Today we begin to recognize and celebrate the leaders who make W2 a reality for all of us!
Tora hosts tournaments and puts forth of his own hard-earned blood, sweat, and tears into the W2 universe. Tournaments are something fun that draws a crowd, both players and fans to become the audience watching the players play, which all serves to keep this community more lively and active and interesting. Tora also deals with disciplinary issues on the server, which is never an easy thing to deal with, when you have to deal with trolls, idiots, and trashtalkers on a regular basis. It must be aggravating at times. We all owe a debt of gratitude to those who work for us, who enforce policies that make the server a better place to be, and who are active in the community and promoting the game. We may not agree on a lot of things, but I do still hold in esteem the leadership position and the human that fills it, even if he hates my guts.
Thanks, Tora.
XuRnT is the heart and face and voice of the server. XuRnT probably does more for the community than anyone else that I know about. He also hosts tournaments, and sees fantastic turnouts. This one coming up this weekend is sure to be a blast. My retirement from W2 has been met with resistance, as all my friends keep messaging me to come play, and then there are these exciting tournaments that just can't be missed! This secret smurf masquerade tournament is super-exciting and coming up soon on SUNDAY OCT. 29, 2017 3 PM!! Hope you call can join in! XuRnT also hosts a facebook page and a Youtube channel promoting the game and the server. He regularly updates them with news and games and announcements. He provides professional quality commentary on games played, bringing the action to life for all the fans. He has over 1000 subscribers, I believe. XuRnT keeps on top of player news and sightings, announcing old gamers who pop in now and then for a visit. XuRnT hosts beginner-friendly games on assorted maps, bringing both new blood and new game variety into the player pool, helping us all. He is one of the people who understands that without new players, this game will die. The hardcores who love the game are "shooting themselves in the foot" by being anal to all newcomers, because they are helping to kill the game they would like to keep playing...not very prudent!
Without XuRnT, this game would probably be dead. We owe the existence of our favorite game in large part to XuRnT, so thank you XuRnT!!
