War report.

Rumours have been flying around about a possibly Kitin invasion. So far sightings have been confirmed of large Kitin forces in various areas across the face of Atys. Possible Kitin holes have been reported. Homins! Do your duty! Keep the information coming in! We need to know where they are striking, how many and, more importantly, where we are going to strike back. Be vigilant.

In Fount and Grove of Umbria, Kitin popped up. Homins rallied and as one, we rode out and fought for our lands. After the Homins loyal to the Kami managed to get their pests down, they came to the aid of the Karavan aligned homins, who were still struggling in Fount.

At (00:57) a certain point in time, homins present were:

I take it it was just a short few hours invasion event?

What time did it take place in?

[danadita]

I got home about 3:30p CDST and it was already in progress. Lucky me I was able to plead "ill" and take off work early. It ended about 6p. I was lucky - not many NA players can say that. And Oshi had just taken off for a week's vacation. Maybe someday there will be enough NA players so we can have our shard back. The present situation, quite frankly, sucks.

Couldn't agree more. I first started this game just AFTER the first invasion. Now we get another one and it occurs while those of us with jobs are working? Either make it last longer or run it twice. I was really disappointed when I logged and found out it was all done already.

Or look at this way:
This was a small test to see if the server problems are sorted (and a few new commands are tested) before the *real* big problems will pop up?

Rumours were rife in Matis today after the fantastic victory over the Kitin hordes. Many were jubilant about the heroic actions of the forces involved in putting down the Kitin threat but always there was an undertone of fear. Murmurs of specualtion on why the kitins would send such a weak force after the massive incursion but a few years ago. That maybe the Kitin had been a scouting party for a larger force. That the new Kitin are testing our strength. We have stood up to what seemed like a great storm but homins fear this may yet be a mere prelude of things to come.
