Original Gangster Club

Well well well…if it isn’t the consequences on my own actions.  I’ve been slacking on updates for a while, so now I have a lot to cover.  Where were we last time?  Phini merged in to Vox and we were looking forward to making some new friends?  *scrolls down to check* yup that’s about right.

So how’s that been going for us?  Great!  We stepped into the boardroom with our best business suites on and closed a few deals.

I want to formally welcome all of the Panda folks who are now officially in OGC!

With that big announcement out of the way let’s talk about what kind of things we’ve been killing.

How did ToL as a whole go for us?

We have a lot of struggles early in ToL due low numbers, with the addition of more people we finished out ToL strong with every event on farm, we even did all the cheevos folks!  (You can come back now Rencor…)

Does Terror of Luclin have a yelp review page?  If so I’d like to leave the following review.  

“There were some enjoyable events (Free the Goranga, AHR, Doomshade), but unfortunately they threw some real turds in there with Zelnithak, Primal Vampire, and Oubliette …can we stop with regular interval stuns and stupid shadow steps?  Let’s just give that a rest for the next…FOREVER.”

2.5 out of 5 stars

Enough about ToL, let’s talk NoS

…Night of Shadows?  Did we buy an expansion or an emo album?

We officially beat all NoS raids and are on farm mode!  Not sure I’m a big fan of specified tradeskill slots dropping rather than ores that you can convert into whichever item you like, but if the goal was to make me emo about the lack of weapon and BP ores dropping, mission successful.

We got an evolving cloak this expansion which is nice, it’s good to see folks out there doing something past the first two weeks of launch.

How about them raids?  We’ve had a blast on the NoS raids. Let’s talk about the Under Siege raid for a sec, this raid that has all the right stuff. I mean we got adds that can be killed with mez, we got an active tanking situation, the whole raid is doing stuff…AND a compliance emote that doesn’t reset the whole damn event.  Take note devs, this is what failing an emote SHOULD do in this game.  Look, you have 3 possible outcomes 1. You comply with the emote and go back to what you were doing with no real impact.  2. You don’t comply, die from the DoT, and we all laugh at you.  3. You get healed through the emote and fail – and the boss heals a little bit.  The raid is only a little upset with you, and some of the necros slip you a krono for padding their parse.  What more could you ask for?

Next stop Vanquisher! (Rencor, this is your chance…don’t miss out)

Anyways let’s just get to the screen shots

NoS Raids

The Fun Stuff

They say you should never judge a book by it’s cover, but I think they were wrong… He can apply back but we’ll need an apology video attached to his application.

Nubbins from nibbles…

Fatherhood announcements always get a mixed bag of replies..

FashionQuest

Other stuff

Terror of Luclin raids are finally here!  By the way did that whole LUCK-LIN / LOOSE-LIN debate ever get settled? Also apparently there is an entire Akhevan language out there, so if you’ve ever wanted to discuss this long lost language that no one cares about or wants to hear about in the middle of raids….now is your chance to impress the women of Norrath with that big brain of yours.

P.S. DPG if you’re looking for a creative writer to help sell your next expansion, I’m available. Head shot and credentials below.

Moving on… As a TLP guild that made it to live we were excited to hit fresh content, and guess what we found?  That’s right, more goddamn time locked progression.  Like a seductive mistress, the EQ development team has teased our desire for progression by allowing us to only use the T1P (see what I did there?). 

To the developers credit it’s been real nice having 3 separate raid targets in one zone that aren’t required to be killed sequentially, for once we can spend more killing raid targets than we do killing expeditions.

Anyways we have T1 of ToL on lock down and have been spending our additional free time catching some of our new/returning members up on old cheevos, you’re welcome KeLvaEn….

In other news server merges have been announced and Phinigel will be merging into the Vox server.  What does this mean for us?  Great things!  New friends, open raids, and a thriving economy to name a few.  If I’m being honest it will be nice to see someone besides Dima talking in general chat. 

This would also be a great time to mention that we are recruiting! We’ve got the best corporate benefits here at the club folks…get those applications in and join us as we embark on a new adventures on Vox.

Also we can officially dispense with back on Fippy, and replace it with back on Phini. We can reminisce about our time on Phini with things like “Remember back on Phini when Madman and Duprix used to engage in a calm and respectful manner about the finer points of playing a Shadow Knight?”

Anyways let’s get to the good stuff…

Our guild meetings are always professional

Warriors Unite!

The lore in this expansion is lacking and the only cure is more Mayong…..

Remember that time Dima thought there was a Rumblecrush raid in ToL?

Do the AP they said…it will be fun they said….
