Hello Winter, the season of gaming!  I hope everyone is staying warm and cozy at their pc.  To help get you through the season we have some copies of the highly anticipated Camelot Unchained to give away on the 21st.  Please visit the  forum to learn how

Some highlights from the realms:  We have a resurgence of activity in our previously closed realm of Guild Wars 2.  Lady Zyera and Baron Windemere along with 14 other members have invaded the land and are looking to connect with its old members!  Also please congratulate Neverwinter's newest ! Duchess and Branch Leader Phelaia

The High Council was out of session last week for the Super Bowl and this week due to Valentine's Day.  The next session will be the 21st for the Duchy Reports and the Camelot Unchained give away winner announcement.

Recently there has been a renewed surge of interest in Guild Wars 2! With the base game Free 2 Play, many NORbies have made accounts or revisited their old account. Guild Wars 2 Branch is under the NOMAD structure currently. We have several NORbies here enjoying the game and grouping together for map exploration, dungeons, PvP and more!

What is Guild Wars 2?

Guild Wars 2 is an online roleplaying game with action-oriented combat, personal stories, world dynamic events, world-class PvP. The base game is free to play with some restrictions* (link) and buy to play once purchased whatever recent expansion is most current. So you only need the newest expansion for a full account unlock instead of buying the base game and the expansion. The free to play model is great to test out the waters and see if you enjoy the game!

If you would like to try out the game and want a NOR tag contact Lady Zyera or post in the Guild Wars 2 Forums on the NOR Site with your Handler name! Here: viewforum

You can learn more about Guild Wars 2 at their site here: www.guildwars2.com

In February, Count Kermit stepped down as branch leader due to real-life time commitments. Countess Phelaia stepped forward to take his place as the leader of the Neverwinter branch and was raised to the rank of Duchess. Phelaia has been with the Neverwinter branch since the game was in beta testing, and has been an officer for almost as long. She is universally liked and respected, and brings patience, wisdom, maturity, and a deep knowledge of every aspect of the game to her duties. (Full disclosure: I'm her husband.) Congratulations to Duchess Phelaia!

February also saw the addition of three outstanding players to our officer corps: Bluebutton, Destroyer, and John Rain. Bluebutton was recruited by Phelaia over a year ago; Destroyer came to us when the Battle Magic guild merged with our branch; and John Rain was one of the first people to join us from the Tyr's Palladium guild. Each of them regularly contributes to the branch in every way: forming groups and leading play, chatting in guild chat, contributing thoughtfully on the forums, giving resources to the guild bank and the guild stronghold, and so much more. Congratulations to Baroness Bluebutton, Baron Destroyer, and Baron John Rain!

On the gameplay front, our guild cracked another difficult Tier 2 dungeon wide open in February: most of our rank-and-file guild members have now completed Epic Cragmire Crypts, a dungeon that was all but impossible to complete legitimately when it (re-)launched with Mod 6 in March 2015. Baroness Bluebutton in particular was behind the push to get more people to go to Cragmire, and her work (if you can call something that fun "work") helping to lead Cragmire expeditions and writing up the results on the guild forum has really paid off!

We also made continued progress upgrading our guild stronghold, thanks to the tireless efforts and generous contributions of so many of our guild members. We upgraded our Wizard's Workshop to Rank 3 and our Guild Hall to Rank 6. In addition to the global stat bonuses to our characters and the snazzier appearance of our in-game home, these upgrades are some of the final steps to unlocking our access to the coveted Dragonflight armor set.

We also expect future stronghold upgrades to start coming faster and more easily, since the developers just announced a bunch of changes coming in Mod 9 that will make stronghold upgrades much cheaper (like, 50%-90% cheaper) and that will open up new sources for contributions to the stronghold, most notably the currently-kind-of-useless in-game professions. Long-standing players who have "Leadership armies" that were rendered more or less defunct with the removal of Astral Diamond generation from Leadership will rejoice to learn that Leadership can be used to produce Astral Diamonds directly for the Stronghold (though not for personal use).

That was a lot. But a lot happened these past few months. And what's coming up over the next few months looks good! Things are looking up for the Neverwinter branch!

Best regards,
Count Tyrandil

Many exciting things have occurred since our last newsletter! Chapter X is here and with it comes the fun of gaining new companions!  If you haven’t had the pleasure of running through the new content yet, you’re in for a treat!  And, there will be a new chapter coming out each month with chapter 11 coming in March and chapter 12 coming in April.  For additional information, feel free to check out Dulfy’s livestream notes:  notes

The progression team’s dedication paid off and in the month of January, successfully cleared HM Scum and Villainy and Terror from Beyond! We will continue to work on other HM’s and clear them as we can.  If you are interested in running story mode ops, we usually have enough on to form a run and would be happy to include you.  Watch guild chat for the ops call out or let us know you’re interested in running.

We are happy to announce our new recruits for this go around include Asajii, Kurjak, Ozmelid, and Solaryan.  We look forward to running with our new recruits and hope you love it here as much as we do!  If we have inadvertently left someone out, please bring it to our attention as we want to recognize all our NORbies!

As the Branch moves into the next exciting phase, we invite everyone to keep contributing in whatever ways you can. The NOR Spirit is flourishing here, and we hope that together we all can continue to pull together and take the Branch to new heights. Good luck in your gaming adventures and we hope to see you in game! May the Force be with You!
