Server First / Soga First
Call it bragging rights... Call it epeen... Call it what you want... We don't really give a damn !!!
The truth of the matter is that Soga Mijizi performed a server first on Lucan tonight, not only capturing their first T4 keep, but also claiming it for the guild as our own.
And before you say... here's the screenshot to prove it.
