One day Kikthin was wandering through the woods in his pink hooded cape on his way to visit his grandmother. Once there, to his horror, he found his grandmother gone and a big mean wolf sleeping in her bed instead. "My, what big teeth you have" said Kikthin and the wolf replied "That's so I better can eat you!". Kikthin screamed "No way!", kicked the wolf in a very special place and ran to the guild hall and gathered up all the Raging Fury troops. Soon we were on our way

After testing some stuff as always and wiping several times, we made a nice little battleplan, wiped some more, changed plan etc etc. Tonight we executed it and you see the result below

Congratulations to Illandra and Kikthin on their new helmets

And big gratz to Sharifa and Grynoldy as well on respectively new augment and ring

And we lived happily ever after. Well, until tomorrow atleast..

Just a brief update to confirm that we did indeed kill the Balreth event in Solteris just a couple days after Aprosis went down.

I will keep this short for two reasons. I think the Aprosis update is still bigger news and deserve the spotlight a bit longer and second I think we will see an update about a Dead event 4 before too long and Im too lazy to do 3 updates so close together.

So stay tuned for more

I am proud to say we are back in full force. For todays event we had 63 people online after adding another excellent batch of recruits and also cause the Raging Fury army was smelling victory approaching.

We are a pretty well balanced guild and always have been. Always had a great cleric team and super supportclasses. Add to that a strong tank team and because of sisters, now also a fair deal of dps and you have a nice mix of classes that should be able to deal with whatever you send at us that doesnt just focus on one thing. We have tried to balance our raids between farming TSS and progressing in TBS while slowly getting a few keyclasses that we lacked. Result is an all-round wellgeared guild and Solteris will get a taste of what we are like when we get rolling

When we did the sister event, I could have sworn that was probably one of the toughest events I had ever seen. Ofcourse, by then I hadn't seen the Aprosis event yet. I was a bit discouraged by our first attempts on Aprosis. So much chaos. Soemhow we succeeded in controlling this chaos and I have a newfound respect for our mezzers and offtank team. It didn't take us nearly as many attempts to get this down as we had on sisters. Maybe because you dont have as strict a timer and you can choose to go less dps and instead go in a bit more controlled manner. For a guild like ours, this is perfect. We ended last week with a wipe to Aprosis with him being at 0%. So atleast we knew it was doable with some luck on the random generator on adds and a very tiny bit of tuning the final stages. Most importantly, it was doable without any cheesy tactics. Just straight up oldschool tanking, healing, mezzing and alot of praying for good luck. So today we went back, determined to finally put Aprosis and his henchmen behind us. After a couple of "warm-up" runs, we decided to push our dinnerbreak back a bit for another attempt while we were focused. Good decision. Orc went well, adds went smooth and even Aprosis settled in after a bit of a rough start. Slowly, but steady he was going. Can't say it was flawless since I was among the Dead myself and not just mages and halflings on the casualtylist, but it was a a nice run that brought the adrenalin up and even at 10% there was the risk of a wipe. Quite a rush. And from the screenshot below, you can see the relief and sense of accomplishmen these kind of fights bring

I must admit I was a bit busy during the event, so didn't have alot of time to stop and enjoy the scenery and take pictures. You will have to settle for one very Dead vampire and the winning team that was online today and took him out in an amazing display of teamwork

Congratulations to Sidarx and Kikthin on their new gauntlets

And likewise to our two stabbers Chapox and Infectorz on their new weapons.

As always, I will end with the usual recruiting speech. We are lucky enough that we dont have to hunt down people, but are getting a nice steady stream of people interesting in joining our great guild. Most spots have been filled, but I do believe we still have a few vacant spots for specific classes like a wizard, an enchanter, a berzerker to name a few. You are able to see the full list Here!

I have been putting off updating the frontpage cause I felt we were close to having some big news to announce, and here you have it: Raging Fury gets another scalp in our belt as we take yet another serverfirst kill by defeating the infamous Mayong's Mistresses event in Solteris

The Sister event... what can be said about this event. It is mean and unforgiving. It is unlike most other endgame raids cause you did not have alot of flagging to do and no other raids to kill to unlock this event. It has been accesible to pretty much every guild in Everquest that was interested in trying it since the first week after TBS launched. I think it is safe to say that not alot of guilds will be able to walk over this event no matter how easy the flagging for Solteris was. The road has been frustrating for alot of people cause it simply seemed unbeatable for our guild due to lacking DPS. I still find it funny that the first guilds to beat this said it is not about DPS. Ofcourse you cannot neglect your healers, curers, slowers etc but this is not an event where you just compensate by offtanking, kiting and more maintank switches cause the fight takes longer due to low DPS. That being said, I agree with what others have said that the fight is highly customizeable and takes alot of tweaking

If I heard correctly in guildchat last night, someone said he had around 150 entries in his log with failures on this event. Ofcourse that includes attempts where we wiped halfway and even aborting right after starting, but I think this shows the determination we have put into beating this. Eventually we found the setup that works for our guild and the people we have on raids and we found the focus that is definitely needed to execute the tactics you need to win. So I am happy to say that while some events in TSS left the impression that they were too easy and there wasnt really much cheering since it did no feel that much like a victory, this fight definitely gives a sense of accomplishment when you finally beat it

Other guilds have made a big deal out of posting their raidcomposition on the winning attempt. I am not gonna bother doing that. I dont consider us a DPS guild, but pretty balanced actually, so instead I will just show some of the action and a scrapbook picture of the winning team. That team obviously includes members that wasnt online that specific day but came each day and helped us beat this. They deserve a place in that pic as much as anyone else, right next to our secret weapon

Congratulations to Sidarx and Fulast on their new bracers

And congratulations to Illandra and Bebop on each getting a shiny new ring

While we are filling up nicely and are having full raids again now thanks to some nice new additions, we are still interested in hearing from a few more people, especially a wizard, necromancer, paladin to name a few. You are able to see the full list here! Both native AB players as well as servertransfers are more than welcome to apply. Once you make up your mind, please send us your info either as PM or preferably via e-mail here: Apply! and we will get back to you as soon as possible. You can also contact Illandra or Corvard as well as any officer online.

Another brief update just to meet my monthly Deadline for frontpage updates

The Buried Sea expansion has arrived and ofcourse Raging Fury has flagged ourself in a great team effort from everyone. We still tear up Ashengate and Frostcrypt, but I doubt anyone is interesteed in hearing about this again. So instead I will bring you a nice picture of our adventures guild sitting at the Sisters event in Solteris, throne of Ro, admiring our guildbanner. Not that there is much time for slacking in that zone. We are working on the event and we are improving and it is looking good so far. It is definitely not a walkover, but we will get it done. We always do.

We are fortunate to have several people on the way from other servers to join our ranks and might close recruting soon, but for now we are still open for an enchanter, a wizard, couple of paladins and shadowknights, a necro and a bard. Gnomes extra wanted!

You will find all info needed to apply on our forum as well as in links on this frontpage. Expect us to have some exciting news for you soon.
