Throwback hello

[Lyrix_]

Hey Kuro. You're that rogue with the high dkp figure, right? I bet if I looked you still have over 3,000,000 saved up. Hope all is well. =)

Hey Kuro :-)
I was only talking about you the other day, were your ears burning? /adjusts halo.
I was only saying good things of course P

I am finding that it is so much better these days. More relaxed, no drama, steady flow of recruits and still a kick ass raid force.
The win we pulled out on Saturday night was typical of the attitude atm, could have wiped but pulled through and got a first kill.
Hh

I remember all of that as well. =) I came back earlier this year from an 8 year break. I did see Kuroi on a few months ago. The guild started raiding again a few months ago. We are slowly building back up. We only raid 2 nights a week now. You should come hang out with us!

Kuro!!!!!! I got so excited seeing your name on the forum!

The others have given you the latest and greatest on the guild already so I'll just limit my post to saying you should come back and play with us again!

I have been back about 10 weeks or so now?
So to summarise some of the changes that have stood out for me:
Merc's are a game changer. No matter what class you are you can Molo ( merc + solo ) if you cant find a group etc, or you can use mercs to round out the group. If someone logs on you can drop a merc to make room. Several types available - tank, cleric, melee dps, magic dps. Many people have a cleric as one of their options for rezzes and buffs. You can buy a 2nd or 3rd slot etc on the store but can have only one merc out at once, but you can switch between them as needed. If you multi-box then each account can also bring along a merc so for 3 accounts you can have a well rounded group filling all 6 slots.
Daily hotzone tasks from Franklin Teek in PoK
Each task requires you to kill 5 of a specific type of mob in the specific hotzone for that level and gives xp based on the level of the hotzone, and which mobs are given each day varies randomly. So for example Old Bloodfields ( 85 hotzone ) may require 5 Nocs or 5 Kyvs or 5 Dragorns.
I actually find it is rare that I use lesson now, as I try to fit in the daily's first. I believe Kuro is now lvl 97. so you would want to do the 85, 90 and alternate 90 dailys for a silly amount of xp.

AA's.
The number of AA's available now is huge. There are so many nice ones too. Saw one guildie hit 12000 AA's the other day and if you are below 4500 then you get an xp boost as you are rated as below the curve. I came back at lvl 80 with 1182 aa's and am now lvl 94 with 2262 aa's so have gained 1100 aa's in 10 weeks whilst levelling. A lvl 90 daily will give me 4% xp or 42 aa's atm but will obviously give less as I approach the curve. I need it though, to get most of the useful AA's will put me around 6k minimum, and some say 8k.

Seeing some of those AA's in action from other classes does make you go 'holy sh*t' the first time you see some of the stuff they can pull off now.

The other big change is in attitudes, so many people have helped me out, whether making sure I get my xp or giving me gear etc etc, and many of them were complete strangers b4 I returned. You can understand old friends going out of their way to help but it's been so much more than that. I was talking to Souixxe about it and its down to a 'pay it forward' mentality. Whatever you want to call it, it's nice to see.

One other thing : I played so many other games over the last 4 years and nothing, but nothing compares with that first kill moment.

Lol well Sarg had a long period of being unavailable and I was deputising for him like I did for you, so one night whilst I was asleep at the keyboard ( never happened before honest ) the other officers discussed it and bushwacked me and asked me to share the leadership with Sarg when I woke up, and once the GM's got their act together from that point we had 2 guild leaders.
When I quit about 5 months later it was Veanda I handed it to.

So in the 4 1/2 years I was here it went :
Falthorn ( quit 2 weeks after I apped )
Denya
Rylaar
Kuroiokami
Sargtlin
Sargtlin and Wulff ( I had mainchanged to the SK at that point )
Sargtlin and Veanda

not sure after that tbh

Sarg is still playing and still in the guild, so if you return we would have 5 consecutive GL's back hehe
