Going to CZ for two weeks

Yes, it's that time again, I'm going on holiday to my homeland tomorrow (Friday). I'll be busy, but knowing myself, I will pop in occasionally albeit maybe at strange times so you might not see much of me at the usual times. If I don't see you, be nice to each other, behave and have fun. :)

Trading for TP or expansion codes

I've been seeing quite a few trade posts like this one lately, where people trade unique/named/rare in-game items for Turbine Points codes or, in this case, the expansion code. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe these things can only be bought for real life money. You pay $$$ and pass the code, you get shiny loot, more or less buying-from-platfarmers style.
Needless to say, I won't have any of that in the guild - I've added it to the no-no things in our recruitment thread.

Guess what

We've recruited another Danish person. Chatuyscha, Xarazeen and Znutar are his toons (levels 15, 14 and 8 respectively I think, all of them TRs). He used to play on Ghallanda and now has started anew on Thelanis. No, Chataya who joined a couple days ago isn't an alt of his, it's another person with a similar name.
Hannah and I are going to Derbyshire tomorrow night, so we won't be on much this weekend. If you see Chatuyscha online, say hi and invite him to groups if doing stuff in one of his characters' level range.

Level 70, a new member, the return of the Danes and epics

So last night we had our global level 70 announcement, go us! Thanks to everyone for their contribution. When I next log in, I will put an Altar of Devastation on the ship, which means we will now be able to craft tier 3 Shroud items without setting foot in the Shroud (assuming we have the ingredients of course :)) - there are tier 1 and 3 altars on the ship and tier 2 can be crafted in the Shavarath Battlefield. We are also technically a Large Guild now and we can use items that have large guild augment slots (see this Wiki page to find out what you can put in these slots).
We also recruited a new member yesterday, his name is Chataya and he hails from Poland. He's a new player and has only one character at the moment, a level 8 rogue (a halfling!). Be nice to him and invite him to groups if you're doing quests in his level range.
Apart from this, our current number of active accounts has gone up a bit since a couple of our migrating Danish players have made an appearance. Get in the game to say hi to them before they disappear again!

Also, now that epic scrolls are dropping again and the Easter XP galore is over, we are planning to do more epic runs. We are currently running House P (Snitch, Big Top), House D (Bargain, Tides), Red Fens (Last Stand, Fathom) and we can do other quests as well if people need them. With any luck, I'll cap Micron soon and we'll be able to have a go at Epic Devil Assault guild runs as well (we are missing a high DC crowd control caster at the moment).
