Guild Wars 2

they took my bags

VerdantSF.1507:

All the drama aside, I think a lot of people on CD were looking forward to new guild tags forming a greater share of the opponents this time around. At least 10 IoJ guilds have moved to FA, including AVTR, Daze, DPS, DRGN, EPX, FIST, FUNZ, HERO, SHED, and UM. Even with the addition of Dragonbrand, it’s going to feel like CD/IoJ/FA Round 5.

To correct this HERO went SOR

You posting this is the biggest joke ever. I at least made an effort. My guild NOT ME made the decision to move. So blow it out your kitten

Excuses are so hard to come by, aren’t they?

Ill let you know when I get an excuse an not the truth. Then we can pick this conversation back up. I devoted a lot of time to this server. Ask any guild that was here Hel put its time in and did its job. Until you can say something otherwise, you mean nothing.

Altie.4571:

Just sad sad time.

I would not show my face on the forums for a YEAR if I were the OP. You are the biggest joke ever dude.

Sor, Sos, FA it seems where the target homes, who went where is kinda scrambled to me.
ND went SOS, Hel went SOR.

Morning All, Just wanted to say HEL has had a ton of fun fighting against SBI and TC the couple of days we have been here. You guys are a blast, keep the fights coming.

I made the thread in hopes of saving a dying server. It was a lost attempt. We found out that large guilds had already been making plans to move. We had some nice offers from multiple places and we took a guild vote to go. We spoke to the alliance and told them our intentions and offered them a place to go along side with us. Seemingly after this several of them have selected to go to different places, several to FA. While I dont personally consider FA a good choice, it is their choice and I respect that. IOJ was rapidly falling, not because of the work we had invested into, there is a wonderful community there working hard on the wvw front, but really was just shear lack of coverage. With the onslaught of paid xfers coming it was only going to get worse. The server was stuck with a tag of being a PVE server, and to be truthful it largely was. I will greatly miss my time on IOJ. We had many friends there, and a great alliance. I hope one day the server is reborn and can see great prosperity in wvw again. I wish anyone who remains nothing but the best. We did what was best for us to remain in the battles we enjoy and to keep our guild happy. This is a game and if you arent happy playing it, then why do it.

The truth of the matter is, IOJ is being gutted. Hel has left, ND has left, QQ is either leaving or left, from what I understand DRGN is discussing it. Im guessing others will follow suit. You have to make a choice based on what is best for your guilds, its what we did. We discussed our options as we had many offers. We made the choice best for us, to continue to provide the quality of fights we desire, the level of opponents we desire, and the quality of community that we are use to.

IOJ is a fantastic server. We have built a fantastic alliance there with many wonderful people and it was very hard to leave. However with the deadline coming we had to make a choice.

Best of luck IOJ.

I personally extended courtesy in the JPs this month because of the stupid monthly put to us.

blah, blah, blah, there will always be guilds transferring off and on servers. Some will be bandwagon jumpers, some will want a challenge, some just want a different color…

Whatever, what matters is that there are fun fights, good opponents, and cookies. And this matchup has had that in spades.

If I could only facebook like this.

I have to tell you all, we came from IOJ, a server thats taking its last breath. We had offers to go to kaening, BG and others. We have a rep from being formally Totn. sanc etc.

We selected SoR because of the community on this server. They approached us to come over, we didnt approach them. They made a great pitch, we sat here on the server for a day with 2nd accounts watching the communication, the TS servers etc.

We put the vote to our guild, with all the offers we had and the guild vote was 100% to come here. It had nothing to do with placement or score. It was the best choice and best offer to us.

Bandwagon fans per say are those who just make a leap because someone or a team is winning, there is no thought behind it. We made a decision after emails and long talks with SoR.

We have made the best decision for us, sadly not so much for the rest of you

Be warned Hel is coming.

We would like to thank SoR for welcoming us. The rebuilding of our fully upgraded guild perks is the hardest hit. That and leaving behind so may good people. We want to thank those who have contributed to rebuilding, and those still waiting to send. Moving servers is never an easy decision, but the folks on SoR made the move a pleasant one for us and I think we will really enjoy being here.

I would love to see guilds willing to come down or up a few tiers to help build a server to the greatness it deserves.

Well, having chicks is a plus, but leaving IOJ is not something we are really considering atm. We have some very skilled guilds here, DRGN, HEL,RUN,AVTR,fist,Jats, ND, QQ and a few others I am sure I am missing. Forgive me for not listing them. We want to build the server up. To do so we need to increase numbers. We are willing to train new comers, help elevate new guilds looking to improve, or embrace guilds that have their own style looking to move to a new home and start fresh. The foundation here is very strong, however skill can only overcome so much. Taking on numbers of 3-1 you can win those battles only so many times, when it becomes an outmanned status in every zone, you have to know when to seek out more numbers. Now is that time.

IOJ S.O.S…..

Hi all,

IOJ needs you?Yes, yes it does. The story of IOJ is a long one, but here is the short story. We have several top tactic guilds that are dedicated to WvW only. Those guilds spend hours every day only doing it. Where we win in that area, we are suffering from having a server that is under populated in dedication to WvW. Too many only PVE, or just lack of numbers period. We have seen T1 status in the past, and due to free server moves and other things, we have slipped down the charts. With the right coverage we could once again rise up from where we are. We have a community TS where the guilds commanders organize and communicate during raids, we have an alliance in place to work together as well. IOJ has the ability to be a top server, again we lack the numbers.

I call out to those guilds tired of the horrendous queue times, or those looking for a challenge to build up a lower server back to top glory to come be a part of the IOJ server.

We are here fighting daily and look forward to the challenge. We dont back down, we only move forward.
