There are some mistakes in it. First it is 13 and Prophecy not 13th prophecy. Among other things. What the history does not show is the favortism for AI. When 13 and Prophecy took the AI keep spot 3 gms showed up and asked what they were doing that is AI's keep spot. But there was no keep in the spot. Everyone on the server knew AI wanted the spot. Since 13 and Prophecy did not like AI they stole it.
What else happned was the gms even woke Henrik up and he came in game with the gms and threatened to roll back so AI could have the spot.
But the funniest part of Henrik showing up was The gms said "Henrik is coming in do not kill him" and as soon as he shwoed up some thief named pockets killed him as soon as he appeared.
What the history also does not show is why the war ended. Pretty much all of the guilds in the war quit the game. (Prophecy, TOP, 13, Oasis Alliance, CIR, etc etc.) Literally hundreds of people quit. That is why the war ended.
"Desertion was rampant among 13th Prophecy and the Promethean military in the closing days of the war" that statement is a PR spin... What really happened was people in the war got sick and tired of wrestling with broken mechanics or non exsistent mechanics to pvp, territory control, and siege mechanics.
lmao, yea i remember when Henrik showed up ingame and got killed dispite the GMs warning people not to. you would think they could afford to give "El presidente" some unlootable Ohgmium amor or something.....
as for the war....yea Moreplex is correct. so much fail.

I read this and laughed so hard, that my eyes blurred with tears.
The great northern war is probably one of the most epic wars in any MMO in history. So much politics, asset damage, player kills, and overall efffort went into this war.
Never trust a screenshot or a youtube video without a version stamp!
Ok back on topic. Any one else notice how we don't see pics in these wars with people wearing or looting ohgmium armor? I know some players use it on rare occasions but we never seem to get a screen shot of it besides players just posing in it.
AQ sure are good at PvP but the mechanics fucked over the alliance (FAILED, catapults going down to one shot from a bow, more FAILED, more FAILED) from the beginning, just like the GMs (Discord killing people at a siege, suddenly trials were allowed for holding boulders), and what split up the alliance at the end had nothing to do with the game itself, and thus.
As far as I'm concerned there is nothing that AQ could be proud of in this war.
The sieges that were successful all were with minimum to no resistance - fact.

Tis a Priceless bit of info on MO.

This is a pretty good sum up of the war.
