It is with great sadness that I have been slowly thinking about and constructing this post. I am here to officially announce that the Volkmar Order chapter of Vendetta will be closing its doors and going idle until further notice.
The Order Warhammer Chapter of Vendetta was the pioneer guild that began on as a closed beta guild and then rolled on Azazel for the opening of the game and transferred later to Volkmar when Azazel went inactive. In our time on Azazel we were the top Order Guild in renown in the WORLD from release until the move to Volkmar, without exceeding about 175 players. This is a feat in itself, due to the guilds out there of 300, 400 and 500 members. We were also certain to make sure that tactics and organization were central to the identity of our guild.
We were active day and night and were among the pioneers of the Law and Order Alliance, which dominated the server for months. We encouraged inter guild cooperation and were the intrigal in the unification of the majority of Azazel Order guilds in the attempt to take get into the Inevitable City. After some trial and error we finally reached the city and set the record for City takes pre-Volkmar transfer. In our order branches prime we were able to field one and a half war bands and were instrumental in the organization of an entire realm. I would gladly take on any two War bands of any Destro you care to mention with a single Order Vendetta warband.
After dominating the server, and the exodus of destro from Azazel, coupled with the cancled accounts, Vendetta was anxiously awaiting server transfers. Although server transfers were not good to Vendetta and we were frankly as a whole appalled by the ease at which cities could be taken on Volkmar. We did not want this, we wanted the challenge we had at release to drive us to perform at our best lvl, and organize as best we can to overcome our oppositions. Regretfully, the mass transfering of Order to Volkmar was the last straw for 90% of Vendetta players.
We could sit back and watch as the city flipped day after day for Order. This is not what we are really about, we like to have a challenge and the easy life of our new server made many people simply not wish to play Warhammer anymore. On Volkmar there is no need for a guild like us who believes above all in strategy, organization and getting a challenge out of the game. If Arcadiea and I each were leading a Warband of Vendetta on Volkmar at prime time with another Warband or more of LaO there if we needed it, it would simply be unnecessary, there would be nothing for us to fight, no organized zone control on the part of Destro to fight down and no allied Destro forced communicating with each other to fight back. There is no point in having a chapter of Vendetta on a server or in a game if there is no point in our coordination, organization and our standard of excellence in our players.
It is with a heavy heart that I announce the closing of our Flagship Chapter of Vendetta but there comes a time when one must realize that the need for competition that made Vendetta great simply does not exist on this new server. I encourage the members of Vendetta who have left Warhammer to keep in touch and watch the website for upcoming game chapters. I would like to thank everyone who has played with or against us on either server. I will always remember this guild as being the greatest guild that I have ever had the privileged to be a part of. I know that we were universally respected by both our friends and our foes. I hope especially that the members of the Skull Throne Destruction chapter of Vendetta keep in mind their heritage and are proud of the Guild that they are a part of. It is with this post that I to pay tribute to the great guild that I am so very, very proud to be a part of.
Long Live Vendetta! Vendetta for Life!
