Current Status (January)

Somnium Here We Come

Tenacity has set it's goals on bringing down "THE HOUSE OF THULE" - If you're interested in riding the Pain Train contact an officer or class leader.

With the Pain Train only one stop away from Sanctum Somnium, we went and checked out Morell's Castle. After a quick slaughter of three silly little wimplings, we found our old buddy Pallorhax!





It was our hope that with Sony cracking down on cheaters, he wouldn't still be up to his old shenanigans. Alas, shortly after engaging him he started blatantly warping around the room.

On our first attempt at him, we took him to 17% before his hax got the better of us.
On our second attempt, we slaughtered him.





Poor Pallorhax, in all these years and with all his hax he's still just as gimpy as before.



Speaking of gimpy, another interesting story revolves around a silly bard named Sionachi. He tried to train a bunch of groups, including mine.

Here's some images of his handiwork:


Named engaged, here he comes!


Aaaand there he is! Look at how full that ETW got!


In the midst of his last train, a GM showed up and watched as my group killed the train that was supposed to kill us. Then he had a nice little chat with Sionachi. Fun times, I'm sure.

As should be expected, Sionachi was guildless. I can't imagine any guild taking in someone with such a clear disregard for EQ's policies. I mean really, any guild tag under Sionachi's head would instantly lose all credibility - they'd be forever known as the guild that harbors asshat trainers.



By the way Sionachi - THIS is a real train. You may want to take notes.

Many months ago, Tenacity uncovered a terrible plot.










Fortunately, Team Tenacity had a secret weapon!





After quickly putting an end to the terrorism, the Pain Train kept rolling right on through. But eventually, we were forced to accept a horrible truth.

There was more to the plot.





We raced off to Fear to help our buddy Cazic, who was doing his best to keep the rowdy adventurers in line. But there were just way too many camped out in tents all over the place. He couldn't do it alone. Once again, Team Tenacity stepped up to help.



We sent our fastest runners off to knife the adventurers to help stave them off, and the rest of the Team worked its way up to Cazic's home. But that's when we saw the real tragedy.

Cazic had been driven mad from having hundreds of people telling him what a horrible job he was doing, and then preventing him from doing his job. So now he was out of control, killing people left and right and just going way too far. We'd have to put him down.




Meanwhile, the adventurers received some moral support from an unlikely candidate...


This brought forth a slight bout of sanity for Cazic...




Then the battle raged again.





It soon became clear he couldn't even tell we were trying to help him. With a heavy heart, our fearless leader realized what must be done.







On a serious note.

Veil of Alaris comes out on Tuesday. Last year, on the Sunday before House of Thule was released, Tenacity had defeated Fippy and Beast. That was it.

That Sunday, we had a strong surge of dedicated raiders help us take down Pellucid Grotto. The next night we beat Foundation less than 12 hours before HoT came out.

The point is, a year ago, we were 2 mobs into Underfoot.

Today, we are 1 raid away from the House of Thule end zone.

In one year, we beat most of an entire expansion - one of the hardest in EQ's history - and more than 75% of the current expansion after that. That's a major accomplishment.

EVERYONE involved in that, from people like Eats who have been here since day one, to people that were here for this past year, to those that have retired, to those that just joined Tenacity a week ago...

All of you deserve commendation for our progress this past year. You've all been a part of it, and I thank you. Good job, to every single one of you.

It has been a pleasure and an honor raiding with everyone this past year. I can only hope that every member of Team Tenacity has enjoyed it as much as I have.

Veil of Alaris releases on Tuesday, and we'll have a whole new expansion to destroy. This time, we only have 2 zones and an expansion to be all caught up. So let's do it. Let's finish out House of Thule and rip into Veil of Alaris together.

I look forward to playing and raiding with all of you for another year, and conquering yet another expansion in the nastiest way possible.





And NOW for your Moment of Zen!!



Blame Razorfist.

Last night, a Casual Guild Filled with Fucking Noobs(tm) managed to take down the Lich King... err, Miragul.

One day we'll be a real raiding guild, I swear! I think we have to skip content, have other guilds request raids for us, and depend on alliances to keep our guild alive before we achieve that though. We haven't done those things yet, so it only makes sense that we're still a Casual Guild Filled with Fucking Noobs.

We still killed Miragul though. Here's how it went down.

First, the Team split up and killed Miragul's body and brain, along with the Synarcana for good measure. That was the easy part.

After that, Team Tenacity stood face to face with Miragul himself... and this phone rang.







The Pain Train slammed into him hard, and he splint into three...




Which we promptly dealt with.


He reformed once again, and Team Tenacity showed no mercy.




My fellowship did their part by distracting him...







And then he was dead.








And now for your Moment of Zen!

Several years ago, a wizard came to the mystical realm of Tenacity, where he enrolled in the Mlle School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. That wizard was Sueran Potter, and his name will live forever.


But all was not well in Tenacity, for the wizard Headmaster Tiberinus had been hating the everliving fuck out of the power-hungry wizard Al`Kabor since 1999. Al`Kabor finally went too far, and used dark magic to split the world into pieces, splitting his soul in the process and making him immortal.







Sueran learned that he would have to defeat each island, killing a part of Al's soul in the process, before he finally confront Al`Kabor himself.

And so he set off, taking his friends from Tenacity with him in his hunt against the dark wizard, conquering each island one by one.


At last, only Al`Kabor himself remained.

He animated the dead against us, sending hordes of undead minions to attack. Finally, though, Al`Kabor realized that he himself would have to take action against Sueran Potter.


A great battle ensued, and many good wizards were lost.

Only with the combined help of the elves, like Dynae Doesdallas, and talented beastlords such as Tallaorma, was Al`Kabor held off long enough for Sueran to finish the job.


At last, the people of Tenacity were safe.




And now for your moment of Zen!!
