Sorry to hear it, Hadus.  Good luck to Lath and hopefully the PvP League will reform at a later date to much success and enjoyment by all.

Update 12/2/12

The PvP League West is disbanding, and thus no longer actively recruiting. The project has been postponed until a more ideal political climate emerges in Illyriad, and when I feel I have the proper experience needed to be an alliance leader.

Lath, however, will be maintaining the PvP League East, and is still recruiting. From what I understand, he intends for it to be more of a military-focused training alliance.

Alts are certainly welcome here! Especially for players who don't want to loose their troops in their main cities, as well as for players whose mains are tied to an important alliance role and can't afford to make even a guest visit. We already have one alt in PvP-East. The only restriction is that alts cannot join as an Apprentice if their main account does not also meet the apprentice requirements (a.k.a is larger than 5000 pop).

So yes! Send us your alts!

KillerPoodle, I am quite aware of the fact that Harmless does not siege its enemies to dust, nor do the majority of alliances at war. I am not suggesting that is the case for the current war or any war. But the fact is that you cannot control a war. If your enemy decides to storm your cities, they storm your cities.

This is ignoring the other reasons I'm against joining a war, but that's for another topic.

Perhaps I mispoke in my quote above, so I shall correct myself: I do not find the destruction of my buildings an enjoyable aspect of PvP at the current moment. Destroy my troops, my resources, and my wall, but leave me my buildings. I've created this alliance for those with a similar mindset towards PvP: alliance-based battles allowing for liberal use of all attack strategies EXCEPT Tier 2 siege.

If serious warfare and free-for-all PvP provided in Illy offered this, I would use it, but both of those require a different mindset to truly enjoy.

In an effort to increase recruitment and introduce new players to the fun of PvP, an "apprentice" role has been created for new players who want a supportive environment for learning the game and have a particular interest in PvP.

I appreciate the invitation, but I'd rather not be sieged out of the game. I can certainly see the appeal of the war, but another issue I have with war is that I would have to pick a "cause" and fight for it. Even entering as a freelancer entails a certain support of one side's actions or the other. War can also breach trust and harm friendships, as the case of Sunstorm has proven.

This alliance is designed for players looking for that strategic aspect of Illyriad, without the political drama that usually accompanies it (which, I admit, is also very entertaining), and without having to put their actual cities on the line -- with the exception of some possible competitions we have planned, but that's voluntary. Besides, most alliances here are founded not out of necessity but a common interest. Isn't that what I'm doing here?
