A King has Fallen

"Destruction of Karak Eight Peaks (EU) defeated Karl Franz over a 14-hour marathon run this weekend and successfully captured Altdorf."

It appears the chaos horde has overcome a group of our brethren from another server.

Mind the copious amounts of WoW fanboyism from the forums. It seems that the majority of complainers are 'ex-players' or 'never-players' and I don't see any current-players complaining. Much different from challenging WoW complaints.

BTW I thought console posts exhibited fanboy statements, but I don't think I ever saw anythin that even reaches some of the flamboyantly caustic statements in some of the comments posted. Both at the linked site and sites linked from it.

14 hour siege? My wife would kill me if I played that long. Gonna have to read that thread.

It looks like it was a series of guilds, up to six. The first set locked the zones then another set attacked the city and then a few actually got into the city to do a few hours of city PQs with big bad bosses, then they kited the king and voila. So a basic long attack on a killer mob where guilds / groups switch out as time goes on. Though it is the first time that it has apparently been done legit. So when are we going to do it? Lets schedule a few vacation days.. hah. j/k
