Legacy of Oblivion

Today’s title has been brought to you by our Tard Leader.

I have no idea either.

Now that goldspammers have become nearly extinct, a new evil has arisen……… (impending doom music here)………..

Beggars.

Okay, okay, it’s not a new evil. But it’s strange that I haven’t been pestered by beggars until just recently. Beggars are a problem that everyone can relate to – like the online social and economical problem. Let’s face facts, people: There are jobs a’plenty in the Horde, yet for some odd reason we still have beggars on the streets and they’re jobless, homeless, clueless – and they’re asking for your hard-earned cash. That’s not right.

The socially accepted norm is to tell them no or just give them the money so that they’ll shut up and go away. Well, no more! Beat them at their own game, I say!

Whenever I donate to charities IRL, I always do a background check on the organization and make sure I know where my money is going. Why should it be any different in game? I must have gone a little too far when I laughed at him, because this guy started wigging out. Judging from his response, he’s obviously going to be using the money for crack.

Whitney Houston says no to crack. Everything else is fair game though.

Here’s another one. Remember, be sure to investigate the matter completely. If you feel that you don’t get a satisfactory answer, offer up some suggestions.

If they still aren’t sure how to make some cash, Raste is more than happy to take someone under his wing to show them the ropes of pimpin’.

Never fear, ladies. If you’re looking for a way to make some cash, there’s a market out there for you, too.

Some of our own members are even guilty of begging.

He ain’t too proud to beg.

LoO has grown quite a bit over the past few weeks, as many of our newer members have reached raid level. It’s been that in-between phase where you can’t do actual raiding instances yet, but you are too big to split up into a couple of 5-man groups. So we have been going back to Strat & Scholo every single week, wondering when the time would be right to move on to UBRS. We finally told everyone that, due to our raid size, we had outgrown our usual haunts and would need to graduate to an actual raiding zone that could accommodate 15 – 20 people. But the truth is, our raiding noobs had caught on to our shenanigans.

That Courier in EPL sucks ass if you’re caught standing on the road, but it’s funny when it happens to someone else. At any rate, the LoOnies have caught on to our reindeer games and we’ve had to find new and entertaining ways to kill them. Or at least, kill Zug. And that’s pretty hard when he’s constantly in a corner somewhere, molesting his pet.

As Arachne, you pervs! Zug and the Pig? Eew. If there’s any SuperHam love going on in the world, I don’t want to know about it.

Cyber?

Anyway, Zug had us all hyped up on how difficult UBRS was, saying we would probably die horribly and not make it to Beast, so the officers have been in serious discussions about how to prep our raid force. For weeks I had been making a point to touch bases with Zug constantly, making sure his head was in the right place to lead the raid in this new difficult endeavor.

Nope. And I hate to say it, but this is the fourth time we’ve had this argument. Giadia De Laurentiis totally has Skipper boobs.

See? And the only reason you can see any kind of boobage at all is because she’s bending forward and gravity is pulling her down.

All things aside, we had one thing going for us that would mean our victory:

Iraas’ Greenballs are superior.

So we charged in. We were a little nervous, because we only had 11 people. But then Xerolk logged in and we suckered him into coming. Go us!

First up, we killed this dude:

We reached Rend and our Tard Leader had us all hyped up about a huge fight and how hard it was going to be.

It wasn’t. We decided to shout at each other instead.

Whatever you say, dressboy.

I didn’t get involved in the shouting too much, because I was with the whole Ara killing plan. In fact, I didn’t want to say this before because I didn’t want to steal Rend’s thunder, but it was actually my idea from the beginning.

We killed Rend with a yawn and moved on to Beast, whom it was assumed we could not possibly kill because he was supposed to be some sort of badass. This is a picture of him right before we wtfpwned him:

After he was dead, Zug realized that he hadn’t thought out our strategy for the rest of the zone. Oh well, Thundrax is a willing victim! Oops, I mean, participant.

And here he is, from a distance, General Drakkiwussypants:

He has all those little groups of dragonkin around him, but as we were clearing them off, we sent our sucker in for the slaughter! Er, I mean, we sent Thundrax in to expertly kite Drak around until we were ready to kill him.

Nice work, Thund. Grats Rapine on the warrior BP. There were a few other drops, but I was using Bara’s comp and I’m too lazy to go fish out all of those screenshots. No wipes, few deaths, all in all a good evening. Nice work, LoO.

Stay tuned for more updates and idiots – my pending screenshot folder is full of them.
