♞ 8th King's Royal Hussars [EU] - Cavalry League Champions

[Octanidas]

I'm afraid Rastignac already said everything so there is nothing left for Cage.

You are perhaps the best example of a group of dedicated friends who could improve and arrive at the top of the competitive scene.

Farewell then 8th lads, you were formidable opponents but also good friends to chat with. Your achievements will always be remembered!

[Erik le Rouge]

Well done 8th, you've been great in this community, became a super important part of it and a great group of friends as well. I always appreciated you guys immensely and I'm glad your group and community will stay together so I can spend some time with you guys occasionally.

It's been a blast facing you and playing with you, looking forward to playing again on whichever game we end up on !

This post is quite late coming since we disbanded a little while ago and it is mainly due to me being away and working but also in part me not knowing quite what to write or how to say it. Baffling as it may be, I’m sat here pushed to reflect in one post four and a half years of a community that has not only done so much within that time, but developed and grown over some of the most important years of our lives to become something I am genuinely so proud of today. Now we aren’t just a collection of random players in a regiment, but a solid group of mates.

 Starting the regiment back in January 2017, I had no real expectations of where it would go or how it would develop from a tight-knit group all from NRP. As time went on, people came and went, some stuck around, some left the game, and some players went elsewhere. Everyone, however, left their mark on the regiment and brought something to it. Being as competitive, active and big as we were for so long, the biggest achievement for me was its consistency in both activity and atmosphere. This space we created was something to look forward to joining every night and we had fun- it was a real rock for me and a lot of people especially in times where you did need that escapism. This community provided that and even after we stop playing this game; that will continue.

 A lot of people put a lot of effort into the maintenance and running of the regiment and throughout that time we had wanted to be competitive- we were always among the top regiments and we did finally managed to achieve that by finally winning the cavalry league last year. Playing other regiments had always been the strangest but most rewarding experiences to have on this game. Close matches gave us that intensity- the happiness of winning and the anger of losing -which always meant we were trying to win and better how we played individually and as a team. Even as we got older and cared less and less there would always be an occasional match where the switch flicked and we found the fire that made the game so nerve-racking. Biggest take-away from that though was the relationship we had with other communities. That’s really what made the game. Regiments like the 4e, 9e, Nr6, Nr4, 1er, 2Lr, 7e, 6e, 5e, and the heavies brought competition and some of the people in different communities (mainly our bond with the 4e) have become great friends we will keep going forward.

 Maintaining the 8th always depended on a group of people to rely on. When I wasn’t there or when attendance was low we always had a core group of people to rely on the whole time. I cannot thank the team we had enough for that. The leadership of Stannis, Aless and Andros in the running of events, the undying commitment of Sebi, Lightning and Quack, the humour and trolling of Tom Freyr and Krishna, the raw skill of Tim, Shadey and Stefan and the Nr4 guys of Felix and Octa, the charm of the Italians Frank and Picco, the overwhelming presence of all the Spaniards, the joy brought to the ts whenever Baxter, Rastignac or Harford joins and a lot more brought by a lot of people I haven’t mentioned. That’s what ultimately made the 8th what it is and something I will always be proud of.

 Right now and for the future, we have a community discord so we can stay in touch and we are still a community playing games together all the time. I was only going to disband on that condition: that we would stay as a community. Mainly because we have spent all this time building this it would be a shame not to keep it going as to not surpass the game. But as it stands, we have and we will continue to do so. So in summary, the best regiment has now gone, 4e is shite and the game has now died but we still best friends for life.


Much Love xx

[Octanidas]

I fully enjoyed my time in this regiment. Unfortunately it was only for about six months.

But every Event with this group of crazy, but talented, but still very crazy guys brought a lot of fun and was worth attending.

I will not only remember this regiment for its great community of like-minded people from all over europe, but also for a place where i could unfold my Mount & Blade Gameplay in a competitive team to enjoy the (seemingly) last period of this awesome game in the best possible way.

Considering all this, i am proud that i was a member of the 8th and that i am still connected to its community by our bond, which includes more than just Mount & Blade.

*wishing off tears of joy*
