How we roll |

Following the announcement of our move to Warhammer and with an infusion of veteran Blades players joining us in anticipation of the new game, we finally got some hands on time with the game itself in the closed-beta stages. With pvp at the heart of WAR's gameplay, we quickly made the decision to roll on a fully open RvR server, as we feel this will provide us with the most unique and fulfilling experience the game can possibly offer. We have also reached a decision in regards to which realm we will represent at launch, obviously after much internal debate.
Several factors played into this latter decision, but most importantly we looked at the population figures. Pre-beta polls, post-beta polls, our own personal records of server activity across several beta servers, and projected launch polls all pointed to the same conclusion. One side appeared to be outnumbered by a significant margin. While we understand and accept the possibility that this could change come launch, ultimately the margin was consistently drastic enough for us to conclude that the safe bet here entailed us not ignoring these extensive figures. Bottom line, and with all due respect to the Warhammer development team, we simply are not going to take what we essentially view as a huge leap of faith in regards to their surface claims that this will not be an issue.
Being a guild that never backs down from a presented challenge and with many other well-known guilds having made public their decision to roll Destruction, Blades of Wrath has decided to roll against the perceived odds by taking the side of...

Hammering the War Drum |

The Drums of War Beat Again and Horns Call the Warriors Home.
Leaving AOC behind in disappointment, we are now currently contacting all BoW members and the most serious gamers we know with the prospect of uniting under one BoW banner for the launch of Warhammer. We are planning on coming out of the gates full force with quite possibly the most powerful incarnation of BoW ever assembled.
We will be going for a PVP centric experience in WAR, to take full advantage WAR's gameplay, which will be focused on RVR (Realm vs Realm) combat, allowing players to level almost exclusively via PVP. This game offers a very different MMO experience than the majority of our PVE-end-game experiences. While there is PVE raiding, the heart of this game is in RVR combat. What we do know however is that we are as skilled in PVP as we are in PVE, so enemies beware.
For anyone interested, do your homework and take a good look at what WAR is. This game will be very PVP heavy in the higher end. We plan on entering this game with a fight like hell everyday mentality. Getting ganked while you level is a reality and rather than complaining you should return the favor in kind. Killing people to level up is a major part of the game. The guilds are “living guilds” and your PVP contributions matter, that means that idleness is bad for the guild. This game is about throwing down and beating in some face, not only for the realm but the prestige and strength of your guild.
Our roster is already boasting massive potential from the players already on board; still, we are always looking for talented players to further bolster the ranks. The current debate is currently whether we roll Order or Destruction. So if you intend to be a serious longterm WAR player and are starving for a ripe and fierce challenge, then register and join in on our discussion.If WAR shapes up the way it certainly appears to be, our planning and organization will be a major payoff.
Time will tell if Blades of Wrath will stand for...
...Order...
...or Destruction...
But one thing is for certain: our enemies will feel the Wrath of our Blades yet again.
Come join our Warhammer: Age of Reckoning discussion on the forums today.
