26/03/09 Howdy Shadowlords

Just a quick hello from me, i have returned after 1 or two months off from the game. Really glad to see the guild is doing as well as ever! I have only been online for few evenings but i am seeing far more lvl 40s on now than i did before i "took a break".

Guild recruitment has been going well and i see lots of new faces, so hello to all!

Also i understand Alliance talks are underway, expect more on that soon.

I know we have a few people taking breaks at the moment, Tanarion and Swifty spring to mind as well as Cad who i hear is in Japan?? Sam is also on a bit less due to Uni commitments and Xans pc imploded on itself due to his excessive tanking skills! So don't expect to see these people on much at the moment, but hopefully sometime soon!

Checked the calendar quickly and there seems to be plenty of events planned so check things out.... Also feel free to add your own events.

Expect to see updates on thie main page more often as i will be taking this up as my responsibility, I dont know how many noticed but Christmas ended sometime ago!

Thats all for now. See you in game Shadowlords!

UPDATE: Sue has returned to the guild so welcome back Sue! Good to have you back with us, don't worry we wont hold it against you.... much ;)

Mall has asked for a story about what i got upto while on my break.... so here is the first part of this "story".

==================================
Merls Journey
==================================
Merl fought long and hard healing and supporting his friends and allies in the never ending battle against the forces of destruction.He rejocied on the day he reached his 40th level, he was now a veteran of countless battles. But alas things were not right in the land of WAR. The day had come for Merl to pack up his Rune Staff, put fuel in his Roflcopter and copter off into lands unknown. For a time he ventured into the world of "Real life" retiring his copter for what humans called a "bike", muddying his Runic Robes and getting his once long tidy and well presented beard stuck in the chain while cycling through through dense forests with his new found human friends. They would cycle for hours getting lost in the wilderness safe in the knowledge that they were far from the sharp blades of seductive but deadly Witch Elves, knowing that his only enemy were his rusty skills using the some what primitive (by dwarven standards) two wheeled cycling machine.

On one such day while peddling through an unknown land Merl and his human friends came across a Portal, it looked strange and out of place in the land of "Real life". Merl urged his friends to follow him through the portal but alas they were only simple human folk. The stubborn dwarf would not be diswaded and before they could stop him he jumped through the portal...

Once on the other side he found to his terror that he was surrounded by Orcs, but strangly rather than hearing the familiar words "Random Orc says something in a language you don't understand", he could actually understand everything that they were saying, he was even more startled when he looked down to find he had huge muscular green arms. After long hours trying to get any useful information from the rather simple thinking Orcs he came to know that he was in the body of a mighty Orc Warrior around the age of 70 in a funny looking land named WoW. Everything in this land had a vibrant and almost cartoony look and he was constantly pestered by people offering to exchange his real life money for the gold they used in this world..... how they would have use for the "real life" money Merl could not understand.

Alas Merl spent much time in the land of WoW practicing his combat skills and enduring the mindless combat against simple creatures with almost no inteligence....he found himself longing to return to his real home, a land where he fought worthy foes in great battles worthy of song over an ale with his Guild and dwarven brothers after a glorious victory, he longed to return to WAR.... but stuck in this alien world far from his friends how would he ever get home....

TO BE CONTINUED
