To those who were members of the Band of the Broken Tusk and, as is the case with 99% of you, remained on good terms with us,

I just want to say "thank you".  Unfortunately, combine a largely unfinished MMO released to retail, which leads to a more powerful surge of attrition, many many small-medium size guilds were wiped out.  Unfortunately our guild was also one to take a hit from this.  Perhaps we'll see you again in the future, maybe a year from now, maybe with the first expansion. 

Thank you,
Brogath

We will be temporarily halting recruitment until further notice.

Sorry for any inconvenience. 

I just got to thinking today, about how inactive the news section must look to people who aren't members that visit this page.  Well, just to let you know if you're curious, it is because 99% of the news I post is given a "Members Only" access tag, so unless you're a member you don't see it.

This meeting will take place Wednesday, July 16 at 8PM EST.

One of the things on the agenda for this meeting will be guild PR, public RP events, and how to increase magnetic exposure in general.  I'll have NotePad up on my PC so I can jot down your suggestions and you're welcome to take notes of your own, so this is something to be thinking about until Wednesday.  Please come with a mic, tested and working, or avoid this meeting.  If you have a special situation where a mic isn't available or accessable, please contact me in-game with the details and we'll be discrete.

One:  There is another event in the works that Shemesh has put together that guild members can sign up for right now in our member forum.  Remember, it's first come first served!

Two:  Looks like the issue has been fixed where players can't solo dungeon bosses lower level than them.  The other day I tested this with Brogath who was 69 at the time and was able to kill all the Sanctum bosses this time around, though it's a bit tougher.  Aside from having to watch what you're doing, use a few cooldowns, and maybe an occasional potion, it's easy again to solo these bosses for guildies since they fixed the damage bug.

Three:  We've recently learned that we cannot progress further into our crafting tiers without building our trade workshops tier 2 and 3.  In light of that, as we get the materials for Tier 2 buildings we will begin building them with priority over the walls, gates, and towers.  So deposit your Yew, Elecrum, Granite, and Iron!  It takes a ton of resources to build Tier 2 buildings, and even worse for Tier 3, so I'll be building walls, gates, and towers between resources being met for the buildings.
