Site Redesign

Durathor | 25 January, 2010

It’s a new year (it’s still January, so that counts, right?), so it seemed like an appropriate time to have a new look for the Lords of Nordrassil website too. The change includes an upgrade to the forum too, so you may need to update your bookmarks. Everything should still be there in the forum, now on the latest version, so some things might work a little differently.

Any comments on the design, or problems encountered, please let me know in the comments.

Lords Top 20 Achievers – Dec 2009

Durathor | 15 December, 2009

A couple of months have passed and with the Winter’s Veil incoming this seems like a good time to stop and take a look at how the achievements have been progressing.

No changes at the top of the table, but some movement in the mid ranks.

The achievements were taken on Sunday afternoon and there’s some interesting latest entries there. Quite a few from the newly release Icecrown instances and from the recent Pilgrim festival. A few people are clearing out ‘classic’ instances, while others seem to have spotted a festival I missed and got a Children’s week prize.

A final honourable mention goes to Besti for two reasons – firstly he’s the only non-level 80 in the list, beating quite a few of his top level rivals – and secondly as it looks like he snagged a trip to Blizzcon 2009, or at the very least managed to beg, borrow, buy or steal ‘Grunty’ the Murloc pet from someone who did!

Rank Change Name Score Latest Achievement
1 - Daeimon 5090 [Turkey Lurkey]
2 - Anah 4575 [WoW's 5th Anniversary]
3 +1 Rudi 4390 [Uldaman]
4 +1 Tarn 4360 [The Keymaster]
5 new Azastral 3760 [Doesn't Go to Eleven]

13 +3 Etharil 2625 [The Pit of Saron]

Lords Top 20 Achievers

Durathor | 2 October, 2009

As chasing achievements is key part of the WoW experience these days, I thought it might be fun to have a look at the guild stats on the armory to see who our top 20 achievers are.

The results are below – I’ve also included the latest achievement to see what we’re all working on – hover over the latest achievement to see the details.

There’s lots of brewfest, as expected, but a fair mix of other things too, across PVP. instances, exploring, questing, collecting etc – including some pretty cool achievements. Also no-one in the list has the same latest achievement, which works out a lot more interesting than if we had 20 Brewmasters :)

I might revisit this list in a few months to see how the standings have changed…

No. Name Points Latest Achievement
1 Daeimon 4970 [Down With The Dark Iron]
2 Anah 4565 [Brewmaster]
3 Railor 4540 [Heroic: Trial of the Champion]
4 Rudi 4130 [Have Keg, Will Travel]
5 Tarn 4045 [Lockdown!]
6 Arvariena 3485 [Filling Up The Barn]
7 Oakenheart 3355 [Duel-icious]
8 Krakenoah 3340 [A Brew-FAST Mount]
9 Issola 3030 [Exalted Champion of Ironforge]
10 Dragonian 2895 [Our Daily Bread]
11 Miamya 2735 [Leaning Tower]
12 Soreen 2655 [100 Dungeon & Raid Emblems]
13 Ultimatemage 2625 [Brew of the Month]
14 Ganuka 2620 [Strange Brew]
15 Jermy 2595 [Epic]
16 Etharil 2565 [Mercilessly Dedicated]
17 Karrin 2280 [Stable Keeper]
18 Durathor 2105 [Rapid Defense]
19 Winterfold 2105 [Direbrewfest]
20 Bestiarius 2060 [World Explorer]

Explorer’s Guild

Durathor | 22 September, 2009

The Lords became an explorer’s guild earlier in the month with an off the map trip to an island south of Tanaris. Many thanks to Mia for organising the tour and keeping us pointing in the right direction. Click the pictures below for full sized versions.

Water walking to the island

Water walking potions allow us to dash along the ocean surface and completely off the map to find our party venue.

Let the party begin!

New GM

Durathor | 22 August, 2009

This announcement is a little belated, but as most of you are aware, that in the last couple of months, I (Durathor) have taken on the GM role for the Lords of Nordrassil following Railor’s decision to stand down. I’d like to thank Rai for the incredible amount of effort he’s put in, from taking on the GM-ship back in 2006 when there was barely a guild at all and building the guild to what it is today.

I’m not going to rush to change any of our guild policies or how the guild operates, but would be interested in any thoughts and feedback people have. In particular I’ve started a couple of threads on the forum: one to discuss what people want from the guild (e.g. raiding, somewhere to chat etc), and another to post any suggestions that people have.

The general feedback so far is that a friendly guild that performs occasional group activities such as raiding. To support this, please feel free to use the in-game calendar to organise instance runs and other events. Also if you encounter a friendly player who might want to join the guild please ask – guild officers and level 80’s are able to invite new members. And of course please keep up the friendly chat and helpfulness in guild chat – that’s part of what this guild is all about.

Cheers
Dur

The Lords return

Etharil | 7 May, 2009

The Lords are back into the raiding business.

The two constructs of Naxx are nearly cleared and we march for the other two. Considering the amount of time we spent on this I have but to congratulate all those who participated thus far and put an effort into it.

Voa will also become a steady run as some will be able to update their gear and gather some emblems. Put runs up and remember not to be saved into the instance.

Invitations for raids are restricted to Grand Knight ranks for the time being. We expect all those attending the raids to have a relative knowledge of the Boss fight, be prepared with food, pots and lots of coffee.

For those who don’t have the Grand Knight rank but want to participate, feel free to talk to an officer or the GM, as we highly value the desire to help the progress of this guild.

Guild Firsts in Karazhan – Shade of Aran (& Chess)

Durathor | 13 April, 2008

Shade of Aran was recently killed by The Lords of Nordrassil – another ‘first time’ for the guild!. I say recently, it was actually Easter weekend – real life has been hectic since, so it’s taken me an age to post it. We then followed up with the Chess event and a sightseeing trip to the Prince.

Here’s a screenshot for posterity: click the image for a link to larger version.

Guild Firsts in Karazhan – Curator

Durathor | 16 March, 2008

Curator was downed last Sunday – another first for the guild!. Sorry it’s taken so long to report, real-life can be a drag. Great result though and we had a first look around the upper tower on Monday before the reset.

Congratualations to Ragnesis who got his Tier 4 gloves: [Gauntlets of Malorne]. Also grats to Jermy who earlier in the weekend was lucky enough to get [Fiery Warhorse's Reins].

Here are a couple of pictures of our happy faces both immediately post fights and also once we were organised enough to line up. Click the images for link to larger versions.

Durathor | 16 February, 2008

Another guild first was reached in Karazhan with Big Bad Wolf killed in the Opera event, opening up the chance to have a look at Curator now. This was preceded by good kills of Maiden and Moroes.

Special congratualations to Rudi, Panoramixs and Tarn who got drops of [Moroes' Lucky Pocket Watch], [Red Riding Hood's Cloak] and [Nethershard Girdle] from the bosses.
