This is the story of five friends, looking to live out of a house, to have their lives raped. The real world, Agon.

Posted on January 6, 2010 by SynCaine

2010 Predictions

Posted on December 31, 2009 by SynCaine

The NA server had its busiest night to date yesterday, with VAMP/NEM (and basically the whole server) being involved in two city sieges. The first (Kvet) was our siege, the second (Mam) we were hired to help take. We failed … Continue reading →

Another epic naval battle (video)

Posted on December 29, 2009 by SynCaine

Why did this have to happen on Monday, the night I don’t play. Damnit. Video really picks up at around the 4 minute mark. The on-deck ship fighting was amazing, ValRoth is a beast. Hopefully in an upcoming Sea Fortress … Continue reading →

You call THAT content?

Posted on December 18, 2009 by SynCaine

Now this might be a first; Tobold starting Friday Blog Wars? Who is this guy, and where has the real Tobold/Gevlon gone? The funny thing about all of this is we are going by ‘numerical’ measure of content, as if … Continue reading →
