Decree from the Duke!

[Intisar]

Snake Plissken: Who's the Duke?

Cabbie: The Duke? The Duke of New York, A-Number-1, the Big Man, that's who!

Snake Plissken: I wanna meet this Duke.

Cabbie: You can't meet the Duke! Are you crazy? Nobody gets to meet the Duke. You meet him once and then you're dead!

When Zy promoted me last week, I said that I should’ve prepared a speech. It’s probably for the best I didn’t, but I figure for my 500th forum post, I can write something of what I might’ve said.

At the end of the day, MMOs aren’t about the characters or the loot or the number of bosses killed or PVP matches won, it’s about the people you play with. In NOR, I’ve been fortunate to play with an absolutely top notch group of folks from all walks of life and from one end of the planet to the other. You guys are what makes NOR great, and getting to goof off with y’all after a long day is a pleasure I don’t take for granted.

A few folks have asked me if anything is gonna change. My answer is I hope not! Zy isn’t going anywhere and is still the big kahuna. I hope NOR remains a place where anyone from casual players to progression raiders feel welcome and I encourage folks to join in the fun whenever they can. I may not have the answer to every question, but someone in the guild can probably point you in the right direction. If you need advice about a quest or gear or a flashpoint or a heroic, I hope you’ll speak up. There are often lots of folks around to help.

The base SWTOR channel of NOR’s TeamSpeak server is open to all. Pop in, say hello and be social. We do ask that you seek permission before joining occupied sub-channels since those are places where folks can quest together quietly or engage in often-intense PVP discussion. If you’re curious to see how NOR’s raids go, eavesdroppers are welcome in the Operations channel (although, we do ask you not to distract if the group is in the middle of a fight).

In the end, my goal is to be worthy of the fellowship I’ve received from NOR this past couple of years and return it whenever I can.
