Besieged: Still Undefeated
Somehow, Lakshmi has continued to repel the enemy forces attacking Al Zahbi. We are now (9/25) 283-0. There is only 1 other server still undefeated: Siren. (See the Besieged Server Records at FFXIclopedia.)
We participate in Besieged whenever we can, and still hate all the lag, but do enjoy defending the Astral Candescence. Some of the fights have been awfully close calls, with all of the generals being defeated, and the Hall of Binding breeched, but somehow we still manage to win. More than once we've been shocked when they end up retreating. After the last big maintenance on August 21st, we had the Undead, then the Mamools, then the Trolls, and finally the Trolls again, all back to back. Fortunately there were enough people already online and willing to defend the city, and we were able to keep our winning streak going.
I figure we'll lose after the next maintenance update, since they're going to be making Besieged harder, but I'd really like to see Siren lose first. :-)
It seems there are a lot of people who don't like Besieged, and avoid it whenever possible. I don't think they understand what's at stake if we lose the Astral Candescence to the Beastmen. They're all quick to complain if the warp Taru gets kidnapped. Just think how they'll feel when they get no exp bonuses fighting in Sanction areas, and can't use the Runic Portals to get to their favorite Merit camps!
