Fright Night Folks,


We can have over 400 show for a call to arms. On friday at 7PM UK Time, we will be meeting at castle british for a mass force to take out the ninth rift.

We didnt let the ophidian invasion stop us and beat it back more then once. The first shard to fully clear it. Friday night is event night all.
Lord Light is back in action after a brief stutter in service things will begin again.

Friday im calling for every guild, non guild, and RP to meet up at castle british. Bring everything and everyone you got and make sure you are insured. We need discorders and mages with EVs. Dexxers with swords and monster bait.

We had a turn out of 400 defenders during the ophidian invasion. Lets do it again shall we?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

and again fought last night.

but there must be much more people to even survive the first minutes!!

the beginning was very good. secured the entrance with e-fields and no spawn inside. but after lets say a minute most of the front guards were dead and the monsters walked up to the fields. the void shot its fireballs and most of the rear guards fell.
the 2 or 3 survived ressed one or two fellows and were immediatly slain by the forces.

We could have the best taktic but without being enough theres no chance!

FatherGanja has written a post on U.hall, which sums up the tactics other shards have applied in order to slay the Void Shadow:

Aye each of the shards who have beat it didnt have one central focal point but a few.

I particularily liked this paragraph..

When the enemy is at your res point and getting closer you move to where the enemy isn't and start a new attack/res station. Like the ebb and flow of water you stay away from the bulk of the force and keep your fellow warriors alive. Once this tactic spread (note that you can teleport from one Virtue "area" to another through the star field) it didn't take long before we had every Virtue area manned, the front entrance clear and all the spawn contained in the middle area. Even paragon devourers couldn't stand up to the assault from all sides.


"Speed is the essence of war. Take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness; travel by unexpected routes and strike him where he has taken no precaution."
