11.01.2007 Raging fury finishes TSS! by Dalrek
Back from being MIA, so I better make the update I promised everyone. I can only agree with what Damide said on the Tide page. Not even the best movie director could have staged a better finish
than we saw on finishing TSS on Antonius Bayle. It was really a close race.
We think we found out why the instance has been crashing on us and we get to try out our new tactics. Each try getting him lower and lower. We are aware that Tide is working on Lethar at the same time and while I prefer to focus on our own performance and not on other
guilds, I would be lying if I said its not a motivation to me to have a goal and some friendly competition in reaching that goal, in this case being the first guild on AB to finish The Serpents Spine expansion. We go again, getting him below 40%, losing people along the
way...getting him to 30% and things start getting scary....20% and things are out of control. With Beltron at 3% and desperately trying to squeeze out the last DPS we need, we realize we need one more minor adjustment and we have to take the wipe. But instead of pointing
fingers and blaming each other, we can see how close we are and everyone gets that extra boost they need to go again even though its starting to get late and we know it will probably be the last attempt of the night. We can’t let him stay up!
Last try.....We get Beltron the Shadeking down. And not only did we get him down, we destroyed him! You get the feeling that everything is going smooth and when you see the Main Tank still standing proud with Beltron at 20% and below, while not seeing people spamming raid
say with names of those who died, you know its a done deal. The best feeling there is and a nice adrenaline rush. With this last kill done, I’m proud to say that Raging Fury is one of the still very few guilds that have finished The Serpents Spine expansion completely.
Thanks to the competition for keeping us on our toes and pushing us to continuously improve and give our best. And big gratz on Lethar guys.
22.12.2006 Raging Fury enters the X-mas instance! by Dalrek
Happy holidays everyone!
03.12.2006 Raging Fury finishes Ashengate! by Dalrek
After carefull planning, analyzing in our tactics forum and even drawing small pictures of every phase to explain how we wanted to do it, the last event in Ashengate is defeated. Lethars final stand proved to be no match for a focused and wellprepared Raging Fury raid
We did not hit the jackpot on breastplate molds, but I think this is acceptable though
With Ashengate finished, we can now focus 100% on Frostcrypt and have started doing so even more than before. If you want the chance of being a part of Raging Fury as we roll through Frostcrypt and Ashengate, we are still open for applications from exceptional players 24.11.2006 Recruitment is open! by Dalrek
Raging Fury is looking for more players to join our ranks. In these poker times, you could say we are pretty much playing with a full deck of cards, all colors represented and we usually have the winning hand when we raid. However, that does not mean we dont have room to add an ace or two! Generally speaking, we are looking for demiplane level geared players, with around 800 AAs and high playtime.
Exceptions to gear and AAs can be made and each applicant will be judged on an individual basis, but our guidelines should still give you a rough idea of what we would like.
We also took a sneak peek into the Frostcrypt progression line. Even though I dont have any pictures of the major encounters on this side of the progression, you can rest assured that there will be tons and tons of dead giants very soon
So what are we working on at the moment? The big final event in Ashengate, Lethar and Selay. While a challenging event, others have killed him. Raging Fury will soon as well.
03.11.2006 Raging Fury takes a big bite of the TSS cake! by Dalrek
Just a brief update today for those who like to browse other guild sites and keep up to date on progess.
This places us amongst the top 5 guilds to have killed both Stitch and Sothgar and gotten access to north wing instance raids. But that was not enough for us. After entering north wing, we decided to give the first event a go after getting pretty much a full raid inside. Fast forward and the army of Dyn'Leth is scattered on the floor all around us in what can only be described as a pretty chaotic fight. Current status for us at the moment is having defeated the first two events in north wing. Way to go Raging Fury!
Even though the second event for some reason left the corpse empty and no chests popping, we have still gotten a few decent loots along the way to where we are, including the first bow I have actually seen a ranger want in years! I leave you with an assorted selection of goodies from the Raging Fury treasure vault:
Good news! Recruiting is open for selected classes that want to be a part of our fantastic guild. I am not in charge of recruiting and Illandra will be able to answer more correctly exactly what we are looking for, but I do believe 1-2 clerics, rogue, shadowknight, monk and a couple more are on the wishlist. So dont hesitate to send a tell to Illandra if interested 19.09.06 Raging mushrooms! by Dalrek Ahoy landlubbers! Finally the big day has arrived. Wash your eyepatches, grab your cutlass and your favorite bottle of rum, "International Talk like a Pirate Day" is here! Oh, and The Serpents Spine expansion goes live today too.It's been a while since our last update, but hopefully it will not be quite as long before our next. What have we been doing for the past 3 months since completing PoR you ask? Mainly we have been pillaging and plundering Demi-reef of Blood and Deathknell Island over and over, but once we got the opportunity to try some new scenery, we pulled up the anchor and set sail for TSS beta. I must say I am impressed by the determintation of the Raging Fury crew. Showing up on beta with no promises of sweet treasure day after day, is in my humble opinion what seperates this guild from alot of others. It is the willingness to keep going that has made it possible for us to achieve many a serverfirst in the last expansions. Ofcourse the chance to influence the future means alot and I am happy to inform that we have some important stuff going live with this expansion, which has not been mentioned in todays patch message. First and foremost: New illusions! Also please note the nice feature on beta that allows you to see past peoples normal server titles and showing their true nature, revealing people who love Coco Puffs, Lost Beastlords and even Tonfa Queens
Now we are back and ready to make some mobs walk the plank on good old Antonius Bayle. We have a full bloodthirsty crew ready to unleash hell upon TSS. The next weeks will bring much carnage. Grinding is back, new levels and AAs to be gained, new spells to be obtained, new flagging to be done and then we will emerge victorious as always, giants and dragons alike dead at our feet
Like I said, we have a full and strong crew at the moment. But if you think you have got what it takes, we always have room for a few exceptional players.
Exceptional meaning high raidattendance, wellgeared and highly skilled players. As comparison, the average hp in Raging Fury, all classes included, is above
13k, and the average AA count is above 1200. So anguish gear and 500 AA isnt exceptional and wont cut it even if 500 AA is usually enough for some
classes. We might consider DP/DK/RZ geared players with MPG trials and DoN AAs done, good 1 group farmable augments and other indications that you are
dedicated to the game though. Send a tell to Illandra in game, email her on application@lavanet.no or use our PM function. The perfect time for joining is now before we get too far
into flagging for the TSS endzones
As we all know, switching guilds and maybe even server like alot of our members did, is a big step. I can tell you hard facts about our hitpoints and AAs, I
can tell you our average age (educated guess late 20s), percentage of males vs females in guild (approximately 25% girls) and how many US vs euro players
we have (50ish% scandinavians, 30ish% other euros and around 10% US players), but some things cant really be explained without letting you take a peak into
the daily life of Raging Fury. So to show you how nice people we really are, I present to you.....quote-o-rama!
Thats all for this time mateys! We will return soon with some nice screenshots of dead TSS critters.
19.06.06 Prophecy of Ro completed! by Dalrek While the ongoing World Cup soccer has made us adjust our schedule to ensure good turnout and focus, it hasnt stopped us from kicking ass. The World Champions still remain to be found, but Im proud to announce that the european champions have been found! Once again Raging Fury finishes an expansion among the top 5 serverwide. Although we were not serverwide first this time, I must say I am proud of our performance the last couple weeks.Even knowing that a "nerf" was incoming on the Enforcer event in Deathknell, we have been throwing ourself at the event in the original state instead of waiting for it to be made easier and I am confident we would soon have joined the few tough ones, Assent and Tide, who beat this event in the old version. Deep respect to our friends in Tide on that acomplishment and I wish we could have proven we could beat the same version before we killed Ayonae Ro. As usual I will refrain from whining and flaming too much about DK, I believe it to be more contructive to make sure the right changes go into the game as soon as possible. We all agree enforcer event was nerfed too hard. To a guild that has worked hard on beating the old version, the new one is just a tad too easy. We found event #2 to be very enjoyable and probably pretty well-balanced in its current state. About event #3, I can only echo what has been said on other boards. Some say Ayonae Ro is also too easy. I tend to disagree. Atleast it seem you can do it 2 different ways, where one is much easier. We won doing it the hard way, so it seemed like a pretty good fight to me.
It took us several tries over a couple days to get it right and have the right people we needed for it, but the outcome was inevitable. In a race
against time before too many logged and with people semi focusing on watching the Spain soccer match (bad boys! bonk!), we decided to give it one
last shot before calling it a night. Testing a new tactic, we started the fight and pretty fast you could see that people were actually performing
much better than our earlier tries. It felt right. Surely she would die? About 30 mins later the cheering filled guildchat as we put a stopper to
the wannabe karaokeesinger that is Ayonae Ro
Not only did we bag us a serverfirst and serverwide 4th kill, we also got 3 brand new loots not seen before (Illandra tried to loot 3 tonfas, but was
distracted long enough for us to actually get something good!)
We are looking forward to going back to Deathknell and if you want to join us there, recruiting is currently open. We are looking specifically for the following: 01.05.06 Ding dong the Zek is dead! by Dalrek Here it is as promised: Sullon Zek finally bites the dust after 3 weeks, 16 attempts, and 4 zone crashes, which made us drop Razorthorn for a week. But the encounter got fixed and we reentered Razorthorn determined to test out our new plan which we were confident would work, based on the progress we made before the fight decided to break.Sunday night it became evident that we had a working strategy and we only needed some minor tuning in terms of execution. So this Monday night, we returned with an even better composed and better prepared raid force than the night before, and it paid off tremendously. Engaging just after 8:00 pm, we performed a near flawless execution with only 5 or 6 deaths during the following 20-minute brawl. I must say it was a pretty intense, yet a very smooth fight, even though our main tank utilized his Divine Intervention 8 times during the fight, which made me kind of jumpy. (Can’t be helped, he is a lizard.) In the end we came out on top and then went into Austin Powers' secret disco room to celebrate, as you can see below.
So now with Sullon Zek down, the real challenge is ahead of us. Trying to figure out how to actually get into Ayonae Ro's domain; Deathknell, Tower of Dissonance. Of course everyone is eager to see more of what we can expect in the next weeks to come, so we decided to trigger this little expedition to take a look.
And there she was, Ayonae Ro in all her glory. It kind of seems she isn’t doing too well, so we will have to sort things out for her, as we always do.
I can’t say that we learned a lot on this first trip into Deathknell, but stay tuned for some new, updated progress… hopefully. 10.04.06 Raging Fury meets Sullon Zek! by Dalrek I am a slacker. I admit it. In our last update I promised you some Theater of Blood news soon and now it has been a month. I am sure you have seen plenty of pictures of the theater mobs dead by now, so since we have moved on to other stuff anyway, how about we skip that.Since the last update, we were lucky and persistant enough to find the infamous Sverag mob up and get our access to Razorthorn, tower of Sullon Zek a couple weeks ago. That spawn has now been fixed so it is actually reasonable it seems, so instead of a pointless rant on that topic, I will save my ammo for later We have been pretty busy lately. Suchun went from a hard event to being a 15 min event without casualties besides a frog once in a while and Ghost rolled over pretty fast too after a couple test runs. Unfortunately we havent been back to Suchun for a while and Ghost is not a good fight to get pictures in, so you will have to do with these
Moving on from Ghost, we met Snowtail and got stuck there for a while. The silly lockout in the zone was not very helpful. I wonder
how long it would have taken for people to kill Overlord Mata Muram if they had gotten lockout for all of Anguish as soon as they
killed Keldovan. So we lost a few days waiting for lockouts on something we didnt kill. Eventually Snowtail bit the dust and in a
way reminds me of Suchun now. The last 2 kills were done on first try and now you wonder why it took you so long to figure out a working
strategy. Too bad when you get 2 necks on Ghost and then kill Snowtail and get the exact same neck from him also. Fortunately the kill
wasnt about loot as much as getting to try the next mob in the zone
Which brings us to the real thing..Sullon Zek herself. Again, due to lockout, we are not getting as much time to work on the event as we would
like. When you run out of time after killing Ghost, Snowtail and a couple attempts on Sullon, you have to wait 3 days for the dogs to repop and
then kill them again to get another chance at Sullon. Clever...
I am sure eventually our hard work will pay off though and we have seen some progress atleast. Give us some time to figure out the mechanics of
what looks to be pretty unique fight and I will get a corpse for you as soon as possible.
01.03.06 Prophecy of Ro goes live! by Dalrek The Prophecy of Ro expansion is upon us and even though we have no news worthy of replacing Mayong, I guess it's only fair to those browsing various guildsites in search of news on the expansion, to offer a bit of help. First off let me apologize for for this update not being up to its usual standards, but our wordwizard and fearless leader Nineveh has decided to dedicate his energy to RL endevours. Either that or Svartrot ate him. In both cases we wish him the best of luck on his future journey and may it be filled with as much excitement for him as he made EQ and Raging Fury for those of us who had the pleasure of having him as leader.As far as Prophecy of Ro goes, I wont get into the whole risk vs reward thing here. Lets just say dragons aren't what they used to be. We took down Porthio the Secondborn, but unfortunately I dont have any pictures from that fight at all, so instead I will leave you with one of the Eldarr mobs. Nothing interesting from that fight really, neither in terms of difficulty nor rewards, but it adds some color to the frontpage.
Moving on we find the one mob that put up a fight so far, although he still bit the dust after a few runs to figure him out.
This mob actually gave us some nice loots. If I remember right, it sold better than our demiplane raids who tend to have most loot rotting. Somehow I think we will be seeing Daosheen alot more in the future
   Although we lost some people to the natural progress of people moving on to RL stuff, we also got some nice new additions to our current team and we are going as strong as ever, determined to put Mayong to rest once again in his new incarnation. So therefore I wont spend too much time on this update, because I got the feeling that it will be updated very soon as we continue to progress through PoR. Expect some Theater of Blood updates in the very near future. We have a very limited number of spots open to certain classes and exceptional players, so if you want to be a part of Raging Fury, this is your chance. Check out our current needs and contact Illandra in-game if interested and qualified 04.01.06 Mayong Mistmoore slain! by Nineveh
Mayong Mistmoore transcended into full divinity tonight as his earthly form was slain in the Demi-Plane of Blood.
Many nights have been spent amid Mayong's most trusted council, and despite making continous progress on the event, many of
us could not hide our frustration when we wiped with the master of dreadspire at 2% nearing midnight.
Supposedly the effects of Mayongs elaborate scheme should be evident in every zone of the game, though sadly this aspect of the encounter appeared broken. Action screenshots are all but lacking unfortunately, as I was rather preoccupied during the encounter, hopefully we can ameliorate on this in the future.
         A resonant and acoustic chime was heard through the keep of Dreadspire tonight as the unnamed bard finally witnessed a performance that matched his expectations, and post his ballads being recited properly, the forgotten artist could leave the Demi-Plane at peace.
This event requires an immense amount of preparation and coordination, and we have been throwing ourselves relentlessly at it for about a week now, though sadly we still have to restart the expedition each time we wish to attempt the event anew. The latter portion of the encounter is more intense than anything we have ever experienced in the game before, and I would not be surprised if that part is tuned down significantly. Despite the late hour we decided to visit the master who beckoned us for some company, but as of yet we can only provide you with one picture. Rest assured more will follow tomorrow though.
   06.12.05 Roley DeFarge slain! by Nineveh
Roley DeFarge was once known as the greatest leader the paladin order of Marr had ever seen, though despite being the recipient
of acclaim and flattery, Roley sought to further his name beyond what any mortal could possibly achieve. When failing to
return from Dreadspire Keep, a hunting party including his own wife Adrianna found that he had been enslaved by the master residing
within, sharing fates with both Tris Wallow and Devlin Rochester. Roley displayed his complete devotion to the undead by slaying his own wife to please his new master.
While Sanguimanus the Redfang offered the greatest challenge of the first tier, Roley DeFarge is without a quiver of doubt the toughest encounter in the second, and should he remain in his present incarnation not many will overcome this ordeal any time soon. Only the performer stands between Raging Fury and the unwreathing of the master, and hopefully we will be able to introduce you all to his eluding presence shortly.
    01.12.05 Devlin Rochester slain! by Nineveh
Thousands of years ago, Devlin Rochester set forth to slay the greatest abomination the world had ever seen,
namely May.. the master of Dreadspire Keep. His accidental killing of a young woman thought to be a lycanthrope
gnawed at him from within, and ridden by guilt he was overwhelmed by the ominous power that resided in the Demi-Plane
of Blood, ending up serving the very presence he had come to vanquish.
   Anthas decided to purchase everything of value, but was graceful enough to thank the guild for aiding him. I was not playing from my regular computer at the time of Devlin's death, thus one could almost believe that it was Zorrbald who had provided the pictorial material, hence the old world models. 
The festering lycanthrope that had lingered within Tris Wallow III for close to three thousand years was purged for the
first time ever tonight on Antonius Bayle as the second tier of the Demi-Plane of Blood lost its diplomatic tactician.
Torn from within by the remnants of what was once a brilliant strategic mind, Tris sought to rid herself of what had sadly
dissipated her to a state of insanity.
Tris Wallow was a highly interesting encounter, and much to Imothep's (our local champion of lore) approval the lore leading up to
this event played a significant part in overcoming it. The reflagging component of the Demi-Plane was also discovered tonight,
and a sigh of relief was heard when we all understood that curse progression flagging is a thing of the past.
    We are still looking for a few dedicated clerics or dark drachnids to join our guild, if you are either, do not hesitate to contact Illandra in game, or utilize the private message function on our forum. Note that dark drachnids are expected to attend a mezzbreaking course prior to commencing their potential trial. 20.11.05 Sanguimanus the Redfang slain! by Nineveh
For close to a week now, our tactical approach to the Redfang encounter has remained unaltered, though sadly we were
not able to field an optimal raidforce until tonight. Sunday seems to be day of reckoning for our guild, our
best prior attempt at this particular encounter was, you guessed it, last Sunday, and with every class accounted for,
hopes and expectations were both high.
There are still several aspects of this fight that we can improve upon, but an ambiance of euphoria quickly spread
through the guild as realisation of victory dawned upon those present tonight. The images of Redfang are all but
lacking, so we will also include two random pictures taken during our exploration of the second tier in the Demi-Plane
tonight. While none are unique, I for one have always enjoyed seeing pictures of new and unbeaten mobs displayed on
the various newspages of diverse Everquest guilds throughout the years.
We are still looking for a few clerics to compliment our healing branch, please review the forum for details, or contact our newly appointed recruitment officer, Illandra, in game.
  
Raging Fury is currently looking for a few clerics to join our ranks. The two primary traits we are looking for is high activity and ability. Please review the cleric requirements in our application section on the forum, though note that the alternate advancement listed is merely a preferred amount, not necessarily a mandatory number.
Two thirds of the Wailing Sisters found themselves banished from the Demi-Plane of Blood tonight as intrigues and conspiracy
on a level that even surpasses the average female cleric one(!) was revealed amid the bridesmaids of Tserrina. There is no description
that properly describes this event, but it was definitely different from any encounter we have experienced as of yet, interesting
enough to keep 50 players online past midnight, something that rarely occurs in Raging Fury. Redfang is all that locks
the Demi-Plane to its current phase in time and hopefully his imminent demise will shift the reality of the projected plane
enough to reveal the second tier shortly.
When undergoing the learning process of new encounters, it is always interesting to see what potential aid you might get from your fellow guildmembers, in this case however, they were not exactly helpful.
   
06.11.05 Hatchet the Torturer slain! by Nineveh
Unlike his esthetic equivalents in Anguish, Hatchet used every pound to his advantage and through mere
girthsize repeatedly plowed through a blithely unaware raidforce within his chambers of torture in the
Demi-Plane of blood. This encounter is without a quiver of doubt the most entertaining fight we have
seen for a long long time, and while the majority of Demi-Plane still remains wreathed, I feel safe in
proclaiming that this is so far the best encounter in the Depths of Darkhollow expansion.
That is where the praise ends however, one should always give praise when it is due, as should one
always relay the reciprocal when needed. For more than a month now, the Demi-Plane of blood has remained
the most poorly designed, and the least thought through zone in the game, ranging from named encounters
that render themselves totally unfunctional, to mob respawns that literally makes it all but impossible
to get from one location to the next within the zone without utilizing a magician corpse, a few necromancers
for ressurrection purposes and obviously a willing batch of knights to lead the way.
  
24.10.05 Zi-Thuuli of the Granite Claw slain by Nineveh
We are currently looking for an additional 4-5 members to fill our ranks, check the recruitment section for further details, Magicians do not hesitate to apply!
However, forcing a guild to constantly clear respawns in an instanced zone in hopes of spawning their desired target
is all but extremely disconsolate. Our endeavour tonight lasted for aproximately two hours, where 75% of that time
was monotone, repetitive clearing of respawns. When Zi-Thuuli finally decided to make an appearance, he reassured us
of the fact that the next time he graced us with his fleeing presence, would thankfully be the last. Gargoyles are
known to be deceptive however, and surprisingly enough, a fourth meeting was deemed a necessity.
 
Following the trend of our nostalgy video releases, this update will feature our very first video ever made, namely a compilation from a Tacvi clearing in mid April or May if I recall correctly. You can download the video by clicking here 02.10.05 Master Vule The silent Tear slain! by Nineveh
Master Vule the Silent Tear was slain tonight in what can only be
described as the epitome of execution. The vampiric guardian of the
Demi-Plane offered little to no resistance to an amply prepared raidforce, and through
Vule's eyes Raging Fury obtained access to the equivalent of Tacvi, Anguish and
the Plane of Time, namely the final raiding zone of the Depths of Darkhollow expansion.
Flitzer was chosen for the mandatory scouting of our new raiding territory and managed to
secure the following screenshots prior to calling it a night. While the majority of the
latest expansion has offered new models and unique encounters I must utter my disappointment
in regards to seeing the exact same model that was utilized in the endgame stage of the Omens of War expansion grace
the final raiding frontier in the Darkhollow expansion.
Some of us are still hoping to see Mayong Mistmoore step forth to announce himself as the true
master of Dreadspire Keep, and truth be told, seeing a 400 ton Warcraft tauren copy amid vampiric
nobility is all but appalling.
A few months back we thought it would be an idea to make some movies that covered the encounters we were currently
doing. Unfortunately, so did most of the other guilds out there, thus we decided to withhold our videos until they
had ripened properly, in other words, until they had become vintage. Our two first videos document an Anguish
round and a fight against Vishimtar. My trial version of SwishMAX sadly expired, otherwise I would have fixed the
Anguish clearing time to 2 hours and 29 minutes, a time we have yet to beat. Download the videos here: 23.09.05 Welcome to Dreadspire! by Nineveh Sendaii the Hive Queen is dead and the path to Dreadspire has been revealed, although the two events are not necessarily related.
We are currently progressing through the initial parts of the Depths of Darkhollow storyline, and while none of the encounters mentioned here have been much of a challenge, relieving Vishimtar and Overlord Mata Muram of their 5 month reign of our newspage was way overdue.
Admittedly the launch of DoD transpired sans too much adversity, albeit when encounters
yield 54 day lockout timers instead of 4, this is definitely something that requires immediate
attention. Also please make sure that those unlucky enough to be zoning from an untimely death
as their guild completes an encounter actually receives the reward for the raid in question. Unfortunately
I was not able to attend the Emperor Draygun and Council of Nine raids, thus the pictorial coverage
is somewhat limited. Further updates to follow.
17.06.05 New frontpage by Nineveh
Post years of unchallenged reign, the newspage of Raging Fury was finally slain today, replaced with a
graphical innovation that in my opinion is a vaste improvement of our informational relay channel
to the Everquest Community.
Despite installing a php based news updating system allowing for other members to update once in a while, there
seems to be an eerie feel of reluctance towards accepting remotely connected to public display. Thus the readers
will have to endure my rants for the time being. The two images included above were chosen merely as they are the
main protagonists of our weekly raiding agenda, and to prevent the first update on the new page to consist solely
of text. As insignificant as it might seem, the return of the Circle of Drakes event was highly appreciated, and
added a tinge of something new to an all but redundant schedule. The announcement of the new expansion arrived not a
minute too late, and as always before, new content
lures the community into a state of eager acceptance, brooding silently whilst awaiting different challenges.
         Added by Uren, last but not least: 
Two words more than adequately sum up the new Vishimtar event, chain reaction, and despite the fact that I feel those words alone would suffice for an update, one has to give the developers credit for the way they have ameliorated this event. Every individual, regardless of class, play a vital role during the encounter, and should one of them falter slightly, the path downhill is relentless. We can only hope that the upcoming expansion will offer events similar to this one, it was highly enjoyable.
Recruitment wise we are currently looking for a shaman or two, apart from meeting our basic aa requirements all we deem a necessity is that you actually show up for raids. Our narrowing wizard branch would also benefit from an addition or two, please inquire from either Rahvin or Lilchantress ingame if Raging Fury seems an interesting choice. All we demand from potential future wizard members is that their back item surpasses Skyllah's cloak of combustion. Opening the quote session is Faernx suggesting a new logo for the guild.
       28.04.05 Overlord Mata Muram slain! by Nineveh Overlord Mata Muram fell for the first time on Antonius Bayle tonight, and with his dying wail, the entire continent of Kuua trembled visibly, from Dranik’s scar to Riftseekers. Those that have already beaten this mob have more than adequately covered the basics of the fight itself, though personally I will not praise any encounter that ultimately bases the outcome somewhat on mere luck. Certain occurrences throughout the endeavour, based solely on luck of the draw, will render a wipe all but inevitable.
Amongst the favourite excuses used during this encounter were; “I clicked the mask, really, I did!”, “I panicked and could not find my dodge button, but atleast I landed a heal instead!” and last but not least, the overall winner; “I was browsing for a cloak upgrade on lucy and missed it”. One can only begin to guess who the latter excuse belongs to.   
As many of you might have noticed, our message board no longer exists. Our point system database along with our message boards were both hosted at a former guildmembers work location. While we still remain uncertain as to why this tantrum was thrown, rest assured that we will have a new message board + point system up and running shortly. Thankfully, alot of our newer recruits have IT backgrounds, and as such, I am actually glad we will finally get this over and done with, this has been a "threat" hanging over those of us that still play for far too long. Personally I never expected the people involved to go this far, but times of adversity display the true color of people I guess. Either way, this newspage will be the primary source of information for the next week or two. And lastly, for the worried members, I managed to copy the current point standings prior to the database dissipating, so worry not.
30.03.05 Minor update- written by Nineveh
No particular reason for this update really, I for one got fairly fed up with watching the same old Vishimtar
picture each time I loaded the page. Speaking of Vishimtar, we are still doing our upmost to kill him in a
position that might actually resemble a decent corpseshot, though as of yet, such an oppertunity has all but
eluded us.
       
07.03.05 Vishimtar the fallen slain - written by Nineveh
A decaying dragon withered to the unrecognizable by the corruption festering beneath the mountains awaited a wary raidforce amid the eerie setting of the nest. Summoning an array of undead servants to his aid, Vishimtar sought to spread the taint that seemingly had consumed the once lithe dragon, to no avail.
  
27.02.05 Yar'Lir slain, the nest opened - written by Nineveh
Still mostly praise to the Dragons of Norrath expansion, albeit the lockout timers are somewhat excessive. Having
to wait for nearly four days prior to repeating a 24 player event is all but disconsolate. Having said that,
most of the encounters we've attempted so far are highly enjoyable, most definitely the Guardian of the Sands
event, which proves the programmers have taken an innovative path in regards to expedition design and strategy.
Through unlocking The Nest, we obtained access to the following monstrosity, it seems the Yar'Lir model is a popular
choice for high end DoN mob design. Traits found amid the earlier Gates of Discord encounters were recognized upon
playing around with the event somewhat, and hopefully we will return soon to engage the guardian of the dragon spawning
grounds.
  
22.02.05 Tirranun & Rikkukin slain - written by Nineveh
Prior to the Dragons of Norrath release, the general opinion was that the content of the new expansion
would merely be an extention of the adventures found in the Lost Dungeons of Norrath, initially festering
a hesitation amongst the players when deciding whether or not they would actually purchase the expansion.
Raidwise we have attempted two of the five dragons residing in the newly discovered lands beneath Lavastorm
Mountains, more precisely Tirranun and Rikkukin. The latter supposedly offered quite an amusing encounter, though
sadly I was not able to participate in the fight. Off the bat, Dragons of Norrath appears to be an entertaining
addition to the Everquest saga, dissipating the faineant periods between actual raiding content, while having
upgrades that will sough after by high end as well as low end players.
16.02.05 Recruiting Clerics and Enchanters! - written by Nineveh
As the topic indicates, we are currently seeking active CLERICS and ENCHANTERS to bolster our ranks. Cross server
applicants are encouraged to apply, the two traits we hold in high regard are activity + ability. Id est, high
playing times, and preferrably a certain amount of alternate advancement. For further information about the
application process, please review our recruitment section on the forums or contact any officer in game (Anthas, Frolaak,
Uren,Xack,Karde,Nineveh).
  Have you ever experienced an applicant constantly making up excuses for not attending raids? Most guilds probably have, though I think it fairly safe to assume that none bares even the slightest resemblance towards what you are about to witness below. Without further ado, Raging Fury proudly presents, Ravjack! -Ravjack tells the raid, 'sorry about that 3min afk. daughter was choking in her sleep. silly cow decided to chew her teddy bear' -Ravjack tells the raid, 'guys i ned to camp, electric cut out and im on battery charger atm. will be back when it comes back up. -Ravjack tells the guild, 'still time to make Qvic? sorry i tried at 7pm to log on and it wouldnt let me so went to the pub for a drink =)' -Ravjack tells the guild, 'this is ravjacks better half .. hes had to go out on an emergency, im gating him out just in case ..... he will be on later' -Ravjack tells the guild, 'fookin poodle pulled my monitor power out' -Ravjack tells you, 'i know your not gonna be happy but im gonna have to go now, baby milk was left in granada and daughter needs a feed in 2hrs so i have to go next town down to buy milk. sorry ill cya laters' -Ravjack tells you, 'sorry about friday had a phone call from friend who broke down outside valencia city. had to go pick his family up and take em home' -Ravjack tells the guild, 'afk need to walk dog b4 this raid or wife will skin me' -Ravjack tells the guild, 'im on wifes laptop atm. my pc still wont let me in. damn fookin sony and ther equick fixes' -Ravjack tells the guild, 'sorry about that guys. i went ld with /rewind command then i couldnt get in with login being down
06.02.05 Tunat'Muram Cuu Vuaux slain - written by Nineveh
In what can only be described as a way overdue kill, Tunat'Muram was defeated tonight, marking
the completion of the Gates of Discord expansion, aproximately one year after its official
release. Raging Fury practically spent weeks within this zone during the prime of a now
obsolete expansion, but progression was thoroughly halted by Pixtt Kretv Kraxt, a fate
shared by many a guild serverwide. Rumours of our upcoming victory actually caused a few
dormant members of the guild to make an appearance, making tonights raid even more enjoyable.
Truth be told, this encounter was far from as difficult as one might expect, though it definitely
followed the trend of the other encounters found within the zone, offering a much needed respite
from the weekly Anguish routine.     
30.01.05 Arch Magus Vangl slain - written by Nineveh
Arch Magus Vangl proved himself to be quite the adversary, especially faced against a
raidforce in deep contemplation of what unheard of strategy to apply against
this particular encounter. Several intricate battleplans were made, and all found unworthy.
During our last attempt of the evening, as our initial plan was on the brink of failure
once again, a rather blunt statement was uttered in our raidchannels; Merely zerg the lummox...
Somewhat baffled that our medieval approach of brute force was the key to winning, potential
corpseshots all but eluded me, and hopefully the screenshots of Mata Muram will suffice for now,
despite their limited quality. As the first quote below will clearly outline, we were somewhat
uncertain whether or not the nemesis of Anguish himself was initially aggro, or triggered through
a brief display of exquisite lore, thus we sent our blithely unaware monk Karde in to investigate with
the clear instruction of merely checking if the mob was indeed triggered.    
27.01.05 Tormentor event (Jelvan) completed - written by Nineveh
Countless hours has of late been spent amid the remnants of Jelvan's nightmare in the
lower depths of Anguish. Haunted sans comparison by the three ellusive Tormentors, we
have been throwing ourselves repeatedly at a seemingly relentless foe, though post one
of our later attempts, we discerned one of the vital aspects that eventually yielded
the key to solving this event.
   Merely one quote this time, though the content alone is disturbing enough to justify the limited amount. For explanations
feel free to inquire from Finnemann ingame. 
17.01.05 Corpseshot galore! - written by Nineveh
Alot of people have complained about the lack of corpseshots displayed on the page of late. Personally I thought
an action picture spoke volumes well beyond a corpse stained across the zone interior, though upon receiving
a few comments, in addition to reading the latest news posting on Darkwind's
frontpage, I decided to explore the possibility of directly influencing the position of the Anguish nameds once
merely a few percentage of their lifebar remained. Much to Uren's disdain I might add, how could one even consider to let an AE
rampage mob roam blithely through our raidforce!
10.01.05 Recruiting clerics! - written by Nineveh
We are currently looking for a few clerics to join our healing branch. Healing is an essential part
of every raid encounter, and to progress accordingly, our numbers need to increase somewhat.
03.01.05 Warden Hanvar slain! - written by Nineveh
Twice before in the history of Everquest has the guild stood against an encounter as disconsolate as Warden
Hanvar within the Citadel of Anguish, its predecessors being the Rathe Council amid the height of the Planes of Power,
followed by a more familiar Zun'Muram Tkarish Zyk. All of the endeavours mentioned above had the distinct ability to
totally halt progression for quite a significant amount of time, albeit one factor set Warden Hanvar apart, namely the recent
exodus from the game caused by the allure of newer "improved" games.
21.11.04 Final phase of recruiting - written by Nineveh
Our numbers have stabilized somewhat of late, and currently we are merely looking to fill the final positions
needed in our guild. The following classes are of particular interest:
09.11.04 Let us add an innate fd ability to all GoD / OoW mobs, and name the effect: Greeting of Taelosian Discord! - written by Nineveh
Following the complaints of the difficulty, or lack thereof, that met the raiding playerbase once obtaining access to
the Citadel of Anguish was eptly dealth with in last weeks patch. Although I much agreed with several others that have
voiced their opinion on various forums and news pages, I must say that I am somewhat disappointed in regard to the
method of increasing the difficulty on certain mobs.
04.11.04 Recruiting Warriors - written by Nineveh
Nothing noteworthy to report progression wise of late, though we have surprisingly enough been rather busy with reflagging
necessities for Anguish. Sony was applauded for their initiative with adding keys to the named loot table within the
final tier zone in Anguish, though one thing they neglected to ascertain, was that they actually worked as intented. Currently
these keys do not function at all, and merely take up inventory space, though upon contacting those responsible, we were assured
this was an issue that would be corrected in the upcoming patch.
    
25.10.04 Ture slain - written by Nineveh
Our second trip to Anguish proved to be a prosperous one, the citadel having recently been subject to an itemization post
a corrupt database, initially yielding merely rubies in place of the augments listed below. However the pathing was most
definitely overlooked as many a lightning warrior projected itself randomly across the zone, admittedly aiding us rather
significantly in regards to pulling, though still an issue that could easily have been corrected in todays patch. Chimeras
appear to be a trendy addition to Omens of War, and in a fight highly reminiscent of Chailak, Ture fell tonight in what
can only be described as a surprisingly easy encounter.
       
 
22.10.04 Keldovan the Harrier slain - written by Nineveh
Tedious only begins to describe the process of obtaining individual access to Anguish for most of our members. Despite
this disconsolate factor, we managed to produce a raidforce consisting of 40 Raging Fury members, and ventured into the
Sea of Anguish for the first time friday evening. Not really knowing what to expect from the final tier in the Omens of
War expansion, our goal was merely exploring the initial part of the zone, though after encountering our first named
nemesis, we deemed this mob quite possible to best with our numbers, the result, a serverfirst slaying of Keldovan the Harrier.
   
18.10.04 Welcome to the Citadel of Anguish - written by Nineveh
After many a tiresome night in the trial chambers of the Muramite proving grounds, the Mastery of Mind was finally
defeated tonight. Countless attempts have been made at this all but arduous event, and more than one tactician found
themselves on the brink of frustration post a thorough ravaging from the ever present feran inhabitants. Another
serverfirst, though marginal, secured by the guild, and through Zwickel I was able to venture somewhat into the
depths of Anguish, merely to provide a more enjoyable graphical aspect. Hopefully there will be news of interest
to report from the end zone of Omens shortly.
     
11.10.04 Pixxt Kretv Krakxt, the phonetical impossibility slain - written by Nineveh
Warden of the north, Pixxt Kretv Krakxt was defeated tonight in what I believe to be a serverwide second kill. "The insano snake" as we have taken to calling this mob is obviously tuned for a level 70 raidforce,
which is primarily the reason for its limited amount of demises. With the availability of new more rewarding content in the
form of Omens of War, Tacvi is far from a priority to most guilds currently, though those of us that have endured Tacvi for
several months insisted on revisiting the end zone of GoD once the guild in general had peaked in levels.
 
     
Far from a dearth of updates lately, and successfully completing the trial of endurance most definitely requires yet another news posting. The guild was left laving after having wavered somewhat in the resolve needed to overcome this trial, though after compiling what we learned in our prior attempts, our tactic was executed sans flaw and yielded our fifth trial rune, eagerly awaiting the Mastery of Mind. The latter appears to be the obvious bottleneck, though we have made some interesting discoveries there as well, stay tuned for further progression updates.       
04.10.04 Three new epics completed - written by Nineveh
Nothing noteworthy to report progression wise, though as my last update was all but lacking in regards to eyecandy, I give you
Uren and Myrian, respectively wielding the first bard and druid epic on Antonius Bayle. Also worth noting is Elrriks completion of the warrior epic, which most definitely needs a graphical overhaul.
 
03.10.04 Mastery of Tactics completed - written by Nineveh
The Projection of Tactics trial was successfully beaten today after numerous learning attempts.
Many an oaf found themselves aptly struck down by Kyvs with an accuracy that even outshone Anthas's performance.
For reasons beyond my comprehension I was selected as one of the Kyvs primary targets, and unfortunately spent most of this
encounter attempting to evade quiver after quiver, deeming the
visual aspect of this update to be somewhat lacking.   
01.10.04 Mastery of Power completed - written by Nineveh
Post the last update we ventured into Tacvi in hopes of overwhelming Pixxt Kretv Kraxt with our newly obtained
level 70 raidforce, though much to our disdain, five mere levels was far from sufficient to best this highly disconsolate
encounter. Despite not defeating the fonetical impossibility, we made solid progress and managed to endure the infamous
fourth wave of hatchlings. Hopefully there will be an obituary to read here shortly.
      We also finished two new class epics, namely the enchanter and cleric one, Zourite and Einon respectively posing alongisde Zorrbald, who was thoroughly upset for being left out of the last update.
26.09.04 Omens of War exploration - written by Nineveh
Aproximately one and a half week into the expansion most of our guild have breached the level 70 barrier, and without further ado,
our exploration of discord commenced tonight within the Muramite Proving grounds. So far these guild trials have proven themselves
to be highly innovative, offering both a challenging and enjoyable raid event. Our first completed trial was the test of specialization
which was completed sans too much adversity on our second attempt, though admittedly, the lockout timer on these trials can be
somewhat of an annoyance.
       New epic quests were also introduced with the Omens of War expansion, and like many a guild we have gotten a few of them completed, namely the Shaman, Wizard and Beast Lord one. Zorrbald has also wielded his new weaponary, though I had not been able to catch him online for a brief photo session, thus we will have to manage without the latest iksar fashion.
   
15.09.04 Omens of War, let the carnage begin - written by Nineveh
In lieu of the anticipated Omens of War patch, six of us toyed with the idea of making a dedicated exp team attempting
to reach level 70 in the shortest amount of time possible. Once obtaining the first level we decided to continue our
session as long as the experience gained remained somewhat equivalent to the starting amount. Personally I would never
have expected myself to have the endurance to complete such a task, though as the night passed by, we found ourselves
still online, the result being Mitnick, Bendail, Nineveh, Myrian, Missbailey and Frezzer being the first six to adorn
themselves with the Omens class title, respectively listed in chronological order. 
09.09.04 The Gates of Discord - written by Nineveh
In the red corner, still undefeated after 785 encounters serverwide, the warden of the north,
the taelosian roadblock, the phonetical impossibility, Pixxt Kretv Kraxt!
18.08.04 Zun'Muram Kvxe Pirik slain - written by Nineveh
The Zun'Muram bloodline found itself at the brink of extinction tonight as the
second two headed monstrosity, and one of the selected models in Taelosia which does
not resemble a goat, fell tonight, marking the halfway completion of Tacvi.
This particular encounter was supposedly quite intriguing, with various aspects of
strategy deemed a necessity to successfully complete the event. Progression appears
to be swift of late, thanks to Myrian and Knekker for providing the visual portion
of this update.
 
17.08.04 Pixxt Riel Tavas & Zun'Muram Yihst Vor slain - written by Nineveh
Two additional named mobs fell within Tacvi tonight, post the dismissal of a thoroughly
nerfed Pixxt Xxeric Kex. Several preliminary attempts eventually yielded the solution
to defeating Pixxt Riel Tavas, followed, much to our surprise, by a rather easy dissipation
of Zun'Muram Yihst Vor, proving to be far less resistant than his esthetic equivalent
in Txevu.
As I was prevented from attending this raid personally, pictorial coverage was secured
by Knekker and Zourite, much obliged to the both of you. Further exploration of Tacvi
to follow.    
05.08.04 Pixxt Xxeric Kex slain - written by Nineveh
Pixxt Xxeric Kex was defeated today for the first time on Antonius Bayle. Authentic access to Tacvi
obviously made quite the difference, and the fight itself was all but a haughty display of superiority. Our prior
attempt ended with our nemesis at 2%, thus with heightened anticipation we blithely charged knowing
victory was definitely at hand.
 
04.08.04 Zun'Muram Tkarish Zyk slain - written by Nineveh
The guardian of Tacvi fell tonight amid the remnants of his two inquisitors
and the elusive ritualists. Many a night has been spent within these chambers
attempting to complete what might possibly be the most poorly designed encounter
on the Taelosian continent. Rendering litterally 75% of the raidforce useless during
parts of this event, is far from what makes this game enjoyable.
      
24.06.04 High Priest Nkosi Bakari slain - written by Nineveh
High Priest Nkosi Bakari fell within the caves of Txevu tonight, in what was confirmed
by developer Rashere to be a serverwide second kill of this particular mob. Having
literally spent every available raid night in the High Priest's all but charming presence,
this was without a quiver of doubt, the most challenging adversary we have ever
defeated, though also one of the most entertaining.
Twenty minutes post the point of engage, a weary raidforce was seen uttering a display of euphoria knowing their week long dedication to this sole event had yielded access to Zun'Muram Tkarish Zyk. One attempt, merely for educational purposes, was made against the gatekeeper of Tacvi, though suffice to say, we hardly dented the monstrosity. Albeit being a unique high end weapon, the monk staff had far from a noteworthy appearance, however, having received inquiries, behold Karde in all his... glory?
19.06.04 Sandgarden completed - written by Nineveh
The second trial of Txevu is commonly known as the Sandgarden,
this highly innovative name originated due to the fact that
the room housing this particular event is covered with, you
guessed correctly, sand. Based on the lore triggering
this event, I personally feel something reminiscent of the
gladitor aspect wouldbe more suiting, nevertheless, Sandgarden
it is, and without further ado, this ordeal was completed tonight.
Merely two days have passed since our last update, thus people have not been given a proper chance to display their unmatched humour. Until such a time arrives, I give you, Jander Iwsforfood in addition the loot of Ixt Hsek Syat.
17.06.04 Txevu exploration - written by Nineveh
Our exploration of Txevu has barely commenced, though despite
limited time within the zone as of yet, far from aided by the
sporadic server patches, the Ukun Bloodfeaster event was
completed yesterday evening. Stonemites appear to be a trendy
part of high end taelosian content, and I personally doubt
we have seen the last of their all but annoying presence.
Generally, a rather uneventful week, despite managing to pull the
fifth phase in Plane of Time to the lair of Terris Thule. For
further inquiries on this particular exploit, feel free to
contact Zorrbald! In an attempt to entice the viewers of this page to return in the imminent future, I will
disclose the fact that our homepage is currently being revamped, hopefully ready for display without too much ado. In addition
a new newscript will enable others to update the news, liberating the readers from my drivel.     
07.06.04 Noqufiel slain, Inktu'ta completed - written by Nineveh
Having recently completed a reflagging round of Kod'Taz, consisting
of Uqua and The Altar of Destruction, we were in a position to
critically select an essential playerbase, a reciprocal to our prior
attempts with a raidforce numbering in the high 40s. Kelekdrix himself
has at this stage become routine, and the encounter was all but an
epitome of success.
The final endeavor literally caught us by surprise causing both confusion and chaos, leaving Noqufiel victorious merely minutes later. The approach was slightly changed, and as the battle lithely continued, realization of victory dawned upon those present in the unmasked chapel, though sadly, a druid managed to secure the ending blow.
Detailed loot information can be found here. Further news to follow
from the leading zone in regards to interiour and decoration within
Taelosia, namely Txevu. A popular saying claims that everything changes, though through the following two Azeri quotes,
we intend to disprove that theory. The first quote occurred during a Plane of Fire raid aproximately 15 months ago, while the latter one originated
in Qvic last week.         
27.05.04 Cynosure Kvanjji slain - written by Nineveh
Cynosure Kvanjji fell within Qvic today after having bested our guild
twice with the aid of his persistant arbitors. Personally I found
this encounter rather enjoyable as it differs somewhat from the
traditional fighting pattern. Far from certain we applied the correct
approach for this particular fight, we still ended up victorious.
Our visists to Inktu'ta has yet to yield any progression unfortunately,
as our latest expedition crashed moments post slaying Kelekdrix. Believe
it or not, Gyldendahl actually managed to die on top of the corpse,
removing any pictorial value, thus address potential complaints his way
should the need arise.
24.05.04 Kelekdrix slain, recruiting bards - written by Nineveh
Our second night in the unmasked chapel once again brought us up
against Kelekdrix, Herald of Trushnar. With refined tactics and nearly
a full expedition, the first trial of Inktu'ta was completed.
On an auxiliary note, we are currently looking for two active Bards.
Obviously being flagged for Kod'Taz will be a definite plus, though
not necessarily a dealbreaker if lacking. Our primary concern is
activity and ability. View the application forum on our boards
for further details, or send Nineveh a tell in game.
16.05.04 Barxt slain, Uqua Completed - written by Nineveh
Many a night has of late been spent within the onerous
walls of the ocean chantry, attempting to breach the harmony
of respectively the Temples of Rage and Fury. Despite the
similarity to our guildname, Barxt proved to be no ally,
though on our fourth night amid the spirits
of Uqua, the guardian of Qvic fell to a vast force of 54
adventurers.
On behalf of the guild and myself, I would like to extend an
extensive gratitude to Timmok. Without his efforts, this victory
would be weeks away. For many of us, it has been quite some time since the last adrenaline rush occurred during an EQ raid, though I remain fairly certain I was not the only one enraptured by this encounter tonight.       
29.04.04 Recruitment Closed - written by Nineveh
Having received many an application during the last week, recruitment has been closed until further notice. Reflagging
is well under way, much obliged to a joint Coirnav with Magus. One exception to the recruitment status however,
those already flagged for Plane of Time might inquire ingame via one of the officers whether or not the possibility
of joining exists.
22.04.04 Recruitment open - written by Nineveh
We are currently seeking a new playerbase to join our guild. All classes may apply through
either our application forum, or by contacting Karde in game. Keep in mind that a vaste number
of people continuously inquire about the requirements needed and playtimes deemed a necessity
to join the guild, thus should you not get an answer immediately, be patient. 
22.03.04 Summoner circle - written by Nineveh
The Pixxt summoner circle in Kod'Taz has long been an intriguing
event, both in regards to difficulty and to its potential role in
the progression pattern.
15.03.04 The Altar of Destruction - written by Nineveh
Having successfully completed the open beta encounter of transcendence a few
days ago, it was with an eerie feel of anticipation that we approached the taelosian altar yesterday evening.
12.03.04 The Chamber of Transcendence - written by Nineveh
In lieu of Wednesdays patch, the chamber of transcendence was revisited in hopes
of more specific aid in regards to what kind of brawn was needed to slay
the individual sentinels of Ikkinz.
      
29.02.04 The Chamber of Glorification - written by Nineveh
The chamber of Glorification was the second raid event of Ikkinz, and much in
coherence with the initial trial, it was completed Saturday without
much effort involved.
Anthas became the first ranger to adorn himself with the latest weaponary fashion
GoD has to offer, and as the picture in addition to the following quotes will
clearly display, quickly became the center of attention based on the esthetic
quality of this particular item.
We also attempted to complete the trials of transcendence, though it is with a
touch of acerbity I will refrain from uttering any profanities in this update. Instead
readers of this page may click here for Timmok's more than adequate coverage
of our progress there.       
28.02.04 The Chamber of Righteousness - written by Nineveh
The Chamber of Righteousness yesterday became the first raid encounter Raging Fury
completed within the Gates of Discord expansion. Having successfully led a group
to victory through the initial three trials within the broken trialgrounds, Klavs
was able to trigger a more onerous path to the Altar of Destruction, and more
importantly, one with the ability to host more than merely six adventurers.
The storyline of the taelosian continent is beginning to unwreath itself, though prior to actually participating in intricate lore, two further trials await.
During the clearing we were also lucky enough to pick up our first pieces with a 40%
damage increase focus, one ended in the hands of Frezzer, who somewhere in between
his sporadic linkdeaths actually managed to state an interest, and the second to Hoyas.  Also of interest, Haillon, the undisputed halfing king of aggro, had an epiphany and miraculously enough bought spell casting subtlety 1 as of last night.   
19.02.04 Gathering at Jubii - written by Nineveh
A gathering was held anew in Copenhagen two weekends ago, with high attendance
from both active and retired members, in what has been a trademark of our
guild, namely the social real life gatherings.
06.02.04 Lo and behold! An update - written by Nineveh
For aproximately five months now, this page has been completely static,
primarily due to the fact that the recent expansion was possibly
one of the worst if not the worst to this date, though that is my
personal opinion, merely to underline.
            
03.09.03 Quarm slain, Plane of Time completed - written by Nineveh
What can only be described as the most variable time clearing as of yet, ended with
the slaying of Quarm tonight, concluding the planar progression for Raging Fury.
The last challenge within the planes of power has been completed prior to the release of the Lost Dungeons of Norrath, and hopefully there will be new challenges residing within the new expansion.
 
27.08.03 Plane of Time, Innoruuk slain, phase 5 completed - written by Nineveh
Innoruuk was the first deity to fall this evening, and thus all of the gods in phase five
had been bested, though not during the same clearing. Eager to see the much anticipated
lore... Cazic Thule fell next in a sub par performance.
23.08.2003 Phase 5, Cazic Thule, Rallos Zek and Bertoxxulous slain - written by Nineveh
Innoruuk was to find himelf the sole habitant of the fifth tier of time as Raging Fury
swept through three quarters of the deities on the same day.
Ralloz Zek, sans his warlord title, was the next expected challenge, and to our surprise,
this encounter was, bar none, the easiest we have so far stumbled upon within the Plane
of Time. Planar transgression has obviously weakened the god of war, when compared to his
original state within the Plane of Tactics.
Last but not least, Bertoxxulous the god of disease had been given some interesting attributes which made this fight one of the more enjoyable so far. Post an attempt experiencing area of effects, Bertoxxolous fell on the second charge. Personally I was not present for the second attempt, thus pictures are not available. Loot information can be found here
20.08.03 Plane of Time, phases 1-4 completed - written by Nineveh
Apologies for the lack of updates as of late, though unfortunately real life
occurrences have
prevented me from actually writing this way overdue news update.
04.08.03 Better late than never - written by Nineveh
Darladir finally sent me the
full size pictures from the gathering, and they are
both available for public viewing through clicking here and here. Be
advised both are rather large, thus discretion is advised for modem users.
31.07.03 Coirnav The Avatar of Water slain - written by Nineveh
Less than 20 hours post our slaying of the Rathe Council, we found ourselves engaging Coirnav The
Avatar of Water with a vast prepared
raid force. We all knew exactly what needed to be done, but in
known style nameds roamed freely through our main camp, obliterating everything in their way.
Seemingly on the brink of failing yet again, control was re obtained, and as Coirnav himself was engaged,
nothing but certainty of success remained.
With all four elemental gods dissipated, access to the plane of time was granted to the majority of the guild today, though prior to commencing upon the final challenges of the Planes of Power expansion, basic reflagging necessities, i.e. one more round of the Rathe Council, will be prioritized.   
30.07.03 The Rathe Council slain - written by Nineveh
As most have probably noticed, these pages have remained rather idle as of late. There comes
a time in every guilds planar progression where certain obstacles have a tendency to
halt motivation and the jovial aspects of the game, and those of you who have faced the Rathe Council know for a
fact how disconsolate this particular encounter is.
Words can hardly describe the feeling of relief experienced once seeing such an encounter beaten, fairly certain I can safely assume an ubiquitous enraptured feeling had the entire guild ceased for a few moments after succeeding. The Coirnav encounter bested us at 40% on our closest attempt so far, but boosted with confidence and knowing the last obstacle on our way to time lies within the plane of water, I fear having to write another update rather soon.      
14.07.03 Gathering photos - written by Nineveh
Merely tossing up a pair of images from the gathering upon request. I know they are somewhat
limited in regards to size, but until Darladir sends me the original ones, there is not much I can do
01.07.2003 Raging Fury, when pixels meet - translation by Nineveh
Below you will find a translation of a danish article written about our guild about two months ago in the magazine PcPlayer, older news can be found below the rather lengthy
text update
09.06.2003 Stronghold of the twelve infiltrated - written by Nineveh
After many a completed ring event within the plane of earth, access to the stronghold of the twelve
was obtained this monday. We eagerly await the challenges within the deeper parts of this particular
elemental plane, although I remain fairly certain the eagerness is mostly related to the feeling of
not having to complete another ring in the earthen badlands based on flagging necessities.
Commencing the quote section this time, which is rather limited due to somewhat reduced playtime as of late,
with a follow up from the mention of Huneyy's death in Lower Guk, in addition to a definite sign of having
spent too much time within the plane of fire when the following witticisms occur,    
29.05.2003 Shaman recruitment - written by Nineveh
We are currently looking for 1-2 dedicated shamen to fill our ranks. Our current requirements
in addition to level 65 is mass group buff and cannibalize.
If interested, either post on the application forum, or for a more discreet approach, send
an ingame tell to Haillon or Karde.
26.05.2003 Phara dar slain! - written by Nineveh
Though we have yet to progress any further in the highly elaborate storyline within the Planes of Power,
we have been far from inactive. In lieu of the recent allowance of gating spells in Veeshans Peak it was
decided to pay the once considered tier4 zone a visit, about three years post of its prime.
We have not given the Coirnav encounter a new attempt as of yet, though our tactic stands readier than ever
before, and while awaiting the availability of the avatar of water, Xegony was bested once again, along with
the tyrant of fire.
     
  
11.05.2003 Xegony, the Queen of Air slain - written by Nineveh
For several weeks Xegony has been the obvious progression target on our agenda, though for various
reasons, attempting this event had until this weekend been postponed.
The magicians of Raging Fury have a tendency to work somewhat different when it comes to organizing their
summoned arrows, as displayed below, the comparison of Celsius versus Thaolin. Following in the quote section the monk squad
normally appears quite able when it comes to deciding upon which way to move the raidforce, though at times..
     
  
21.04.2003 Recent events & quotes - written by Nineveh
Post our first slaying of Rallos Zek during the second week of February, Raging Fury has
learned their ways in the elemental planes, and a new barrier was breached within the
guild as we harnessed our 180th elemental armour piece within the plane of fire today.
       
06.04.2003 Fennin Ro The Tyrant of Fire slain - written by Nineveh
The cathedral of doomfire lay before Raging Fury once again. We came amply
representated for our second encounter with Fennin Ro, more members than
have been seen online simultaneously ever wanted to be a part of what was to be
our first banishment of an elemental god.
Loot consisted of Ifir, dagger of fire, Earring of eternal flame and a pair of plate leggings Timmok has for this weeks quote galore composed various utterings for our enjoyment, they can be viewed by clicking the following picture
01.04.2003 April fools! I have no real update - written by Nineveh
Although we have not broken any barriers as a guild lately, after having been thoroughly harassed by
guildmates, I was convinced that the option of updating the guildpage despite actually having surpassed
a new challenge actually existed.
              Last but not least, the most contradicting saying ever to be uttered in the guildchat of Raging Fury:
08.03.2003 Vulak'Aerr slain in Copenhagen - written by Nineveh
For what I believe was the seventh time, Raging-Fury was gathered at Boomtown in Copenhagen. These
real life events have grown to be a trademark of our guild, and symbolizes the fact that there are much
more to the high-end game of Everquest than merely the strive for loot. (even though I am sure Hoyas would disagree!)
Once again we offer our most sincere grattitude to Taxa for organizing the event, like he has done many a time in the past, and knowing the gnome, we all remain certain there will be more to come. Apart from the slaying of Vulak'Aerr we have been attempting numerous elemental plane mobs, completing the necessary keys and so forth.
There used to be a section called fashion victims on this page, though due to the Legacy of Ykesha release, the amount of possible candidates have been overwhelming, thus the following display of a few randomly selected candidates will sadly be the concluding summary for the time being.
Last but not least, and most likely not the final sighting of the following occurrence:
22.02.2003 Solusek Ro slain - written by Nineveh
The Burning Prince stood solely between Raging-Fury and access to the fabled land of Doomfire. Having
spent the last week in preparation through defeating every wizards nightmare, Xuzl, in addition to
the remaining four trials within the flaming towers, an ample force deftly conquered Solusek Ro, despite
several protests from Faiar proclaiming that the slaying of his deity would be all but impossible.
Fully flagged for earth, wind, water and fire, named mobs from within every plane were attempted and we obviously have quite a bit of learning to do when it comes to avoiding the named mobs dropping spectral parchments and diamonds in comparison to mobs similar in difficulty adoring our raidforce with elemental molds. Hopefully there will be pleasant news to report from the planes shortly. 08.02.2003 Rallos Zek the Warlord slain - written by Nineveh
As the attentive reader has hopefully noticed, these pages have been rather idle
as of the last couple of weeks. In coherence with many a guild on numerous servers, we
have been occupying ourselves with the infamous Rallos Zek encounter, and today we emerged
victorious.
A few updates back we displayed a picture of Ceryx proudly adorning his battle armor. After thorough discussion, we unanimously decided that the following month would be dedicated to decking the under equipped iksar, and the result
As a new addition to the news page, we now present "name the encounter", where through the mere aid
of a selection of quotes, the naming of the actual mob in question, should be a possibility
  Concluding with a few random quotes taken during the last weeks, obvious evidence that even the most
mentally stable player experiences
delirious moments during the tribulations of the Rallos Zek encounter   
19.01.2003 Tallon Zek slain - written by Nineveh
Within The Fortress of Zek, Tallon was found up and available for a change,
and knowing the gate to Soluseks Tower would open through this deity's demise,
neither encouraging words or blessings of faith were deemed a necessity.
The warders of Raging-Fury are seldom apprechiated for their endeavors. Glistening
displays of weaponshields, fletching, and countless outbursts in regards to line
of sight, bow performance and tanking efforts.
16.01.2003 Lord Mithaniel Marr slain - written by Nineveh The foundations of Marr's divine temple shook as Mithaniel was found lacking in every way against a vast force of adventurers seeking unfought battles. Losing merely an ogre the paladin was thoroughly disposed of as the march continued towards the tower of Solusek Ro
In recent events we have learned that Mortalis will be leaving Antonius Bayle for Venril Saathir. Truely a loss, and we wish them the best of luck. Fashion victim of the week is Ceryx, one of our main pullers, who despite his 2000 hp actually manages to stay alive from time to time.
12.01.2003 Agnarr the Storm Lord slain - written by Nineveh
Agnarr the Storm Lord, the abhorrence of Karana himself was confronted
and defeated within the Bastion of Thunder today, a battle in which I personally
did not participate, thus the pictorial material as well as quote of the week was
donated by our newly appointed guildleader, Klavs.
Faiar was the source of inspiration for the following picture, and unless you actually play on Antonius Bayle, the oddity in the picture will most likely elude you.
05.01.2003 Bertoxxulous & Saryrn slain - written by Nineveh
The crypt of decay stood empty today as the plaguebringer himself was defeated in what can only be described
as a way overdue kill. Our previous attempt ended post the point of enrage, and thus todays victoious outcome
was especially liberating. Practically the entire guild participated, and with a higher turnout than we have seen
in weeks, new conquests were definately within reach
Still amply representated, we learned Saryrn was up within the plane of Torment, a deity we had yet to attempt. Loaded with confidence from the previous slaying, Saryrn offered no resistance, and the path to the tower of Solusek for some reasons seemed shorter.
Apparanetly fighting a female deity is more than some can handle. The following two quotes occured during the fight, and are both necessities for the front page,   On behalf of Raging Fury, I have the pleasure and privilege of wishing the guilds and players of Antonius Bayle a merry christmas and thank them for the year that is about to end. Hopefully those of us that got along this year, will continue to do so in the next. I searched in vain for a suitable EQ related christmas photo, so until we actually kill something: 
19.12.2002 For the hive! - written by Nineveh
Rydda'Dar was the barrier that withheld Raging Fury from entering the lower depths
of the Halls of Honor, home of Mithaniel Marr. Upon learning that this dragon was up
we soon found ourselves in the company of Mortalis, also seeking to flag their last members
for an upcoming encounter with the deity. 
29.11.2002 A peek behind the curtains - written by Nineveh
Normally a guild refrains from displaying encounters which did
not exactly turn out as planned. One could almost believe raids
rarely fail, trains never occur and that Klavs actually stood his
ground against the Emperor for more than 5 minutes prior to the release of
Planes of Power.
Finishing up with a few random quotes, keep in mind that none of these are
"serious", except for Deidda:
  
19.11.2002 Fail me once, shame on you. Fail me twice, oh we won - written by Nineveh
The lair of Terris Thule was actually found populated for once, and thus the forces gathered
in preparation and anticipation for what was to be the first major milestone in the Planes
of Power, not accounting for Kerafyrm's lineage nor the male version of Chikaka (residing within
the Plane of Disease, and rather bold). Should you have further problems making the actual connection,
feel free to inquire ingame.
The first planar deity slain, a more diverse zone selection available, two new trinkets,
more accurately two Indigo Snake Bracelets and a Sable Lined Mantle
and hopefully a continous line of updates equivalently prosperous still to come.
13.11.2002 Lord Inquisitor Seru slain - written by Nineveh
Late Monday night the inner sanctum of Seru was desecrated as the
Lord Insquisitor himself stood against a vast force of adventurers
with one sole purpose, completing their last lunar challenge.
09.11.2002 Aerin'Dar Slain - written by Nineveh
See you all in Halls of Honor
02.11.2002 Vex Thal Cleared - written by Nineveh
Raging Fury ventured into the depths of Vex Thal this weekend, for the first time
encountering the challenges of the second floor of Luclin's goldmine.
Two days of continous pulling later, we were faced with Aten Ha Ra herself, and in
collaboration with the rest of our weekend, things went as they were supposed to.
07.09.2002 Emperor and Shei Venitras bows
down to the Fury - written by Hoverrang
Im proud to announce that today Emperor of Ssra fell to a force purely
consisting Raging Fury, we would have gotten him yesterday, but some lame bug
got half of our enchanters summoned to zone in.
Loot consisted of :
After I logged they proceeded to go play with Shei Venitras another mob we
never really bothered with, I have no idea what the hell they were doing, but
maybe some of you guys will have a clue judging from the pictures...
Loot consisted of :
Just as I am writing this Im also hearing that we've cleared fear (*hug* AE
spells*) and killed Cazic Thule. Being a devoted Thulite myself, this will
offcourse get no more attention here(go kill tunare instead bastards!), instead
let me tell you what Ive been up to recently.
