We are gauging interest for the upcoming game. We will once again return to kicking some major ass! If you are interested check it out. Post your interest in the interest page. Spoiler: AA Memories After a long list of achievements both world and server first we have decided to retire the division for good due to lack of interest and lack of leadership interest in the game. We started very strong with an immense amount of research and study into the mechanics of the game and how to get a good headstart at release. We managed to grab the land we wanted to accumultaed well over 25+ guides to help us become an early success. We overcame early obstacles with our day 1 massive 80v80 battle with DVS for a large illegal tree farm which we managed to retain and used to build our empire. After we battled back the DVS assault we decided to steal some of their wood and the battle between XoO and DVS once carried in PS2 transfered to ArcheAge. With our wood in our hands we built our first fleets and sailed to Freedich and we rolled deep! When the West brought numbers to Freedich the East rallied! To return the favor we helped our own Eastern allies run trade packs as well as help fight off the West on multiple occasions! Of course we also fought hard on our home soil fighting off the West in Hasla on numerous occasions. http://www.twitch.tv/jes_gaming/c/5185912 After a long period of fighting we wanted a place to relax and enjoy the countryside of Archeage's landscape. So we were the first guild worldwise (NA/EU) to get a Guild Mansion. We beat the next guild by a full 2 weeks! With one world first we wanted another so we set our sight on the Kraken. We did not manage to get ourselves world first as one guild beat us but we did manage to get server first and we then filled our mansion with the tentacle goodness! With yet another first down we couldn't help ourselves so we anxiously prepared for Auroria. We got our miners organized and leveled up and prepared by sitting right outside of Auroria. We hit the area hard and fast and we held off the overwhelming numbers of the West so much so that during the massive server-wide PvP event we managed to grab the very first castle on the server. We are not sure if we were the world first or not sadly no data exists but our time on the grab was quite quick leaving other guilds in the dust. We successfully built up our castle and defended it and practiced sieging against Ironfist and ourselves. At one point no one wanted to fight us to we bought our own scroll and mailed it to Latinus who decided not to attack. We also helped our ally guilds defend their castle as they helped defend ours and our prosperity maintained. In the below screenshot you will see ASTN assaulting with several siege towers! With castle sieges under our belt we received our very first Black Pearl which would have also been a server first, but the individual was recruited after he finished his goal of assembling all 55 pieces to the ship. Still a worthy sight! We then st our sights on another server first by killing Morpheus. One of the late game bosses that no one was able to defeat. ASTN was attempting to beat us to it but we stepped in, killed them, and instead downed the boss ourselves! Then we did it again by killing off all the pirates in a massive global server event where all the factions came together. Spoiler: Planetside 2 Memories Server Rank #1 World Rank #5 Year and a half later still #1 TotalBiscuit & TR vs XoO & Vanu Alliance So basically XoO participated as an alliance member for "Vanu Alliance" to take on TotalBiscuit and his force "Let the Brit Drop". http://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/index.php?threads/recap-friday-night-ops-episode-15.70857/ The event was covered by a few developers and we ended up having a lot of fun. XoO fielded 2 full platoons with over 100 blood thirsty members participating in the event. Outnumbered 2:1 we managed to hold our own, full off some clever tactics and at the end of the day push the TR back into their waprgate. Much appreciation for the battle commanders participating in the event leading the platoons and squads efficiently and effectively. I think I can speak for everyone when I saw it was a blast. There are plans to setup another event with TotalBiscuit and even more things on the way for alliance and guild events. Stay tuned for more! SOE EVENT Today the glorious Vanu Sovereignty fought against the NC and TR on Esamir. The event was streamed and recorded by Luperza, a SOE developer and was the highlight of the Friday Night Op. http://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/index.php?threads/recap-friday-night-ops-episode-17.79817/ You can watch the event unfold in the link above. What originally was scheduled as a fight between the VA and NC turned into a 3-way battle. In the midst of the battle other servers joined the fray and created level 1 alternate characters just to participate in the event on Waterson. Our server is quickly growing to be the hot spot for organized events spearheaded by our very own PS2 division leader Fear the Amish! The battle was fierce and we managed to push the NC to their warpgate as well as fend off the TR trying to capture Indar with 52% population. Esamir had a nice balanced population of 35% for each faction and the wait to get onto Esamir was in the hours without premium status. By the events end XoO and the VA as well as other participating outfits thoroughly pushed the NC back into their holes. Of course it wasn't until after many of us logged out at 11:30PM EST that the NC population grew to 54% and managed to push the VS assault back. It was a tough battle all around and was surely a lot of fun for all. The NC proved that the VS are not the only organized faction on Waterson! The first event we battled TR on their home of Amerish. This even we fought the NC on their continent of Esamir. The next event will indeed have to be on Indar - home of the Vanu. VS DOMINATION At some point it will no longer be praiseworthy of commenting on, yet ANOTHER triple capture of the 3 continents, but until then weeeeee! When the Vanu Alliance showed up on Amerish population went from 16% to 80%. We captured the last continent in under an hour only holding 3 territories when we came to Amerish at the start of that hour. Yes, yes, I know zerging a map isn't something to brag about but organizing a large force to capture an entire continent in that hour I feel IS praiseworthy. I think this is the 5th time we have triple captured on Waterson, the most of any faction. Lets put the idea that the TR or NC have more control and better clans to rest. Xen of Onslaught and the Vanu Alliance dominate Waterson along with the many other skilled clans out there that support us in our operations. I could go on and on but I think it is easier to check here: https://www.xoohq.com/pages/accolades/ Time to win ladies! Get your pants off and lets kick some faces in!
Damn that pic at the bottom where the whole server joined up to kill Morpheus and fuck up Laughing Coffin lol
I so wish I could affoard this right now. I just dropped about 1.5k on my new rig. Once i finish building it today or tomorrow I'm gonna sell my old rig to try to get some game money up. I always miss the very begining of groups being started. AA, BnS, BDesert, ect. Always late to the badger party. Btw Kyoji here is a little video I spliced together with Adobe Premiere in about 10 minutes. I encoded it wrong so it jumps from 1080p to this weird small box which is really confusing. The days before shadowplay when I had nothing else to use besides fraps hahaha. here's the link to it, I'll link our craaazy Aerial Assault against Rguitar and Company including Ihearcolors. I'll edit post and link that vid later. Here my own video for now,
Awesome video, brings back the memories. While you may not be able to get into early access right away you can purchase the game once and it is free to play thereafter. Would love to have you back.
