I had tried to write this a long time ago, since the time I fear for the fall of Invictus. But then again, I holded back because I strongly believe, there is always hope and there is always people that we love in the faction, which will set Invictus back to it track again.
Perhaps I was wrong, and because I was wrong, I wrote this, at least everything writen here is part of my personal opinion throughout my stay in Invictus.
Invictus was establish based on 2 different cultures of peoples, from the international players who are claim to be more matured and organized, to the bunch of Malaysian who claim to be more hardcore and treat everyone like their brother and sister where you can always insult and bash each others like everyone would had no feelings at all. Well that the good part being Malaysian, you cb or knn me today and we will totally forget about it the next day, is part of our cultures, and to top up confusion among the international players or those who think they are the matured types of players, Malaysian are so used to talk in their mother language, with the mah and nia or jor and le in every ending sentences.
We had been in this way since the birth of Invictus, we tolerate, we adjusted ourselves, we try very best to fit in. We are just human who want to enjoy a free game, that all. We are not working for some sort of organization, finding the income which we need for the living for god sake. Invictus didn’t pay anyone any salary to do whatever the faction required or encourage us to do. We are here for the sake of enjoyment and fun for playing the game. Why is everyone getting so sensitive about how thing is being run or progress in the faction. Do you care for the faction? Or do you care for your fun? What do you really care in real fact?
Some claim to be the high level had left us, they are bored of Invictus. Some said they do not fancy Lord Style on how he handle thing. But do you guys ever voice out in a correct manner? Lord might had shortage in his capabilities, and that is why he need people to assist, but those high level just choose to move else where to seek for their enjoyment. They claim they had given so many chances for change through Lord ruling, but none of them really try to do something about it, some just wait for miracle, so just sinisterly wait for invictus to fall, and yell “See what I told you?”. So what are you trying to proof? To see how Lord had bring invictus down? To see how the other had made a big mistake for supporting invictus and Lord?
Continuously, high level members also claim that they do not like faction with no activities. They group together and went on their own way, like no people knows about it. They blame it all on the low level, because you are so slow leveling, most of the raid and CW was not up to the target. Guys, we got a family and real life to attend to. You may spend your trillion hours in GE, but most of the other players precious their real time compares to their virtual time. And now you start blaming because of the low level, lot of stuff can’t be done? How often do you guys help out the lower level? You do raid among your high level peers, you do scroll mission among you own high level buddy. And when you got the items you don’t need, ever cross your mind to keep it for that low level? That the high level asian players style, they always look at only themselves or those who they think, had help them to progress throughout their gameplay. Don’t get me wrong, but I don’t like free looter too, but in every 10 free-looter, there is at least a few which we can help, just for the sake of making friends and build up the relationship via the faction. So what if you are uber ownage? So what if you are uber strong and can pawn 10 families at a time? All you got is just yourselves and your gears, and I can assure your path to be so predictable and linear, being in the strong faction, and become stronger and stronger for the most of the time till the game end up with no more features, and you start getting bored, looking back that all my GE time had been spent into grinding and grinding, ignoring the once I had called noobs cause of their incompetence to catch up to my level. Is that what we all want? To be called the strongest players in the server and be remembered for 1 weeks or 2 weeks? Or be part of a faction who people always look down but finally emerge as one of the top and be remembered for a very long time.
Not to forget, the high level keep comparing, they compare and compare with the big faction. They claim they are good, they are strong, they are more organize, they are perfect in everywhere. This is all about playing style, they had started good, and so they progress better. Ever see how they work? No doubt they are good, we got to admit, but then we are trying to work as good as they are. We had to cater for which types of members they got and what types of members we had in our faction. They are majority hardcore, who cater for every hour of gameplay. Some of them are experience people who know how to guide those who are new to the game; did our high level ever do that? You can easily see it from the forum, how many high level really give any constructive ideas or proposal to the faction, or guides and tips on all aspect of the game they been through? Rarely, and now they bash the faction of not good enough, leave and seek more power from the better faction. Don’t tell me poop about you supporting the queen and like the royalist more than the republican. Is just a side to choose which is made up by GE.
We might not be the best faction so far, we might not had the best player (high level if you seek it this way), not yet as organize as those giant faction which most members claim. But we do have the spirit. I know lot had lost faith, lost the direction to continue with the faction. I understand if you are not feeling happy with it, but keep forcing yourself to stay, hoping miracle will happen, hoping someone, or somebody will do something about improving the faction. Well guess what, the person might be you. We are not asking you to give up all your precious unused items to the lower level members, not intending to ask any commitment here, just that to make thing happen, every little of everyone effort count. There will be no level 100 players or level 70 players in the faction, everyone are equal and will be treated equally.
Everyone person in the faction always requesting for something, and looking forward for the result. Do you know how much the organizer had went through just to book the ticket for all the favor out there. You wanted raid, we try bring you raid, when you cant raid, you start blaming inactive, low levels. But looking back, did you ever thank those who come for the raid even though it was a failure. Just like war, when thing not according to plan, blaming is all we got. What we need is a bunch of great comrades, you spent your remain time of your life in the game, besides of those you attended in your real life, so why not make good use of the time, to socialize and to make friends? If you are in a faction, why not at least try your very best to made it a successful faction, instead of waiting what a faction can bring to you?
Lord will do his best to do what its need to achieve the goals. And for those who still wonders what the goals is? Here’s the goal, we strike for being a casual faction while still enjoying the endgame features. We are definitely CW oriented faction, no matter how bad we did, no matter how slow we might be, we will still going to enjoy every moment of every week CW. We are going to raid, in a correct manner, no monopolizing of end boss. If no faction willing to share, we shall use words and not force to show our action. We strike for being the most enjoyable faction, with members we treat as buddy, as leader we treat as friends. We aim to reach a level that we will be remember forever as Invictus for the nation of Carracci, no matter is going to be now or in future. We will assist the helpless members, and always take every one of them or every member of Invictus as the most valuable asset of all time. Without you guys, there will be no Invictus anymore, and without you guys, what fun of playing GE anymore.

Haha, what the heck is this man?
Well guess what, I had writen this 2 month ago, when Invictus is in a crisis of being at the edge of the cliff, almost get disband, with hatred among members and millions of unhappy issues.
But hell, I didnt post it out, cause I told myself, if i post this, it would be the time I had left Invictus and GE for good, but hey I was glad I didnt posted it out 2 months ago.
I was so glad of who we are now, so much of our achievement! Look at our members, our friends and buddies among the faction. If comparing on how we deal with CW and raid as last time, I am so proud to said that we had been doing freaking good. Kudos to all members now who had contribute and made how Invictus looks today!
Well is part of Invictus history... and I hope Invictus will forever be invictus and grow as much as they can to be the best faction in Carracci, at least the most fun faction to join in!
