Hard Mode? More Like Nostalgia Mode
Hard Mode. What did it teach us? Well, for one it taught us what happens when 100 teenage girls on their period post on the internet all day. See this thread for more info on that. It also taught us one thing that we already knew, that SoD is no match for 36 RoI members. Some people might remember that one time that <Realm of Insanity> defeated all of SoD, the first time, with 36ish people. If you remember that, then it probably won’t come as much of a surprise to hear that we did the same thing again, only this time we got (arguably) better loot for it.
For what it’s worth, hard mode was even more of a joke than original SoD was. The events fell just as easily as they did in normal mode. Our hard mode Zek Brothers kill was our most flawless to date. Not even one person died in the whole event (unless you count Quirky as a person, which we don’t). All in all, hard raids were interesting. They weren’t the apocalyptic end to EQ that some people predicted and they weren’t the end of 54 man raiding. They will keep us semi-entertained for the next few months while we finish up farming and prepare ourselves for Underfoot.
Which brings me to my next point. If you want to be a part of the guild that is going to smash the shit out of Underfoot when it opens, then you best be getting in touch with Qulas sometime in the very near future. We still have openings for clerics, berserkers, shamans, and wizards, but exceptions can always be made for exceptional players so don’t be afraid to chat with Qulas if your class isn’t listed there. If you are the kind of person who wants to be the best and wants to be with other people who are the best then RoI is the right place for you. If you are considering joining then the best thing you can do is get your ass off the fence and make a decision one way or the other, the longer you wait the less likely it is that we have space for you when you finally decide you want to join.
Now, let’s recap.
Exhibit A- RoI ownage
Exhibit B- Many lawls
