increased morale by a great amount. FA is notorious for having a sensitive morale if we hold no territory. If we do – a massive amount of PvE players will join the fight.

The fact that Yak’s is pretending we started recruiting for off peak purely for this match when all recruiting threads are dated a fortnight back is plain ignorant, just saying. We’ve been trying to recruit for that time slot since week long matches opened.

Cheers

Updates for everyone, I’ll list who I know has moved so far.

-9 man elite euro squad joined GODS
-20-40ish man AU guild moved (they are still moving people according to my AU commander)
-70 man Japanese guild confirmed moving as well (confirmed by my co-leader, he talked with their leader)
-100 man EU guild (the one from earlier posts) confirmed as having moved. (They are recruiting in LA, and myself and my co-leader talked with their leader).
-Individual people [17 atm] (I have met 12 personally, my co-leader tells me he has met another 5).

We’re looking good. We were able to take almost the entire map from Yak’s and Eredon early this morning (NA early).

The 100 man guild that moved over is recruiting more EU guilds in as well.

Good work everyone who helped the recruitment going, it means a lot to me and everyone in Fort Aspenwood.

You should be able to find rush from the guild ECHO in your server and that’s over 200 players.
