World PvP
Many players would describe World PvP on Demon Soul on a large scale, dead. Demon Soul has had much large World PvP battles in its past.
Below is a list of World PvP events that have happened in the past. Not all are listed.
2006 PvP
The Azuregos Incident
The once Alliance guild Denial gathered 40 of its best lvl 60 raiders, in the first few months of Demon Soul's birth. Need I not remind that this was before the Burning Crusade and lvl 60 was the highest attainable lvl at the time. The raiders were sent to kill the World Raid Dragon, Azuregos which resides in Azshara. The Raiders encoutered the combined might of YMBCM and Chaotic which were attempting to do the same thing. A massive PvP event erupted and at the peak of the battle there were about 150-200 players in the battle. It is estimated to have lasted over four hours. During the battle 5 Liquid Reality members were present (Defunct Horde Guild) who happened to be cross-faction allies of Denial, LR refused to assault Denial during the battle which for months would hold a bitter taste in the mouths of the Horde guilds and others present that day.
Westfall Genocide
Unbeknownst to the majority of the Demon Soul population was that of the Genocide that occurred in Westfall throughout the Fall months of the year 2006. Thought to have been started by the Late Blood Guard Slen, but many historians debate that he only carried on the lasting tradition of "Westfall Ganking." It was during these last few months of the year 2006 that the many alliance leveled, almost completely oblivious to the unnecessary bloodshed that they would soon partake in at the outpost of Sentinel Hill. Weeks went on and there were many cries for help from the decimated Alliance, many of which went unanswered by all save the few brave souls that gave their life to save the hopeless.
It was during this time that most of the blame was centered on an Orc Rogue, Warrior, and many other incredibly dull individuals, they were of course trolled until they transferred off or quit the game.
It was Blood Guard Slen, who halfway through the month of November--just about 7 minutes till quarter till the 14th hour on the 13th day--had crowned himself King and Supreme Ruler of Westfall, a title that to this day has only been challenged by two brave individuals.
On December 13th, just about an hour past noon Corporal Biggiesmals and Elly, a level 29 Gnome warrior and a level 13 Gnome rogue, worked against all odds (size, power, might, and etc.) to defeat Blood Guard Slen on the hill just southerly of the Sentinel Hill inn. It was a fierce battle that lasted many minutes, some eye witnesses say that it lasted over an hour. Bloody and worn out, with the sun slowly descending through the plain Westfall sky, Biggiesmals and Elly saved Westfall from the terrible grip from it's cruel rule of Blood Guard Slen.
Many say that this was the reason for the Blood Guard Slen's immediate flee into exile for 8 months. It is not known as to where he escaped the terrible thoughts of blood and conquest, but some historians suspect that he escaped to the furthest boundaries of MMORPG life, to Real Life itself.
And while Elly, after a tragic event involving a beautiful female Night Elf, ended his life so terribly on his travel to the Great Sea, Biggiesmals has stayed as a low-level alliance, having vowed to protect the people of Westfall from future horde invaders.
Thus concludes one of Demon Soul's lesser known chapters of existence.
The Siege of Stormwind
About 2 or 3 months after the Christmas of 2006, a large group of Horde raiders attacked Stormwind. The Battle lasted late into the night with the crippled Alliance finally driving out the Horde. Since then no large raids on Stormwind have been attempted save one which was a failed raid, during Brewfest 2007.
Yet spirit unbroken, another Horde raid was attempted on Stormwind on the night of December 24th, Christmas Eve of 2007. The Horde raid, lead by Destraxtion and his guild Unusual, was able to penetrate all the way up to Stormwind Keep. The raid succeeded in downing Bolvar Fordragon, and then made it's way to the Deeprun Tram, where it then downed the Gnome King but was finally driven back before they could engage the Ironforge King. Proof of this is a recent topic on the Demon Soul forum, which shows several screen shots and a soon to be video.
So far, no successful Alliance raid has been able to penetrate Orgrimmar or Undercity. Documented source of unsuccessful raid done by Alliance on Undercity shows this.
2007 PvP
The Ironforge Spies
About every month or so, the Dwarven capital of Ironforge experience regular visits by The Horde. Usually these are by rogues who stealth their way into Ironforge and harass its denizens. The Horde scales buildings or get into the crack in The Commons and provokes the players. Sometimes the Horde are just being silly, but at other times the Horde uses these players as scouts in upcoming raids.
The Transportation Ambush
Just like in Ironforge, the Horde makes their way into the Deeprun Tram, or onto the boats coming and leaving Menethil Harbor and Darnassus. This disrupts travel, provoking many players to request mage portals to major cities and take the flight path. Which in turn causes time lose. But the recent addition of ship crews have lessen the hostile Horde ship camping.
The Fight for the Crossroads [1]
May 2007, The guilds of ArchAngels, Nameless, The Gladiators, The Elders, Violent Society, and Whispering Blades organized in Alliance City Theramore, Goblin City Ratchet, and Alliance Town Astranaar to prepare for an attack on the Horde Village known as Crossroads. Raid Leaders Overmage, Busuttilone, Lilpally, Farimir, and Tedericoe recruited as many Raiders as they could find. The plan was to attack from three sides, one group from each town. As the raiders furthest from Crossroads in Theramore began their charge early, they were ambushed and slaughtered by many of the creatures which dwell in Dustwallow Marsh. Farimir and a few others managed to survive the massacre and began to charge Crossroads on foot. The other two groups began their charge to Crossroads as well, the Ratchet group sending a small team of scouts to investigate possible threats in Crossroads before the attack, was ambushed by a small group of horde. The battle was long and valiant and soon the Alliance rose victorious continuing their march to Crossroads. With the other two groups nearly at Crossroads the Astranaar group has begun their journey as well. However by now the horde were aware of their presence. As the Astranaar group attempted to cross the border between Ashenvale and Barrens they were ambushed
Stolen Winter Veil Treats 2007 Showdown
On the first day of Feast of Winter Veil 2007, the quest You're a Mean One... off the chain quest Stolen Winter Veil Treatsbecame a battlegrounds in Ruins of Alterac. It is estimated that between 30-40 Horde and Alliance fought over key spawn points of the The Abominable Greench.The fighting had lasted for a few hours, Horde being dominate in the morning but then fanning out towards the afternoon. This fight had caught many off guard who were either passing through or questing in the area. This has been marked as one of the biggest holiday quest conflicts in Demon Soul history.
The Hillsbrad Crusade
On Janurary 12th, 2008 around 4pm, a raid group was formed in response to the ganking of several Horde players on Darrow Hill, Hillsbrad Foothills. Even though there were only 4 level 70 Alliance, 10 level 70s (Horde) grouped together and fought them off. This was followed by the immidiate ganking of Southshore, where every NPC ( Including the Flight Master, and the Elite in town hall ) was slaughtered, along with several lowbie alliance. Farimir and other members of The Gladiators along with some from Elite confronted the Horde Raiders, but were driven back. After about 20 minutes, the raid decided to make the Alliance pay even more dearly, and rode to Refuge Point and did the same; Annihilation of every NPC ( Including the Arathi Basin BM ) as well as the single Alliance player there. After this, the raid rode down to Menethil Harbor and procedded to do the same once more, and eventually took a boat to Auberdine. Once the raid got there, a few level 70 Alliance answered the pleas of the several Lowbie Alliance there, but they were no match for the 10 man raid.
Finally, after decemating Auberdine the raid took the boat to Darnassus, which, once there they killed several Elites as well as the bankers. About 20 minutes into it, a large group of Alliance appeared and finally forced the raid to retreat. Despite causing only small damage to Darnassus, the overall ganking of several Alliance towns combined with it makes this event worth remembering. Members of the raid included:
First group: Raid leader Vigkvagk, Second-in-Command Abaddon, Higashi, and Tathus Second Group: Deathtroll, Shadeoflight, Quasimodo, Onewhoknows, and Needlefeet
Note: Vigkvagk, Abaddon, Higashi, Tathus, and Shadeoflight are former members of Triad Of Shadows.
The New Year's Eve War [2]
In the final hours of 2007 PvP erupted into chaos to signal the end of another year in Azeroth. Attacks were occuring across the World and it should be considered the day that World PvP came alive once more. The most notable attacks came to make the day known as the New Year's Eve War. The war consited of three Battles. The First is known as The Goldshire Skimish, which was the result of a horde attack in Elwynn Forest. The Horde, lead by Ssephiroth from FØR THE HØRDE and Bloodcorpse from Knights Who Say NI, gathered in Northshire and then charged down into Goldshire where a large battle began. The battle lasted about 30 minutes with the Alliance emerging as the victors. It seemed as if the Horde were finished and were retreating and scattering into the lands to the south (Westfall, Duskwood, Stranglethorn Vale). A small band of Horde raiders retreated into Westfall and regrouped slowly. Most of the Alliance had either gone back to Stormwind, left to quest, or were chasing the horde to the south. Soon the Horde made their second attack known as The Battle of Sentinal Hill. With most of the Alliance gone Sentinal Hill was left at the Horde's mercy. As the Horde charged on leaving a battered Sentinal Hill behind they regrouped at the Westbrook Garrison located next to Forest's Edge. The Horde then charged back to Goldshire which they took without a struggle. Luckily for the Alliance a large number of players managed to form a last defense for Stormwind. The Third and Final Battle is known as The Alliance's Last Stand at the Gates of Stormwind. As the Alliance gathered together forming a small band of defenders they stood and fought the Horde raiders. The Battle took about 1 hour and in the end the Alliance stood victorious against the mighty Horde.
Many other Battles occured throughout the day such as the Alliance's retaliation attacks on on Undercity and Hammerfall, but none are as memorable as the 3 main battles of New Year's Eve, 2007.
Meanwhile during the battles, and in response to the drunken Booty Bay guards, the Horde raided and occupied Booty Bay which resulted in a small battle with Justinblade and Elite. Soon afterwards Elite's efforts failed and they were pushed back out of Booty Bay allowing Horde Reinforcements to pass towards Duskwood and Westfall. Booty Bay was occupied by the Horde for the remainder of the holiday with every Alliance effort to retake the port city, failed. One could say the Epic war continued throughout January and February, 2008, though others would disagree, saying that the following battles were separate wars. It is in great opinion though, that the assaults on Crossroads, Tarren Mill, and the Thunder Bluff Siege ended the war.
2008 PvP
Crossroads Mayhem
Farimir and The Gladiators re-entered the campaign of the New Year's Eve War and throughout January and February assaulted The Crossroads region.
Tarren Mill Assaulted
Though battles occur regularly at the Horde village, Tarren Mill, due to it's close location Alliance village, Southshore, This battle played a key role in the New Year's Eve War because it inspired the Horde to re-launch the Transportation Ambush, which in affect helped to give opportunities to guilds like Virulent Vanguard, to launch an assault on a key Horde base (See Below). The raid had been organized by an Alliance member, but soon after the battle began the raid leader did not recruit much needed reinforcements. Farimir whom had been assisting the fight, took over and brought in The Gladiators and Elite to re-assist the original raid group. The Alliance raiders occupied Tarren Mill for about four hours before a notion of peace was initiated. The Alliance returned home, allowing the Horde to retake their crippled village of Tarren Mill. Soon afterwards the Horde retaliated and launched the Transportation Ambush once more. Almost a month would pass with small random and unorganized battles occuring. A film was recently released by Farimir, containing footage of nearly the entire battle, minus about 3 hours and 50 minutes. It can be found, via this link: [3]
Thunder Bluff Under Siege
In February 2008, the Alliance guild,Virulent Vanguard, launched a guild raid after a brief guild meeting in Ironforge. The guild decided it would be enjoyable to raid a Horde capital target: Thunder Bluff. As they gathered every guild member, they set out to Thunder Bluff. On their way there, they attacked Horde towns such as Crossroads and the cow camp. Once inside Thunder Bluff they enganged in battle and killed all civilians close to Cairne Bloodhoof. Cairne was engaged in a fierce battle with Virulent Vanguard and was eventually defeated. This is documented in Youtube:Virulent Vanguard - ThunderBluff Raid - Demon Soul. As soon as Cairne was killed, the alliance guild attempted to raid Orgrimar from the Barrens entrance, but were decimated before they could even step foot in the town. This battle is also credited as the end of the Infamous New Year's Eve War. It was that day that Demon Soul PvP died down once more, the holiday hype that had gripped the entire server had returned to there normal levels.
The Horde Attacks On Alliance Cities
For many weeks following the Thunderbluff Raid the Horde Started attacking Alliance cities, primarily Ironforge and Stormwind. Most of these raids were lead by Moneysacks leader of the horde PVP guild <Hypnotic>. The raids almost un-challenged by the allaince downed both cities bosses without a problem. There were not just single incidents but rather multiple raids of these cities within a few weeks of each other.
Isle of Quel'Danas War
September 2008, In The Isle of Quel'Danas, an raid group of about 10 players led by the Draenei paladin, Dredar, stood off roughly 25 horde players. Although there were many deaths, the battle truly began with the Horde repeatedly killing the Alliance while doing their dailies. Even though there were many Shattered Sun Peace Keepers that attacked both the Horde and Alliance, the Alliance managed to defeat the Horde.
Wintergrasp
The Horde controlled Wintergrasp from the onset of Wrath of the Lich King at 12:00AM November 13. Few players ventured there and instead concentrated on leveling. The first Alliance capture of Wintergrasp occurred at 7:14 PM Server Time on November 17, 2008, when a group of non-80s, consisting of Skisquirrel, Anoura, Daikato, and Syryn, successfully captured the fortress against minimal horde resistance.
