Here we go! Last of the events leading to the final confrontation with Meldrath the Malignant has been defeated and we have paid the gnome mastermind the first visit. Expect to see a full update of the whole MMM zone defeated soon!

So we did as he asked and went to pay him a little visit. Put a nice little dent in his suit also and plan to make that dent quite alot bigger very soon!

Tonight we took another step towards facing Meldrath himself, as Seneschal Bargangle Tinkerson was defeated. To increase our chances of winning, I wasnt online and therefor have no pictures other than the winning strat. So I am gonna break the rules and share this with you all, courtesy of Rummux the Tactician

With The Buried Sea expansion fast approaching, Raging Fury is looking to reinforce our current raidforce with some new people. It is no secret that TSS was tough on several people, but like always they stuck with us to see TSS defeated. Unfortunately after finishing the expansion and being in farm mode for a month, people loose the thrill of progressing and some decided it is time to move on to reallife adventures. A big thank you to those people who helped bring us to the top of the game year after year. I am sure you will be successfull in whatever you choose to do in RL

Fortunately for YOU, this means we have a few openings for people eager to experience the best of what raiding can be like in EQ. We are looking for players that are happy with their class, who still has a desire to play EQ and not any other newly released games. We are looking for highly motivated players who are willing to work on Solteris flagging and dont mind showing up night after night for wipes while we learn the new challenges that lie ahead of us and who are willing to stay when the boredom of farming hits us after we complete TBS. You have to be a teamplayer and be able to keep a positive attitude even when things dont go our way.

If you think you match this description, then please contact our recruiter Illandra or any of the officers, even this grumpy dorf in game, via the board or e-mail. All classes welcome, though some will have higher requirements than others based on current needs. High priority will be given to a couple of clerics, paladin, shadowknight, ranger and necro at this point, but if you can convince us that we need you, then please do so

Still mostly praise to the Dragons of Norrath expansion, albeit the lockout timers are somewhat excessive. Having to wait for nearly four days prior to repeating a 24 player event is all but disconsolate. Having said that, most of the encounters we've attempted so far are highly enjoyable, most definitely the Guardian of the Sands event, which proves the programmers have taken an innovative path in regards to expedition design and strategy.

Upon reaching Yar'Lir we discovered an apparent vanity issue, the dragon having indulged himself with several titles, most pertaining to weather related elements, though we will merely refer to him as Yar'Lir. Knowing that defeating this event would set in motion a one time dynamic event opening up the nest for our server, we all agreed that our weekly Anguish farm could easily be postponed to permanently alter the state of Antonius Bayle.

Through unlocking The Nest, we obtained access to the following monstrosity, it seems the Yar'Lir model is a popular choice for high end DoN mob design. Traits found amid the earlier Gates of Discord encounters were recognized upon playing around with the event somewhat, and hopefully we will return soon to engage the guardian of the dragon spawning grounds.

European servers have long been neglected in comparison to the American ones. I could mention GM events being arranged at 4 am, patches ending at midnight, pretty much rendering the entire day worthless for raiding. These are things we have long since learned to accept, our server being the oddity amongst the pack, located on a foreign continent. However, leaving the Arch Magus Vangl event broken on Antonius Bayle only is hardly a minor issue, it is pretty unbelievable considering the fact that we have two high end guilds located here, both deeply involved their learning process against Mata Muram. Having spoken to several raidleaders serverwide, they've all confirmed the encounter is working perfectly. Set aside five minutes of your precious time to patch the Anguish zone on the server that most likely utilizes it the most...I usually refrain from ranting about such issues, but this has been postponed for way too long now.
