    RoC is not back and will never be back. The few of us with ties to RoC simply went to back to our old home before Enrage existed. We welcome the new friends we've made over the years into our small TW community, but we will not be rebuilding it.

    If we decide to re-join the major TW scene again, we will join another faction we find acceptable. I wonder if any major faction will be interested in ~15 people of questionable reputation but undeniable skill and experience for their TW uses :P

    Start over and make your own? 15 is a good founding start off.

    QQ... I don't think I am welcome back to my "home" before Enrage. Although I did heard that they have a thread for every application. And in certain applicants... spawn killing is a big no no. LOL.
    1. If I kill you; do something about it yourself, don't go complaining to my wife.
    2. If you have less kill counts then me, don't expect me to take pk advice from you.
    3. If you are hiding behind an alt, don't expect me to acknowledge your existence.

    We should make guilds pay us to join them.

    Something like 10m per week per person + initial payment of webcam session by a suitable female member to Best BM. b:cute

    Minor issue, the bigger picture in the application you refer to might have been one of trust, considering the person in question was also the one sharing enrage forums with other factions

    Very true, but believing you can trust someone and knowing 100% you can't are two different things.

    Rad... spawn killing... good memories. Believe it or not... a +6 stun xbow spawn barrage hurts tt60/70 armors more then +12 r9 spawn barrage on nirv/r9 armors.

    The day is finally here, where Enrage is officially dead.

    I don't want to make this too long, but it may end up that way as this is the last, official thread for Enrage. I am only going to talk about the past while of Enrage, not the entire history.

    Only a few months ago, Enrage was at the top of the faction chain. Eating people up in TW, practically steam rolling everybody. Things were normal in Enrage. People were having their fun doing what it was that they enjoyed and besides little bits of drama every now and then, the faction was strong.

    As time went on after those few months, Enrage's spirit began to die off. It first became noticeable when drama between leadership and the "Karma" group became public, and roughly 20 people left to follow Jenguin to her faction. This was the first severe blow for Enrage. We had lost a good amount of our seasoned TW'ers, but even with that loss, we were okay as a faction. GD won their first 1v1 against Enrage shortly after that group left, but we had fun nonetheless. I congratulate GD for coming such a long way and being able to defeat Enrage in a 1v1 TW. You deserve the title of #1 TW faction as of right now. :)

    After that point, PWI had announced an official map reset, and that it was going to be done again every 6 months. This announcement was another huge blow to Enrage as it meant a good portion of our time, would be spent dealing with noob TW's, and having no fun at all. This was especially so if factions were on another side of the map from us. A lot of people did not like this update, and it was a huge shot to Enrage. The part of the game we specialized in, was basically gone. More people had left the faction due to this update, for obvious reasons. After that, more people started to spill out left right and center for various reasons such as real life issues, not wanting to be in a dying faction, bored of the game, etc etc. For whatever reasons people had, Enrage was dying off, and we were left with about 165 people.

    A good portion of the active Enrage members left had been spending their time on another game, and this caused ill-content with a lot of people. It made some people leave, it made some people go inactive and it caused too much unnecessary drama. I am not going into further detail on this part.

    The next big hit to Enrage was the leaving of the likes of Aesthor, scrubby, Kyia, Kashin etc. A massive argument between some of the officers and the leaders broke out on the officer forums, and at one point, it caused said group leader, Aesthor (yes you're the leader!) to leave. Surely with the loss of probably our 10~ strongest people, it was done after that. After that as well, people kept pouring out of the faction and we ended up with only 129 or so people after that week. Within just a short while, Enrage had lost roughly 70 people.

    Last week's TW came, and we managed to defend 2/3 lands with only 55 online. Was too bad we couldn't show to SilvrDigrz, because I'm sure it would have been fun. Once the weekend had past, to present day, Enrage was left with 112 people. I don't know who left at that point.

    Now, we come to what happened today. There was a thread on the Enrage forums requesting something be done so the faction doesn't die, via Dajaji. The thread turned into me finally (long overdue..) stepping up and basically saying "I am willing to take leadership of the faction, and get us back up." Anne ended up saying no to the idea, as well as other requests the previous day to give up lead. I tried my hardest to convince her to give me leadership, because we could have recovered, or at least I felt we could have. The final answer was no, and in one last ditch effort, a do or die situation, I asked that if people wanted the faction to keep going, and to not just die off like it was heading, that they take the time to post on that thread, and show Anne their support for me getting lead. I forced nobody to post, and roughly within 20 minutes, at least a dozen people spoke up and supported the idea of a lead change/me getting it. A few minutes after, the forums were locked to where nobody could post on it, and Anne/Zaph logged on to PWI, and kicked almost 100 people with no notice.

    http://prikachi.com/images/505/4544505E.png

    The person who said "But I asked if anyone wanted lead, and nobody stepped up!" was the one to kick everyone when someone finally stepped up and personally asked for lead.

    Anneliesse and Zaphael, have killed Enrage. I know both of them did a lot of work to keep Enrage alive in the past, but as of recent, their efforts or lack there of, put Enrage to death.

    I personally thank you for the work you put into the faction, but in the end, you both screwed up, and you upset a vast majority of people to fulfill your own personal desires.

    There you have it, a semi-brief outlook on what happened to the great Enrage. The legacy we have left behind will never be outmatched, and nobody shall come close to what we've all done over the years.

    I thank everybody who helped make Enrage what it ended up being, for better or for worse. Everything happened for a reason, and everybody in one way or another, has had an impact directly or indirectly on Enrage.

    Rest in Peace Enrage.

    1. love that most of your "support" comes from people who weren't here for the first time (and also people who..ironically enough...all play pwv with you)
    2. too little too late. love how you think you can run 2 factions on 2 versions of the game (oh yeah, thats right... you arent being attacked for that yet...guess that's just zaphy that gets attacked)
    3. LOL that we screwed up. i only did what my ex officers asked of me.... just took me a month to realize they were right. sorry, but they were.


    good luck to you, all of you. let enrage die as was intended. its history. ancient history.

    Wow, is all I can say.

    I think I remember saying that passing lead to Anne wasn't your best idea, yes she did a great deal of good and I have no idea of the reason why you passed lead to her, but OMFGWTFISTHIS.

    Someone was WILLING to try and rebuild Enrage, and as you had stated before Anne "Take leadership(whatever you said), Mystic was WILLING. It seems a good deal of members also agreed with him.

    Remember, it's the members that are the faction, not the leader.

    It really doesn't matter who supports him, Anne.. I don't even think it would matter if it was someone else who stood up and said they would lead. People just wanted some sort of change. That has always seemed to be one of the biggest issues with Enrage.. it was always about what "was" not what "will be". Too many people still see the guild as it was in the beginning.. but people come and go, things change, adaptations are made. Too many times have I heard "that's not the Enrage way" or "old Enrage was never like that", but things can't always be as they once were.

    I think you said all that was on my mind. Mystic was in Enrage how long? I'm sure he loves this faction as much as most of us older members did. I was in two factions in pw. Enrage was home to me for about 2 or more years. I'm aware I'm no longer in enrage so i have no say, however, Anne, I didn't know you too well, but you did seem reasonable. I'm sure you realize Enrage doesn't belong to you, I believe fully this descision is not yours to make, it's Enrages. And it seems to me, they want to keep it alive. As a past member who loved enrage, I agree.
