Warrior Nation™
The Nation Developing Skills Most of us know of events long past, and the less-than-likable actions and failings of development in the past. This was indeed a terrible time for Development, and Warrior Nation™ as a whole. Thankfully, we had some good leaders take the stage and lead development into the green once more. WNx the will tactic was a great leader of Development. His tireless efforts and good choices for leadership helped bring Development back from the brink. One choice in particular stands out above the rest: his choice for WNxDHare3 as Colonel. As soon as WNxDHare3 hit the scene as a Colonel in Development, he began taking the initiative in transforming Development into a more viable Department than it had been in quite awhile. Through his internal organization and his training of Development Engineers and game leaders, he ensured the prospering of Development, and the increases veracity of the clan by pushing out well-developed sections. As such, when WNx the will tactic made the difficult choice to step down, there was but one clear figure to choose. WNxDHare3 took the reigns as the new Brigadier General of Development. He has been an active and inspiring leader, and will continue to be a shinning example to all. Congratulations WNxDHare3, very well deserved indeed!

Letter From the Editors Hello all from the Editorial staff. It’s time again for another issue of The Nation in its brand new format. Last month’s trial issue gave us good insight into what needed changes, and through your feedback and the feedback found throughout the Creative Works, we have hopefully fixed some majors mistakes and corrected some minor ones. This month, our Combat Journalism staff put forth great effort to submit the reports on time in prime format. The Editors quickly got to work, and here you have our first issue in months that is on time. We’ve hopefully set a standard for the future by which all others will be compared. We hope you will enjoy this issue, and look forward to more to come. Cheers!

Special points of interest Haiku Contest! CabalSEA sees new patch! Easter events in many games! A plethora of tournaments in many sections!
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360) A big day arrived for the Xbox section as they had a new surprise coming out on the 30th March, yes you guessed it! The MW2 map pack, called the “Stimulus Package,” which involves two of the old maps from CoD4: Crash and Overgrown. There are also a few new maps including Storm, Bailout, and Salvage.
WNxMcCLURE361 on receiving Recon Captain (ButtChuckles) and Battle Ops Captain (McCLURE). Congratulations you two! We (along with your section) will be eager to see some of your work to report on!
Modern Warfare 2 will also be having a double XP weekend from the 2nd to the 5th. Therefore, the section will get both new maps and double XP! The CoD MW2 section is going to have some great fun! Join them if you have the game! The section also has two new captains! Please congratulate WNxButtChuckles and
“WNxPwnstar got the satisfaction of nuking a group of people who gave them hassle before.” -Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (PS3)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (PS3) The section was looking forward to a double XP weekend, but they are unsure whether it is intended for Xbox only. Hopefully it is also for PS3 as they're looking forwarded to
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 EU (Xbox 360) A BIG congratulations to the section on getting out of Dev after a 3 month period of time. Finally the section is free and can hopefully give you us great news for our monthly mag. The section is off to a good start with their first Major WNxShifty and his first request was to get a crack staff team to whip the section into shape. Please congratulate the following Captains: FO Captain WNx4evaWasted BO Captain - WNxMoros and WNxCallum as Recon Captain. These guys will hopefully crack the section and start getting the some people out and playing!
having some fun whilst leveling up. WNxLeftForDead is thinking of ideas for a 3v3 Tournament. He wants 12
So as you could imagine this month was a busy month; with getting events and training in! With all those recruits in I took a look at the roster and saw that they have a total of 36 primaries and 11 Secondaries. This is bloody great for a new section although some have been missing a rollcall or two. So if you guys are reading; get signing now!
people to sign up and hopes that this month they can hold a 3v3 Tournament. More news on this will be noted on next report. WNxPwnstar got the satisfaction of nuking a group of people who gave them hassle before. He has made a youtube video showing his skills and kills against them. Take a look in the PS3 section and see the awesome killing spree!

Halo 3 (Xbox 360) As well as the previous section, Halo 3 is widely supported by the UNSC, with 15 primary members (for those of you who don’t know, the borderline for console games is not 15 but 10 members, so don’t be afraid!). This section has also welcomed four new members this month. As well as his older brother, Halo 3 organizes gamenight regularly, hosted by the major WNxAzotum, and a “Flag tournament” is in preparation, which is basically a timed capture the flag. Concerning promotions, WNxZ33 has been chosen to be the new Recon captain of the section.
Valve Games (Xbox 360) Left 4 Dead 2 Expansion Although there is not much going on in this section as a whole, Left 4 Dead 2 is getting an expansion that will include the cast from the original game. Inactivity There really has not been that many posts in the section in a very long time. Hopefully this will change over the course of the next month.
A screenshot of in-game action in MAG (PS3).
MAG (PS3) Out of Development MAG, a fairly recent game released for the Playstation 3, has had great support and even has more members then some regular sections. Therefore, the section has now made it out of development and was added to the Console section. WnxHighRuler has been named the sections first Major and WnxAssertiveBard has been named the sections first Captain of Battle Operations. It is great to see a section make it this far and I am sure that the section will continue to impress all of Warrior Nation™. Lots of Recruits So, how does a section make it out of development? Well, the answer to that is simple and that is by recruiting, and recruit they did. MAG has had 9 new members and 2 members change their primary in order to join just in the month of March. Great work guys, you really have worked hard to get this section moving. Gamenights Another major aspect of any section is of course gamenights and events. Well, although no day has been set for gamenights WnxHighruler is working on fixing this by creating a poll to see what day is best for everyone. We will just have to wait and see what is planned for this section.

Guild Wars Series Fissure of Woe – An event took place on March 27, in which members of the section tackled the Fissure of Woe and smashed their previous time by over 30 minutes. A good
CabalSEA Recon – CabalSea is seeking new recruits to help bolster their roster and bring back the section to the level of activity it once had. Do you have what it takes? CabalSea is a free MMORPG game that awaits your download. Visit www.cabalsea.com for more details.
from a Legendary Box after defeating the boss in the Illusion Castle. Don’t fret if you do not receive it after killing the boss the first time, as there is only a chance that the item will drop. The item itself is class specific, and spawns with 3 random unique options.
time was had by all who participated. April Fool’s Joke – A surprise to those who ventured into town on April 1st this year spread good natured laughs and cheer throughout the forum and in game. The primary characters were reduced to pygmies while their pets were super-sized. Memories of last year’s joke came into play as those who were around remembered how all of the characters were transformed into Gwen dolls.
New Patch! – As of March 29, a new patch released brings Illusion Castle and Steamer Crazy to add to the fun that is CabalSEA. In Illusion Castle, the character style must be above 120 with a battle style above level 11. The reward for completing this dungeon is 10,000 Honor Points and the dungeon duration is 2 hours. Don’t have that much time? Try Steamer Crazy. This dungeon duration is 25 minutes and requires only a character style level above 110 with a battle style above level 10. A new weapon has also been unveiled with the latest patch. The item is dropped
A warrior from CabalSEA.
Allusion to Guild Wars 2 storyline? – A love story was discovered between Gwen and Lieutenant Thackeray. It is said that this leads to a character in Guild Wars 2 who happens to be a Thackeray himself and quite possibly a descendant of Gwen. Only time will tell.
Diablo 2 - West Activity – Diablo 2 West ended up on probation this month and is in danger of being removed from the list of games with Warrior Nation and its members merging with Diablo 2 East and Diablo 2 Europe which would likely result in one section for all of Diablo 2. Without someone to step up and push for a dramatic recruiting spree it looks as though the section will no doubt merge with East again. Hopefully someone reading this will do something to light the spark of interest of those members who have left or to recruit those yet to join Warrior Nation.
Diablo 2 -East New Patch and Ladder Reset – March 23, marked the release of Patch 1.13c and the ladder reset to start season 6. There is much speculation that this may be the last patch before Diablo 3 comes out, but with the amount of time it took Blizzard to release this patch, it may be years before Diablo 3 makes its debut. New Mystery Revealed – In addition to the re-specialization reward for completing the Den of Evil quest in each difficulty, another opportunity to reset stats and skills exists. Similar to the keys that open portals leading to “Uber Tristram”, upon killing bosses throughout the game there arises the possibility of an “Essence” to drop. These “Essences” when combined in the Horadric Cube create a “Token of Absolution” which when right clicked resets your stats and skills. Activity on the Rise - With the onset of a new ladder season and patch 1.13c, activity in game has been higher that it has in over a year. The section is friendly and will welcome anyone interested as primary, secondary or non-primary with open arms.

Knight Online Knights Online last month activity (on forums at least) seems to be way “relaxed”, and even dangerous for the section life, last month roll call summary gave sixteen primary's and three secondary's which can be a problem since a section needs 20 as minimum to stay in Warrior Nation, now it's just a matter of waiting for this months rollcall and wish them the best of luck. But something good is that they have got five new members and one is coming back to the section, that may well help them on this month rollcall’s numbers. The game is getting a serious problem with the hackers and duping items, and their trading system is disabled for now, this reminds me about the situation of other RPG sections, Pangya also had and still do have that problem, I can’t understand why people need to hack and annoy honest people. Anyway lets wish Knights Online the best of luck, to recover and don’t go to probation.
“Due to a recruiting event the section has been holding there are twenty five new members!” -PangYa
Neverwinter Nights Series The Never Winter Knights last months activity was ok, they have got many game nights which shows that the members are active. There was just a new member, but the little recruiting activity doesn’t affect the section since the last roll call summary gave them a nice twenty nine primary's members and eight secondary. The section is working smooth and is no longer in danger, but like all section recruiting it is always something good so lets hope they recruit more people this month, and that their rollcall summary gets bigger, and if it doesn’t it’s also ok.
PangYa A section which fell from the greatness to the deep dark abyss. Anyhow PangYa’s last roll call summary dropped a thirty eight primary’s and five secondary, thirty nine is quite good for any section, not as good as past number which were above the sixty, but the section is on its way to been big again. Due to a recruiting event the section has been holding there are twenty five new members! The section is also running a guild shirt event which is on hold because the people in charge of the design are not getting much time to talk about the topic, but it will be a nice event. Also last month some changes in some of the sections administration, last month the old section’s major resigned from his job and promoted WNXVampeira to Major and WNxLauris to FO Captain, but the new Major couldn’t do her job because of serious real life problems, therefore WNxLauris took her roll as Major until WNXVampeira could be back. There have been other changes too, WNxRyanne has been promoted to BO captain. And WNxNightSider to MP.

Runes of Magic For those interested in a fun fantasy based game, this might be a game you can really get into. Dual class characters, two races to choose from, and a constantly expanding world. This month in Runes Of Magic are eagerly awaiting the start of the Easter special events. Although no specifics have been given yet. All are hoping that this years Easter event will be as fun as last years event. Of course there will be the special event Gashas which we have come to love. For those who don't know what a Gasha is, it is a surprise package which doesn't simply contain one item but also give you the opportunity to get another item for free!
For a full list of what the Gashas can contain. Go here. http://us.runesofmagic.com/us/gasha.html Of course we are all eagerly anticipating the newest update to Runes Of Magic, and hopefully soon we'll start finding out some of the juicier details of this highly anticipated expansion of the Runes Of Magic universe.

Rose Online As of 04/01 Rose Online updated to patch V.252 this included: Several new information windows. These windows will display when your character reaches milestone levels, such as Level 40 for planet Luna quest, level 50 for the ability to drive carts, and so on. They also added various items to the item mall. Several changes were made to skills,
Runescape For those hoping for an Easter event at Runescape... well congratulations you get your wish! In this year’s Easter holiday event, you’ll once again visit Easter bunny Jr's egg plant factory. This year you can expect many of the similar tasks as last year, but with the addition of him needing you to manage the whole facility. Last Friday, March 26th, Runescape conducted the first ever big ticket prize draw. The winner wins a lifetime membership to Runescape along with an all expense paid trip to their studio's. Let's cross our fingers, and wish our Warrior Nation Runescape players luck that it might be one of them. Their next big Prize draw will be done April 26th. So keep your fingers crossed all month. For more info on how to be eligible. just go to the Runescape homepage.
some item stats, buffs, and nerfs. Finally this patch also corrected 3 bugs. At present no events of a large nature are scheduled any time soon.

On a slightly twisted Side note. April 1st allowed some of the more gullible to fall for a Runescape joke. Where they offered a "cheese shield". Needless to say some were spoofed, but in a show of good sportsmanship Runescape has release it's newest Wet N Wildy map at http:// services.jagex.com/m=news/img/Large/wildy_en.jpg
Rappelz Same as February this section is experiencing a low activity, and they are not getting new recruits, last month they’ve got just two new members, and just a small number are active on forums, I don’t know how many more months this section can get a roll call summary under the 20 primary’s but with last month roll call they have survived two, the last roll call summary dropped a 15 primary's and 5 secondary, if there are just three months then they will need to work a lot to make those numbers grow, as for now they will probably fall on probation and that's never good thing for a section, hopefully they will make the section recover and be safe from been archived.
WoW NA PvP Horde Detheroc NOTICE - Section Closing Sadly Detheroc has had several problems, and members will have to find a new section for their primary. No further information is available at this time. Notice of closing was posted 04/04.
WoW’S Death Knight.
WoW NA PvE Kael’thas Led by their intrepid leaders like their Grand Master WNxKira this group is primed and ready to kick the southern end of a northbound Mob! They have been actively raiding 4-5 nights a week. With two 10 player groups raiding Ice Crown Citadel. They have only 2 bosses left in the raid at the time of this article. They expect to have that cut down to just 1 by the end of the week. They have also been running a 25 player raid 2 nights a week, and it's progressing well. Players are gearing up better, and better With progress visible from week to week. This coming month Kael'thas is looking forward to Noblegarden, an annual Easter event with quests that can win players achievements, and earn a title. Wouldn't that be a nice Easter egg to find under a bush in the Garden!

Battlefield Heroes Danger The section desperately needed to pull together in March in order to survive in WN, they also had to find a new Major. Hopefully WNxNemesis will be able to help the section majorly and is already trying to organize events in-game.
Air Rivals 'Murder?' - Air Rivals are a violent place and like to "kill their Major". This is an event where the Major hides in a map and then the FO Captain WNxKingPin gives a cryptic message to give you a hint where he is then you must find him hiding then duel him and defeat him! There is a countdown until this event! So if you like the sound of it then go join in for the fun! More on this next report. The section was recently looking for a new BO Captain and a Recon captain. The long journey of searching took a whole 2 weeks but they managed to snag some suckers, I mean catch some apps and the Major has chosen his next slaves! Please congratulate WNxSharp911 BOC and WNxHostiles RC! Hope you guys do well in your task ahead! Now get to work! Cause for Celebrations - A Special congratulations to WNxSharp911 as his wife is pregnant and they got a 3D picture of the baby. The
Battlefield 2/2142 Time To Kick It Into Gear The section needed to make a big effort this past month to recruit new members, WNxBadPlayer popped in
baby is due on the 9th of June and is looking great so far. Best wishes to you and your wife Sharp and hope the baby is not too much of a handful for you.

Area 51 Friendly Competition The BO Captain WNx Jazka has been organizing a Championship Tournament for the members to get in some competition. Jazka has also been encouraging the section to get a few Smack Matches in to keep themselves entertained. Apart from that there isn't much else to report on, hopefully there'll be more next month as well as the results of the tournament.
to motivate members to recruit. However the section soon found itself needed a new Major, which they got in the form of WNxNay. Nay has been trying to motivate members with a Recruitment Event, whilst also in need of finding a new FO.
C&C Renegade Glory? There have been many exciting things happening in the C&C section to mention. To start with WNxOfzo was promoted at the start of the month to be the new FO Captain for the section. The section also saw one of its members awarded the Member of The Month award, WNxAimer a member from the section was nominated and received the award for the Renegade section. An Eventful Month Well it would be fair to say the section is always busy, holding their usual traing sessions and events throughout the month. However this month saw the winner of the February Screenshot Contest, WNxDragon being announced. Recon Captain WNxKenny has also been creating a bit of competition with his 'Race to the Top of the Ren Ladder'. As well as members holding matches against each others...You'd think though that the Ren section would be excelling in the FPS Challenge with such frequent events?

Call of Duty 4 (PC) When you look at their forums you'll see great activity, match reports everywhere, events being set up a lot, exciting contests and of course important messages. This section has also been working hard to recruit, with a few members they set up a great recruiting event and even made it into the Top 5 section of WN. Beyond filled our agenda! WNxBeyond set up some events for this week, this great member does everything for the section. So yeah, Monday? Training of course! Tuesday? Interclan! It goes on and on, so cancel all your appointments and show up for some fun! Movie Mode The members of the COD 4 section are in the mood to make movies. I watched three of them already which were great and I'm expecting more soon. I'm sure everyone is wanting to see them, so go check them out at the forums!
“When you look at their forums you'll see great activity, match reports everywhere, events being set up a lot, exciting contests and of course important messages.� -Call of Duty 4 (PC)
Call of Duty: United Offensive (PC) Like always the UO Section is as active as ever, holding their usual training sessions and game nights. There were also a couple of field promotions in the section. Also a few WaWa matches have been played, to check the status of those you can check out the forum. 2x2 Tourney Coming Up Last time there was a 2x2 Tourney it was very successful, so they put one up again. The competition was created, and to join it you can read the thread on the UO forums.
Call of Duty 2 (PC) In this section there were also a lot of things going on, with quite a few matches and events taking place. Ofcoures this month again, the Call of Duty 2 section is in the Top 3 of biggest sections in the WN Clan. We even managed to attract back our old Major, WNxGixxercarl. Winner of the Screenshot Contest This great, loyal person has won the prize. WNxBedanarr! Great work, and keep it up!

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (PC) This great and active section has had many things going on, including some promotions. WNxBadger got promoted to BO with WNxShazz stepping down. Also we have WNxCombalex taking the place of Military Police!
At the end of the month the points will be checked and the winner will be given a trophy and a place in the Challenger Hall of Fame! For now WNxCombalex is on top with eight points, followed by WNxZaptagious and WNxBadgar with six points.
1x1 Tourney A special 1x1 Tourney, Riot Shield only! The rules are written in a thread made by WNxSilver1 The Final Bout tournament! Every primary and secondary can compete in this, it's also 1x1. When you win a match or lose a match you get points, though if you forfeit you lose one.
“WNxNemesadi has come up with a frag fest contest where you go out and take a rage on a server and get a load of kills…” -Call of Duty: World at War (PC)
Day of Defeat: Source The figures are not so good for the section. With only 12 primary members and no newcomers this month, DOD:S is now in Recon. As part of the Recon Black Ops team, WNxAwp666 is now in charge of increasing activity and recruitment in the section. As a consequence, Awp666 organized a Day of Defeat Source 1v1 tourna-
Combat Arms A crucial save for the CA sections as they have just scraped 15 Primaries for this month. I hope next month there are a few more recruits and the section firmly gets back to it's feet! The Combat Arms section has a wicked ninja who managed to knife a guy with a peepee-19 on a 1v1. His team chanted him on and told him he is the only 'True Ninja'. Hopefully his ninja skills can keep the section going strong! WNxZavon wants all the members of the Combat Arms to write their in game names in the known thread for obvious reasons as a mix up could happen in game or people could be removed for not knowing that they are in WN etc. so if you're in the section post your name up now!
ment. Contestants are going to play until one of them reaches 40 frags, on the map Anzio. Eight players are part of it, and involves some of them are secondary members. Good luck to all of you!
Call of Duty: World at War (PC) The section has managed to recruit two new members but on the other hand there has been a few saying their goodbyes. This might be it for the WaW section but hopefully they can escape it back and recruit a few before the end of this rollcall or they will be forced to shut down which would be a real shame. WNxNemesadi has come up with a frag fest contest where you go out and take a rage on a server and get a load of kills, then take a screenshot and post it in the thread. No one yet has sent in a SS but hopefully there will be some people joining in. Best wishes to you guys on getting your 15 primaries! I hope it all goes well for those who are trying to keep the section alive! You guys can do it!

Dystopia After the great exodus of February 2010, only 15 primary members are remaining and dystopia is on the brink of being put in probation. The newly promoted major, WNxGump, decided to handle things, for instance trying to organize a gamenight… without success. Unfortunately, activity is at its lowest point for a long time and only a few members are willing to follow the major, trying to give birth to a brand new Dystopia section.

It is no secret that the Left 4 Dead section has had lots of trouble keep their heads above water in terms of member count over the past few months. However, this last month they had twenty primary members sign, with most of them being active participants in both the forums and Events. This seems to be the light at the end of the tunnel for them, as they will be safe from probation for now the second month in a row. Since March 1st they have had seven new primaries, one new secondary, and one returning primary. With the recruits seemingly pouring in, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for them. Let us all give a great big congratulations to their officers WNxWesker, WNxHedgehog and WNx The Pope, as well as all their members both new and old.

How is it that an old dying section was able to work their way back to semi-respectable numbers? Well, they have had no shortage of events and plan on having even more. In the month of March they have had many a successful gamenight. These gamenights are the meat that keeps this section together and also what helps them to appeal to new members. In addition to gamenights, they also have a forum contest called the 'March Caption Contest' which ended on March 30th. WNxThe Pope was declared as the winner of the contest, so let us all give him a great big congrats. Although most of their Events have been successful the Man Vs Tank Tournament was canceled due to lack of interest they should be starting a new tournament very shortly.

Promotions Due to all the activity in this section there were three people who were granted field promotions for the month of March. WNxSkipper and WNxJWelch were both promoted to Corporal while WNxBlood Raven was promoted to Sergeant. Also there were several Honorable mentions for the new members who have not been here quite long enough to be given a promotion this month. Also, WNxHedgehog was promoted to Major due to WNxWesker stepping down and changing primary. He is still searching for both an FO and now a newly opened Recon position.

Team Fortress 2 Recruit, Recruits, and More Recruits So, in the month of March Team Fortress 2 had a grand total of twelve new members joining their ranks.

The answer, for those of you who don't already know, was a stamp. Five people got it correct, with WNx Krit Sandvich being the first to answer correctly.

Events The only thing that Team Fortress 2 has had more than recruits is events. In the month of March they have had 8 game nights, only now instead of them being an hour long they go much longer due to merging the recruiting nights and the game nights into one weekly event. They also are having a monthly tournament and a monthly forum's contest.
WNxKaRath and WNxThorsTer have been promoted respectively to field ops captain and recon captain. And

last but not least, WNxWolf is the Member of March 2010.
Planetside Activity Although there has not been very much activity in this section, Aegis from Black Ops has stepped in to help the leadership get this section back in the heat of the action. The current attempt is to have two Outfit nights a week. Hopefully this will help and we will see this section back in the safe zone sometime soon.
War Rock Keep Fighting Although War Rock only had 19 primary members this month, they keep growing and look like they are going to just be getting stronger. They had seven new members this month and at the rate they are growing that number can only go up. Promotions At the beginning of the month WNxJaideep was promoted to BO after showing how hard he could work as MP. He worked so hard as BO that when WNxZacboi101 stepped down from major, the final decision rested on WNxJaideep getting a second promotion in the same month.

OGame New Members! Please welcome the 4 newest members in the OGame Alliance: WNxNutella, WNxConan, WNxLadyDufal and WNxFearLess. Also welcome WNxKOTR, WNXTrillian, WNxLittleRage and WNxWattZ who joined the section as well. WN Scared Them Off The war between WN and the JEDI/SITH looks to be over, as WN scared most of the JEDI/SITH members into vacation mode. This gives WN time to rebuild their fleets and now they are waiting for The JEDI/SITH members to come out of vacation, so they can blow them up. Weirdest Expedition's Captain Steeler told the troops to try and find the Weirdest Expedition result. After a slow start the members of OGame started finding the weirdest results they could, the event ends at the end of the month and it's going to be close on whoever wins it. Another Millionaire WNxArby has joined those privileged few, being another WNx Member reaching over 1 million points. This is a grand achievement in OGame and also very time consuming.

Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War II Truly Awesome WNxLocklear, GM of the DOW II section, has displayed a whole new level of awesome, as he achieved a true skill of 31. WNxLocklear is showing that he is in the top group of players in DOW II. He is also currently ranked 74th in the world in 2v2 games. GTI Contest - March Another guess the item contest was held this month. Five members participated in this contest and perhaps the item was to easy to guess, as all 5 of the members got the correct answer, but as WNxLocklear was the fastest of them all, he gets the win. Loyalists of WN Congratulations to WNxClash and WNxManiac who received their 4 year loyalty medals early this month. Both of these members have been with the section for a long time and it looks like they will stay for a long time. League of Champions The League of Champions (LoC) is a friendly 1v1 season where each week, WNxLocklear selects two members to vs. each other. The First match of the LoC 2010 season was between WNxAbaddon and WNxVioletHeart. WNxAbaddon proved that he was the better player and won the first match of the 2010 season. The Second match was also played late in march between WNxFUBAR and current champion WNxAbaddon, WNxAbaddon went 2-0 this season as he cruised to victory against WNxFUBAR. The End of the Feb 1v1 Tournament DOW II's 1v1 tournament finally concluded in late march, This 1v1 tournament was long and tiring for many, but three stood above the rest and took gold, silver and bronze. In 3rd place with the bronze... WNxAerin, in 2nd place with the silver... WNxDarkRaven and in 1st place with the shiny gold... WNxMarvin. Congratulations to the 3 of you, especially WNxMarvin the tournament winner. .

Warcraft 3 EU New Patch Patch 1.24e came up in early March, it only had five fixes in it, but all related to hacks. Blizzard reacted very quickly towards this hacks, sensing a problem of them. One of the hacks was called a 'sheep hack' where it turns all the units into sheep... A bit weird isn’t it? Hopefully Blizzard can keep patching and keep the hacks on the public servers.
the GM, WNxCominBk2life. The WC3 EU section is surely going to be archived as soon as Starcraft 2 is released as the majority of their members including ex-leadership and current leadership will join the Starcraft 2 section. Many thought they would stay alive to then, but now it seems that it will not.
Will it survive! After having ever-increasing inactivity, WC3 EU has found its FO, RG and its Recon HG dismissed as they weren't meeting the standards of recruiting given by the Recon Department. As both these spots were opened up, the only current leadership role belongs to

Heroes of Newerth HoN has not been so active on the last month but neither so inactive, I can say they have been “moderated” active, which a nice amount of game nights but not exceeded which is not bad actually. WnxHugs4Peace has been promoted to Recon Capt. on the last month. There are also two new members on the section and they are: WNxiRANDUMBF and WnxRaven. As for the field ranks there were a lot of promotions but I can’t list them all here because it would be a long space used... HoN last roll call summary dropped a good number with thirty two primary’s and eight secondary’s which is a very good number. And the last thing to report of HoN is that they
