Template:Server
Firetree is an EST US PvP server founded February of 2005, among the first wave of new servers established after the game was released.
Firetree consists of a great community, small enough so everyone knows each other, but large enough to house many great guilds.
As a special note of interest, a 2010 poll taken on the Reckoning Battlegroup forums ranked Firetree as #1 most hated server among the battlegroup, even managing to beat out those fags over in Scarlet Crusade and Shadow Council.
Culture
Pre-BC entry: Alliance side, Firetree’s community has maintained an enigmatic appeal that has kept many of the original players on the server for several years. In the very early days, many guilds reshuffled their power structures due to raid loot disputes and personal animosity, but nothing to the severity of Hordeside politics. Even amidst restructuring, PvE progression was still being done at an acceptable rate with a good number of Alliance guilds. Aside from the notable exceptions of the Chosen/Lucky Strikes/Arc three-capital assault (that crashed Kalimdor) and the Chosen/Lucky Strikes assassination of Thrall, Alliance world PvP has been sporadic at best. Alliance has focused on PvE in such detail that many advanced guilds offer pick-up spots for non-guilded members to partake in as well as offering them loot.
Firetree Horde has, for a long time, struggled to maintain a unified position on almost any front. (With the exception of pre-rushing Alterac Valley in which Horde enjoyed superiority for years at a time) Before the Burning Crusade, Horde PvE was significantly stifled, due to continual spats and disagreements between capable players and capable leaders. While they lacked a unified vision to go after dungeon objectives, they compensated with a fierce continual world and Battleground PvP presence that was never to be underestimated. With the drastic changes to game mechanics brought by the Burning Crusade (specifically 10-man raiding teams), Horde PvE progression has recently accelerated to unprecedented levels.
September 14th, 2010 entry by Rabblerouser, Hero of the Alliance.
Nearing the end of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, Firetree continues to be a meek and mild sort of server. There is very little interest in World PvP, Alliance or Horde side. Horde dominates the population and they are leaps and bounds ahead in PvE progression. With the introduction of faction changes, a good portion of players have transferred to Horde for the sole purpose of doing Wintergrasp, which the Horde are in possession of 99% of the time in any given week.
Despite it’s current condition, Firetree has an unlimited amount of potential. With the current landscape mostly void and barren, any individual or guild could make quite an impact on the server.
Alliance Guilds of Interest
Ars Praelium- Mostly a bunch of nobodies who like to kill pixel dragons.
Chosen- Composed primarily of Firetree’s former royalty, they maintain a quiet, elitist attitude with decent PvE progression. Many of Firetree’s oldest players can be found here. Most of it’s members are on inactive status.
Serious Face-Leader for the Alliance in PvE progression, SF members run the gamut from dipshit loser retards, to high quality respectable players.
Storm- PvE guild. Most of the members keep to themselves.
Talons of the Zephyr-Yet Another fairly standard PvE guild, they have a fair share of idiots and decent players.
Terror Doctrine-Crusaders against stupidity and obesity in children world-wide, Terror Doctrine is the only decent PvP focused guild on Firetree. They run the Alliance’s only scheduled premades worth noting.
Wicked Scrumptious- Although they maintain PvE progression, the guild is largely fallen apart due to fights over who gets the last ho-ho. From guild leader down, you’ll find nothing but fat, ugly, kids whose only other hobby outside of WoW is attending furry conventions.
As with most servers, the Alliance have a large number of “we have a tabard” type of guilds. These fluctuate between 5-20 in any given week. For the most part, these guilds never progress beyond the first four bosses in ICC 10, and are composed of the same idiots who have guild-hopped through dozens of other guilds.
Horde Guilds of Interest
D E R E L I C T-PvP focused guild, they launch small raids into Stormwind and Ironforge, where they are able to slaughter endless waves of city guards and the occasional level 19 twink who just emerged from a WSG. While extremely active in the PvP realm, it’s members are on the same intelligence level as a brick.
DoG-Apparently these guys do PvE?
No Life- The Horde equivalent of Chosen, but more useless.
Pie Chart- The biggest of all the kids at fat camp, Pie Chart is #1 on the server for PvE progression. As such, their egos are massively over-inflated due to their success at a video game. Rumor has it that their guild leader owes his WoW success to a colossal level of obesity that has left him confined to the limits of his bed room, until he can afford a garage door to be installed on the far wall of his room. Meanwhile, his parents bring him a steady supply of KFC double downs and grilled cheese double-burger melts.
