Legacy of Oblivion

Patch 2.4 is coming soon, and that will mean big changes in World of Warcraft. Remembering what a catastrophe patch 1.10 was and how difficult that was on the guild, I didn’t want us to end up stuck in an awkward position. So, Thundrax and I have been in constant discussion over what that will mean for Legacy of Oblivion. We’ve managed to pick out the most important bits and have developed a loose “go-forward” plan that will give everyone things to do while progressing the guild for more difficult content. Granted, we’re a small guild, but there is still plenty of stuff for us to do. We’ll talk about that in a second. Before we do that, let’s talk about the most important 2.4 changes and how that’s going to effect us.

First of all, some things will be changing during our raids. Mostly, there will be a price increase on all of Arcadi’s services.

It’s simple supply and demand. The new rates have not yet been determined yet, but we expect they will be announced on the first raid after the patch, when someone wants to do Zug in. And in case you’re wondering, that “someone” will probably be me. Daily quests are available to help you farm cash, and if you need a buddy to help, don’t be afraid to ask. Fortunately for me, I don’t need to farm cash for this service, because I’ll just use Zug’s money to pay for his own whacking. It’s a beautiful thing.

Moving on. We will be experiencing a bit of disappointment in the new patch, as repeated requests are still being unanswered: No mention yet of the in-game spellcheck.

No word yet on moron checker, either.

While they’re at it, some dev should check on the possibility of adding an in-game dictionary checker.

Unless I’m mistaken, and these people recon things. At dawn.

I suppose Blizzard has had other things to work on, so I guess I’ll let it go. For now. Instead, a new heroic will be added: Magister’s Terrace.

Note: There will be a quest to unlock the heroic mode. I don’t even need to ask Thund if he wants to go because I’m sure the answer is yes - so be prepared for that action.

Now for the housekeeping.

First, we need to talk about Matelda.

We’ve had a bit of confusion so I want to straighten out the Matelda/Mechtilde/Cato thing: Matelda is still in LoO, Mechtilde has been brought back to LoO, and Cato has gone to another server. I don’t know the name of the guild, but since it’s on another server entirely, it really doesn’t matter. No other moves will be made on his part until his “girlfriend” tells him what to do.

In related news, Matelda is still a gay geisha and, no matter what we do, likes to run off cliffs.

The guild feels smaller than ever, especially this week with so many people being on vacation. Don’t be discouraged. It really is the same amount of people who always play, we have just trimmed off some of the “fringe” players who were on, but didn’t participate.

The reason I’m bringing this up is that we’ve had more questions about going to Kara/ZA, even though I said in a previous message that we weren’t going. Just goes to show how much you listen to me! Maybe we’ll go. Maybe not. I’m not going to get your hopes up about it.

As far as I can see right now, we will not be inviting strangers of foreign guilds to do it. I’ve looked into the possibility, and it just isn’t an option. If we go, we will do it all in house. The problem with this is that there are exactly 10 of us, and if anyone has to bail for any reason, the night may be shot. Thund and I are still discussing this so it’s not ruled out, but it’s not in our reach right now simply because of the numbers. We also need an offtank. I’m working on one, but you know it’s going to take me a little bit before I can get Evoo leveled.

I definitely appreciate that you all still would really like to go and conquer, but we may need to just keep focusing on the heroics for now. The heroics are pretty cool, and we’ve accomplished some pretty awesome things. But again, we’ll keep you posted. If you still have questions or comments about this, please see either Thund or myself.

Awesome new PvE gear will be available after the patch, all purchasable for badges. Some of these things will cost a metric f00ktonlot of badges, so we’re starting our farming now. If you don’t start early, you’re going to be irritated and frustrated when you count up the amount of badges you need. Heroics are running Monday (Catastrophe Happens) and Friday (FNF) so do participate if you still need gear upgrades. This is where we will be focusing our attention for the most part.

Also, PvP will still be going on Sunday nights to farm honor and keep our skills fresh. We’ve spent so much time in the battlegrounds that it’s becoming like a second home.

We’re still having a lot of fun and doing very well. Sunday night PvP (formerly known as SNAW 2.0, now known as RICKROLL - ftw) will continue. If you need upgrades quickly, this is the best way to go. Come on out on Sunday night and we’ll farm some honor.

Any other questions, please feel free to see either Thund or myself, or post something in the forums.

And now for your moment of Zug, which comes courtesy of AW:
