Paid To PVE: The SK + Nihilum Story You Didn't Know, New Tichondrius PVP Guild To Take BG9 Back To Its Glory?

You can read the full story with all the delicious details here, by Serbandsteel aka SaS.

Before the mega-merger between SK/Nihilum took place, SK already attempted other options with Last Resort and Inner Sanctum.  In the end the guilds in question chose to stay independent and SK had to go with Nihilum/Kungen.  They knew Kungen would instantly sell out once he got to know the identity of their patron.

 
And to be honest, can you blame him?  When you have the mysterious Prince of Dubai picking up the tabs, anything is possible.  The prince owns many decked-out characters from all over the world.  His collection includes Rulah (Nihilum druid), Zeuzonita(Method rogue) and a number of other characters that simply "vanished" from some of the best guilds on this planet.  He also covered Mackzter's rent of an apartment in Stockholm, Mackzter's and Mek's traveling expenses, among many other things.   He has been in the "scene" for years, he was a member of a number of top guilds with his brother and eventually ended up in SK-Gaming.

The first thing to be done in order to ensure that the merge succeeded was to "eliminate" all the players that were not wanted.  People who had dedicated the past three to four years (less in some cases) were ditched like garbage, despite the fact that they had helped the "leaders" and guilds to get where are today.  WoW is a team game. WoW is a game that emphasizes on a social community in all it's aspects, it's always a group of people doing something, may it be 5mans, 10mans or 25mans, so when a raiding achievement is made, it's the group of players that have achieved it, not a sovereign person. Why aren't the funds being EQUALLY distributed amongst these players when they all contribute as much? Leading has always taken more time and strength out of a person, so a bigger reward is suffice to say, acceptable, but when it`s the only reward and the rest are being treated like trash, what kind of leader are you then really?

"Apparently without being a long term friend or a kiss-ass (no i won`t go this low), you don`t even get a chance to raid unless ~20 other people will fail to show up. I can play like this in any scrub guild, but I'll at least feel that I'm a part of it". - Ex-SK/Nihilum raider

Ok, if you consider some people worthy and your MATES, why are they not being payed for the work they do? Why do people get backstabbed and exploited so that the three of you can milk more money from the sponsors? A question for the sponsors would be: Why are the sponsors interested in 3 people like this? Especially after having met them IRL, what can they possibly have seen in them?

"We will either be the AMAZING world first guild that everyone expects of us. Or we will be the laughing stock of World of Warcraft.  The guild that merged two best guilds in WoW and still failed to get all world firsts".  That was the post in guild forum What you actually meant was: Go-go guys! Bust your ***** working to show you are the best, so we can cash in. Sorry to disappoint you guys, but you lost on the three HARDEST things to execute. Sartharion 10-man with 3 drakes, Immortal and 5 minute Malygos kill. You lost because you were so "dedicated" that your MT had mega-ultra important things to attend to and bailed.

Under the original deal, all SK members who migrated should have gotten 250 euros each (cut down from 300 as originally promised), and Nihilum members who joined the merge should have gotten 100 euros each. Ok, that is not a lot of money, but if you take into consideration that only a few, SPECIFIC Nihilum members got the cash under the "excuse" from Kungen that only veterans would get compensated, while at the same time quite a number of REROLLERS who joined Nihilum during the last couple of months got the money as well. WHERE did the money from Nihilum members who got screwed go? If you calculate how many people got screwed over, the figure would reach at least a few thousand euros. Straight into Kungen's pocket?

New BG9 PVP Guild On Tichondrius

Apparently a new PVP guild is forming on Tichondrius of BG9, in a desperate attempt to resurrect the BG that once was the center of American PVP.  Is it a case of too little, too late as the majority of the talents have already left the BG?  I believe so, but a few top players have already transferred from their existing BGs/Guilds, Inactive-chan's CAPSLOCKCREW on board, you know you will at least get some entertainment.

But the most prominent player to join them will be Venruki.  He claims that he is doing it to play with some like-minded players, but we all know he already has Sodah and Happyminti, so it is evident that he is really doing it to be closer to Hafu-chan, who is also most likely going to be joining the guild.  Venruki spend his tournament winnings on a personal trainer and Atkins diet, something Jared "Notkyn" Fogle could never commit to.  Perhaps Venruki will be a new man by the time next tournament rolls around, and be the inspiration we know he can be?

"I cannot help but to guffaw at Venruki's attempts to enter Hafu's forbidden garden which is forbidden not for its sanctity, but the virulent evil lingering within. That putrid wench should hardly be chased, much less by someone of the likes of Venruki. I feel compelled to commend Glick for being able engaged in that which epitomizes repugnance, but after becoming privy to the extent of his own unsightliness, perhaps I should not." - Pookz

Meanwhile, Sodah and Happyminti are not happy about Venruki's decision.  Is this is the last time we will be seeing Got Games East as we know it?  A team that was one win away from its first ever championship just a few weeks ago?

"Venruki can do what he chooses, but Minti and I will be staying on Cho'gall. Best of luck to him." - Sodah
