Legacy of Oblivion

Because Horde and Alliance cannot communicate verbally in game, I must come here to deliver messages to the other side.

YOUR NAME IS RETARDED. STOP HUMPING YOUR PET.

I’ve gotta be honest; the patch hit us hard. Our weekly raid is going on as scheduled, but we’ve felt the effects of 1.10.

Oh yeah, we’ve noticed. Somehow, raids haven’t been the same since.

It has also come to light that Arcadi and I kick ass. Personally, I love raiding now.

Er, wait. No I don’t. In fact, I think I’m allergic and will probably not be able to raid until they fix the CT Raid Channel Bug.

Thankfully Kordy’s been doing her best to cheer everyone else up.

I’m not going to touch that one. I probably don’t have to, since everyone else will do it for me.

Anyway, life has gone on after the patch, but things in LoO have slowed down. Many of us are not playing as much as we were, some are taking a break from the game altogether, and some are playing other games. Evenings in LoO have almost become depressing. But hey, I’m not pathetic or anything. If I said the word, a plethora of awesome new guilds would take me. Like this one:

THEY’VE SPRUNG OUT FROM THE MIST!!!!! Oh, my sides! The funny thing about this guild is that it’s a copycat guild name from some Alliance guild, but with “PvP” stuck on the end. But hey, they mean “buisness”, whatever that is.

Sabe’s Rating: Sucktacular

Well, no matter. There are other things to do. This offer is right up my alley:

Yeah! I want to be twinked like a mofo!

But alas, those things are just for my noobs. In the meantime, I guess I’m stuck with you guys. Although lately, we’ve been sad.

And we’ve gotten soft! Even when Toetem isn’t with us, most of the raid wants to take our usual 9:00 afk! It’s time to whip you pansies back into shape! And I know the man for the job: Thundrax. Only he can take this motley crew and turn you back into fierce fighting machines, using his ultimate weapon: Sarcasm.

Toetem is on board with whipping you nuggets into shape, too. In fact, I think he’s looking for a little revenge.

LoO definitely isn’t done for; we just need a little reviving. We’re also still open to new members joining us. Our only requirement for new members is the ability to do math, since we are severely lacking in that department.

What is to come in the near future for LoO? We’re looking at moving the weekend raid to Friday, we’re going to be bringing back weeknight raids, and coming up real soon is Scavenger Hunt part II. Stay tuned.

Well, you know what they say: Always go out with a song. Or prose. Whatever.

Patch 1.10 has gone into effect, to the chagrin of everyone except Blizzard and people so uber that they don’t give a crap since it doesn’t affect them. Upon receipt of the server maintenance notice, Thundrax got to work immediately, translating the message into layman’s terms that everyone could understand:

Important Safety Information
Suicide in Children and Teenagers
Blizzard Server Maintenance increased the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in children and teenagers.
Patients who are started on therapy should be observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidal, or unusual changes in behavior. Blizzard Server Maintenance is not approved for use in children and teenagers.

People should not take Blizzard Server Maintenance. Adult and pediatric patients taking antidepressants should be watched closely for signs that their condition is getting worse or that they are becoming suicidal, especially when they first start therapy, or when their dose is increased or decreased. Patients should also be watched for becoming agitated, irritable, hostile, impulsive, or restless. Such symptoms should be reported to the patient’s doctor right away. Blizzard Server Maintenance may raise blood pressure in some patients. Your blood pressure should be controlled before starting treatment and should be monitored regularly. When people suddenly stop using or quickly lower their daily dose of Blizzard Server Maintenance, discontinuation symptoms may occur. Talk to your doctor before discontinuing or reducing your dose of Blizzard Server Maintenance. Pregnant or nursing women shouldn’t take any Blizzard Server Maintenance without consulting their doctor. Before starting Blizzard Server Maintenance, tell your doctor about any medicines you’re taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements.

Ask your doctor if Blizzard Server Maintenance is right for you.

Many questions followed, which Thundrax was happy to answer for the LoO crew. One of the questions confused the effects of Server Maintenance with the effects of Zug. Thundrax answered with the following information:

No Blizzard Server Maintenance can be confused with Zug. Perhaps the following will clarify:

Both direct (external) and internal exposure to Zug are of concern. Zug can travel much farther than Blizzard Server Maintenance and has enough energy to pass entirely through the body, potentially exposing all organs. A large portion Zug largely passes through the body without interacting with tissue - the body is mostly empty space at the atomic level and Zug specifically Zuglions are vanishingly small in size. By contrast, Blizzard Server Maintenance inside the body loses all their energy by colliding with tissue and causing damage. X-rays behave in a similar way, but have slightly lower energy.

Zug does not directly ionize atoms in tissue. Instead, he transfers energy to atomic particles such as electrons (which are essentially the same as beta particles). These energized Zug particles (Zuglions) then interact with tissue to form ions, in the same way radionuclide-emitted alpha and beta particles would. However, because Zug has more penetrating energy than Blizzard Sever Maintenance, the indirect ionizations they cause generally occur farther into tissue (that is, farther from the source of radiation) ie Zug.

How can Zug affect people’s health you ask? Because of Zug’s penetrating power and ability to travel great distances, he is considered the primary hazard to the general population during most emergencies. In fact, when the term “Zug sickness” is used to describe the effects of large exposures in short time periods, the most severe damage almost certainly results from direct Zug exposure.

Rapine was intrigued by the power of Zug, and came up with the following, which can be used like a Mr. Yuk sticker - but not. Behold the Mr. Zug sticker!

Short update…life with a toddler is muy busy.

Poo. Cute fuzzy Disney bears aside, it’s a serious topic that should be handled with maturity and respect for the body’s need to eliminate waste. Enter Legacy of Oblivion guild members, stage left.

….

I have absolutely nothing else to add to that. So, onward. I honestly haven’t been keeping up with drops and who got what, because the resident loot ho, Arachne, has been stealing them all to disenchant. Curse you, loot ho! So this will just be a hodgepodge of the random scariness that is LoO.

You know we are a hard core raiding guild when you have to beg in all caps for a bathroom break.

A weakness in the wall of the Arcadi embargo, perhaps? Of course, Barathron went on to die a few times after that, so apparently the wall remains unshaken.

We’ve been working through UBRS a bunch, still trying to get the chest armor for everyone, as well as getting used to the new instance restrictions. Some days are better than others for the PEEN. Here, he is a wet stain on the ground after getting blown off the ledge by a dragon in the hatchery.

Oh Peeny.

And last, but not least, Sabe is trying to lure people into her web of death.
