| From:guildwars.com Special note: Each State of the Game presents the opinions and insights of one game observer. These observations are personal in nature and do not reflect the opinions of ArenaNet. While ArenaNet does review each State of the Game article to assure that it offers content that is respectful of all players, we intend to allow our reporters the freedom to inject some personal opinion into descriptions of the current atmosphere of competitive play in Guild Wars, and to express views based on their experience and observation. When I interviewed Rebel Rising [rawr] in January, they talked about how "Err Jesus loves [rawr]." During [rawr]'s multiple winning streaks in automated tournaments, opposing players would sometimes disconnect, while [rawr] was fortunate enough to experience minimal connection trouble. On the other end of the spectrum is Dark Ally [dR]. Regarded as one of the best guilds in the game to never have won it all, [dR] has suffered from disconnecting players when loading into GvG tournament matches. But in an ironic twist of fate, [dR] finally took home the top prize, beating out [rawr] in the finals of the Rawr Cup, a tournament sponsored partly by [rawr]! Also, this interview was conducted before the April tournament, so [dR] once again proved they have what it takes to come out on top. Shortly after their win in the Rawr Cup, members of Dark Alley sat down to reflect on where they were, how they got there, and where they were headed. These members included: Augie, Daemon, Doji, Ensign, Famous, Tommy, Windforce, and Langola. A final member, Divine, was not available. Read more here. |
