Weil es zum Thema passt.
Hier ein Kommentar aus dem englische Forum, in dem ein Vizu Spieler Sein Server und Seine Meinung zu seinem Server beschreibt (leider weiß ich nicht wie ich den Kommentar direkt verlinken kann, desshalb gebe ich Ihn im Klartext, komentarlos wieder. Es lohnt sich allerdings auch den Original Threth zu lesen, da der Spieler noch auf einige Fragen antwortet):
“I have read theese series of posts for a few weeks now. There is some points i would like to add an enlightment. I’ve played on many servers, in many guilds. French community is a special one. A very special one.
We got troll at any hour, both in vocal while fighting, as in game chat.
We got deorganized people wasting precious resources in insignificant actions, and not willing to coordinate themselves.
We got WvW guilds who doesn’t wish to coordinates themselves while playing on the same map.
We got a very little number of scouts and dolyak protecters.
We got in a week more drama than most of servers in a month.
We are so french based that it’s nearly impossible for a foreign guild to fit in Vizunah, the language obstacle is too strong, most of us don’t even understand English.
We got a very small number of old commanders able to fight using their brains and not their guts.
But we are here. That’s a question by itself. I’m not here to teach, i’m not here to debate. But why VS is the Best server of Europe is a question i asked to myself. With all our flaws, how did we manage. Some friends of mine, very advanced in tactics and strategies, gave me some answers.
Without any will of saying wich spirit is the best, the french culture is based on some simple elements:
*resilience: the faculty to overcome a defeat. A member of the french army taught me that. For many foreigners, we are a country of cowards fleeing battles, due to WW2 and vietnam. But watching our civilian/military history, you can see it was an exception. When you hurt france, we are hurt really bad. I mean, a lost of a tower is a shame for every commander, but in france, a commander get kitten for 24 hours about a defeat. Some of the VS beginners commanders seen their reputations being executed in game chat by players and never came back leading. So, when we are hurt, we get really sad. (really). But then we get angry and we strike quick and hard. And the whole fighting combat of our zerg reborn.
*socialization: as a latin server, we developped a commitment to public relationships. In both ways. We can get really self centred, egocentric, hypocrite, and insulting, and that’s why french community based guilds don’t fit well on international servers. But among french, we are very friendly to each other, as long as they don’t insult us, wich instantly cause the pop of an ancient demon and start a drama. This way of community may seems really annoying, but that’s the french spirit in socialization. we don’t stay cold to each others. There is always a public conversation running fast in the game chat.
*moral code: We got a long history of religion in our country for milleniums, and each one believes left a mark on our spirit. recently, protestantism, christendom, orthodoxy and newly social islamism. Every single of theese believes develop a community based on abnegation, help, solidarity, and the willing to be usefull (failed to find a very accurate translation for this last). It’s carved in us from birth, along with our demoniac ego.
Of course, you can find this values in every linving people on earth, i just point out the main ingredients.
On that base, who can enlight how pugs react, we got commanders. Based also on the same marks, we got four ourselves, and i think again we are not alone, but it s almost sacralized for us, a greed for knowledge. I rarely seen that in international servers. We got dozens of players spending their times making maths on the game, and sharing informations about their discoveries and theories, trying something new and oftenly suicidal. Commanders share their long time theory crafted tactics, teach pugs how to act, and why they give orders, and how the orders can help the server on a strategical level. So the next time, the reaction brain lag of the pugs (around 10 secs at first) can be reduced by more than 150%. With training, Pugs can anticipate commanders orders, and prevent him to burn his brain by willing to micro lead his zerg.

Finally, i would like to talk about the zerg. It’s a really strange term for me because it implies a negative statement. We don’t talk about zergs, we talk about an army. The bigger the army is, the better it is for the server, because we can have a better outcome of fire power, so the commander has a larger panel of tactical options while leading. A huge army requires more skill to lead than a well trained, well equiped warfare guild group, used to tactics and movements on the battlefield. But it is my personnal and non objective perspective on it. The main facts is that we have got many pugs willing to be usefull, willing to listen to the leader, so we can have a basic army to long term assault, and multiples guild groups who can react very fast to defend or attack our flaws or ennemy’s flaws. I ve seen some of you requiring a “fair fight”. I don’t understand that. Make a GvG if you want a fair fight, it s not that hard to organize. But we are talking here about wvw, in the T1 europe. The purpose is to bash the ennemy by any way allowed by the game and the common sense. It’s a virtual war. It’s not about fair fights. It’s about attacking ennemy flaws wihle defending ours. Why attacking when you can only win by huge loses? When you are localy outnumbered and in lower position than your ennemy? To show who got the bigger genital equipment? Some of us prefer to stand down, wait so you move, then strike in the back and make a perfect victory. It’s WvW (personal opinion).
I hope i could help you understand us, and thank you if you spent some time for reading me."
