My First City Siege on Badlands

About an hour before we were going to set up our guilds and alliance, those of us on found ourselves suddenly in a sieged Altdorf. Here's what I noticed:

1) No regional chat to coordinate warbands and I honestly wasn't giving many wb commands myself because my crew was straggling in if they desired though we opened it up to allow others in and followed the main force.

2) The crew I was with pushed up the middle well enough the destro only got down into the city to BW once, but most of the fight pinned them to the middle.

3) No one tried to take out Adell even if I bet we could have done it though 500 points came fast with the crew we had, so even if I was clueless to what commands were even being given by the warband I was following, things fell into line for easy victory.

4) I got to hit Thelen at least once and I'm thinking it is the Thelen from PT, but I got knocked back and didn't wind up near him again so not sure. Even so, it was cool seeing at least one Destro name I recognized.

Looking forward to our first raid night. Since it is T3 I have two options - my usual BW Arthine who many of you know from blasting her through T2 with the raids or my dustier, less known WH Rhondeela.

Yeah, that was an interesting welcome to the server. I had been running some scenarios and was thinking "Oh Lord, what have I gotten myself into" based on the fighting skills I was seeing from my Order compatriots as well as the general chat. However, I ended up in a warband with led by Duzr of the Blackhearts Brigade during the siege and it was pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised that there was no public abuse of the PUG warband by him and the worst thing he said was "No, they are behind you you sillies" (direct quote there). Maybe he was having a good day and is actually a bastard most of the time, but made me feel better hope that I might find intelligent life out there in the Badlands. :)
