Hey guys,

Over the past week I have received far too many emails and PM's from players asking me if they can buy legendaries by donating and one player even telling me that they deserved "nice items" for donating. I really don't think our donations page can be clearer about what you receive for donating and I have always made it very clear that NI will never be pay to win. I really am getting tired of these messages so stop it please.

Love,

Hypernoma

Hey community!

Sorry about forum downtime today.
I had some problems with server but I found the reason and fixed it.
Sorry if this caused some problems.

Dear NordInvasion Community,

As part of his role Senni is taking care of a full review of the website stats. As many of you know some of the weapons has incorrect stats on the site and some also do not have any stats at all. If you could please report any discrepancies you fine here http://forum.nordinvasion.com/index.php?...55.15.html so that Senni can see to them. He is attempting to be as comprehensive as possible but it is likely that things will be missed. Please remember that you can also make a report if an item is missing stats.

He has already fixed the vast majority of errors and once he gets in front of the wave, life will become a good deal easier.

We appreciate the help of the community in our work.

Love,

The Devs

Brave and loyal Swadians! The Nord advance appears to have slowed down (something about me sending them lots of kegs of Fosters and now they're all really ill) so we see an opportunity to hold some festivities to raise our troops' morale. It is therefore with great delight that I declare we will holding our first House tournament!

Our genius Hande has provided an epic map for the event and the Swadian nobility are looking forward to seeing the houses battle to claim the title of Champions of the Realm! We will be heading over to the neutral Sarranid Sultanate as their cities have not been ravaged by those nasty Nords!

This event will require a lot of planning and scrict adherence to our guidelines and rules. Failure to do so will result in a short walk to the executioners block (a 2 month ban minimum). It is therefore in your interests to read the following information very carefully.

Ok, based on region, potential numbers and day preferred, I have Round 1! Apologies to VLKA but the only other Aussie house is slightly smaller than yours, but if you get to round 2 there may be an opportunity to field a larger team!

• First and foremost, the tournament will be on a deathmatch server. This means you can kill your teammates (be careful!) but also means that spectators etc can attack each other. Any player that kills another player that is not competing in the arena will be banned.
  
• You will listen to the developer team or be removed from the server.
  
• You will not attack another player until the presiding Lord declares the match to begin.
  
• All players not competing will head to the spectator areas provided.
  
• Players will NOT bring weapons onto the server. Only competitors with regulation equipment will be allowed.
  
• While some inter-house rivalry is encouraged, trolling/swearing/being a twat is not allowed. The same rules apply for language as on any other server.
  
• Teamspeak will be mandatory for this event. There will be many instructions given out over TS and imperative that all players listen and obey.
  

• Only House Leaders are allowed to post on the sign up thread.
  
• There will be an absolute maximum of 25 players per House. This is dictated by map features and size. Concrete numbers will be confirmed closer to the event.
  
• Your House will be told how many players it can bring to the event after signing up. It's not fair to have 25 v 8. Do not complain when we tell you how many players you can bring or you will be removed from the competition.
  
• The House leader will decide how to pick his team and will inform us when requested who his troop will comprise of.
  
• We will provide to the House leader the equipment required for his team based on the information he provides us.
  
• Use of non regulation gear will result in disqualification.
  
• Your team will be assigned either Red or Green equipment. Use it and only it or be disqualified.
  
• Combat will only commence when the presiding Lord declares the fight started.
  
• Players equipment will be checked by the arena gaolers before the fight. If players have the wrong equipment, the whole House will suffer my wrath(wraith).
  
• Competitors will remain beside their allocated elevator until the gaoler orders the team into position.
  
• Any competitor that misses the elevator will miss that round of the match.
  

• Tournament gear will be provided to the Houses
  
• Tournament Gear

  • [li]Tournament Heavy Body Armor(Red & Green) + Tournament Heavy Head Armor(Red & Green)
    
  • Tournament Light Body Armor(Red & Green) + Tournament Light Head Armor(Red & Green)
    
  • Tournament Boots & Tournament Gloves
    
  • Tournament 1 Handed Sword 
    
  • Tournament 2 Handed Sword
    
  • Tournament 1 Handed Axe
    
  • Tournament Shield (Red & Green)
    
  • Tournament Spear
    
  • Tournament Pike
    
  • Tournament Bow & Arrows
    
  • Tournament Crossbow & Bolts
    
  • Tournament Throwing Daggers & Javelins
    
  [/li]
  

• 9 champions in the arena, 1 from each house
  
• Tournament gear!
  
• No fighting until told to start
  
• Each champion should be with his back to the wall at the beginning, away from the other champions.
  
• It will be Free for all
  
• Lowest scoring Champion after 3 rounds is eliminated along with his house.
  

• 100,000 gold to the House bank
  
• 2 free levels of House Crafting
  
• A selection of normal and hard mode crafting items including some "rare" drops
  
• Mystery goodies...
