The History of Raging Tides.

Sophia - Raging Tide

Start from when the server opened. b:victory

Let's see how much everyone remembers their time here.

(I'm possibly the most boring person on the server so I'm not posting mine.)

Man - Raging Tide

Well i surmise you are talking about TW / Faction history. Not much to say before the map really fills up. Some power factions have only fought one real TW and just existed Too bad in the early weeks there weren't more TW like Insight Vs Aurora.

Lots of factions came and went, there is no shame in their failure. All things have a certain time they are fun, and when the expiration date comes its time to move on.

Me personally I joined resolve randomly, everyone was recruiting 20+ or something on the second day of server. I remember 3 or so days into server when i finally got to lvl 30 and decided to do a few Oracle I's. I went over there and here comes I think it was TeddyBear lvl 70+ wielding calamitie axes. Then Fuzzy popped his head in "Fuzzy was just wondering
if anyone would like barb buffs."

Resolve didn't do a TW the week all the other factions did, I then joined Empire at the urging of my woman Aresisus. Then he being a faction hopper joined Insight while I being a loyal wolf stayed in Empire. Empire was a pretty nice faction. Then Nimpo Asher Toytank Veritas Carson Pixels, Zorander formed the heart of the QQme faction. Who promtly captured the only land without a faction teleport b:surrender If i had a regret it would be attacking Varden so much. They were off the map once but show resiliency and now have 4 lands.

I'd like to hear some stories of early server.

BeingHope - Harshlands

Well for me... (Time to have people start QQ about me saying tl;dr)

Raging Tide started in December and I joined on the first day.... The first world chats I saw were from Fuzzy.... (LOL)

I got into Infamy at level 7 when it was actually level 15 (I'm still grateful for that even to today) and the leader was of course NightRage and the director was... Omg I forgot uhh omg O____O Oh no!!!!!!! Oh well I'll go back to see her name in my friends list anyways...

Anyways a few weeks later she quit the game pretty much and a week or two after daddy (Andronikos) became the director.. Oh yeah I forgot, rewind! For our first TW bidding (or was it second oops, yeah it was second), we had a bid fest with Aurora and we got up to 30mil (b:shocked)

The top 3 factions in alphabetical order was Aurora, Infamy and Insight. But then Aurora or was in Insight, I forgot which one crashed, but those two crashed and before I knew it, Infamy was the best faction on the server.

Anyways, thats pretty much the history because it got pretty boring after. Then again, there is QQme but I'm not sure how they're doing currently b:surrender

Ritalin - Raging Tide

tl;dr

Anyway, first director was LightRage.

Nightrage was once a low level? omfg can't be b:shocked

Asher - Raging Tide

TL;DR

4 factions empire, aurora, insight, infamy had potential for sick TW's if everyone stuck in their factions. Empire had terrible leadership which lead to me and few others forming QQme which gave Infamy a big boost of 7 & 8x, Empire then rebuilt and re-fell again resulting in a lot more going to Infamy. Aurora then fell (something with cutie eyes?) which lead to a lot of their members going to infamy and insight. Resolve then got banned for fake bidding, which resulted in a lot to infamy and Insight. Insight then fell to a fail leader (cuddlepanda) resulting in a boost to QQme and Infamy. By this point Infamy have 70% of the high levels on the server. QQme Vs Infamy was first true power faction war on server which sadly took what 3-4 months to begin?

IJS this server had so much potential in the beginning and looking back it totally did fail hardcore.

Archosaur is looking pretty sazzy atm with 2 nice PVP TW's taking place in the second week and RED being wiped off the map second week (it gets recycled though so some other noob guild took it later on in the night)

Well give it a bit more time to see if Archosaur will survive the test of time and drama as good as you might think.

I believe one faction will be a superpower, my bet is on Impulse/Narla/Ashuras, depending which either one of them survives drama while the other 2 fail.

Could work that all 3 will do great though, not saying there won't be any hope.

Russiee - Raging Tide

Asher's tl;dr:

I joined Insight, QQ'ed and left, joined Empire, QQ'ed and left. Nobody liked me on the server, so I took the QQme chant literally and rerolled on another server.

Accel - Raging Tide

BeingHope's list of top factions... b:laughb:laughb:laugh Infamy was nothing until Empire died

Rawrgh - Raging Tide

So in the beginning there was a group of babies on the TW map. Tommy was green, Chucky was whatever color Aurora was, Angelica was red, and Dill was blue. They all played with each other and times were good.

Then one day Chucky ran out of room on the playground and got scared and ran off.

Then Dill kept having his voice actor replaced until eventually the producers game up and removed Dill from the show.

Then the other babies got tired of Tommy just giving speeches about bravery and all the epic adventures they would have and all left.

With the other babies gone Angelica just took everyone's toys.


And this is how I choose to remember things.

IPwnUNub - Raging Tide

Well for me, the one the proberlly did a great impact and isnt on the TW maps are
-Resolve
-Insight

Personally they did last some time. Resolve was a good guild with lots of fun memebers with funny times. Resolve downfall was proberlly its "Leader" and yes, it proberlly is for most guilds.

Insight was proberlly the worse way of ending. Leader being **** or wat so ever, either way, miss the times when insight was still on the TW map.

Currently, I cant wait to see what happens next if u ask me. All major guilds are making a stand and most seems strong. Well, Most.

Rawrgh - Raging Tide

Insight was dead long before mime got "****"

BeingHope's list of top factions... b:laughb:laughb:laugh Infamy was nothing until Empire died

Yeah... only the first level 3 faction, the first faction to take a land, the first faction to begin recruiting (long before the server started). We were not-sucking long before the rest of the server started sucking.

Week 1: I see Olee as an Insight Marshal. That was enough for me to say "GG Insight."

Week 2: After bidding war with Aurora, I pop on their Vent to ask WTF is up and do they have no idea how much money we have. One of their marshals apologizes and mentions how the leader is an idiot. I remember this sort of morale and am not surprised when they disappear eventually.

I hear stories about Empire's leader disappearing. Leadership bounces around and eventually falls to Kiss_This. GG Empire.

Asher takes a bunch of Empire members. I say GG Empire yet again and chuckle as a couple of my own members go to join QQme.

As I run Gammas everyday, all the Insight I run with seem to hate where they are. They recognize that MrMime is an idiot, and I manage to recruit a few through gamma.

Exodus: Leader Aurora is an idiot, nothing more needs to be said here, he just plain sucked.

I was really disappointed that Resolve died. Forks seemed like a pretty cool guy, and the only other person recruiting post-server.

Motoko - Raging Tide

Lets see, so. Insight wins week 1 day 1 TW the fastest yet those weaklings at that fail faction get red >.> Dreams and Aurora are the surprise TW winners of week 1.

Tophole ragequits Insight in the first instance of what will come to be known as Fish QQ or, lolkanye.

WrongTarget ragequits as director of Insight in a dispute over TW strats (last time he is a factor).

Noob red faction goes on to exterminate the obvious threat of... Dreams...

Couri oracles to lvl 147, makes Leviathan.

Every Officer of Insight thinks they are/should be leader, 1/2 the high levels leave.

Aurora smells blood, decides to attack. Gets turtled by Bloop, Kazeness and I, for 3 hours.

Just when Empire is clearly the strongest on the server drama ensues.

Insight gets some strength back, Olee decides to give daily speeches on faction unity in broken english (seems to be a RT phenomenon).

Resolve fake bids to fend off Empire, the only time since the first 2 hours of the server that Resolve was worth mentioning.

Noob red finally finishes their glorious crusade against brazil... I mean uhhh dreams, jajaja.

Insight rolls Aurora off the map, CutieEyes assures me he will be back, with a warsoul weapon... like the one he made on his last server...

Noob BM bails from sinking ship >.>

Red faction instantly becomes pro and full of win <.<

Moar dramaz in Empire. QQme is formed, a very ambitious faction whose main goals involve waiting around at OT, world chatting, cash shopping, and rerolling on (the new PvP server) Archosaur...

Resolve finally dies, Empire dies, WT steals a nix using TW funds, Mime steals a crapload more TW funds, Insight dies.

Asher quits, QQme's appeal increases 100,000 fold.

Infamy continues to fight the good fight vs non-factors and mobs. Mobs put up a valiant fight.

Infamy starts losing members to QQme (Cause those people wanted real competitive TWs, like the one a few days ago >.>).

Infamy vs QQme war. Concensus in Infamy is a 15 minute roll. Concensus server-wide is 15 minute roll. I guess about 90 minutes. War lasts 2 1/2 hours >.>

Luci takes up permanent residence at OT.

Leviathan starts actually looking strong and stuff >.>

Nimpo goes to jail, or the hospital, or suffers large intestine damage while in jail which lands him in the hospital, idk. QQme dramaz.

Infamy vs QQme round 2. concensus in Infamy is an hour long war, I agree, so does server. War lasts 7 minutes >.>

Infamy takes the whole map, splits into Infamu and QQyou, epic TWs, I wtfpwn NightRage repeatedly, the end, jajaja

Rawrgh - Raging Tide

And then Rawrgh uses armageddon, everyone on the server dies.

Chuck Norris and King Leonidas come out on the ruins.

Me, Chuck Norris, and Leonidas have an epic battle.

Was guildless and doin well until lvl 25 when Rawrgh recruited me to Insight

pking at lvl 30-40 with insight member.. Jabberjaws, Kade, Jack, and Olee..
Pking empire Members.. Talim, Bootie, and Barrage. on a daily basis.

Rage merges with Insight

Back then Infamy was a non factor

Ragequit Insight and went to Empire at lvl 40/41 (Cant remember)..

Pk at those lvls ruined by Mr. Andronikos (5x at the time).. Took it upon himself to pk empire members because his guildie forgot to use Safety lock and lost his mount.. lol

Grew with Empire through lvl 85.. Insight falls.. Aurora falls.. Resolve falls..

No, Aurora disbanded because of leadership change, from CutieEyes to KingSlayer. Lenayra and a few other people supposedly donated coin to Imperium (Empire + Aurora) and didnt get their money back when Imperium fell apart because of Nirtus stealing the Sage true form.

Fin.

To be completely honest, I preferred King as leader because of the rumors I heard about Cutie on other servers.

Made a cleric on RT after friend asked me to play again

Friend was in Infamy, leveled to 20 so I could join

QQed due to high number of clerics, I feel less needed

Infamy wins first TW, I didn't have 100 hours.

Infamy marches to their first territory, I lure cyannir spectres onto members there, nobody knew who was doing it.

Insight and Empire were the factors at the time other than us.

Empire falls apart and rerolls as QQme, players vs everyone faction

I oracle

I go on gamma runs

Hypers come out after lvl 86 achieved.

QQme becomes TW faction.

I pk noobs at hidden orchid, so does veritas.

1 shot veritas after he unstealthed to kill nab

I run like a wuss in case he returns.

Some leveling, ragequitting, "unstacking", and insight dying happened.

Infamy attacks QQme, Infamy vent full of "what the ****, pay attention dumbass" kind of remarks.

Nuala leaves Infamy for QQme, forums have fun with it.

Some infamy leave for archosaur server because oracles ruined RT.

Packs come back out.

Oracles come back out

Motoko gets Nirvana claws and starts wtfpwning bosses

Lucifer spends 65535 dollars and becomes a truck

Infamy starts pking each other after every instance they complete.

Gonjaqueen drops lunar weapon.

Doubledrops are back.

QQ because I'm only active cleric in Infamy

TT3-3 yields much gold mats

Couple more clerics start playing in Infamy, then one leaves faction

Fish OP awareness goes up 40 levels.

Harpy wraith still kills people.

FB109 still closed

:P was good times haha, now im at archosaur server, kinda reliving it over again.

so this is how it strted: when i first joined (1st day of RT) i joined BlueMoon at level 20.

BlueMoon became crappy due to others leaving to Infernal and other nooby factions

Infernal was Shadow's faction (Q_Q) then they merged with Resolve.

i didnt like resolve so i joined the, um... equinox on RT which turned out as a fail.

i joined Infamy cus i had friends from there from DreamWeaver Server. (CrackShot)(HolyDragon)

then after 2 weeks i tuned level 60 and i borrowd Stones TT 60 axes which was very nice of him.

few months later he noticed he gaved me TT 60 axes and he needed them for his TT 80.

so then he told Esuna i stole his axes, i gave his **** back.

i left infamy due to stress cus no help, Leveling is stressing.

Esuna tells ppl i left infamy and stole TT 60 mats 'n' Ran off with'em.

Joined Haven, Haven is greatest faction so far which i think.

And now i Just get on RT for PK action >,..,>
