This one is for the lulz, tried to change as much of the lyrics as possible.

Not sure if there was any raid yesterday, but I couldn't come myself as I was stuck in an PvE raid myself. On that note though, I understand there are some particular Alliance guilds out there who don't plan to come due to reasons yet unknown to me. I'd very much like to know if someone's boycotting something out there or such, and why they would do that. I'm not saying it's true, but I can safely say it wouldn't be the first time that they don't actually let anyone know in the process, making communications only all the harder as a result.

Having said that, I hope there's still enough interest out there to attend the planned events. It would be a shame if an annual event such as this would be squandered because of some picky or judgemental people. See you all in Ashenvale tomorrow. o/

What kind of a philistine would boycott the Anniversary War?!

by **Aarian Northlight** Sun Sep 12, 2010 3:41 pm

I took a group of Disciples along with Geldar and a few others to Tarren Mill, Sepulcher then onto Brill.

We faced little resistance, until a few blue-shielders in Brill gathered and decided to make a fight of it, which was good fun Smile

We retreated IC and headed back home.

My IC reasoning was that there had been rumours of Horde forcing amassing, preparing for a possible attack against the Elves, so we decided to try and divert the Horde's attention from any potential attack by getting them to defend their settlements in Lordaeron.

We concluded that we were perhaps too late, with the Horde having already gathered their forces and readying for an attack any day now in Kalimdor.

We agreed that we would accept any call to aid the Elves if an attack on Ashenvale occurs.

So...see you on the battlefield, and here's to 5 years Smile

Aa

Did you guys maybe miss-hear about the future SB training trip to Kalimdor?

by **Jayse** Mon Sep 13, 2010 8:45 am

Right what's the deal with this then. When where and how? I didn't read through all the posts btw.. TL/DR

Time, Place, Forces is all I need to know!

The Mean Machine (cause we all know Vinnie Jones plays on something as awesome as DB as well) known as Defias Brotherhood was unleashed upon the then still innocent RPers of Argent Dawn and Earthen Ring. As one of the two first servers marked as RP-PvP, it was founded to make for a retreat for all RPers longing for a real sense of PvP in the World of Warcraft. And by Thrall's legendary underwear, did it deliver!

Now, on 14 September 2010, it's still alive and running, and ready to honour the days of old in ye good ole Anniversary War! No-nonsense, all-out fun for the kids and family!

The breeze wafted soothingly over the bloodied grass of the forest. Amongst the many, long-buried bones and fresh carcasses here, many wars had been waged. Yet despite all this, the landscape was still very much like it was five years ago, when just another bloodied chapter of this landscape began. All of this, however, was soon to change.

New, ambitious leaders arise on the horizon, ready to lead their people into glory and darkness and beyond, and may what gods have mercy on what may be standing in their way. These are the lands that are marked for disaster, and whether it be due to old hatreds, burning fires or mere grudges, shields and spears are bound to collide here as they have once before.

This is the time for heroes, both young and old, to travel forth and defend their lands again. For King and Country, or perhaps on behalf of his or her commanding chief... or what sinister forces might be operating behind that.

Tl;dr? Fear not! For we can be very brief in all this! The Anniversary War is upon us again! On the coming 14 September, our beloved server will be up in the air for another splendid five years already! To celebrate, we will once again, of course, be hosting PvP events on specific locations - this time focused on the vanilla world of Azeroth for one last time before the Cataclysm is upon us!

Naturally, anyone else is able and even very much encouraged to organize their own events to celebrate the occasion as well! In fact, make sure you either stay tuned to this thread for any updates on any additional events or, alternative, keep an eye on the thread on the server's unofficial RP forums for any closed events!

Carnage in Ashenvale
Monday, 13 September, 20:00

Players from the first hour may well remember the troll-led assault on the town of Astranaar on the very first existing day of the server. All the fresh lowbies of the Horde were led to Astranaar to try and take down those pesky sentinels. Unfortunately, the Horde combatants weren't quite as well-trained as they are these days. A chance for payback, perhaps? Or a chance for the Alliance to take the fight all the way back to the Warsong Lumber Mill, a classical battlefield as well? Either way, a last chance for the entire server to experience Ashenvale in its old shape!

Battle of the Shimmering Flats 2.0
Tuesday, 14 September, 20:00

Another classical battlefield for many players of the Defias Brotherhood. When battlegrounds weren't quite as simple as they are now and when only the most dedicated would get all the purples, a historical battle was waged on the Shimmering Flats, in the Thousand Needles. This place will forever hold a special meaning to many who were lucky enough to witness this carnage (and ultimate lagfest). Sadly, this place will be forgotten in Cataclysm, but before that, all heroes will have one last chance to wage war on this legendary field of battle, which the Alliance will approach from Gadgetzan, and the Horde from Freewind Post!

Posted on http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=14469529206&sid=1. Feel free to make your events here if you'd like them to be closed, but most of all, make sure you promote all of these amongst your friends!

Also, who is leading the Alliance side tonight? There aren`t any calendar invites or anything, and I am rather confused.

Me too. Which may be a normal state of affairs, but! Who is the Alliance arranger?

by **Neyvin/Noxie** Mon Sep 13, 2010 11:38 am

Do we have one? <.<

by **Mandui** Mon Sep 13, 2010 11:41 am

Do we need to have one? >_>

Just gather over there 30-20mins prior to the set time and form a raid.

by **Ledgic** Mon Sep 13, 2010 12:36 pm

Voting Smudgy for General.

by **Kozgugore Feraleye** Mon Sep 13, 2010 12:55 pm

So far, only Aarian contacted me in regards to some organizations. I'm not sure whether it was his plan to take -all- planning/raids upon him, however.

by Guest Mon Sep 13, 2010 5:09 pm

Sooo, who is inviting at Alliance?

by **Kozgugore Feraleye** Mon Sep 13, 2010 7:35 pm

Meanwhile, while half the raid is still getting corpsecamped in Ashenvale, an OOC raid in Orgrimmar!

by Guest Mon Sep 13, 2010 7:48 pm

Just a normal raid to Orgrimmar (for those who wanted), it was our way to end all of it. I didn't see any "OOC", unless going in huge numbers with alot of mixed races automatically makes it OOC, then it sure was. Smile

Nice event, looking forward to the next one.

by **Kristeas Sunbinder** Mon Sep 13, 2010 7:52 pm

Some of the after trashtalk in /y might have been a bit ooc, i'm not sure on it. Anyhow, Ashenvale is littered in the bones of the brave and the cowardly Alliance attack using the back door scrathed the Warchief but didn't make it out safely.

That "OOC" raid was the main raid.

by **Cid** Mon Sep 13, 2010 7:54 pm

Well, the warchief got killed anyway.

by **Torukan** Mon Sep 13, 2010 8:00 pm

The Orgrimmar raid was as OOC as Ashenvale, there was no RP justification to be there or to speak OOC in /s and /y, anyway I captured most of the fights in ashenvale and the raid in org, just gotta get shimmering flats then a video will be on its way.

Glory to the Alliance!

I lo v e you too, Tashun!

by **Kristeas Sunbinder** Mon Sep 13, 2010 8:03 pm

I thought the ic in /s and /y were as sacred as resilience in pvp Neutral
