"Testing armors" is my current excuse for playing cRPG and not working on this mod. This is ideally the armor/weapon combination I have in my head for the Stark House guard or whatever, at least that's what's indicated in the show. The standard troops would carry and assortment of shields and other weapon combinations.

Sounds silly having two teams with one leader. I thought it was clans. My own and another clan (Makes 30-45 people) were expecting to be in our own TS's leading our own men.

As this was to be our first Vikingr event we are extremely disappointed and won't be attending.

We'll set up an unofficial event for any Vikingr clans wishing to play a more traditional clan battle using this excellent mod.

Details to come in the very near future.

One leader per team, you understand that right? The shield-wall events do not pull in as many numbers as the historical events that are synonymous with Víkingr. Instead, it provides the community a chance for the regulars both old and new to meet up, socialise and throw some spears around. If you're hankering for a chance to 'prove your worth' with your group, then the historical events are most likely going to be more suitable for you. That said, the only groups that are allowed to form their own hosts in those events are those whom have a historical (real-world) connection to Víkingr and have committed themselves as positive members of the community. In other words; long-standing and respected and thus rules you out.
We are in a unique position with the shield-wall events to keep admin and player hassle to an absolute minimum. One leader per team, on one TeamSpeak server, split into two appropriate channels, provides every participating player a refreshing and enjoyable evening. Of course you wouldn't know any better having never participated in either the historical battles nor the shield-wall events. 

You'll receive minimal support and no-turn for your so-called 'unofficial' event - guaranteed.

There's a difference between Shieldwall Events, which are held (semi-)regularly and emphasize fighting as a cohesive unit (i.e. a shieldwall) no matter what, and standard Events, which feature a sign-up process, a lot of background history and roleplaying, and clans fighting as separate hosts under their own leaders and the overall commanders, and which are held more rarely because of the amount of work involved. They're distinct types of game with distinct rules. There might be a new standard Event coming soon if that's the only type you fancy, but that's no reason to badmouth the Shieldwall Event and the people who put their time and energy into organizing it.

Huge fan of the server so thanks to the scene creators and admins for opening it and keeping it alive. I get lost for hours on end most evenings on this server, extremely addictive and I recommend it to ALL fans of the NW expansion.

I have a question to ask; I am a GMT timezone and very often during the day/evening I cannot find the server (With or without players in it) sometimes not until 9pmGMT and onward can I find the server. If possible can the server be accessible to any public players at any time please. Myself and people in the regiment I am apart of LOVE to play together on this server.

I'd like to apply for an Admin position once there is an opening so if you could announce it when positions need filling by mature, experienced gamers, I'll put in my application.

Thank you for reading and please keep up the good work.

Glad to hear you like it as much as we do!

However, this is a bit strange. Personally, I am able to find the server at any time of day, as it is run continuously. Make sure you check if your firewall is interfering and blocking the connection (in this case, the server list would be very small or would not even have any servers show up). Try turning that off when you can't find the server.

If that doesn't work, it could just be a silly mistake like sorting it by the amount of players when it has no players in it (so it would not show up near the bottom when you scroll down). In this case, make you you sort by name and find it alphabetically that way.

Let me know what happens!
