• HEADLINES: Directory calls to increase presence on US10

ASPERMONT, W.L. - The Directory pleads all company members who have alts to help tour the South and interact with players to save them from the Eternal Premium. Those who have alts may gear up during the trade run using the storage and should spend the rest of the week down South combating Eternal Premium’s influence. Help us, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re our only hope.

• EDITORIAL “Our Future”

Irishkaiser - Our future depends on the survival and state of our beloved Homeserver and her beleaguered people. It is no wonder why we vehemently protest against premium incursions and show acidic hate for them, for what would you feel if strange foreign peoples who for no other purpose than their own pleasure came to your own lands and started laying waste to it - destroying your community, nation and family by their mere presence, whether by force or by company, they are wiping you and your blood out.

We have went through similar trials before and the Company has emerged stronger every time and triumphed over every adversity that came our way - even adversity from our own ranks who were purged with conviction. Our strength lies in our ability to openly criticize and correct each other on what to do without any repercussions for our beliefs and we have remained nimble and flexible which allows us to quickly change tactics in situations not only on the battlefield in-game but on the battlefield meta-game. I have not seen any other clan make this a habit except us - all other clans seem oppressive(in relative to us). To honor we call you, freemen, not slaves(even you, boonut). For who are so free as the sons of the waves?

Remember, this is why we endured, this is why we’ve triumphed in the past but we are facing a new deadly threat who by means of attrition(keeping the population of white players down and increasing premiums on US10) are wearing our much fewer numbers down.

We must call upon our characteristic ability to adapt and see if we can save the server in the process from utter destruction by the Eternal Premium. We have proudly defended our server and the premiums may know that though maybe we are difficult to put down, they may know we get tired as well. We must swallow our pride and not face the premiums head-on all the time as it was in the past. For every fight, though we win, means we wasted our time and only delayed the inevitable.

We must find new ways to save our people and our homeserver, for if it doesn’t work the third time, why do it again?
