PRX: The Professionals:
Online gaming's most accomplished player vs player combat team.
Our hallmarks are professionalism, consistency of victory, experience, longevity and character. We are gaming's most vehement Anti-PKs.
We began in August 1999 in Ultima Online and have competed in every major MMORPG, on the respective hardcore PvP servers, since that time. For a more detailed account of our accomplishments, see our News Archive or read our History.
Over 70 members of our team have been with us over 4 years, and we have more than 140 members.
Warhammer Team Unofficial
We are standing down from official play in Warhammer. Thanks to all our friends and enemies for a great run and especially to our sisters and brothers in the Retribution alliance.
Today we earned the top spot in Realm Points on Badlands. A hearty "huzzah" to the team, our friends and allies who run with us and especially Jesicca who has done a superb job leading strike groups into the lakes and earning a lot of recognition from our enemies. We were #1 on Averheim before the server was shut down. We are #10 across all servers.
Over almost a 24 hour period, we took out 3 fortresses (2 during Prime Time Saturday) vs heavy Order resistance and marched on Altdorf. This was the second server where we took the capital, yet another first. Nice work to all involved. Firs time on Badlands a capital was assaulted. The next weekend, during prime time again, we went back to Altdorf. And again, next weekend, prime time, back to Altdorf. And then again and again.
We hit 100 million RPs tonight, one of the best guild totals in Warhammer today. Over the weekend, our alliance was able to flip to two fortresses at nearly the same time in a coordinated effort with non-alliance guilds.
I 100% applaud the theory behind Darkfall. The freedom of Ultima Online, Asheron's Call and Shadowbane brought a lot of enjoyment and I have fond memories from those endeavors.
However, after playing MMOs for almost 12 years now, I know that it takes a lot more than a good theory to make a good game (see Age of Conan). Unfortunately I predict that Darkfall will become a cheat ridden, bug infested ghost town in short order. Because of this, those PRX that want to play will play as members of the Covenant of Swords and PRX will remain in Warhammer.
I hope to be wrong about Darkfall and if I am, we will play the game.
Since moving to Badlands (#1 populated Core server) the RVR has been massive and a lot of fun. However, on 10 (patch after patch we tried) different occasions we battled our way to a Fortress only to have the server crash 8 times and have Order stop us on the 9th.
On our 10th attempt, we sacked the Reikwald and downed the lord. However, after employing the same strategy in Kadrin Valley, Order decided to defend by not defending (learned from their Averheim counterparts no doubt) and since Mythic continues to let their code do the fighting for Order, we were unable to head to Altdorf.
Frustratingly, while we continue to pour on the war to our enemies, Mythic denies us our victories.
The ORVR action has been very heavy and bloody lately on Averheim. We surpassed 52 million Realm Points; best on our server. The stalemate ended quickly however; we were forced to transfer and so we loaded the Higgins boats and shipped off to BADLANDS. Within hours of the transfer our alliance, Retribution, got to the Fortress.
Tonight, with Daylight's Savings in full effect, we sacked Stonewatch and setup to siege Reikwald. With many brave Order defending, this battle was going to be an epic culmination of 5+ hours of PvE (Order didn't fight us during the campaign, preferring to have their high levels like TKT in Bastion Stair). The server crashed and reset and bugged out all of the Empire vs Chaos zones.
As of 12 noon EST on Sunday, October 12, PRX and our alliance, Retribution (Cadre Quietus, Xen on Onslaught, Dusk Till Dawn, Isolated, Sinners and Misery) has controlled Altdorf. This is the first time it has happened (legit) across all servers.
