You might have noticed a couple of new faces in the guild the last few days.
Molfrid (currently a level 8 Skald), Dagwath (level 9 Spiritmaster) and Kraig (level 17 Healer).

All 3 of them are new to the game, so they might need some help here and there. Welcome all of you :)

For those of you anxious to try out Foundations: Gorre, the European test server is currently open for public testing, albeit in French (an English test will come later). I'd only recommend it to people with a fair amount of general computer knowledge..

To play, first make a copy of your DAoC directory and download and install the Foundations expansion to that directory (Classic / SI)

You're not done yet, now you need to patch the client to the French 1.63 version.
First, you'll need to patch to the French 1.62 due to a problem with the patch server :(
Unpack this ZIP archive into the directory, the run camelot.exe and let it patch.
Then unpack the update.dat that patches to the 1.63 version from this archive and patch again by running camelot.exe

After all this, you should be able to log in normally, just make sure you select Gorre on the server selection. And look out and talk to the red floating gem thingies marked Gold & Glory :)

Today Nihilum (Liandra) went trough the promotion procedure for Emissary rank. As of now she's a full member of the guild. Welcome once again Nihilum :)

We also have a new member today: Jossan, currently level 16 Shaman. I haven't really had a chance to talk yet, but in any case: welcome to the guild :)

On a sad note: Hagart has decided to quit the game recently. For more information, take a look at his goodbye thread.
Upon leaving he donated most of his gear to the Guild House Fund. I'll be posting a list of items soon for people that might be able to use them, but I haven't decided yet on how exactly I'll be doing this.

That's it for now, stay tuned :)

It's been relatively quiet lately, both in Tiwaz as in the game in general. Several of us went on last monday's Tuscaran Glacier hunt organised by Akyma, where we managed to kill the King & Queen. There were some problems with the organisation, hopefully that will be a little better in any futute raids :)

Jyty decided to make a reappearance in the game, after being inactive for several months. Welcome back :)
