Greetings fellow members of the wonderful server Basilisk Crag. As some of you may know I've had a revolutionary idea for GvG and PvP in general for our server that was first brought up in my interview with the Basilisk Crag News Network. I am happy to finally unveil this event and I am looking for the support for Vanarchs and Guild Masters alike to help support this idea and bring a true sense of structured wide scale GvG to our server.

Without further delay I would like to introduce to you...Province Wide Wars! (PWW for short name if subject to change.)

Province Wide Wars will utilize a Vanarch's entire province into a wide scale GvG war zone for people to participate in. It will be held in a channel other than channel one of a zone as to not disrupt levelers and will involve an Attack/Defend, Capture/Hold structure for all willing guilds to participate in. There will be two sides, an attacking side and a defending side. The Defending side will consist of the guild whom the Vanarch of the area belongs to and his/her allies and The Attacking Side will be the "enemy" guilds seeking to destroy and conquer (not literally) the defending guilds army and defenses. Let me explain the rules in more detail.




I apologize first hand for my lack of paint skills but you are all a smart bunch so I'm sure this is enough to get the general Idea. What you see above is a general depiction on how the Attacking/Defending sides will set up. Attackers will always start in the defending areas main city, in this case Cutthroat Harbor. From there the enemy guilds can create small tactical squads of players, zerg groups of players, and get whatever arrangements they might need before attacking (Sending out spies/scouts first, buff up, etc.) The defending guilds job is to set up prior to the attack in strategic areas to repel the attackers once they begin invading, defenders can fall back, regroup, call for nearby squads for reinforcements, whatever is in their power to make sure they hold their stations strong. The Rallying points will be key areas for attackers where you can regroup, rebuff, and get ready for your next strike but defenders won't let you take them so easily...Of course there are people who will just run into the rallying points to be safe from PvP, but the way rallying points works is if you are on say the attacking side and run into a rally point full of stationed defenders, the side with the least people in the rallying point are considered prisoners of war and even though they are safe for the time being, they will be treated as such...that is unless you escape (run out) and engage later with a larger force to take the point. The green X represents the defenders main army, the attackers goal is to reach the main army and engage with the enemy guilds Guild Leaders (most likely stationed with the main force.)

Now that you all have a general understanding on the structure let me continue to go into more detail on how this benefits this server. First off this is the kind of mass scale GvG people have been craving and it can incorporate GvG alliances (not voting alliances), Mercenary Guilds (sell your force to the highest bidder on either side), and the best part is the event can evolve as long as more and more people are coming to participate. Maybe instead of attacking just Freeholds for example you can set up another GvG attack/defend event south in a different area of the same province and have armies fighting there as well. This event however will require assistance, from all those willing to turn this into something great. You can whisper me in game for more details or reply here. Prizes will be bragging rights, GvG victories, the thrill of wide scale GvG and maybe some high gold underground bets between forces. There is no scheduled time or date for this event because I first want to see which Vanarchs are willing to use their provinces for this. Tell me what you think of the event or if you have any questions/comments/concerns.

Use the new Gathering Points! :D

Yeah Drago, his looks awesome! :) Count me in.

In case some of you are confused on how Attack/Defending sides are formed, lets use this as an example.

Defenders:Divine, Terarist, Nagafen

Attackers: Illuminus, Point of Interest, Revolt

Attackers would GvG against Defenders and vice versa, squads from the defending armies guilds will station themselves in points of the area to repel invaders from reaching the main force and attackers would group up to push past the defense.

I really like this idea. I hope it catches on because this could be an awesome event.

we will need to do a test run, and check with rules and all those ''what if'' questions.


oh and, what are we defending exactly?

We can do a test run, I understand some of the concepts may be confusing but once it's applied on the battlefield it makes a lot more sense. Also Defenders are defending well...the zone. I guess you can say if I were a roleplayer I would word it something like..


"A new dawn has approached Ostgarath, all zones were silent besides the early morning chirping of birds, the waves crashing on the beaches and roars of BAM's as they awake their slumber...but there is a far greater noise in the south....As "The Dark Side" takes over Cutthroat Harbor and establishes a base of operations, it is up to "The Light Side" to defend against the invaders who dare step foot on their land with ill-intent. As a squad of "The Dark Side" members campaign past Cutthroat Beach, they are suddenly ambushed by an equal force of "The Light Side" and repel the invaders from venturing forward, the squad of members from "The Dark Side" then call for reinforcements stationed back at the beach and sure enough they get past the first defensive line "The Light Side" Have.

Basically the goal is to push through all of the enemies defenses until you meet their main army consisting of the guild masters, (10 points each on death) and their most elite troops.

PM Sent! Nice RP :P

To those that think that this event is too difficult to set up and maintain, it honestly isn't. To get started all it really takes is for all guilds to meet up in one province, declare GvG's against one another to form the sides, and have defenders hurry off and leave squads of people around the area they choose to defend. Once the defenders are all set up it's just a matter of the attacking guilds GvGing their way across the zone. Again with the cooperation of guild leaders and Vanarchs this event can be a lot of fun for everyone and run smoothly.
