We have updated our Guild Policy for Torment of Velious.
Many thanks to Satoshi for getting out there and working them streets! For the first time in many expansions we got to see him leave the Guild Lobby. He even got himself a new title. Very Fitting if you ask me.
Torment of Velious was more or less a reprieve from the difficulty of previous expansions, easier content, double the loot! Hooray! However, It was not without its challenges… but something tells me most of the challenges were self inflicted though….
Notably though we did get to see the return of a much grumpier Avatar of War, which was a nice throwback to Velious!
Tier 1 & Tier 3 went down with relative ease, and not having progression meant we could bounce around how we wanted! But at some point we had to jump into Tier 2: Tower of Frozen Shadow.
Last up was our very own EQ Vtuber, and Remmen’s Waifu, Tserrina.
With Tserinna defeated we succesfully completed our last TLP Expansion and cemented OGC as the first and only TLP Guild to clear all content in era and make it to Live. I hope you are all very proud!
A more holistic definition of a legacy is when you are genuinely grounded in offering yourself to making a meaningful, lasting and energizing contribution to humanity by serving a cause greater than your own. The requirements of a legacy are that you embrace your uniqueness, passionately immersing your whole self into life so that your gift will be to all and that you take responsibility to ensure that it will have a life beyond that of you, its creator, outliving and outlasting your time on earth.
Mearatas has been defeated!
It is truly humbling, and goes without saying that we have stamped our legacy into the over a decade of TLP’s in Everquest, and TBL was no different. It was grueling, challenging, and at times unpleasant… but I do not wish to make this a long winded update, or boast about our achievements of past and present.
I simply want to acknowledge the fact that every single one of you that has been a part of OGC in the past, as well as our current member base have contributed to the success of this guild and it’s legacy. A heartfelt thank you as well to those that supported us in this accomplishment. We will not forget it. I cannot wait to see what the future holds, and with that, we press on! See you all in Torment of Velious!
Damn, 2020 has been a year… We have been welcoming back some past members, and bidding a farewell to some old. Hell, some of us were even in Fiji for launch! Despite everything, we pressed on here at the OGC, and cleared Ring of Scale in a matter of weeks.
FLAWLESSELY OF COURSE!
With Skyfire out of the way, It was time to head into the heart of Howling Stones, and take on the Sathir’s Tomb.
Drusella’s Vault in Sathir’s Tomb gave us a bit of a challenge, and was alot of fun to learn, unless you were a tank… RIP Tanks…
Tank deaths aside, it was onward to Venril Sathir, but he did not last long either…
Drusella, Rile, and Venril Sathir certainly put up a good fight but we turned their bones to ash with ease. There was no time to waste though, it was late, and we had Dragons to kill!
First Up: Hoshkar!
It only took us 30 minutes to figure out how to beat the Hoshkar Event after killing the dragon in the first 5. Feelsgoodman. Silverwing & Xygoz were no pushovers either!
Three dragons down, all that stood in our way now was one super racist Dragon. It was time to slay Terrorem… I mean Talendor.
Unfortunately this fight was an absolute joke for a final event in the expansion, So with little to no effort… Ring of Scale was defeated! Good job Team!
ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz. Oh?! Hello! Greetings Travelers, I fell asleep waiting for Tier 3 to unlock, did we win? WE DID?! Welcome to forced progression my friends, do not pass go, do not collect $200.. for the first time in ages, everyone in the guild had to follow progression because someone thought it would be a good idea to add zone wide AE’s again… did we not learn from Anguish? a big thanks to our planning committe and resident sneakyboi Froogle for stepping up and pushing through for night one raids!
We are recruiting! Check out our forums here for more information! We are looking for people who are interested in late game expansions and progressing to live! If you want to check it out, heroic characters are now a thing here on Phinigel! Not only that, so are Heroic Adventures! Come join us, we’d love to have you. It’s a great time to get back into it with the nice AA boost from Empires of Kunark!
After hard carrying the Godfather, er I mean… initial push. It was time to raid! first up was Gorenaire, who some how survived after killing her back in Kunark, followed shortly after by the Goblin lords in Droga! to be honest, these raids were snore fests, but very easily taken down.
Tier 2: Royalty High! With tier one out of the way and an obligatory 1 week waiting period because the GM’s do not love us any more, it was off to Chardok to complete tier 2! we were walking into uncharted territory as we did not test much of this content. but we worked together and came out on top!
Still with me? Good! 3 weeks into the expansion is was finally time to take on Atrebe, and the green bois! sure as shit was a slap in the face compared to content clearing we are used to, we did not 1 shot everything.. gasp… as always though In typical OGC fashion we still downed it and beat the expansion in a single run, but damn was it a test of endurance. Event 1 alone took 37 minutes! Sheesh
As with all new expansion launches there is always a few nut jobs out there pushing the line, grinding it out along side some guild shenanigans. Our hunter raids, and AA count are no exception. I don’t know how you do it but i appreciate you for it! +1
Trying to summon the last named in scorched woods be like..
Got AA’s Bro?
Let’s not forget our unspoken guild mini game of moving the port stone daily… you fucking heathens… I blame Catashe, and let’s not forget Airez who mailed it back Twice!
All in all Empires of Kunark has been one of the most fun expansions to date! Good job everyone who participated. I hope you have a happy Holiday. I’ll see you all in Ring of Scale!
