lol. I actually completely forgot twstats existed. That's how far removed I've been from TW for the last year. So yah, I might go check it out. Nice to see you're still around, PetarP.
And now, since it's been a year since I've logged on and I've not been involved I would like to say a few things about SETO and DNS in general.
World 9 is the only world I've ever played. I first joined a tribe called LoD (life or death), but then soon joined [IB] afterwards. They were a great group of people. Shortly after I joined, SETO was formed between Invite and IB. Not long after that, IB and SETO were cast into a war with DNS. During this time I rose through the ranks and eventually became the Duke of IB. DNS didn't really focus on us a whole lot, but SETO began to gain the reputation of holding their own against the war-machine, and building the brick wall. After awhile, DNS began conquering some big enemies, but began to get a reputation of simply getting their enemies to merge into themselves. After plague disbanded (ah, the good ol' days), IB and Invite merged to form SETO. Sometime after that I quit, just from being burned out and too much going on in r/l.
My perspective-
I loved SETO. I thought and still think SETO is awesome. Having said that, I have a LOT of respect for DNS. I think they were smart, and they loved the game. Psihic is genius, imo. They've got great active players like Savraa, who is rumored to have account-sat around 30 people at a time (no life!). They had a lot of tribes at one point (who didnt? SETO had a lot at one point too. My goal as a duke was to trim down our tribes to just one tribe, which I succeeded in doing. I'm not a fan of families), but every tribe in their family was almost always in the top 20 and top 10 rank, which was impressive for the early days. I had the chance to speak with Savraa on several occasions on IM, as well as several other leaders in the world. I always enjoyed speaking with those people. IMHO, that's what made the game fun. Sure, the fighting on the battlefield was a plus, but the people were what made the game. And that part is what I miss the most.
I definately don't know much about what's happening anymore, but sometimes I still miss it, and sometimes I don't. Good luck, SETO and DNS! May the better tribe win!
