Myrmidons - Age of Conan

Only a few months time

    After the testing of the promised Age of Conan PvP Patch, I have officially announced the Myrmidons have left the game perminantly. Along with the game in the box, the PvP patch left emptied promises and showed very limited potential. With that said, we are now looking at 2 potential games to reinstate our guild in. While we wait the next year or two for Knights of the Old Republic Online, we will be choosing (on October 10th, 2008) between the new game Warhammer Online, or going back to LOTRO. It seems that the favor is shifting more torwards Warhammer, as we are giving it a solid month before we even consider the game.


     If reviews are bad, players are distressed, or anything like it was in Age of Conan, we will immediatly resubscribe to Lord of the Rings Online and prepare for their new expansion Mines of Moria. If Warhammer lives up to the expectations, well then we could be in for what we were expecting in Age of Conan.

But for now, I am calling on all Myrmidons to report in to me through Private Message so that I can get an idea of who I can expect back. Any members who do not respond by the end of September will be removed from the guild.


     For the record, any previously kicked members are now able to be reinstated if they accept their incompetence and apologize to me directly. Anything less is not acceptable.

"AoC is our game."

Many have been very curious about the future of this guild in the game "Age of Conan." In a statement given by Baren, he reassured me that "AoC is our game." He also stressed the importance the PvP patch would levy on the guild. "The PvP patch is our lifeline." "Being on a PvE server leaves us very little choice in content, but with new PvP ranks and gear it might be that content we were looking for."

He also confirmed rumors of a guild merge with an un-announced guild. "We will be taking in about 5-10 new members, which will hopefully bring back veteran members to participate in PvP."

Baren also stressed his anger in people who question him and his authority. He reminded me of his policy "If you don't like it get the fuck out."

As for the future, Knights of the Old Republic Online has been confirmed by the CEO at EA. Baren is positive that this will be our next hopeful game.

August is near sire, are we ready?

After 4 weeks in exile, the Myrmidons are set for redeployment. We left the game in hopes for improvement, and I have kept my eye on the progress of the game. Although slow, progress is being made and I am willing to work through many of the development flaws that are still un-noticed by Funcom. I am calling all men and women to come back for a month and give AoC another run. Our main objective will be to take down all T1 bosses and begin T2 by the end of August. We will seek aid from Paradigm to fill our raid with classes we do not have.

So drop down the fast food for a week, count your change, and buy yourself another month! The Myrmidons Return. I am asking all members to Resubscribe for the month of August.

Tier 1 City Complete

The Myrmidons have now completed construction on the tier 1 city. Took us longer than most guilds, but we rely on small numbers, not a zerg. The build your wall competition is now over, and here is the tally:

1. Biatta/Meanstreak - 20 walls each
2. Ramao - 13 walls
3. Garven 9 walls

I would like to thank everyone for pitching in their money for the guild city. Huge donations from Biatta (28g) and Meanstreak (28g) completed the last 40 walls, and we now move on to tier 2. They tied for first, and they will both be awarded a promotion, a 12 pack of beer (provided by Baren), and a couple titties for their winnings.

The Myrmidons, with the assistance of Science of War, will begin raiding the tier 1 dungeons on Monday. Vistrix is our first target (considering I have the crafted gear needed to handle his 5k crit firebreaths). Its said the other instances are bugged, so we will kill this whore first. I expect the level 70s to hit 80 by Monday! Grind for your uberpurplez.

The Bandit King falls

First time the Myrmidons stepped foot into the Fortress of Atzel, we took his head! With more and more Myrmidon reaching level 80, raid capable is on the horizon! Good job.

We also cleared every boss in the fortress.

Update

The Myrmidons have been coming along quite nicely as of late. We are around 2-3 weeks away from raid capable and we are also nearing completion of our tier 1 city. The build your wall competition is now live, with Garven and Ramao swapping leadership each day. We have a guild meeting coming up on the 18th of June, check the member forums for details.

We are now looking for new applicants. We are only accepting levels 60+ and all classes except Dark Templar and Barbarian.

A New King

Conan has been defeated!

Ok, maybe not. Here are some updates with the guild:

We have now completed all tier 1 buildings in our city. All that is left are about 30-40ish walls and towers. The "Build your own wall" competition is in full swing.

The Kings Blades is also in full swing, sign-up if interested.

Would like to welcome Abero to AoC and into the guild.

Construction goes on

Last night the Myrmidons collected weekly taxes and with a huge donation from Siloom (2 gold) we were able to construct the Blacksmith and Weaponsmith. Monday night we were also able to build the thieves guild. Now approaching the last buildings, we look to build the walls around our Kingdom. Check the member forums for updates.

Whomever builds the most walls will be rewarded handsomely by the guild. What will the prize be? You will know when we find a winner.

One Night - 3 Buildings

In a stunning late night viasco, Ramao and Copag (under no orders) decided to suprise the guild with the City Library. They personally gathered the resources and gold needed, and gave the guild a present. With Donations from Baren, Xylol, Siloom, and yet again Copag we were able to construct the Gate. With the 2 gold in the bank, we also built the Barracks. That comes out to be 3 buildings in one night alone. Who has the might to match the Myrmidons?

Oh where oh where has Hitachi gone? Donate to the Ventrilo server!

By the gods, we build.

Another peice of the puzzle has been completed. 2 buildings in one week, the second being the unaccesible City Temple. Unfortunately we cannot access it, but it looks great. Thanks to all that donated, and here is a screenshot:

We also managed to gather a good 5 man force for 41-60 team arena and had good success.

I would like to welcome our new trial member Rammses to the ranks!
