Hey, everyone! I wanted to talk about bringing GTA Online in TAW. I recently started playing it again. I had account on PS3 back in 2014-2016 (level 91) and now I started again on PC with another member from RS division. So I got amazed about the new (at least for me) stuff they brought in. Like MCs, Businesses, CREW(this one has been there since day 1 but still), Nightclubs and some other features. So You choose to be either an MC member or CEO or any other businesses. I myself haven't tried CEO part but I can see so many people as CEO in whichever server I'm in. My attention went straight to MC (childhood dream y'know) and we started an MC with the other member. And we thought IF this game comes to TAW we gotta expand the business. So We already grinded (8 hours yesterday for example) and right now we got Counterfeit Cash Factory and a Cocaine Lab(which has the highest income due to the internet) also we are planning to buy the third one already. So the features of being in an MC:
Patched members and ranks - Prospect, Enforcer, Road Captain, SGT. at ARMS, VP and finally President.
The Clubhouse - Everyone can stock their motorbikes in the clubhouse. We have a table where we sit and decide what to do - Like taking missions as clubs and stuff. The lowest money we got from those missions has been 14K per each. Also when upgraded we get: Gunlocker, Shooting Range, Motorbike workshop
Riding - The Road Captain or President can lead the club wherever they go. When one of them sets the riding formation, We get into a formation and game limits everyone's top speed depending on the leader in that ride. Also, it repairs your vehicle, gives you hp AND armor as long as you are in the formation
Businesses - As I mentioned those two businesses we already got, We run errands to get more supplies - after those errands everyone gets money except the president. Those supplies help the businesses to make the products. After they are done, it goes to President's Nightclub (which we already got lol) and we take those products to buyers to gain extra money (for example, when there was 170K product in Counterfeit Cash Factory, we sold them for 277K because we chose the risky road and my VP (mourneedarko) got around 10% of that money).
Outfit - we can choose our MC outfits and put TAW logo behind our cuts. Which would be awesome, IKR?
And the best part rival MCs - if there are other MCs in our server they will try to steal from us which will lead to cool fight between at least two MCs.
If you are interested please make sure to fill out the Vanguard Interest Form.
Some cool photos of us:
It’s time for the March On The Horizon Post. For those of you not aware of what that is, In Vanguard every month we list several games that Vanguard feels would make a great place in TAW, and we publish them in a blog. Most titles are newer but there are some older ones as well that we feel would be good in our community. Also keep in mind that these games may be the future of TAW so if you have any interest in any of these games or any others, fill out the Vanguard Interest Form please.
Rust
The only aim in Rust is to survive.
To do this you will need to overcome struggles such as hunger, thirst and cold. Build a fire. Build a shelter. Kill animals for meat. Protect yourself from other players, and kill them for meat. Create alliances with other players and form a town.
Do whatever it takes to survive.
Grand Theft Auto V
Los Santos: a sprawling sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets and fading celebrities, once the envy of the Western world, now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV.
Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a street hustler looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score. Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.
The biggest, most dynamic and most diverse open world ever created, Grand Theft Auto V blends storytelling and gameplay in new ways as players repeatedly jump in and out of the lives of the game’s three lead characters, playing all sides of the game’s interwoven story.
All the classic hallmarks of the groundbreaking series return, including incredible attention to detail and Grand Theft Auto’s darkly humorous take on modern culture, alongside a brand new and ambitious approach to open world multiplayer.
Developed by series creators Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V is available worldwide for PC, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®3, Xbox One® and Xbox 360®.

ATLAS
Vanguard would like to see this game in TAW. If you are interested in seeing Atlas in TAW please fill out the Future Games form.
If you like Ark: Survival Evolved, Blackwake, or even The Pirates Of The Caribbean movies, you’ll want to check this game out. Atlas is the ultimate survival MMO, which will host up to 40k+ simultaneous players in the same world.
It’s the definition of cooperation and conflict as you stake your claim in this endless open world, conquering territory, constructing ships, searching for that buried treasure on a desolate island, assembling forts, plundering settlements, and hiring crew. Take to the seas, as you wage war against enemy fleets, commanding large ships of war using the captaining system (or divide up the responsibility amongst trusted lieutenants). Or take control of any weapon directly with your own character.
You’ll start out building a drydock and begin with a dinghy rowboat, a basic raft, tiny sloop, or a nimble schooner. From there you’ve move on up to your own versatile brigantine or titanic galleon, capable of transporting your crew and cargo. Personalize your ship by naming her in big bold letters, give her a fresh paint job and copy your own pirate flag. Make your ship truly yours as you custom place each of the pieces on your ship, from sails to planks and gunports, each and every single structure has a physical weight and material, to function EXACTLY how you want it to. In addition, your personalization doesn’t just stop at your ship. There is an extensive character visual customization, which allows for an endless realistic and no so realistic characters. You can even “per pixel” design your own permanent tattoos.
Now for what we do best in TAW, recruit real players and AI crew from freeports, to men distinct stations aboard your ship. Yes, you’re not just resorting using all AI crew, you can have your friends as part of your crew as you pillage and plunder your way to infamy.
Whether it’s bolted down or not, everything is up for grabs when it comes to PvP. Whether it’s your opponents ships, their forts, land, or booty. If you can get your hands on it, you can take it. Each ships permanent logbook will tell the tale of their legendary travel, exploits and ownership.
There is so much available for this game, that we possibly can’t list it all. You’d be here all day reading it. But what you can do, is head on over to the Steam Site and get ready to download this game, as it becomes available December 19th of 2018. So get ready to head to the nearest port matey, and plunder like you never plundered before.
ANY MEMBER WISHING TO SEE THIS GAME COME TO TAW AND BE PART OF IT’S SPIN UP TEAM, PLEASE FILL OUT THE VANGUARD INTEREST FORM.

Eve Online
Key words:
Corporation= TAW EVE Division
Coalition= inter-clan partnership
The Eve Online Division has been making some major moves in their game! They have added 18 pilots from both the EU and NA timezones in its division. In addition, many TAW members from other divisions are helping and contributing to the corporation growth in game.
Thanks to Veridical (current Arma Division member and the Division IT director), the Division has a new EVE related website.
EVE Division Website
The corporation is now a member of the rental alliance White Wolves Enterprise which is a member of the Warped Intentions alliance. This has given the corporation blue (friendly) status with the Legacy Coalition and gives 24/7, 365 days of content vs some major opponents (Goons, Pandemic, Fraternity, just to name a few)
Although alot has been accomplished in the past 2 month, what was accomplished is only scratching the surface on the corporation capabilities. Currently the corporation is working on many goals including growing its active membership (including official division roster in order to move to Tier 2), production unit, transport unit and PVP abilities (including healer type units and finding dedicated Fleet Commanders for PVP content)
If you are a current TAW member, playing EVE and you are interested in joining the corporation in game, please talk to Avguste [EVE SUL].

Apex Legends [APL] Spin Up Meeting is slated for MAR 3rd, 2019, at 2:00 PM EST. We hope to see many of you there for the launch of this fantastic game.
The only aim in Rust is to survive.To do this you will need to overcome struggles such as hunger, thirst and cold. Build a fire. Build a shelter. Kill animals for meat. Protect yourself from other players, and kill them for meat. Create alliances with other players and form a town.
Rust is a multiplayer-only survival video game developed and published by Facepunch Studios for Microsoft Windows and macOS. First released through Steam Early Access in 2013, the game saw a full release on February 8, 2018. During the course of its five year development, the game saw several major changes to the core gameplay and other elements, notably being ported to the Unity 5 engine to improve the graphics. Rust was initially created as a clone of DayZ, a popular mod for ARMA 2, with crafting elements akin to those in Minecraft.
The objective of Rust is to survive in the wilderness using gathered or stolen materials. Players must successfully manage their hunger, thirst, and health, or risk dying. Despite the looming threat of dangerous wildlife (initially zombies), the primary menace is other players due to the game being solely multiplayer. Combat is accomplished through firearms and primitive weapons, such as bows. In addition, vehicles controlled by non-player characters will occasionally roam, attacking heavily-armed players. These can be defeated with persistence. Rust features crafting, which was fundamentally modified throughout development, which is initially limited until the discovery of specific items in the game's open world. To stay protected, players must build bases or join clans to improve their chance of survival. Raiding is a major aspect of Rust and is done more frequently by large clans
Hello everyone! With great pleasure I would like to announce that all weekend Runescape is having a Double xp weekend. Twice the xp rate in a game as grindy as Runescape can really make a difference in leveling up so if your having a hard time getting them levels then now is the time to play!
