Hi, my name is jon.
My ign is Genocide.
I've played this server since day one.
Before the server even came out or was announced people knew that hera was going to come out because on the profile edit thing on SRO.net you could choose hera.
Pawnage/Sashi/Ice planned to make this guild called vengeance. Alot of people identified that they wanted another new legit server like venus and were tired of their botted sun servers. Some people joined because at the time venus was one of the most crowded servers.. or they just wanted to start out with everyone so they could be the highest and leaders, which Venus already had.
Sooo many people joined that Leaders thought they would make 2 guilds.. Vengeance and Revenge, Revenge being an overflow guild.
This started some contriversy about blah we'll just be over wahh wahh. But, the plan was to merge with vengeance when they were level 5.
Sooo, Months go on.. and still no hera.. LOTS of people gave up waiting or went to venus. We lost alot of our faithful legits.
Still though many members stayed or.. new people just finding out about hera came.
So still having a lot of members, I created epic guild. I figured to have a union you need more than 1 guild.. and 1 guild only has 10 union chats so that wouldn't be much fun. So i created epic.. a few members came over but, the majority I recruited in game. Big controversy that i was making it to steal members and such.. when i really just wanted an UNION but oh wellz.
Taxi2hell and Exokill kinda tarnished our image. Taxi2hell for being a botter and for crying when he couldn't get into a party on venus?.. and Exokill for being a noob and trying to recruit people off of avalon on Venus.
Deathstrike(taxi2hell) got banned.
Exokill seemed active and cool so we just kinda told him to be nice.
SERVER FINALLY CAME. I was taking a shower i think and people were like lvl 5 when i got on.. i was like wtffff

First day nothing really. Sum dumb turk(not being racist) got 1st Cerby. Alot of 0x33 people had came over and were bottin it up.. they didn't like our presence or globals about legit server or anything. blehh
First guild up... forgot which one.. but it was a BOT one.
Finally got Vengeance up.. then epic up the next day.
No drama.. us all playing and everything.. We get to ongs.. meet some people (Didino and Expel1k =p)(have ss) was cool..
We (our superactives) Being Mikey/Genocide/Exokill/Calico/IceCrash/ Others...
We're like 10 or 15 levels ahead of most. people started crying because they couldn't get into our party.. and we were too intent on leveling up for fortress war to really pay attention...
We expected people to be able to make their own parties and not rely on us.. even though we were the leaders.. we i guess expected everyone to be a leader in themself.
So people left because they couldn't get good parties.. or wern't being let into our party because A. it was full B. they sucked.(not levelwise but at their character)
It turns out Epic seems to be starting to be more and more powerfull. We recruited in game Super active legits so that everyone was mostly high level in Vengeance... We weren't trying to steal their thunder.. just trying to be really strong... For everyones sake.
Turns out most of the REALLY active people went into epic.. and i was tired of being the main leader but not the union leader because i kept getting asked for this and that and yet couldn't do anything but say "you'll just have to wait for the vengeance GM to get on" which sometimes took a day or so.
So epic left after asking most people if it was ok. I told Zeeky of spiral we were going to make our own union because we were more powerfull thus deserved the leadership.. this was really only half of the deal.. but i didn't feel like explaining how i was the most active person on the server ( well maybe Mikey but,, close enough :p ) and that it just seemed right that i could lead everyone nice and always be there incase anyone needed me.
So we left.. invited everyone back and they were all cool with it.. Spiral never really said anything about it as far as i remember.
Grindfest continues. Get to date of first fortress war and we find out. THERE IS NO FW ON HERA!
Some people are like thats gay and stop playing. Others wait and just keep on grinding for when FW does come.
More people complain that the high levels are all self centered and just want to level and don't help the noobs. Which is somewhat true because, We didn't get any help from high levels whenever we were training. We just don't get why they NEED help and what their deal is.. we just want everyone to play and be happy.. if we get time off our ticket or get bored and want to do a trade run... HELLZ yeah we're up for it.. but most people were against the powerleveling of the nubs.
We Win the first guildwar on Hera Epic VS Unforgiven (bots and some foreign euros)
Global fest of pwnage. lol
Spiral gets level 5 guild while epic is level 4. they say they want leadership and a union logo. We pretty much say... err? wait on us to get level 5 and we'll happily put one up.
They bring up how i left vengeance because epic was more powerful than them. They say lets have a guild war to see who is more powerful.
EVERYONE in epic and vengeance now is going ROFL WHAT THE ****? and tells Spiral what douches they are.
[not sure where this goes i forgot when]
Ascension joins union. Meet Ven and falcon. Cool people yayay
PPC joins union Legendary dark knight vapore comes to HERA!! woot. a reallly good guy people have seen his videos.. yeah yeah. Topdog AMZING wizard with cool video's comes too. Everyone likes these guys. And they got a great reputation on Greece.
[/notsurewhere this goes]
Spiral leaves the union.
After some shitt and people having 2 and 3 hours talk with spiral they come back to the union.
Spiral says they have nothing to apologize for and that they were just testing the union to make sure we liked them because they thought they were outcasts in the union.
Things kinda wierd because spiral was just douchebags and left the union so everyons all like speculating about them and stuff...
Grind fest continues.
I gave leadership to mikey and kinda convince people that i'm not coming back because things were going bad with my girlfriend because i didn't talk to her the whole week or two when hera first came out..
End up fixing shit and realizing without sro my day was totally boring. lol. Come back.. never get leadership back, mikey said for fear that i might just pack up and leave again.
Guildwar with Blackout.. complete fail. Too many people trying to do their own thing and not paying attention to guild chat / being douchefucks.
Topdog gets leadership union leader after we lost a Guildwar with Blackout because he knew alot about euro pvp and had the video's / experience to prove it, and was going to help us out with a course or something on Euro pvp)
I was confused why he needed union leader to help us?.. I asked for leadership back from him.. but from what he says it's what could i do better.. which was nothing really concrete i could say besides the fact that i knew everyone better and everyone knew/liked/respected me.
Everyones getting really tired of the drama from spiral and from people being noobs.
Vengeance crumbles from leadership being passed around 1nce a day or so..
Some members go to spiral and some go to epic.. the two strong guilds.
Most of us are cool with spiral now that some of our friends are in there it doesn't seem so bad.. so everyones cool for a while.
FORTRESS war is supposed to finalllly come out.. we get like a week or so of notice. And people start grinding their asses off..
FAIL. no fortress war.
Topdog states how if this keeps up he's probably just going back to his mage on Greece which he misses so much.
I ask for union leadership back once again because i figure.. this isn't real commitment. And i kept doing leadership jobs and talking to all the guild leaders and members just.. didn't have powers and it was annoying.
I don't get it back.
Finally again.
Fortress war time.. this time it's actually coming out. Everyones leveling and cool.
or so it seems.
Ven asks to get into Spirals general's party ( the only one at the time )
IFORGETWHAT HAPPENDED!! rofl.
Zeeky can say <insert what zeeky says about this>
and for whatever reason ven doesn't get into the party and Kyliss does.
VEN = MAD. starts hardcore bitching out zeeky in union chat for everyone to see how he banned Ven for kyliss and that because kyliss is a guildmate of zeeky that Spiral only cares about themselves and saying that they think Spiral>Union>Bots
Some of us are telling ven to get the shit out of Union chat and how he needs to pm zeeky if he's got a problem. Doesn't really happen for a while.
Spiral leaves the union
Zeeky/ven private chat about it all.
Ven tells us in union chat how Zeeky is a little boy and he's just dumb and self centered and we should never even try to reason with him because he'll just be dumb.
I talk to zeeky. he tells me his side. which makes it seem like Ven blew up over nothing and how it was indeed Ven that was being an asshole ( which is hard to believe because ven is one of the most caring guys i've met in my SRO experience )
**Funny side note. Ven calls Zeeky a Nazi Tyrant ** Lulz
Finally people demand appologies but... they never really happen as both sides think they are in the right. Soooo whatever i guess shit cools down and Finally we get zeeky to say he'll join once or twice.. But the union leader Topdog ISN;T on because he's tired of the drama and took a one or two dayish break.
Zeeky ends up talking about it with his guild.. and they never join. Due to reasons which can be found in his thread.
We loose FW.
Thus is the state of the server noww ~~
