11-22-2003: GNU GNUS

Welcome to all of our latest new members. Make them feel like family (you know, serve them dinner the first night, then next time say, "What? stfu, you know where the fridge is!").

Having difficulties getting the new board working. All the data in the Dbase referred or pointed back to the old board, so I had to manually edit the Dbase (130 Mb of data by HAND) to make all links refer to the new host site as well as changing the Dbase name and server name. Also, since the new board is a clone of the old one, I didn't have admin access to it - so I hacked admin access out of it for myself. Now I have to re-install the edited Dbase and see if all my fixes work. Hopefully the fixed Dbase will be enough and I won't need all the files from the old board to make everything run right. Cross your fingers.

That's what I've been up to, more news to come as it happens.

11-20-2003: LATEST POOP

New members inc! A bunch of new as well as old familiar faces are being ae tagged left and right as part of a merger agreement, once they're all in and up to speed we'll open regular ae applications again.

New website location ready to go on our new server. New message board has been installed there as well. Waiting for the current message board to get backed up and the Dbase for it sent to me so I can install it to the new board - it will be a mirror image of the current board. Afterwards I'll wipe the memberlist so we can start afresh, and then we'll have all members go and sign up with new passwords. After that's done we'll go live with the new site, shut down the old board, and make this site an auto-redirect to the new site.

How many times did I say new? ;)   No matter, we're still the same old RoA you know and love.
Needle head too

Decided to give Fennin Ro the Tyrant of Fire event a shot. Spawned him without a hitch:

Yes, that is the best "farm" reference I could come up with on short notice. Sue me, it's a patch day. Vex Thal has been completely farmed by Realm of Ages. There are even rumours of us letting our twinks pull while we clear the entire zone on a weeknight!

Talisman of Vah Kerrath Congratulations on your new neck: Lidokidz, Laleini, Skyll, Grusuum, Huevos, Bortas, Darby, and Kinolen.

Congratulations also are due to everyone else that received upgrades over the past month from the bushels (another blatant farm reference) of loot we have received from this zone. Well deserved!

When not in VT, we've been plugging away at some Planes of Power kills and retros when possible, which resulted in a couple new shots for us. Agnarr and Saryrn down.
Agnarr the Storm Lord - dead.
Stormriders Gauntlets Congratulations Syrch!
Orb of Thunderous Spirits Congratulations Mixien!
Saryrn down.
Gratuitous cleavage shot! Too bad the loot wasn't even worth the harddrive space to take screenshots.

02-03-2003: WTF ARE THE UPDATES?!

If I had a nickel for everytime someone asked me this, well.. I would have a couple of nickels. The truth of the matter is that I believe even after all these years, and all that we have been through, there are still many Nome haters among us. These oppressors do not like to see us in the headlines for such a length of time, especially one that displays the girth common to our race. Stay strong Nomish brothers and sisters.. power to the people!

 

Why did it take so long for a new update you ask? One reason: we here at RoA were hard at work trying to complete a goal, and I wasn't about to belittle the enormous efforts of our entire squad with some half-assed update. That being said, I give you this:

 
Bye bye!
Wave bye-bye to RoA Mr. Emperor!
Emperor down!
Thats right, Emperor Ssraeshza down to the hands of Realm of Ages. Fourth guild on Fennin Ro to complete this task. BIG grats to everyone that worked so hard to make this goal a reality for us.
The Sword of Ssraeshza Congratulations Kahntun!
Envenomed Moccasins Congratulations Kinsawt!
Gebron's Demented Cloak Congratulations Erikain!
To get to the Emperor we had to go through this guy:
Blood of Ssraeshza down.
He gave us some junk too.
Ssraeshzaen Blood Cord Congratulations Ezathule and Hoppenin!
Ssraeshzaen Honor Guard Bracer Congratulations Lidokidz and Cirra!
Imperial Symbol of the Shissar Congratulations Braez and Lyriana!
After such a big fight for us, we decided a little NToV clearing would be a nice cool-down raid for us.

So after a couple hours of this:
Drakes!
we got this:
Hey I remember you!
which ended in this:
Vulak`Aerr down!
 

That officially closes the book on Velious for us. Grats all on the great work!
Mrylokar's Dagger of Vengeance Congratulations Hapo!
Solist's Earring of Insight Congratulations Immudin!
Do`Vassir's Gauntlets of Might Congratulations Trolbiterr!
Yakatizma's Shield of Crafting Congratulations Gamadar!

Also got a couple Ancient Spells out of the deal as well.

 

Other noteworthy kills include:

Grummus ( Twice)
Fetid Flesh Wristband to Phedrus and Scrozy

Overlord Banford Puffy
Soft Tooled Gloves to Arondale

Burrower Beast
Ring of Living Ore to Oliudyen

11-04-2002: WE DO STUFF I SWEAR

Since the release of Planes of Power, most of us here at RoA have been busy exploring, levelling, killing new things that needed to be killed, and getting flagged for new zones.

Between all of this, we have also been playing around in Ssra, clearing ST, killing THO, Tormax, Statue, Yeli, NToV etc. etc.. Since the last update, the loot list got pretty long so I think I shall heed the sage advice of a certain assling:

Whole lotta crap dropped. Grats to those that received said crap!

Ok ok, will give you a couple pics:

=

Also, warm welcome to RoA for all of those new members that have joined our ranks since I last did a "welcome new member" update: Sirok, Rulbin, Kinolen, Feydie, Aarsevin, Lolthan, Erikain, Liljon, Blanck, Fronimanator, and last but least Peppip.

-Shnotz

10-02-2002: REVENGE IS OURS AGAINST THE EVIL PATCHMONSTER

Went back to Sleeper's Tomb after the server reset to finish what we started:

Kildukuan down.
Gate strat

New ST Warders officially cleared. Our top secret strats included slamming the gate on the beast similar to what Luke Skywalker did to that thing in Jabba's lair.

Bracchium Secundae Grats Miinxx!
Fedora Secundae Grats Bletar!
Gloves of Rot Grats rot!
Besmirched Mask Grats Gospel & Liringlas!

You saw it right, the first 2 Illusion: Dorf masks on Fennin.

After:
Gospel
DORF

After:
Ling

Don't worry, Gospel is still short and Liringlas is still a flaming mangina. Ling the Shim taunted me for days to post these photos.

A few other things died after the last update as well.

Jorlleag Earring to Shaal, Helmet to Falinx.

I do believe we also killed a Yelinak, an Itraer Vius, and a Dain as well. Grats all.

-Shnotz

09-27-2002: PATCH DAY BIGTIME FUN

Started out the day in Plane of h8 for our favorite gnomish mage (ok, our only one) Bletar.. killed Magi P'Tasa to complete his miniature skittle machine.

We then picked up the pace a bit and cleared ST of its named. This was before a GM came and flipped the ST revamp switch- omgZ Fennin Last™! Grats on Primal Warswords to Gladerunner and Dyfrin, and Primal Bow to Kinsawt.

We then moved to Kael, for our first attempt at King Tormax. Results as follows:

Tmax dirtnap.
Ring of Lightning to Katseye, White Dragonscale Sash to Leiopia and Alluwen, ST Key shard thingy to Ampakus. This was the only position Tormax could find to reach low enough to give me head for White Dragonscale Boots. Great job all!

Since we were in the area, we killed Vindicator real quick (Boots to someone that I am sure deserved them) but no Statue was up, so we ran to Icewell. Downed Dain IV again for a Belt to Delmacio.

At that time we decided we should pay a visit to the "New & Improved, As Seen on Stormhammer" revamped Sleeper's Tomb. It ended up getting real late in there, and I was jacked up on codein, fresh from a wisdom tooth removal, so i will cut to the chase. First on Fennin kills:

Tjudawos
Vyskudra
Zeixshi-Kar
Kildrikaun

The new 4th warder, Kildrukuan the Ancient we got to 6% right as VI pulled the plug to perform their mandatory Patch the Patch Patch. Next time. First on Fennin lewtz:

Grats Suporma!
Grats Kahntun!
Grats Dekcan!
Grats Decatur!
Grats Huevos!
Grats Invite!
Grats Trolbiterr!
Grats Zethras the necro!

 

Leet SMR.
Zethras on the catwalk with his new SMR..

 

Also since last update, Aaryonar and some other NToV Dragons died.
Roy dead again.

-Shnotz

09-20-2002: Bi-Annual Update

To start things out, we had an RoA first.. 23 members attempted The Statue of Rallos Zek for our very first shot at this guy and prevailed.

Statue dead.

Not sure why we haven't smoked this guy before, but he died nonetheless.

BP of Eradication Grats Dreadbringer!
Cloak of Falling Stars Grats Hapo!
Iron Scroll of War Grats Miinxx!

Our little playground known as Veeshan's Peak was cleared as well, in record time.

Phara Dar dead.

Not the best loot this zone has given us, but notable drops included:

Robe of the Azure Sky Grats Katseye!
Grey Suede Boots Grats Toobuku!
Shield of Elders Grats Aertes!


 
Other things recently dead to our hands include this looker: Cazic Tool

Brains! Grats Grusuum!
Bile Etched Obsidian Choker Grats Zenlan & Huevos!
Robe of Inspiration Grats Dakart!

Rumblecrush
Sorry, you gots to die too.. as well as your little friend Doomshade.
Calamity's End to Ampakus, Ring of Ages to Merasi, Grand Shield of Faith to Jaldadar. Shadow Heart to Cirra, Crystal Enervated Armband to Blurem, Rod of Virtue to Scrozy.


Dain.. More Dain. Yawn.
I think we've been killing Mr. Beltgiver IV at least twice a day for the last month. Who wouldn't come back for free head?
Belt of Dorf Slaying Belts to: Nilarie, Witticus, Sargman, Mrovrnite, Azorethik, Gladerunner, Trolbiterr, Lidokidz, and Rhon. My apologies to the 8 others i missed.

In between all that, we had a couple Lendi's which resulted in ST keys for Jaldadar and Armety, as well as Ring to Ezathule, Boots to Dekcan, Helmet to Cheeb, and a couple Mauls to my lootwhore familiar. Lendiniara teh Keeper
Progenit0r
NON-STOP ST ACTION!!
<< This guy and his friends died a couple times too. However, results are highly classified. What a tease!

Let's see.. what else? Grats to a few on reaching level 60 (ie. slackers): Miinxx, Southside and Leiopia. Also big grats to those obtaining your epics: Mixien, Leio, Stumpye, Braez, Liringlas.

Finally: Welcome new members Camz and Ezathule to RoA !

04-26-2002: The Night of Suck - To steal a topic from my favorite EQ webpage (LoS), the night started off shitty, and got worse. Fred park resulted in adds... including SW. Try again, gets worse. Cleaned up my own act and started moving again, and it seemed like the zone screwed us... see invisers everywhere, and their respawns where more seeinvisers. Can I come to VP? Sure, join the suck, can't get worse! Anyways, got a few decent drops... PE Hammer (Grusuum), Green Scale (TBA), Rend Robe (Snomandi) and 3x Shrouds (Yngwie/Curian/Amadalia). Grats PoD on bard lute, scimi of lifestealing, sword of rile, blade of falling stars... yadda yadda. Let us never speak of the night of suck again. Thank you

- Bortas

03-04-2002: Telk/Gozz, Dain - Telk dropped Pally Sword (Merasi) and Necklace (Zethras, I think). Gozz dropped Bracelet (Snomandi) and Cloak (Bortas).

- Bortas

03-02-2002: Sontalek, Dings, Epics - Bortas once again crying ISP problems. Sontalek down again, grats Gospel on ST key. We got two new level 60 wizards, grats Yngwie and Dakart. Grats Salaminz on his Mage epic.

Gave a shot at Aaryonar, got spanked (75%)... at least we learned what not to do. Got word from some campatriots that Terror, Draco and Cazic were up, moved onto them. Terror dropped shield (Zethras). Draco dropped bracer (Zakk) and CRoA (guildfund). The Cazic fight was the best fight I've seen us do, in that the MT survived for the longest of any 'boss' type fight, and the switchover when dead was fairly smooth. The only thing bad was positioning, but we pulled that out. Good job guys!. The rewards: Robe of Inspiration (Shnotz) and Brain of Cazic-Thule (Medazoa). Made a quick run through Chardok Royals, King Note to Arizen and Queen Blade to Ravik, completing his epic. Grats!

Dropped Boots of the Vindicator (Shaal) and head for Gloves of Earthcrafting (Witticus). Congrats to Zahib and Mixien on 60, Muglugg and Teggan on epics.

- Bortas

01-28-2002: First Brood Dragon - We were in the midst of ToV farming (Grats Trolbiterr on plate bp), when a guildy got pasted by Sontalek. After a little debate, we decided to make a play for it. None in our midst had organized such a killing, and few had even participated in one. We organized, buff the best we could, came up with a plan, and executed it. Our attemp ended in failure, last member dying with no visable life left on Sontalek. Nonplussed, we rezed and buffed again, and put to work the knowledge we had gained from our first attempt. We altered our plan, and engaged him again, this time with success, and losing about 1/3 of our raiding force. This was our first kill of a First Brood, but beyond that, it was our first attempt at one. I'm looking forward to fighting him again, and further refining our methods. Congrats to Degor on the key talismen. Members, here is the thread.

That is all the list I have, I know there was a ton more, but no details. This raid brings Arondale and Grahmpa extremely close to finishing their epics. Cognrats!

4-18-2001: Venril Slain, v3.0 - I had the opportunity to login from work and attend my first VS raid. Was pretty intresting, mostly RoA folks, with a ton of handy invites. Loot was Cobalt Greaves (Toshido, RoA), Nightshade Scented Staff (Repents, NW) and the Wiz epic staff (Snomandi, RoA). The only regret is that there was not enough of his loot to spread around to all the invites. Congrats Tosh, on RoA's first pair of greaves, and everyone else on a fun raid.

3-14-2001: Plane of Hate - Well, we ported up to find almost the entire first floor cleared, and much of the second floor (including new spawns). We did get a few mage drops, and had a good time exploring the new area and whacking new servants of Inny.

- Bortas

3-12-2001: Venril Sathir Vanquished - Due to a server outage, we managed our first shot at VS. First try was a wipeout, second try was no deaths. Loot was a disappointing two stones, and two necro staffs. Regardless it was very cool to get our first shot at him.

We managed to mobilize and engage in under five minutes of sighting, a great improvement in our response time. Yay team!

- Bortas

2-26-2001: Plane of Fear Raid - We took advantage of the server outage and made off with fear. Great druid drops tonight, a full suit minus helm. Cazic dropped little, as usual, including his box, Amulet of Necropotence (congrats Kahntun), and Cazic skin for wiz epic (congrats Amadalia).

- Bortas

2-25-2001: Plane of Sky Raid - Great weekend in sky, everyone. We made it to (but did not clear) Isle 7, much further than we have been before. Many, many quest components were collected, looks as if a few got their final item this raid. Some nice drops included three Treant Tears as well as a few class specific haste belts, like Belt of the Pine. Faolan was lucky enough to complete a quest for the Honeycomb Belt, one of the few on the server. Congrats!

2-18-2001: Feydedar Slain - "FEYDEDAR IS UP!" was heard in guildchat from Haplon. RoA formed as fast as they could then proceeded to engage the lizard. All but the mighty Kahntun (who was forced to Feign Death) were slain. Feydedar entered his death crawl shortly thereafter, due to an NPC attacking it. Kahntun stood up and reengaged the beast, to slay the monster at last. Drops were 4 spells, crappy Crystalline Spear and two Shields of the Water Dragon.
