1.After a brief stint abstaining from TW, I returned to the game to brush of the dust. After reconnecting with many past peers and connecting with many new ones, it became clear that W58′s settings were just what we wanted to develop a pre-made tribe from day one until the end of the world.

2. Most of us have competed together in some capacity, but there are several new faces.

3. A larger chance, but by no means is it guaranteed. Generally speaking, pre-made tribes are formed by active forum personalities that tend to be very committed in-game, and a collection of these individuals with their peers have a distinct advantage over random formations.

4. Depends on the situation really. The bloated numbers of a mass-recruited tribe are misleading as most members are unable to cooperate, but a selective tribe that coordinates well will fare better with more like-minded members.

5. Per the usual response, it is too early to really note anything, but after a good start-up we are growing well and on our way.

6. For the most part. The only true setback would be the loss of a couple valued members. These individuals were unable to keep their commitment to the game and left due to real life issues, which is common but still disappointing.

7. I think we all expect many if not most of the current top tribes to dissolve into irrelevance. Without a doubt I expect ZOMBIE to solidify its place amongst the remaining top tribes, especially once Noblemen become a commonplace.

8. Longevity. Its common to get caught up in early rankings, but we’re focusing on the long run. Start-up is exciting, but end-world is the goal.

1. Well, this is my last world (hopefully) I wanted the best chance to do great things and go out with a bang so to speak and a premade ensured I could get the players and the positioning I wanted. But also, mostly because I wanted to have fun, in game recruited players are often quiet and use the forums little, but we are all friends here and that makes things, easier, more fun and more exciting. Plus wouldn’t you want to spend your last world amoungst people you have met over the 3-4 years you have played?

2. A lot have, pretty much everyone has played with someone else on another world, bar a few of the world recruits.

3. I would say it is equal or less, often premades lack the determination to go on and fizzle out quickly, or crumble under the expectations of the community. But equally they are normally better organized and the members are more familiar with each other which boosts their chances.

4. It depends who makes up the numbers.

5. About as well as can be hoped for really, some minor set backs have occurred as always happens, but we’re drifting along quite smoothly.

6. The spread is, the players are and the rankings are, the only real shock is the loss of Pacman, how slowly the world expanded and how few actually joined up.

7. I think we will have lot’s of fun.

8. The same as everyone else is I guess, to get to the top and go out knowing that you did something important and you made a difference.

1. I had w58 planned for about 6 months, when the settings came out I was informed that it was church world which wasn’t ideal however it’s not the worst thing in the world. It adds a new edge to the game which is always nice I guess.

2. All of the players get on very well together yeah, we weren’t all together in a tribe on a previous world. However many of us have played similar worlds either against eachother or with eachother. It’s very nice to see everyone getting on so well.

3. Premade’s survival depends on activity, a good, well liked leader and a good player base. Without that, premades do fail. I’d like to think I am well liked within the tribe haha. Many premades fail, mainly to due to a lack of activity but it’s something I think I can surpass.

4. People underestimate larger tribes. There is definitely safety in numbers. I’ve played in numerous tribes with small member counts and if you’re too spread you end up fighting bigger tribes and it never goes down well. So certainly I believe in that – however I do despise that style.

5. Tribe is doing well yes, we’ve only joined recently but we should be seeing a few members in the top 20 very soon. The tribe has a very nice spread, plenty of space for individual farming and close support when needed.

6. Yes, everything is going to plan and I hope it stays this way, the tribe is definitely heading in the right direction.

7. I’d like to think that despite our small member count in comparison to other top tribes that we can still push for rank 1 and proceed from there and hopefully achieve a world win.

8. My aim is to lead a tribe to the very end. As a tribe there will be players who won’t be interested in going all the way (as there always is) but I certainly would like to go the full stretch with the tribe.

1. To be honest with you, it was a last minute thing. I told a friend I was going to join to practice start-up and screw around and he told me I should start a pre-made. (Thanks KillerWolf!)

2.  Not all of them but some of them have played with each other and I have played with a couple of players on previous worlds.

3. To be honest, I don’t think it is necessarily pre-mades that have the larger chance of survival. Rather I think it is the tribes that start out with members that work together well. So depending on how you classify a pre-made, yes or no.

4. Only if, within the numbers, you also have skill or players that are willing to learn. If you have a mass-recruitment tribe that is filled with people who are willing to learn and a leader who is willing to teach, yes there is safety in that in my opinion.

5. Hmm. This is a difficult question for me to answer personally. I try not to judge my own tribe/members as much as possible because I will always be biased whether that bias is leading towards the good side or the bad side.

6. I never had any expectations so yes. They are going better than expected.

7. I’m not sure to be honest. I would really like us to go far and I believe with the players I know that we have within the tribe, we do have strength. We will see what happens when we have our first “real” war with nobles. That is where the fun begins.

8. I am hoping that all of our members get to know each other and everyone walks away with some new friends, maybe that they will play on future worlds with. We do have some newer players (Such as myself) and I have learned that the more friendships you have, the more you want to come back to this game.

1. We love new challenges within new worlds and new settings. Traditionally, we have repeatably moved to new worlds either because we feel that we have achieved some of our goals or that there is no longer any competition in the worlds we play. We had enough fun in W57, so here we are in W58.:)

2. Not 100% of our members, but most have yes.

3. There are many kinds of tribe formats in this game, and Pre-made is definately one of most powerful formats. If you can revise key weaknesses, Pre-made tribes can prove to be successful in any new worlds.

4. Based on our spread, there is not safety in numbers at all. But since we are risk takers, we like our current challenge.

5. Not bad, but not 100% satisfied with our tribe either.

6. In terms of a percentage, maybe around 70%

7. I heard many elite groups joined W58. I personally would like ARMADA to become one of major tribes in K45 & K55 but our position will very much depend on diplomacy situated around our tribe.

8. On World 57, ARMADA earned some disgrace in our reputation, this was because of a few ARMADA players acted wrong later in the world. We hope to recover our reputation on this world.
