80!80!80!80!80!80!80!80!80!80!

wOOt!

Last night our guild ( Light of the Wolf ) finally hit level 80!

It was a great feeling, we formed the guild almost 4 years ago and as a very, very casual guild, at times reaching cap seemed like an impossible task.

I know that guild leveling is much easier now than it was, but it still feels like a huge accomplishment for us.

Since we formed i have met many great (and a few not-so-great) people and formed some lasting friendships. People have come and gone (some come and gone and come and gone and come and gone, such is the way of the MMO player ) but virtually everyone who is or has been a part of LotW over the years has made some contibution. We could never have done it without such efforts.

I must admit to being a bit disallussioned with the guild over recent weeks. I think this is probably caused a lot more by R/L happenings tbh.

It takes a lot of effort to run a guild and try to keep everyone happy and the usual spring-drop-off, in numbers, seems to have effected me far more this year than it usually does.

But……

i think im getting over this now

I have been trying to balance more between doing stuff for myself (selfish bugger i know ) and guild stuff. I may have tipped a little to far in the selfish direction but im sure i’ll strike a balance soon.

Also, the lull in numbers that hit a couple of weeks ago seems to have been a temporary thing. We are still much lower in active members than we where a month or two ago, but we still have enough online most nights to have a bit going on. Im hoping to entice in a few new members too

And hitting 80 has re-awakened my love for the guild in a bigger way than i thought it would!

We had an event last night, to try and get as many guildies involved in the final ding as we could.

We where sitting at 98% so decied to hit the Godking, to grab the last bit of status and get his head as a trophy!

I wont go to much into details of the fight etc… (im sure other blogging guildies will do a better  job than i could) but, suffice to say, it was chaotic but we killed him!

The funny thing was though, we didnt get any status from the kill, so we had to run back to the GH and throw out some crafting writs to get the final few %

It did work out well though, as Emaimee (Our guild leader and the longest serving EQ2er in the guild ) handed in the final writ which bought us to 80, very fitting I thought

While we where doing this, the guild I have been raiding with was doing really well in VP. Although I missed out onmy Mythical update, i woudl much rather have been with my own guild and Hoshkar isnt going anywhere!.

The raid has now worked its way through VP and just has Phara Darr to kill, They are going in tonight (unfortunalty I wont be able to make it) and im sure they will take down the last of the Dragons!
