Yay! I start one this week
Well it was an interesting week all round. Lots to do IRL and lots happening in EQ too.
I left "Shards of Chaos" after giving them 100% dedication at weekends, recruiting and raid-leading. Differences of opinion with some officers and members became too much, a shame really. I really like so many members in SoC, I hope to see many around in game. But it seems my association with this guild is at an end.
My old guild had seen me leave because I cannot make most raids due to RL for the next few months. However after talking to the guild it seemed that making the raids I can is enough to justify a guild-tag and so I have re-applied. I am having to serve the normal application process and hope so much that I am re-admitted to the guild. I managed to raid with them twice this week :)
Thursday (well not quite the weekend but its close) saw a series of firsts for "Forgotten Nemesis". Where a previous attempt had failed our raid forces went in and killed the Manaetic Behemoth in Plane of Innovation. A tough creature he is, but tougher is the Ranger and Wizard army that deals the burst damage
The raid then wandered on to PonB where we attempted to slay Terris thule again. The last time we tried we only had 29 members flagged for PonB to try a kill, we did not expect much of what happened on the encounter and failed at 49%. This time she died in a flawless victory. Much planar flagging completed, 2 first kills and flawless. A great day for "Forgotten Nemesis".
Sunday saw my first venture into Vex Thal with the guild. I had never been on-line in all previous ventures to Vex Thal and so although this was an old-hat adventure for many, I was happily pressing F10 and taking copius screenshots of one of the prettiest EQ zones I have seen. The raid was enjoyable with some loots gained and some great fun with the pulls . I could not help but think of the dungeon of "Dalnir" as we engaged the largest blob I have ever seen in Everquest!
We wiped after making some headway into Vex Thal and had to learn another lesson but every visit the guild pokes further in, learning how to park Coth mages and exploring the zone. I really look forward to more of this. People tell me Vex Thal is boring, I do not see it.
After we killed some Seru fellow in Sanctus Seru but that was not really interesting by comparison
