The wait is finally over. During these past years, our truly loyal fan-base has grown more and more. We have steadily monitored the feedback from our fans and thought that it was about time to give something back to you:

Ensidia and For the Horde are proud to announce the beta of Manaflask.com, a new World of Warcraft portal featuring free professional level content produced by the top World of Warcraft players from both guilds, social networking features, live streams and a range of unique tools and gadgets designed to enhance your everyday WoW experience which will be added in the future. More details on our first creation will be coming soon. All our content will be available in German and English (except for user blogs and live streams, obviously).

Ensidia and For the Horde are not merging, changing their name, or anything like that, but the place they chose to share their knowledge and experiences is the Manaflask project.

If you've already registered an account at Ensidia.com before August  1st 2010, you'll be able to use it on Manaflask.com as well. If not, simply register, it's free.

Here's what the men behind Manaflask have to say about the project.

 

Mark 'Nessaj' Laursen

Manaflask is an attempt to combine key factors of MMO gaming and social networking together and form a centralized hub for the scattered communities out there. Manaflask, the website, is the first step towards our goal, to interactively bring together amazing communities on a global level.

We have a wide range of ideas on how to achieve that goal, and what you see today is the foundation, but we have plans for much, much more and we can't wait to tell you everything about our first creation, very soon.

Hans Christian 'liQ' Duerr

I joined the whole project back in the days when our players were accomplishing amazing PvE achievements under the flag of Nihilum. The loyalty of the community built around our players has always fascinated me, and so Nessaj and myself began to forge new plans on how to integrate our fans even more into the project and give them the ability to truly feel like they're a real part of the whole.

We succeeded in doing so with the foundation of Ensidia, together with the top players from ex. SK-Gamin WoW PvE. The feedback and regular flow of users visiting our site, posting blogs and taking part in forum discussions was far beyond our expectations.

Having watched For the Horde's progress over the years and their outstanding performances at live events, combined with their producing high-class content, such as top-notch video guides, we felt that it was time to combine both guildsstrenghts and create a place for the community which will  deliver more content, more features and more possibilities to get in touch with your favourite WoW players than any of our former projects could offer.

With the addition of a German version of our website at launch, we want to address the huge fanbase of German speaking For the Horde and Ensidia  community members and have them  join our portal and experience our content in their native language.

I hope you'll enjoy our latest project which will constantly be improved with new features and additions.

Mike 'Tyrania' Hillen

Manaflask is the progressive development of a vision. For almost a year we've been  sharing our thoughts with the guys at Ensidia, to combine almost everything a WoW gamer needs into one collective portal. We can finally bring this idea to life and you can be really excited about what we're going to offer within the next weeks and months. I'm happy to be working with this cool team to bring you everything you can imagine.
 

Thomas 'Kungen' Bengtsson (Ensidia)

We came to the conclusion that we were trying too much with our website as a guild, and now Ensidia is going to focus solely on being a PVE guild. Instead of running our own little community website we will join in on an international level venture, together with For the Horde and "brew" together on Manaflask.com

Sharing is a choice not an imperative, not all members will be vocal because they simply want to just play the game.

Stefan 'Buschii' Willmes (For the Horde)

A lot of members of For the Horde are highly motivated to produce guides, videos, blogs and more for the community. With Manaflask, we were finally able to create a portal on which our content can be presented the right way.

It is very important to me, that For the Horde keeps existing the way you all know it. We're not going to merge with Ensidia as a PvE guild, but we're working together in one place for the community. Everything else remains untouched.
