Leader Status

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 10:42:06 GMT

If ANYONE has heard from Template, please let us know. We hope all is well with him and that he returns SOON.

In the event that he does not return in 60 days, Anet will automaticlly remove him as leader and replace him with the Officer with the OLDEST join date. At that point I suggest we hold an election to determine who the leader shall be. Unless of course, someone has a better idea ?? If so....lets hear it :-)

Dragon Festival Weekend

Fri, 3 Jul 2009 03:14:07 GMT

This weekend, Canthans celebrate the historic Dragon Festival. Enjoy quests and games and prizes! Visit the Boardwalk, jump into the Dragon Arena, score cool prizes, too. The event takes place in Shing Jea Monastery starting at Noon Pacific (-7 GMT) on Thursday, July 2 and it wraps up at 11:59 PM Pacific on Sunday, July 5.

On the last day of the festival, Emperor Kisu will make appearances every two hours within Shing Jea Monastery to kick off the final reenactment, which features the Empire’s finest actors in traditional Canthan theater masks. If completed successfully, participants will be richly rewarded. If not, well...

To us mere mortals, The emporer will arrive in Shing Jea every 2 hrs. beginning at 2 am Pacific time.

New Alliance

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 19:35:36 GMT

Hi Folks! Well as you may have guessed we are trying our hand again at leading our own alliance! We have tried this a couple times in the past and just couldnt get it going. Well I think the 3rd time is going to be a charm because we have some really great ppl on board. Our 1st guild to join is The Obsidian Monks led by The Blissed. They are currently up to around 30 ppl and are going strong, but Bliss needs all the help she can get, so if you have a minute see if there is anything that you can do. The Second is Heavens Forsaken and is going to be our 1st pvp guild . The 2 guys running it are experienced at pvp and I hope they have a good turn out as well. We have also added a couple non [monk] guilds who are full of great people. They are Leggo my [ECTO] and Out on the [FARM]. Both great guilds. Keep an eye on his page as I will be updating it periodically. Thanks!
