IoJ only comes out to fight Sunday through Thursday, when there are less people on to fight against.

Good fights this weekend. Thank you to all SoR commanders and guilds that are fighting and keeping this interesting.

Looking forward to some more good fights this week, keep it up!

LOL 5 of us in Greenwater in SoR BL destroyed the SoR zerg multiple times, was so fun dropping the hammer on em. We went around taking supply camps before that and they'd eventually send 20 to take us out after we wiped 10 of them over and over. Thanks for the loot bags <3

Well blackgate just got shafted. I log on to a +30 ppt and see blackgate fighting inside DE so go over there and help wipe them. Several more attempts to take dawns and some minor skirmishes around the camps. We finally start pushing garrison because blackgate is trebbing dawns from there and the sever crashes.
Most people get back in as soon as they can and we take a fortified garrison against no defenders what so ever.

Although it was our ninja golem blitz getting both DB/Garr/EH in SoR in 15-20min or so but nice defending at the Dawn tower from SoR in SoR borderland Sadly our time was out for today! (after the server massive crash we decided not to login) Cya tomorrow hopefully if the commander decide not to farm more mists lol =-='''

To be frank, I've enjoyed playing against SoR and IoJ much more than against sbi and JQ.  SoR and IoJ seem to take themselves much less seriously and thump chests much less frequently.

If either JQQ or sbi end up in T2, the other two servers should just double team them hard from day one!

Yeah the lag, disconnects, crashes and build updates have been frustrating. Last night was awful.

Speaking of which, nice rush at SM last night SoR after the build update. That was a close one. I think the inner gate got as low as 25% before we were able to get enough people there to push you off of it and eventually back outside.

Shame you guys where fun to fight against. =/
Now our master pvdoor commander is doing what they do best and turning the whole map blue against no defenders.

Don't fret. Our EU guys should be on soon to give you something to do.

Had fun last night with TL, Drgn, IDOL, and others. Not much of an EB player since I tend to help coordinate Puggles, and the EB Puggles always seem to be particularly unruly. It's a fun map though when you have coordination... and golems. MOAR GOLEMS.

Unlikely to happen. That being said, it would be quite funny if JQ dropped down and they did manage to lose, through whatever means that may take. They seem to be in a state where their server might collapse if they lost in T2, given all of the partisan bickering on their site.

A collapsed JQ might make the top tiers more interesting, since it'd be SBI/BG/SoS in T1, meaning T2 will be free from T1-coverage server presences. T2 has had some fun fights these last few weeks, but it's never been quite as close in server coverage as the T7 matches, for example, always seem to be. A history of T2 matches:

Spoiler

9-29: Eredon Terrace (T1 cov) v. Isle of Janthir (T2 cov) v. Crystal Desert (T2 cov, pre-descent)
10-06: Stormbluff Isle (T1 cov) v. Isle of Janthir (T2 cov) v. Blackgate (T2 cov, pre-pickups)
10-13: Eredon Terrace (T7? cov) v. Isle of Janthir (T2 cov) v. Crystal Desert (T2-3 cov)
10-20: Henge of Denravi (T7? cov) v. Blackgate (T1-2 cov) v. Eredon Terrace (T7? cov)
10-27: Isle of Janthir (T2 cov) v. Henge of Denravi (T7? cov) v. Sea of Sorrows (T1 cov)
11-03: Sea of Sorrows (T1 cov) v. Sanctum of Rall (T2 cov) v. Isle of Janthir (T2 cov)
11-10: Sea of Sorrows (T1 cov) v. Sanctum of Rall (T2 cov) v. Isle of Janthir (T2 cov)
11-17: Blackgate (T1 cov) v. Sanctum of Rall (T2 cov) v. Isle of Janthir (T2 cov)

Nah JQ has a good core and that partisan bickering has been removed. They'll be fine, i'd be interested to fight them in T2 o_O

[PunNyJR]

T1 T2 will likely be the same next week. even SoS blows both of them. in T2 u cant get more than 2043. you just have to wait them getting down here...

it's actually looking like 2 weeks match up now though with this points system.

[Hennet]

Blackgate needs to blow out the rest of the match for JQ to fall to T2 next week.

Which won't happen. SoR is too good, as is IoJ when they have the numbers on a map to make some progress. More importantly, neither server rolls over when behind on the scoreboard. A true blow out requires at least one, but usually two other servers to take their ball and go home, and that simply doesn't happen in the top 2 or 3 tiers, except when HoD and ET were dropping through which was an anomaly of course.

If thats the case, it will probably be the same match again next week. BG needs 58 points to overtake JQQ. I guess SoS could focus hard on JQQ to make them lose more points, but that would risk them losing to SBI

SoS is looking to win, not do anyone else any favors. And if they keep at it, they will.

That would be awesome.  If SoS can move from T2 and take T1 we've achieved a lot of balance, though it might be far more from attrition than all the work people tried to do behind the scenes.

[chuckles79]

We'd love to oblige, but JQ isn't going away; no matter how much turmoil their community site may be in.  I'm sure that a drop to #3 would demoralize them and BG will be back after that.
GL all of you!

Oh how I do love when black gate owns anz and mendons and are attacking veloka, IoJ decides to come and take bravost while blackgate also hits langors/danelon.

Yeah, and let's be honest - we don't have the numbers that sbi and JQ have.  Last night, for example, I spent about 5 hours in SoR borderlands.  At one point I swear it was 8 players from IoJ, 10 players from SoR and 12 players from BG on the ENTIRE map.

Everyone was in EB. I was in there as well until my client crashed at around 11:30pm PST, and when I logged back in there was a queue for EB which shocked me. I'm sure it was short, but I zoned into BG BL instead and flipped Titan a couple of times before I went to bed.

♥ ♥ ♥  Doesn't that mean it is time for you to come home and lead the Rohirrim to victory instead?   We might come down to T2 just visit you and share the love.  Miss you guys.

Also since it's been awhile, here's a score update for those at work or whatever else life is making you do.

I think everyone from JQ can say that we want TW back they are a wonderful guild and SoR is lucky to have them. I for one look forward to fighting TW if SoR and JQ ever matchup because I think it will be a very fun matchup in NA Primetime especially.

[Flake]

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! No seriously they should come back.

[ZCKS]

Sadly I think IOJ has pretty much lost almost all intrust in WvW.

I know we have allot of people on our server, allot of whom have decent skills for wvw or at least follow orders well enough.

Sadly most of the time whenever I join a WvW fight we have the outmanned buff so it seems nobody gives a rats @$$ about even trying anymore.

Maybe more people would be intrusted if they had more tangable rewards for fighting & winning.

[crowea]

How about we push SBI down to tier 2 for you in a week's time

I think JQ has more fight in them.
