467 days ago <Realm of Insanity> was the 20th guild to defeat the SoD expansion. At the time, it felt to us like we were #1 in the game. Well, this time we really are #1. With our defeat of Brell’s First Creation on Saturday we became the first guild to defeated The Underfoot expansion. To say that this accomplishment took everything we had would be an understatement. I’m so proud of everyone past and present who helped with this. It’s an incredible feeling to know that two years ago we were just some progression guild raiding Solteris and now we are the first guild to beat Underfoot. It’s hard for words to describe how proud I am and how glad I am that I was apart of this guild and this legacy. I’d like to personally thank all of the current Full Members on our roster:

Here are the pictures of us during our epic win:
The anchor has been planted. <Realm of Insanity> ‘s beloved guild banner has been firmly planted at the feet of Brell Serilis and clearly in the lead of the Underfoot progression race. With our victory over Brell’s Trial: Creation we put ourselves undisputedly in first place once again. When we first tried this raid, I thought it was retardedly unbalanced, but after a lot of practice I learned to love it. It really is one of the better designed raids in recent memory and was a ton of fun to figure out and beat. So much fun in fact, that Swag even told the guild if we beat the raid last night, that we would all get nudes of Philphans. He may be a lot of things, but he isn’t a liar, so without further ado I give you more of Philphans than most of you will ever want to see.
For more information about becoming a member, and getting access to the rest of this picture, get in touch with Qulas, Swag, or Gindainy as soon as possible. Spots are filling up faster than ever!
Here are the loots that we found in the chest, followed by a screenshot of us (and the anchor), and finally some quotes.
<Realm of Insanity> got another T7 kill this week by defeating Brell’s Trials: Deconstruction. If you want to join the pain train known as RoI you need to get in contact with Qulas, Swag, or Gindainy very soon because space will be limited once the server merges happen. Here is a list of what we are looking for and a screenshot of our win:
High:
Bard – 2
Necromancer 1-2
Wizard 1-2
Medium:
Rogue 1
Low:
Shaman 1
That’s right. <Realm of Insanity> defeated not one, but two Tier 7 raids this week, for no reason other than to mourn the loss of Foxbury and Sweetkakes. We didn’t do it so that we could stay ahead of every other guild in EQ or so we could act self righteous about it and post bullshit about other guilds on our front page, we did it for them. There was some loot there also, which was pretty cool I guess, if you like stuff like this:
Yeah I know, aren’t we clever? Must be awesome to be that cool.
Real talk, RoI beat The Fungal Corruption raid on Sunday with 47 people. Don’t believe me? Check this out:
For any other top guild in EQ, one new kill per week would be enough, but not for us. After taking a quick break to farm in between (btw check out our recruitment needs at the end of this) we went over to Lichen Creep and did work on that. After a few nights and a few hundred death threats from Swag (mainly directed towards me) we were able to beat this raid as well. I was bad and forgot a screenshot of the chest, but here are our lockouts:
Oh yeah, like I mentioned before, we could use a few more people in our guild. We get T6 loot by the metric fuckton, so if you have high playtime and know how to play your class then get in touch with Qulas, Swag, or Gindainy as soon as possible. Here is a list of what we are looking for.:
Rogues (High Need)
Warriors (High Need)
Wizards (High Need)
Bard
Berserker
Necromancer
One more thing I almost forgot, the quotes, aka the only part that most of you even read.
