Well, as promised, Camlann opened yesterday around 11 AM in the morning (CET). It was immediately flooded by thousands of players and soon it was impossible to log in because the server had reached it's limit (3500 players). It was crazy, new characters popping at starting points like it was some kind of factory.. 75 people running around in a single camp trying to be the first to reach a mob, etc ;)

While I was playing on Camlann, an important part of the Midgard event was played out on Excalibur (not the best of timings if you ask me): the Geersha had a full scale war in the Vendo area, and there was a big annoying worm thing to be killed inside too. Don't know much about it yet, as I unfortunately wasn't there.

The first Camlann characters have been made, feel free to add your Camlann characters to your list of characters (be sure to select Camlann as server), I'll try to get a new page with an overview of all Camlann characters online soon, but unfortunately I'll be fairly busy the next couple of days..

That's it for now, thanks for reading :)

The PvP server (Camlann) is going live tomorrow :)

I'm not sure if I'll spend much time there myself, and I certainly don't hope this will mean we'll see much less of you all in Tiwaz, but I wish you all the best when playing there :)

Have fun 8)

Ehem, sorry for posting this so late.. the alliance forums are located here, please sign up and msg ardamel in game for access. (Same forum name as main char, please).

Due to me not being in game, and little happeneing as far as I can see, there will be no Friday news this week.

Gratz to Kallio for getting his level 50! :)
His epic quest still needs be be done, so I'm sure he'll appreciate a hand in that when he's around...

First of all: GRATZ to Lible for getting level 50! As you all probably know, Lible is being played by Meany nowadays, while the old Lible is now Rullnox, so a little bit of gratz to him too :)

Also, I've made it past 1100 Armorcrafting today, go me! 8)
Thanks to Meany for choosing me as his Lair gear salvager while there, which helped a bit in the financial sector :) Not to forget the other (earlier) donations of course, you know who you are ;)

Hmm, there was something else I was going to mention, but I can't remember.. Two Officers have created new alts today: Leip and Fiestie (Grilf) and Midda (Thorden), new face, same person behind it :)
While we're intruducing new faces.. Welcome to Mora and Capstan, two new additons to our guild. I hope you will find in us what you expect of a guild ;)

On a sad note: Spoke decided to leave our guild and go completely guildless. Read more about it here.

GOA has announced that the next patch will be 1.54. No ETA has been given yet, but it will probably take a while, as it is a fairly large patch.

That's it for now.. Have fun! ;)

I blame the weather... *rolls name back to Grilf* Sorry for the confusion folks.

Stupid HTML, had it in brackets

The long awaited...Friday News

Sorry for the delay with this.. like Drolin, I've had a hectic week :-( exams, interviews and the rest of it... well, lets get on with it :-)

Starting 2 weeks ago.. cos of the missed week

Guild hunts... many have occured.. at least 6 that I've attended, and I expect more 'smaller' ones (only in group size :->). With a decent group you can take alot of things.. especially the daunting WoW's that roam about Raumarik. Many people got drops, all of the best quality :-). And I hope more are arranged in the near future. Hunts included: WoW, Revenant, Prince, Princess, and Diamond seals. Thank you to all who attended.

RvR ... guild RvR has picked up a little more, even I have started :-) But other people, Tyrkisk, Horned, Kallio, Gama, Archeon, and many many more have been spotted roaming in Emain, Odin's Gate, and Hadrian's Wall. For those who don't know.. we now have a bind stone in Svausd faste, (nearest healer - Haggerfel, nearest trainers - Vindsaul on horse, Jordheim without.)

Crafting... people have started crafting again... We now have 3 1000 plus crafters.. Spoke, Thorarin, and Shaniah. With others high on their tails... Arakiss, Thorden, Grilf, and a few others (can't remember.. sorry). Unfortunately, Jimli, one of Midgard's institutions, has quit and deleted his chars (news on the forum). However.. I hope you were getting all your weapon needs from our beloved Weaponsmith, Shaniah :-). If you weren't... get started, she charges fairly, and gets stuff done pronto. In case (only in case) you need something very fast.. I believe Indra and Hadrach.. remember only use these in a last emergency ;-).

Ranks... yes, Ranks are IN! If you need a promotion, please contact a Jarl. The new Huscarl rank should be in whenever the web feactures can cope with it. A little explanation... Jarls - old Huscarl and Jarl. Huscarls - 'elected' officer, on a 2 week tennure. Criers - old criers. Realm Explorer - RR3+ char. Realm Defender - level 40+ or main is an Explorer. Emissary - not another rank. Runner - recruit.

The guild meeting... this is possibly the saddest part of the post.. unfortunately there was a very poor attendance to the guild meeting. I will post more about it next time, but read the motd. Topics discussed in the meeting : FoM alliance, Ranks, Webby. Please check the motd regulary, and the site as well.

Various people made 50: Munkey and Horned. I think thats all.. a big Congratulations to them both :-) (you know who you are ) .

The patch went live.. along with respecs, and many did respec .. I hope you made the right choice :-). The respec bug is now fixed. Please look on the Camelot Europe page for more info (I gotta learn how to do hyperlinks correctly in HTML :-> ).

On the other side of the atlantic.. SC and Alchemy went live, with a host of other things.. Dueling etc. Look on the Camelot Herald for more info there. And the SI has almost reached open beta.. with the NDA lifted.

I think that's all.. once again, thank you for reading :-) (Expect the Friday news to be more prompt in future :-)

As you've probably been told at our guild meeting last Saturday, we've started promoting people to their new ranks according to the recent changes in guild structure. Unfortunately I wasn't able to be there myself, but don't be surprised to see Realm Defenders and Realm Explorers walking around :) If you think you qualify for one of these 2 new ranks, PM one of the officers to get your promotion.

Also, a big GRATZ to Munkey on getting to level 50, I hope we'll continue to see Grilf from time to time as well though :)

The Friday News...

The week started out a little slow... patch day was announced and various guild matters were finalised.. including the ranks and the new alliance with Fellowship of Midgard and Legends of Midgard.

The new rank structure should add some spice to the guild, all info can be found on the forum, on the two posts present there.. take a min to look at them, it's quite intresting reading... hopefully the website features will be in by the end of this week, in time for the ranks to be instigated at the next meeting. Yes, a guild meeting! Read down for more info on it!

The new alliance with Fellowship of Midgard and Legends of Midgard is now in operation, a few more folk will be able to use alliance chat, etc, with the new ranks, however for the moment, the old system is in play :-(. The alliance should give us the ability to have hunts large enough to take out most high level mobs, enough people to talk to for realm info, and some good friends along the way. Please treat members of FoM and LoM with the same respect you treat each other.. (not how you treat me :->).

Gorre testing for the new patch was highly amusing, with some of Tiwaz venturing into some quite obscure specs, while others testing out what they wanted to respec to. With our guild group, we managed to devastate most in duels, obviously cheating in places... (who's heard of a healer with pbt...) it was a great evening, with fun thrown in from Kemor and the other Devs. A dragon in Emain?? are you mad, no, it's Gorre!

The final patch went smothly, all servers were updated to 1.52 by the end of wednesday, for our fun. Many people respeced, but had worked out EXACTLY what they wanted to do, so it wasn't an issue, and we have some chars who have actually been spotted RvRing! Still some people are shying away... but we hope we can sort that out with the guild RvR planned by Agreiloth later this week (please look at the post on the table.).

The Guild Meeting, to be held next saturday! Will be held at Rauma gates (the funny snow covered zone) to be followed by a Revenant / WoW hunt, for drops :-) (Supp spec staff goes to moi! :->) Hopefully all ranks will be converted by then, gonna start doing that today. :-).

Congratulations to all those who leveled, with a heads up to Tyrkisk and Horned, on hitting the big 50! On crafting news... Spoke hit 1000 skill, keep on going! Send your orders to Him / Thorarin. We need a guild fletcher for repairs / staffs etc, anyone who signs up for the job, and gets to 500 skill will be given a plat by me :-)

After claiming Fensalir on Sunday (or whenever) it was taken again, and is now under FoM control, anyone with an estate agent's number... pass it onto me.

Gorre is now a PvP server... there are several Tiwaz playing there.. afraid I don't know any names, but there should be a little info on the Forums in the near future. Remember, your conduct there is as important as your conduct on Excalibur.

Archeon has invented some taxes.. please pay no attention to him if he demands em :-) I've got a little coin bucket at my feet allways, hand it over! (If you have spair coin, think of our crafters, any coin = good news)

RvR wise.. little new has happened... people been killing other people, heads rolling, the usual. Kallio and Thorden had an amusing time in Bledmeer this evening, killing around 2fg of albs with a 2 man team, congrats to them!

Again, thank you for reading.

See you in game, Munkey Blue out!
