A couple of weeks ago, November 13th specifically, Trystram of Variance released a thread detailing the “glorious world first victory” of the destruction of some homes. They called it “Operation Crispy Sausage” as it took place near Sausage Lake.

The guilds of Variance, RPB, Mahtisoturit were all involved in the operation that occurred near the shores of Sausage Lake. Two homes were destroyed in the raid and reduced to ruins. The deed was carried out soon after the housing patch was released and was done solely with starter axes.

The two houses fell easily too our naked bodies and mighty starter axes.

Trystram posted pictures of the operation in the act and the resulting destruction. This writer does note though, that the pictures detail an earlier version of the housing system. The house models and ruins in the pictures that are posted, are no longer in use at this time. The posted pictures range from people actively hitting the houses to the resulting destruction and shots of the ruins.

As expected by everyone I think, the posts following Trystram’s original vary from support, to condemnation, to whining; as is the nature of MMOs. Some condemned it due to the fact that this is beta, giving the reason that for testing purposes these players should have been allowed to finish their homes. This front was led initially by forum poster, Zizzy.

I never raged over internet but this is a perfect time to start.

WHY THE *CENSURE* ARE YOU *CENSURE* *CENSURE* DOING THAT?! IT’S NOT JUST A TOWN, IT’S FOR THE GOOD OF THE GAME YOU’RE GOING TO PLAY.

We have to build a crowded city so that we can see how can a server handle that, and improve the game. You’re just destroying it for everyone.

I HOPE YOU’LL SIT ACCIDENTALLY SIT ON YOUR BALLS SOMEDAY. GOOD DAY SIR.

Other posters, gave their support for the operation. Such as Khyaine, the lead Community Moderator.

Except that the entire mechanic needs to be tested. It’s all part of a full loot, full pvp game.

We couldn’t have achieved the same result if people built close together – didn’t build half finished homes – worked as a team to achieve their objective.

If you place your foundation down in the middle of no where to reserve your spot and to be the quickest in getting a house built, you will, without any doubt whatsoever, find your nemisis, your opposite, looking for that house to destroy.

Five naked guys with zero skills and newbie axes brought down two houses within about half an hour. That’s some really important testing right there if you ask me.

I’m sincerely surprised to see the complaning. It’s all part of this game. This is what you’ve signed up for.
