The High Order of the Dragon     

~An official Everquest™ guild website~

<July 15, 2004>

 

Well this is the new site I hope everyone enjoys it.  Been a big pain in my A*# to get it just right and it seems to be working in all the preliminary runs of it.  =)  See you all in game and will put some more news in tomorrow.

All right new site is up and running finally.  LOL  Long enough huh?  Well like everyone should know we are doing ToV the next few weekends so if you’re 50+ and don’t have the faction I suggest you work it up.  =)  See you all later.

A few notes from me, Demimetah.  Just to ensure everyone is on the same page as the rest of us this is what I am expecting from the guild.  Sundays and Mondays are guild days.  We try to do everything as we can as a guild.  If you’re in a group and something comes up in guild drop group and do guild.  So what does that mean if you’re in an LDoN adventure?  Don’t do LDoN on Sundays or Mondays…that or be prepared to gate out and apologize to group.  We are building cohesion in the guild and we’re doing great.  Still have some that don’t do what they need to for the guild though.  =)  We are almost good on ToV armor.  Probably 2 more weeks and we’ll drop down to one weekend a month of ToV for armor.  Then we’ll start hitting Luclin.  The over all plan of the guild is this.  # 1 is to get geared properly.  Be it from Kael or more preferably from ToV.  Get a good solid base of raiders with good gear.  Also expand our mains that come on raids so that we can do bigger and better at any time.  # 2 is to work in luclin, killing in Akheva, Acrylia Caverns, The Deep, Ssrazesha Temple, Grieg’s End, and Sanctus Seru.  While doing this we start pushing our way into tier one Planes of Power zones.  # 3 Start farming emp keys for Ssrazesha Temple, finishing the Seru Arx Key so we can kill Seru, and getting VT key stuff out of the way, also working into tier 2 in PoP.  After we’ve killed Emp Ssra and we are in Vex Thal, we’ll start doing more VT and working more and more in PoP.  # 4 is to start getting elemental flagged and working a lil in GoD zones…mainly still killing the named that we have been to ensure that everyone has proper gear.  It’s going to be a long process but in the end we’ll be held with much more respect then those that have a tendency of just public raiding everything and over all just not becoming the player that they could be.  But during all of this we’ll be still working up our lower new raiders through the same process we all worked through…ToV armor, luclin gear, pop gear, god gear.  =)  Most the places we’ll go to are fun zones to play in so I doubt anyone will have problems with it.  =P

 

Now…for some other side stuff that’s come up.  We’re going to start testing on a bid system for RPS.  I know we’ve stayed away from it but I’ve had a lot of people wanting it so we’ll try it.  See how it goes.  Remember to always wait for assist…watch for my commands as raid leader.  If you know that a caster that casts AoE spells keep it in a corner away from the casters.  Some things will AoE mez or charm….you need to stay away from those AoEs and do range attacks only.  If not balance the things we are fighting.  And always do your job.  Healers heal, nukers nuke, and melee beat on it with their big bad sticks.  =P  All right enough of my soap box.  Have fun!  See you in game.

My extreme apologies for not updating this faster.  Heh.  Well, we’re done with our first goal by getting better guild.  We’re very far into our second goal and into our third one.  Consider the second goal as a run on goal that we’ve already completed.  Here’s what we’ve killed thus far in the past month:  Grieg, Vindi, BoT towers, Sanctus Seru guild bosses, and other various mobs from Luclin.  Doing very well everyone.  =)  Very proud.  Here’s our goal for the next few months.  For every 6 emp keys that people get we will do one PoP flagging event.  Some of the flagging events we will do are as such:  PoS for BoT keys, Terris Thule, Aerin’Dar in PoV, Grummus, and if we get more people in guild MB in PoI.  The last 2 I don’t know if we could handle…but I know the first three we could do.  I will personally take people to PoJ to get their trials done –only- if you have your emp key. 

 

As of right now open recruiting is over.  If people come to us for a guild invite officers –must- sit down with them and discuss membership to the guild.  Family and real life friends are included on this.  Anyone can still join guild.  But we are becoming much stronger, thus we’ll have a lot more people wanting to join and that will bring greed and other problems.  Which we do not want in guild anymore since we have gotten the BS out of it.  Well see you in game.

We just had a guild meeting and all those that attended (which was everyone that wasn’t afk) got 5 raid points.  These are the things that were talked about:

 

-          Raids must start on time.  If you aren’t sure where the zone is ask someone or look for it before raid day.  People just like to sit around while afk.  Use that time wisely and look for zones you’ve never been to.

 

-          The MOTD (Message Of The Day) is found on the guild manager (Alt + G) or typing /get or /get motd.

 

-          Respecting everyone is a hot concern again.  Blatant disrespect to anyone, especially officers and leaders, will no longer be tolerated.  If you do you will lose raid points.  If you continue disrespecting people in and out of guild you will be removed from guild.  Chelle and I do look into the issues closely and make decisions from there.

 

-          I am going to Iraq for 4 months in May.  Chellebelle and the other officers will be running guild.  Give them full support.

 

-          Listen to raid instructions during raids.  We can play for fun or play for business.  It’s up to you.

 

-          If you don’t know how to make an assist key, a second window to see all raid text and channel text and guild text, ask someone.

 

-          Do not ignore guild.  If someone asks something in guild respond.  Even if it’s to LFG’s and questions. 

 

-          Make more guild groups.  Ask in guild first then go to outside sources.  Work on Vex Thal shards heavily!

 

-          Here is the Vex Thal quest.  http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=2000

 

-          Shout if you are bringing a train to zone.  If you get trained then ask them to stop.  If they continue report them, petition them, and let us know who it is and what guild they are in.  If they are anonymous, type /guildstat #name where #name is the character’s name

 

If you have any other questions or concerns then just bring them up to me or Chelle or any other officers.  It will be taken care of.  Also on a side note, congratulate Kroakinfrog and Patriciaus on becoming officers.  =)  I will also be trying to get a message board up and running to be able to set up shard farming, emp key farming, and groups.

Over the past 3 weeks we have been joint raiding with Awakened Fires.  It has been going pretty decently.  We’ve killed Manatic Behemoth in Plane of Innovation, Cursed Cycle, and some NPC’s in Noble’s Causeway.  Hopefully this will continue to be a good venture for both our guilds.  The chat channel for this is jointraid so please /autojoin jointraid when you can.  =)

 

We have also had a lot of problems with me losing the epic list and people wanting to do their epics.  I think we will have to look into trying to revamp the epic process so we can continue to raid in planes and work on Vex Thal at the same time.  I am up for any ideas.

 

Also another problem I have noticed is that people have been harassing others in /ooc and /shout.  Do not do this.  It looks bad on you and the guild at the same time.  So please, if you have problems with someone just blow off steam in guild chat and if it’s bad enough send me a tell or an officer and we will take care of it through respectable and honorable means.

 

We also have a message board running.  The link for the message board is http://p097.ezboard.com/bhighorderofthedragon.
