Valteryl got got.

He's crying on the forums with "waaaah I got kicked because I posted screenshots of people so I'm crying now and doing exactly the thing I'm getting kicked for waaaaah."

Hopefully everyone will begin to see the type of horrid homunculus of a person he is, if they haven't already. This is the true face of Aeilmar/Valteryl we have been aware of for quite a few years at this point. Spiteful, hateful, arrogant and bitter. Kudos to Children of Eternity for holding their ground and integrity, there might still be hope for the various Elf communities on our server.

Overview

Our hotly awaited quarterly report on the PCU and its outlook. We apologise for the slight delay but there had been some last minute changes that needed to be done before publishing. It has been quite the dramatic four months! It appears the PCU event horizon has finally come, the day when we can safely say the group as a whole is on an inexorable decline.

Guild Collapses.

There have been some major casualties to the PCU. The <Blood of Martyrs>, one of the main flagship Alliance based guilds for the cultic group has collapsed, most of its membership having migrated to Epsilon. In it’s place a “PCU / Not PCU” replacement in the shape of the <Vestige of the Flame> has recently popped up to apparently fill the gap for fascist religious fundamentalist Scarlet Crusade RP.

Other significant casualties include the <Aparoshe Stampede> the “official” RP guild of the PCU and the apparent collapse of <Primal Pact>, with most of the remnants of it being folded into the barely animated <Painted Shields>. It also appears as if the <Coppersail Corsairs> have after many iterations and forms have also gone into inactivity.

Following the trend of guilds taken over by the <Grim Gest>, the resident San’layn of RP, <Sunnyglade Ratters> has been sucked dry and left to decay under their custodianship and have folded, much like the <Stormwind City Sentry> before it.

As the <Highblood Myrmidons> have come under Xotrios’ leadership (and then subsequently relegated to be managed by a low level alt of his) we can assume the last of the Blood Elf PCU guilds will be looking to folding as well. Not to worry! Talirei and her guild of harassing women haters and bigots <The Sunspear> will likely open their arms to any incel Blood Elves wanting the “authentic” Blood Elf experience, but don’t want to have to worship at he altar of Talenthiel every morning.

Stagnation, Decline and Surprises.

Across the board there has been very little growth and in most cases, contraction of guild membership, with the proportions of max level characters in a number of guilds having declined considerably, even in the new leadership guild of the PCU the <Hand of Conquest>. In most cases being stuffed with alts in order to conserve the image that they are healthy, case in point being most prevalent within the <Red Venturers> and <Ronin>.

The only guilds showing an overall net increase have been <Boomtech Inc>, The “Shadowbane Coven” (<Cleft of Shadow>/<Ashen Wake>) and ironically, <The Rotgarde> of all people, Otherwise the trend has been stagnation or continued decline, even as the Dragonflight expansion hits its first major content patch (usually when we would expect an up tick in activity across the game, rp included).

So, where does that leave the PCU? Considering their public image is at an all time low, Gruggosh has done nothing to improve any of their atrocious behavior or even the appearance of such. Their own members bicker and trade barbs at one another over guild threads, their own guild threads at that (take note of <The Rotgarde> thread in recent weeks) and they are openly contested like nothing else in game these days, it is safe to suggest that the battle is in fact, over.

Beware The “FakeCU”.

However! We should not rest on laurels. It has become painfully obvious over the last few months that the PCU are attempting some sort of contingency plan to hide from the community until they are forgotten about - think of it like the ratlines to Argentina!

As each PCU guild that decays, a few “FakeCU” guilds seem to show up. This trend is not only obvious in some simple alt searches but how they present themselves, or the ones who have done so publicly at least. Guild thread pops up, title usually has an emoji icon inside it, main post sets out its big vision and within one hour PCU posters are over it like a hot rash saying “HOW GOOD” “HOW BASED” “HOW RAD” these people who have appeared out of nowhere are.The only people who comment on these threads are in turn, only other PCU members or their alts.

We would like to thank the eagle eyed readers who have shared with us recently those suspected of being PCU front guilds.

Predicted projections; changes going forward.

So, what will happen next? We have some predictions as usual. It is highly likely that the <Highblood Myrmidons> will fall off the PCU actives list. <Azure Dawn> is only on it by virtue that the guild functionally exists but its member base have all escaped to the Horde. There are many guilds who are looking extremely precarious in terms of activity and membership. For a group that flaunts how “active” they are, the PCU have had shockingly little to share in public aside from a small brief campaign in Blackrock Mountain, despite so many guilds claiming they are “going to the Dragon Isles.”

To paraphrase a statement made by Perroy a few years ago: “If your guild has under 30 high level people is it really a guild?” Many PCU guilds have dropped under that threshold. This is why we are monitoring the composition of guilds as much as the total net amount.

We here at CoAD think it’s quite reasonable now as the expansion has been out more than six months for people to have levelled their main characters up, the ones who they are going to actually spend the most time on. While yes it is very much true that you do not -need- to be at max level to RP the PCU have placed much stigma on “alt characters” (especially so recently) over the years, so we will merely be holding them to their own standards from here on out.

Which is to say, if there is a PCU guild with under thirty (30) max level characters and/or forty (40) 60+ characters, it will be being added to the “Walking Dead” classification of guild, a shell being propped up purely to maintain an illusion of activity. After all to once again paraphrase the former Dear Leader “Lol just merge with a bigger guild if your guild is so small.”

Concluding thoughts.

While we should allow some time to celebrate, the PCU core is remarkably resilient and manipulative. Morsteth in particular has already been removed from one server before, and he and his guild will likely remain a source of harassment and abuse to others for time to come. Though the extremely recent pantomime show done by his San’layn Quillestra shows that there is a break down in command that would not have happened even two years ago.

Gruggosh remains very much seemingly a continuity figure, but without the same amount of apparent baggage that Perroy carried, which is likely why he was chosen. A “fresh” face tied to little public controversy but long standing officership in the second largest PCU guild.

The fact that there are those who do not recite pure party orthodoxy on command however now and at least a significant minority disaffected with him by the reports we get continues to make us think he will be continuing his gradual purge of elements formerly associated with the Rotgarde and Grim Gest old guard.

Another indicator is also a very simple one. A dramatic collapse in PCU activity in barely half a year. Major guilds collapsing, some consolidating into others and clear fractures. We point you to the <Warsong Marauders> guild that popped up, which we have NOT included in this census due to the fact the leader appears to have deleted and/or removed his characters from PCU guilds.

For now though, we shall continue to remain vigilant, watch and report on changes of significance from within the PCU, their antics and any abuse we find coming from their ranks.

PCU (Azure Dawn) Harassment on Social Media

With kind permission from Xannna to link this tweet thread outlining what has been going on.

https://twitter.com/XannnaGG/status/1624545020610068480?t=NUMOyKHo3fg_wMoNa0p-hQ&s=19

While it appears that the abusive material directed at the player in question has been rightfully removed, this is not the first time the Azure Dawn has targetted Xannna or their friends.

One of Argent Dawn’s resident Trolls from Olgino, Lonnel (aka Andelir, Valteryl and Aeilmar) repeatedly engaged in harassment in game of the player and their friends over their desires to leave the Azure Dawn and make their own guild - remember, no competition is allowed within the PCU!

A follow-up on Azure Dawn harassment.

With confirmation from Xannna we would like to share the evidence of prior wrongdoing from the Azure Dawn towards her and their friends.
