Master Maxim walked in his small but neat room... still finding it a bit hard to walk due to the injures gotten in the fights. He sat down, grabbed some health essences and concentrated his magical powers on him to heal his lighter wounds. Then, he grabbed a piece of paper and a quill, then inked it and started writing his tale... "It was a calm and bright evening in White Stone city, like any other. Birds were singing and merrily flying around, free, and the wind was singing together with the dancing leaves of the trees. All out of a sudden, the skies became dark, heavy clouds covered it all and an evil voice broke out. It was the god of death and destruction, lord Mortos. His threatening voice announced that he was summoning his creatures of the dark to attack Unolas, god of magic and knowledge, on the center of his power: the magic tower of Vermor castle. I suddenly got up, grabbed my sword and ran there. Mortos had granted me great powers, but I didn't agree with his dark and violent ways... besides, Unolas had favored on me, too, so I would not let any innocent souls die that day. On the way, I met my good friends: FoxLupine and LemonStar, from our allied guild. We greeted each other, and each other's presence there lightened up our spirits and woke up our warrior soul. We started running as other mighty warriors and brave apprentices joined us. When we reached Vermor castle, everything was silent... too silent. Suddenly, gargoyles flew down from the skies and skeletons got out from the underground and started a violent melee. One of the skeletons attacked me. A quick blocking and a fast slash blew the creature's head away. Then I had to deal with another two, together this time: as I dodged one of them, I hit one on his back and then threw a back blow to the second skeleton. Then, I raised my head to see my friends had just come in and were fighting too. FoxLupine was dealing with a skeleton, and since he was pretty good at sword fighting, I tought he'd be ok... then I noticed that LemonStar got lost at the maze and was fighting a couple of gargoyles, with his elegant but powerful staff fighting style. I smiled as I recognized Lemon's old "lucky staff". Then, all creatures ran away as Mortos appeared on the scene. I was shocked... I was seeing my god and benefactor in front of my eyes!! He cursed us because of his defeat and disappeared, but it was still not over..." Maxim looked up and took a deep breath. He took some more ink and kept writing... "Then, Mortos' voice showed us that his next objective was attacking Aluwen on her old sacred lands of Tyrnym. FoxLupine, LemonStar and me ran there as fast as we could, followed by a long file of warriors, in order to get the entrance to the ruins of Tyrnym safe. I knew I should be at Mortos' side and specially now we were against our archenemy, Aluwen. But I'll be always righteous in my mind, so I decided to use the power Mortos had granted me to help my good friends, Fox and Lemon, paladins of Aluwen. We reached the entrance of Tyrnym. As we carefully looked around us, the silence was broken suddenly: a group of female orcs ran towards us. It was a really massive attack!! I started fighting one of them -- not much time ago since I started fighting those fiends, but I used that small knowledge to do my best and fight them. I could feel every of their hits through my shields, and every blow of my sword and blood drawing form them made the orcs fight even in a more berserk way!! Then, the orcs stepped back. Fox and Lemon were injured, and I had a light wound on my left leg but was standing still... then, the horror came. A group of mountain chimeran wolves fell upon us. The group of warriors disbanded as we couldn't stand such a thing. I saw how FoxLupine died by one of those fiends, and Lemon ran the opposite way I did. Me and some average fighters hid in the general store, as we cursed ourselves for being too weak to take on the chimeran wolves. Then, I held tight my sword and walked outside. It was already clear, as stronger fighters had made the jobs. Lemon walked back to my side and Fox just reached back from the underworlds. Then, another message from Mortos came up..." Maxim took another deep breath as he remembered the horror of that battle, many unexperienced and not strong enough warriors dying by him, and his friend Fox falling under the chimeran's claws... he got some more ink on his quill and kept going... "Mortos announced another attack on Tirnwood vale, the very center of the elven race. I tought of my friends standing by me, Fox and Lemon, and specially about my guild mistress, JezeBelle. She was an elf, and one of my closest and dearest friends... I couldn't let her down at this time. Hard times were here, and this was my moment!! We all ran to Tirnwood vale. We met up at the center of the city along with the remaining warriors, but had not much time left to get organized: a pack of forest chimerans attacked. Strongest warriors took inmediately over them, then another wave of orcs attacked us, right out of Selain's temple. Then we realized that Selain was supporting Mortos!! Mortos showed up again, his evil laughter broke through the warrior's hearts. Fox and Lemon, fed up with anger and wanting to honor their godess, charged right at the orcs, but died after a couple of battles. I looked at Mortos, didnt' know how to feel right at that time, but I charged again. An orc faced me... males were more ferocious than they say about them... he attacked me. After a couple of punches, my iron shield was gone and my left arm seriously injured. I grabbed my sword with all of my strenght and wide opened the orc's belly. He roared in pain, then punched me right on my face with all of his might. Everything turned black in front of my eyes..." Maxim touched his left arm, still stun and hurting, then kept on writing... "I walked out of the underworld as I pushed the ashes and sulfur out from my shoulders. I ran back to Tirnwood vale and gladly saw how Mortos' forces were defeated. A scout told us that Isla Prima had been invaded by the animals that fled from White Stone, but they were easily taken back by the youngest warriors in the land. Everything was under control. Fox and Lemon walked by me and smiled -- everything was over. I yelled a victory shout and everyone around did so, while we drew our blades and weapons to the air. The battle was gone... for now. But who knows what Mortos keeps for us? I may be one of his paladins and blessed warriors, but I'll never let him harm innocent people. Until then, I'll keep an eye on Seridia, and I'm sure that Fox, Lemon and all of our guildies will too. When Mortos threatens Seridia... W&W and -IC- guilds will fight together again!! for pride!! for honor!! Maxim Ironfist" Maxim led his quill fall in the ink bottle and got up the chair. He slowly walked to his bed and laid down as he lived the whole battle again through his head... -"For pride... for honor... when the hard times come back, we'll fight together once again..." Then, he laid his head down while he smiled... and fell asleep.

Actually, I think that no one agreed with that about "outlaw guilds", and there's really no need for that, so better ignore that point and go ahead on the rest of the plan. Vanyel, I agree that the help methods that exist now are efficent, but not always, and not enough. Sometimes it can take ages to get a reply from #help_me, and you can even not get a reply at all (since mods can be really busy at moments, I think, and players can concentrate more on it since they only worry about gaming), and help channels can end out spammed, making newbies to feel lost through the cross conversations. So, we're not talking about replacing the current helping system, just adding another possibility to it and help out.

Well, my guild mate and best friend around here, riche_anderson, was training on goblins today and died. When other of my guildies, GarfieldClown, got there, Lufia had already taken over the bag and was sitting on it. We all asked her to give the items back, even told her what was in the bag, but all she did was pretend she was afk. Then, she logged out. When GarfieldClown looked in the bag, only a couple of essences, food and a fur cloak were left. riche_anderson lost a steel chain armor, 60 health essences, 6.4k+ gold (he forgot to leave it in storage) and an iron sword. Later on, Lufia came back online and we tried to chat her up. All she did was pretend she was afking. All I want now is to warn everyone around, go train somewhere else if she's around and the spawn there has a possibility of killing you, she'll surely bagjump you I would also encourage our mates and friendly guilds (and those who simpathyse with this) to refuse to trade/buy anything from her and kill her on sight when you see this bagjumper on a pk map. Thank you for your support. Kind regards, Maxim Ironfist (W&W Guild) EDIT: Lufia created the SNES guild and they keep on on thieving activities... please extend the measurements to all of its members, since they're all the same. NO to random thieving in EL.

It's great to see this kind of reaction from everyone I just love when a good idea is welcome and supported ^_^ Thank you, everyone

Indeed, he's human or at least he was last time I found him on Tarsengaard... but yeh, you're right, he should have a special and UNIQUE outfit, the famous joker one I think.

that's it! a good idea at last! We all know there are things we have to live with, people that may make things to us that aren't against the rules but still not nice, just like robbing for example. They can't be punished for that, but there are things the community CAN do about it... silent treatement, refusing to trade/buy, search&destroy on PK maps... I think that at least we can "pay back" that way, and indeed it's not nice. I 100% support this, and not just because we're in the same guild... just because I think that's the right thing to do: defend ourselves. Yours, Maxim Ironfist (W&W guild)
