Twentyfifthnovember Becomes Ensidia

I wish them luck, but I honestly fail to see the point in clearing the current game in 3 days. 3.1 is quite a while away, so these people are just wasting their time until the next patch comes out.

Hope they make Yogg-Saron an unbeatable boss, like C'thun was once, just to frustrate them. That would be a laugh and a half. ^_^

As for a private investor, I don't really know what Ensidia can offer him. World first Frostmourne? World first Arthas defeat/kill? I wouldn't sink money into something that will grant me jack-**** IRL, but you know what they say about the rich; they have more money than they know what to do with. :)

Just my 2 pence.

Was "the support and endorsement of a private entity based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates" from Michael Jackson?

Must be a guild of all 13 yr olds! hehehe ;)

Just kidding...best of luck, I like when folks take guilds and gaming to the next level (preferably roleplaying for me, but cool none the less).

Ensidia Motto: All the gear, but no idea.

I'll sit here and trundle on whilst watching for the Easter Eggs that Blizz is famous for (found a guy called Hugh Glass yesterday in Grizzly Hills!).

Seriously, who cares? Why is this "news?" Some guys with no life beat WOTLK 26 minutes after release. Good for them. Time to move on lol

I didn't see where they said they were "a competitive guild" but if so, yeah.. what exactly are they competitive against? NPCs? lol that's silly.

I think it's also pretty silly to burn through content like that just to say "Woot I'm the first! yay me!" ok, uhh now what? Twiddle your thumbs till the next expansion (two+ years later)? Lame IMHO. =P

But then again, that's just me. To each their own I guess.

I just find it funny that there are so many people being defensive about being called a sell out. The loosely used term of "competative gaming" is also quite funny. So I will chime in with my two cents here.

If you are being sponsored good for you! You have convinced someone that you are some sort of iconic product that is well respected and followed in the realm of gamers. However, that being said, you have marketed yourself as a product. Therefore you are selling yourself as a product. Hence, you can be called a sell out. If you are proud of being sponsored then where the badge of sell out with pride.

As for being competitive. Lets face it. Blizzard does not create this game to be competitive. They do it to make it challenging. Challenging to the 95% of it's market base; the casual gamer. Now I do strongly feel that Blizzard should come up with competitive servers. Something with content that you cannot find on the other servers. These servers should also have a difficulty that compliments the ubers that occupy it. And the cost to play on those uber servers should also reflect the "competitive" nature of it all. But until this happens you really should not call yourselves a competitive gaming guild.

Fail of the Lich King huh? I seriously hope Blizzard creates bosses that keeps you occupied for a serious amount of months,while keeping the bosses themselves unnerfed - make them so ridiculosly hard that even "Ensidia" has to slow down. Ultimately,resulting in a /gdisband perhaps :)

Enuff with the hostility,this has just been a bad move from Nihilums side , imho- the thing about being bought doesnt really bother me,i bet theres alot of people getting paid (in one way or another) for playing this game - the disturbing part is their cockiness.

Come to think about it,the getting paid part is sort of disturbing after all,as pretty much ALL publicity = money i reckon.

Sorry for the wall of text crit,I´ll be leaving now :)

WoW is a big part of my life right now,i log in and sit for 5-6 hours a day - i also spend some time reading up on things,and visiting sites such as this one - naturally,ive been following the progress of Nihilum,since theyre "the best guild in the world" (lol)

...now this Ensidia crap,well,tbh, i dont really give a flying **** about it(well i care enough to make a post about it) - all in all, its going downwards,congratulations Ensidia, You just won the interwebz.

Im a hordie,always has been,so in some nerdy way its been great to have a hordeteam as world´s premier guild - now, im cheering for Method (if theyre still about).

"OMFG most of you people have no lives..you sit at your pc and post about some guild getting sponsered like its any of your business what they do."

*laughs* Ironically, you're the one complaining about us. If you have time to try and chew us out, I think you have time to go get a life of your own.

smashedbutholes — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 22:14:53 GMT

OMFG most of you people have no lives..you sit at your pc and post about some guild getting sponsered like its any of your business what they do. as far as the funding goes..who cares if someone wants to pay them to play...My uncle pays my account.. does that mean I have a sponsor? WTF who cares go get laid or atleast get a life stop whining about other ppl online.And I know that posting this brings me down to your level but I just had to say something. Stop posting about things that dont effect you and go outside and do something. Yes I know my spelling is poor and my grammar is probably worse. But who really cares?

Okay... Gaming.., Lets look at that word.... Gaming has always been competetive, but it hasnt always been bloodthirsty geeks going to the end of their chain to get a few bucks. I mean lets face it, we pay for the game, the expansions,the books,the internet and especially for munchies and various other things like soda and such. Being still relatively new to the game <only been playing for 7 months>, I have a Dwarf Paladin that has followed the Alliance with no problems whatsoever, I enjoyed watching the movies,reading the quests story lines, in all, I have enjoyed this game as much as I have Diablo and even ShadowWars back in the dice age. This is just a game first and foremost and should be enjoyed. People paying for the "Sponsorship" of a guild, is not even finacally possible is it?? I mean I know I am one that "Reports Spam" to Gold traders, So like I said, cheating in this game is like winning the Special Olympics. I mean yeah, you have a medal, but you had to beat a lot of handicapped kids to get there with your two good feet,strong back and arms. LOL! Lets just say this, I am glad it isn't on my server. I'd rather deal with the AH Ninja's than run an intance with anyone or any guild with that kind of mannerisms.

Just my point of view on the game, but then, heh, Who am I?

istrain: You get your WoW news every single day. Amazingly this isn't a one article website, so we have a wide variety of news. :)

istrain — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 17:17:11 GMT

LOL @ sponsorship from Dubai.

Some kid who is in the guild probably lives there and paid for their webhost.

Once again, who cares. Bring us real WoW news, stuff that directly affects us and how we play the game.
