Keyclone - Has anyone heard from him?

[Siaea]

strangely enough, escaping into wow has helped. i found an in-game war and sort of made it my own. wrestling a realm back from utter devastation at the hands of its enemy to standing on its own feet has been rewarding

it took months, but i think it paid off, both in-game and personally

Ok, now you got me curious, and I'm sure I'm not the only one...whad'ya do?

well, i hadn't intended on getting involved... but that's how these kind of things start, isn't it

i had a call from someone asking how to set up keyclone and how to box. i wasn't doing anything at the time so i offered to create some characters on his realm and walk him through the basics. i was also eager to test out some wow updates i had heard about, so i took the opportunity to test it out. after helping him get setup, he explained the realm a bit.

what i found was a realm that was doing very poorly in pvp and had lost all hope of winning end-game pvp (WG). this attitude permeated everything else in the faction. it was not uncommon to hear "what's the point? we'll just lose anyhow."

that loss of hope really got to me... and so i decided i was going to fight for them. i engaged in war.

in about 3 months i got to 80, geared up... and started pushing. before august, they would win WG about 5% of the time. very bad. when the soft cap was released (the 4.0 patch), we were about 25%. by the time the hard cap was enforced, we were getting WG about 60+% of the time. that lasted about 2 weeks... then the enemy just stopped showing up. i took that as a sign of restoring the pride of the faction and winning the war.

along the way, it has helped stir up the fighting spirit i had lost when the wind was knocked out. that happens when you think there is no hope and take a devastating shot. picking yourself up and getting back in, with no guarantees of winning, just a fighting chance... is what i needed personally... and the realm needed to remember
