Raging Fury wishes everyone a Merry Frostfell!

Enjoy the time with family and friends, be it in EverQuest, another MMORPG or even gasp that strange game called "real life". If you want to spend some time in EQ during the holidays, you might want to have a look at Zatozia's Frostfell Overview to see what specials await you in the world of Norrath.

If you are a Rogue, Berzerker, Wizard or Cleric and think RF might be the right guild for you, then be sure to visit our recruitment section for details or talk to Illandra. Even if you are not among the needed classes we still offer the chance to become a member of the team to exceptional players from other classes, so don't be shy to ask :)

Since the last news update we have been very busy. There have been lots of fights, and while some of them were interesting from a conceptual point of view, so far we haven't really found anything really challenging - something we really hope will happen in the end zone of this expansion: The Citadel of the Worldslayer!

The biggest issues so far we have had with the sons of Rallos Zek in Eriak's Downfall (admittedly a tough script) and with the numerous bugs inside the Rallos Returns event, at which end nonetheless we stood inside the Rathe chamber where we stopped RZ from taking the power of the council:

The next task we had was to find the trigger for the last raid in the Invasion of Earth-theme (to my knowledge we weren't the only guild with this problem), but once we had it nailed down we proceeded and interrupted the ritual by the Discord agents to prevent them from changing history:

So, we now had enough flagged for Korafax (aka Discord) to start raiding there and on the first visit we met a very cool looking guy named Pallorax the Soul Slayer:

He was so dark that he was more shadows than anything else, so excuse the overlighting on the pictures. Apart from 2 armor molds he also dropped the following stuff:

We weren't done for the day yet so we thought we should pay a visit to a more traditionally looking mob Venom Lord Ksathrax:

The result of this fight wasn't too much different from the first one, we smacked him down and got some shiny new toys:

The last fight in this zone is the Mindshear Avatar (pictures coming soon), which shouldn't stand in our way very long either, so that we can fully start the farming of the needed keys to the Citadel. 2 keys per mob means 6 keys per week so you can pretty much plan ahead on when you will see the first pictures of RF raiding in the home of the Worldslayer.

Stay tuned!

This could be the motto of the newest Everquest expansion Seeds of Destruction, as the background story is about correcting the destruction of Norrath brought upon us all by the agents of Discord, who manipulated events in our past. This brings us to some crucial points in the history of Everquest like the building of Qeynos, the battle between dragons and Iksar or the fight in Bloody Kithicor between Lanys T'Vyl and Firiona Vie. This expansion shows the rich lore which EQ has built up over the years and people like our own guild loremaster Imothep rejoice while diving deep into the abundance of quests. One good part about this expansion is though, that not everyone needs to complete all the quests, so people less inclined to quest still can participate in raids without feeling like a burden.

So, what can you expect in Seeds of Destruction from Raging Fury, the guild that was the first on AB to stop the invasion of the Muramites into Norrath back during 'Omens of War' by defeating Overlord Mata Muram? Absolutely right, we are going stop them again, be it in present time or in the past! We started this new expansion with a few days off so people could get to level 85 and do some of the tasks in the various themes, tasks which are needed by at least one person to request those raids which will bring us closer towards our goal to confront the Army of Discord in their own homelands. So far we have completed all the raids in Oceangreen Hills, Field of Scale and Bloody Kithicor with a very cool looking endboss:

While not all of them were overwhelming, the lore itself is really interesting and especially the 'Last Confrontation' between Jaled Dar and Emperor Ganak on his Sokokar in the Field of Scale was fast paced and fun.

The loot on this particular event wasn't too impressive, but it was delivered with style - nothing better than a mighty dragon corpse next to a chest:

We have also downed 'the Crystal Tyronant' in the 'Plane of Earth invasion setting', which had not too shabby loot (but of course I was not online that evening so no screenshots there, I might add some later) and are working on the next progression event there, an event which looks like the first real challenge in this expansion so far. We are definitely looking forward to it! So, do you think you might have what it takes to become a member of the only guild in Everquest that has finished among the top five serverwide in every expansion since 'Gates of Discord' more than 4 years ago? We have a few rare spots open at the moment, check our recruitment section for details or talk to Illandra.

Unfortunately there will be no new kills to report until next expansion is released since we already killed everything in SoF, including the various versions of Kerafyrm, so instead we will give a few select people the chance to join our team before Seeds of Destruction comes out

We are looking for some new people in the form of good and high attendance rogues and berserkers, a bard and finally a shaman. More info can be found here: Recruiting status

As always, we tend to fill our open spots rather fast, so send Illandra a tell in game, PM her on the forum or send her a mail

I will see if I can dig up some quotes for the next frontpage update while we wait

Tonight Raging Fury has put the mighty prismatic dragon Kerafyrm the Awakened back to sleep as the first guild on Antonius Bayle and fifth serverwide.

It has been a long way for us. We started our first real attempt on Kerafyrm on may 27th and early june we reached the 50% mark. On june 10th we reached 21% and the goal was in sight after spending 7 full days working on Kerafyrm when lockouts on the rest of the zone and patches allowed it. It was a challenge to adjust to the AE, but we have kept improving our tactics and alot of different approaches have been tried, while in the meantime our execution got better and better, eventually ending with this:

Once again we confirm our position among the best in EQ. We can only regret that we didnt get the chance to kill the same pre-patch version that we had been working on and came close to killing. However we are ready to take on the challenge if/when the encounter gets retuned in difficulty again. After all, its not just about winning, but winning with style!

I will try to get some screenies of the loot as soon as possible

Just a brief update on our progress. After clearing the other wings, we have now entered Kerafyrm's domain and on the way there disposed of this little wyrmling. After that we took a brief visit to see Kerafyrm, but we were already past our normal raidhour so we just stopped by to let her know we are coming. Soon...

In other news, I find it worth mentioning that Darkwind has decided to close its doors and disband. Regardless of any differences there might have been, you can only respect their accomplishments over the years and be saddened when one of the older raidguilds in Everquest calls it a day.

We have in the past received some high quality people from Darkwind and although we have limited room at the moment, I do welcome those that we can offer a spot. I am sure you will be wellreceived and make a good addition to our team and I hope you will find a home with Raging Fury that matches what you had. To those venturing to other guilds and servers, best of luck to you all and hats of to Darkwind past and present.

After tearing through the other wings, we needed a little time on the Air wing. Not so much rethinking tactics but more a finetuning of our execution.

So I am proud that I did not promise too much when I said we would have an update soon with a Dead Vyskudra. Some will say we just finally got our act together, while others will say it was Misse's promise to talk less if we won that made all the difference. The result remains the same, Vyskudra is down and we are on our way to Kerafyrm!

I guess it is time for another overdue update to replace the april's fools one. At first we didn't really have much to report since we were just farming MMM for more flags until we could safely enter Crystallos. So originally I was just going to make a small update that everything was going as planned and we now had MMM down to a one day farmstatus and post a little lockout picture

But before I got around to that, we had already started our first raids in Crystallos, so I figured I might as well delay the update a little and wait until we had some nice screenshots and hopefully a victory in Crystallos to show instead. So we ended up clearing Fire wing after playing around with Tjudawos for a couple days

And not only that. We progressed a little in Earth wing also and I decided I might as well wait until Earth was down also instead of having to make an update soon after again. Ofcourse we ended up taking down Kildrakaun and clearing Earth

Next up was Ice wing. Again we rolled over the first event and then needed a bit of tuning and learning on the final dragon in this wing, but he went down eventually

Now we have started working on what seems to be the major hurdle in the zone; Vyskudra in the Air wing. He seems to be quite challenging at the moment. Then again, so does most stuff until you figure it out, so Im hoping it wont be too long until we can present you with a screenshot of his corpse. Crystallos has given us quite alot of nice items, so I will end this update with a selection of some of the loot that we have gotten in the zone so far in addition to the armor core upgrades.

Feel free to check back frequently. There should be another update coming soon hopefully

Big changes this week! I'm proud to announce that we finally came up with the solution to Triality's supremacy, especially in maturity. After only 7 years among the top guilds serverwide, it was clear we were doing something wrong. It has taken us a while to figure out what. How do you compete with someone who can outdps, outtank and outheal your entire guild with just 4 groups?? As usual we just threw together some random people in a group and asked them to come up with a solution, but you know, we just plain suck at figuring out stuff. So only one thing left to do:

We consulted Dr. Zaar over at Triton headquarters. He is the serverwide #1 expert on megalomania and other delusions and one of the few people in the world who had been granted an audience with Quarken the Almighty

Since no single guild could even match up against 4 groups, the solution was simple. A merger! And not just any merger! After talking it over with the other guilds on the server who have beaten last expansion and are far progressed in MMM, we agreed it was futile.

The solution: We have taken the best of Raging fury, Shadows of Doom, Tide and Darkwind to form a new unstoppabble force!

Raging DarkTide of Doom

We have decided its time to stop being so soft, letting people slip by with 75% raidattendance and only 5 days of raiding. Our new requirement will be 95% RA, 7 days per week and if you dont show up, you have to go downstairs in the livingroom and get a note from your mom explaining why. Thats how the big guys play it!

After the merge, our roster has swollen considerable, but we can always squeeze in a few more. Who knows, some guild might tune next expansion to their setup, so we have to be prepared! If interested, check here.

Approximately a month after our first defeat of Breakneck in MMM, we finally defeated all the obstacles laid before us and have finished the zone in yet another in a long list of serverfirst victories.

As one of the guilds who entered MMM early and started working hard on progression, we have seen our share of bugs. We have killed 2 different Breaknecks, 3 different Krond (including the "unkillable regen" version) and 3 different prototypes. We have had events where you had to drop instance and clear trash again on every wipe cause events wouldnt reset properly and how can you forget the elevator of doom with its huuge trains?

One of the strengths of Raging Fury has always been to never give up. Was it 50+ attempts on Overlord Mata Muram and over 100 failures on Sisters in Solteris? Meldraths Majestic Mansion has surely tested our patience. Never the less, we came out on top, doing what only 3 guilds serverwide has done before us and that makes this victory even more Sweet.

We are lucky that our continued success seem to draw high quality apps to Raging Fury to incorporate into our team to fill the roles after those that venture on to reallife endeavors and on the other hand less than a handful left us to join other competing guilds over the last 2 years that I can remember, despite ongoing tells from other recruiters (some more humorous than others). All in all this means that over the years we have had a strong foundation of experienced raiders at our disposal. Hats off to them all and they deserve a place on this frontpage for sure.

Below you can see our raidforce getting ready for the final battle with Meldrath

And ofcourse the outcome was a nice picnic in what used to be Meldrath's room!

We still have a very uneven distribution on core drops, so was almost funny to see that the BP core was one of our rarest and we now have a happy wizard with a new robe. MMM is still a source of tons of weapons for us and its not uncommon at all to get 5 weapons in an evening. Meldrath himself proved to be no different and dropped a new weapon for us, along with a nice ring.

So whats next for Raging Fury? I guess 2 months of key farming and gearing up before we enter Crystallos and kick some behind in there. As usual, if you are interested in joining us, send a tell to our guild recruiter Illandra. I know we might have room for an exceptional shaman and enchanter. We are most likely talking solteris gear and high RA, but Illandra will know for sure.
