First Guild?

Torakus · Post by **Torakus** » Mon Aug 07, 2006 5:50 pm

Just can't let old threads die I guess:

Exile, Spirit Pack, Superior Blood, Illuminatis, Guardians of the Relics, Illuminatis, <Insert Forgotten Guild Name here>, Illuminatis.

Started out unguilded for about 6 months getting hand-me-downs from Baltor, mostly grouping with Winlor, Tuttwin and Futtwin. Then Donanan got Shadowcorpse to invite us all into <Exile>. Stayed in Exile til about level 20ish, then deployed to the Gulf, when I came back Don, et. al. had moved on to <Blood Inferno>. I left to follow, but never did join, ended up joining <Spirit Pack> with a fellow Navy buddy, Vlixx and his wife Lillee. That lasted till my mid 30s when for some reason or another, I left and helped form a short lived guild called <Superior Blood>. About that time another Navy buddy, Kinkayd, offered me a spot in <Illuminatis>. Many of the level 50s left Illum to apply to UNB but Illum hung around and then, it was time to deploy again, and this time when I returned, I was all alone in Illuminatis. Waylan talked Tamianx into letting me into <Guardians of the Relics> as a former Illuminatis man, even though I didn't even come close to meeting the level requirements. GoTR provided a lot of great memories, and a ton of great and memorable raids, both as a solo guild and with Drac. Then GoTR folded up tents (I stayed out of the politics of it, I loved the whole guild and all of the allies in Drac). <Illuminatis> reformed out of the GoTR ashes, with some former Illum and some GoTR folks and eventually friends and acquaintances. People came and went, even the original leaders. I even left at one point again to form another guild, the name of which eludes me, with some of the original Illum that left, but always found my way back to <Illuminatis>. Never a power guild, but always full of quality players, with the occassional drama queen and clownshoe recruit to make things fun, and we even plowed through some content now and again.

Some Illuminatis originals, including me, reformed up in EQ2 as <The Illumi Nation>, not sure if they are still around, many of the surviving members of the last iteration of Illuminatis in EQ reformed in WoW on Stormrage as <Illuminatis>, where I remain with the same game names as I did in EQ.

3. Aftermath of Darkness
4. Veteran Crew (where Xabby spent her last days in Norrath)

RIP Xabazu Mojozu ^_^

I was a member of Pawns of Prophecy when Pulbas Prophet took over the reins. Lol I remember Lhanna, yup she's what I call Bipolar lol (she would be all nice one time and then suddenly she becomes this major bitch you just want to kick in the arse).

Awww I miss EQ!!!

Zarake!!!! I miss those old times when you used to join us Zenith members when we raided NToV. I hope all is well for you mate.

Oh, and I don't count the Roatus pack as a guild, but that was one kick-ass team of players.

Roatus was a badass when organizing indy raids. His team was a conglomeration of several guilds namely Phalanxian (a Singaporian-based guild), Remnants of what used to be Sword of Samurai (A Japanese-based guild), several other very small guilds and some indies. His skill and leadership qualities were top notch. I first witnessed his skill when he helped us kill Zlandicar. I almost pissed my pants when he just told us to hang out at the zone and that he would pull him towards the zone. Lol a few minutes later we were staring straight at Zlandicar, single pulled with no adds. Yup he's a badass monk.

Wow, alot of old names here, including mine.
Hint, I was the mage in the bazaar who sold summoned pet weapons for very cheap, 5 - 10 pp.

1st guild, I forgot the name, but it was an rp guild for good alligned characters only

2nd guild was Evoluxa, was in it till it fade away into memories only.

Last guild, Exemplar, who was nice enough to take us old folks from Evo.

Wave all,

selling pet weapons... selling summoned items... for shame

Kozymo · Post by **Kozymo** » Fri Oct 20, 2006 4:01 pm

ROFL, it was only to counter the ones who were selling them for 25 - 40 pp each.
Way to expensive for young players trying to get lvls, hehe.

Hey Kozy!!

Don't be dense Ari, you know damn well people were raping others for those items in the auction house and an assload of people appreciate having the ability to pop into the market and just pick some up cheap rather than locating a high level mage to summon them for you. Kozy was fucking awesome, he totally low-balled that stuff.

I use to raid with Roatus and the Roid crew aswell

They were a great bunch of people, each and everyone of them.

I may have already done this... oh well.

1st - Lords of the Sky
2nd - Castouts
3rd - Endeavour (/wrist)

I feel like there should be more on that list, but I did quit Lots and go back to castouts after I had left the game for a while once... then eventually just went back to Lots...

So little guilds, so much time.

Watchers helped Kassim lose his virginity.

I thought Kassim lost his virginity to Shehrezadde?

I always wanted to be in Maidens of Faydark.
