Come ONE, come all... all puns aside, this Wednesday at 9pm GMT join us for the first weekly GUILD WAR! All guilds are welcome to join us on the fields of battle and fight for glory, honor, prestige and a LARGE CASH PRIZE!!!

So come and fight, settle old scores... create new grudges and engage in deadly combat! Ever wonder which guild is the most combat ready? Or which guild has the best pilots? Have a new strategy you're dying to test?

Then join us for GUILD WAR! Again, thats GUILD WAR this Wednesday at 9pm in Sedina, sector to be announced.

Not in a guild? Still want in? We will be allowing some... (actual number dependent on turn out)... un-guilded players to group up for a shot at the prize and glory! Who knows, from this experience... perhaps a new guild will form?

So join us for guild war and prove your guild is the best, the strongest, the smartest... and in the end significantly richer than when you started!

BANNED SHIPS: none
BANNED WEAPONS: Biocom mines
BANNED GUILDS: none
BANNED PLYERS: none

Dude, why wensday? and why 9pm?

lol... why not? Most folks have nothing going on wednesday nights. However, this is a trial run... we are going to try it on a few different nights to see when we get the best turn out, so if wednesdays are no good for you... fear not, because it may end up... (in its final form)... to be a different time/day.

For reference, this is one hour after the Midweek Nation War.

why are u allowing swarms?

Because I never agreed with them being banned from NW, they are easy to dodge, most people don't like them any ways and in the long run they are more detrimental to the person using them... (in general)

Heh, the main reason they were banned from NW wasn't because of what they do to people, it was for lag issues. Get enough people shooting swarms in a sector and you'll REALLY see some sector lag!

I wish I could make this war, but I have a conference that starts today, and 21:00 GMT is right smack-dab in the middle of registration. :(

Oh, if that's the case, its ok.

Though its not always night for everyone when its night fer ye.

ye i fully except swarms are easy ish to dodge, if u are in a large furball and someone simply fires off swarms not aimed at anyone thats alot of damage, also new players are bound to show with them

Indeed swarms and l mines in quantity used to cause considerable lag. Seems sensible to allow them for this event to test whether that is still the case. If they still do cause lag it is valuable feedback on VO anyway.

9pm gmt might be too late for many europeans. it's 11pm for me, but i guess i could manage to be there

so why didnt it happen?

Sounds like fun but the timing doesn't work for me. I'll be curious to know if lmines and swarms work out.
