Hey everyone, Rascon here! I’ll be taking over the blog duties for the faction due to Doomguard’s resignation as faction blogger. It’s going to be a tough position to fill but hopefully everyone enjoys my articles! I’ll try to make this as fun and interesting as possible! I’ll be posting updates once a month, unless of course something urgent needs to be posted.

Onto the News!

As you can all see nothing has been posted in ages and this update is long overdue! Yet with everything which has happened recently one wonders “where to begin?” There have been many changes occuring including numerous successes and some disappointment, however, these events will no doubt form an integral part of Vradical’s proud history.

Leadership Changes

Our previous Leader That, would part ways with us to join Halcyon passing leadership onto senior member Noriaga. However, this would be short lived as Noriaga would soon pass leadership onto another keen and capable vrad. Stepping up to the challenge Familier seized leadership and sought to improve both the raiding and colony wars aspect of the faction. Familier continues to stand as the current leader of Vradical, and with his strong lineup he leads the faction with courage through the dark times which lie ahead.

Quick Q&A With Our New Faction Leader

Familier is known by many nicknames in the faction (most of which probably aren’t suitable to be posted), yet who is Familier? What are his likes/dislikes? Here’s a quick Q&A to get to know the real Familier.

Q. What is the best part about being faction leader?
A. The best part of being the faction leader is that I can be a good example to the other members of the faction.

Q. What is your fondest memory whilst being in Vradical?
A. R+18 late night discussions with other faction members, LOL.

Q. What can we expect in the not too distant future for Vradical?
A. We’re looking for ways to ensure Vradical can keep up with the competition. Our goal is to be more active in raids for now and the future. The closing of recruitment has also been undertaken to improve the faction members bonds with one another.

Q. If you could be any animal, what would you be? Why?
A. One only? Well I’d be a lion so I can RAWR at Vrad noobs who don’t follow instructions.

Now wasn’t that insightful? Haha I’d post more but some of those answers weren’t exactly PG rated. So hopefully this shines a bit more light on the ever mysterious faction leader whom we like to call Fam. Stay tuned for more Q&A’s!

Raiding News

With the recent successful raids Vradical set it’s sights on more challenging raids with more rewarding results. After initial struggles with the Fire Gate, the faction managed to organize itself and effectively defeat Lava Leaf with no problems. Special mention should be made to certain members who have made this possible, to our tankers and dpsers, you know who you are. With this, the faction continued to strive to acquire and equip their members with better weapons and armor turning their focus to raids such as Lightning Gate, Garim and Griffon. Setting our sights even further, the faction is looking forward to tackling even harder raids such as Novia and the downing of the Great Hill Giant.

All Vradical members should also check the forum for details on our new raid point systems. This new system will work in parallel with our current one, and will take effect from September 10.

Colony Wars

The disbanding of our long term allies Wrath of God, saw the strengthening of ties with Halcyon. Fighting hard the two factions split the maps of Cervantes and exercised total control. However, this victory was short lived as dark times would soon ensue. The emergence of a new alliance challenged the Vradical and Halcyon’s hold on Cervantes and over two weeks the colonies would be split amongst the numerous factions. Although extremely outnumbered the faction along with Halcyon have continued to fight hard ensuring their hold on existing colonies as well as reclaiming previously lost ones.

Recruitment

The faction appreciates the continued interest by players to join the faction. However, effective immediately Vradical is no longer accepting new members. This is to ensure a more community feel within the faction and strengthen the bonds of current members.

One can only wonder what lies ahead for the faction. However, one thing is certain, with our pride and strength we will keep striving towards our goals. With the help of our members the Vradical family will continue to soar to new heights.
