Default Help for New and Prospective PvPers - IRC and GvG Commentary

As per this thread, we are dedicated towards helping new players get involved in GvG and PvP as a whole. We will do our best to provide you with resources so that you can have fun and PvP at the level you want to.

To assist with finding guests as well as ask questions, we have established an IRC channel #gwgpickup on the Gamesurge network. You will need a program like xchat or mIRC to get into the channel, and both of those websites have setup guides. The channel info is as follows:
  • Server: irc.gamesurge.net
  • Port: 6667
  • Channel: #gwgpickup

For those of you who would prefer to not install a client, instructions for using the web client are available.

We will also be covering this month's Tournament Finals on Mumble, featuring several renowned PvPers as commentators. Please come to observe the finals of this month's tournament (via Observer Mode) with the expert commentary to help you understand what is going on. This is a great way to understand how GvG works, meet some top players (who would love to guest for you), and ask questions! This event will begin at 3:30 PM UTC-4 on Saturday the 30th[/b] and run until approximately 6:00 PM. Feel free to come for the entire time, or pop in and out as your schedule requires. If you do not use Guru Mumble, you can download it here and set the address to 69.164.205.88

UPDATE: Everything is set on Mumble! Spectators should join the GvG Observers channel under GvG Commentary. Everyone in the Observers channel will be able to hear the Commentators, and the Observers will be able to talk freely without disturbing the commentary. Questions will be taken in the #gwgpickup IRC channel to keep things running smoothly. We will do our best to record the entirety of the event.

We hope you will join us on IRC and Mumble and get involved!

Update: Recordings of matches with synced commentary are available here.

Since Ariena is MIA I have invited Apok along again to record for us and will talk to some folks on the IRC #gwgpickup regarding a couple of spare commentators.

I think we can better last months successful turnout

Sorry about that, having lots of exams here (that are done now!)

We *may* have an in-game announcement soon for these! Also doing some final pre-preparation stuff for my planned tournament, please PM me if you are interested in helping out! Looking for some top players to volunteer a little time =)

This was an awesome event, thx guys - was good to hear the different opinions and comments by the PvP pros.

I hope this will continue, since I will definitely try and tune in every month.
Unfortunately, I don't have many options when it comes to actually playing GvG (and HA), but have pretty much been following the GvG scene for the last 3+ years very religiously... since vD, PnH, EW, eF days - so, please keep it up!
