Hail *NOR/! The Dungeons & Dragons Online branch of the New OutRiders have been enjoying one of DDO's bigger events, the Night Revels, for the past three weeks. Guild members were able to complete several challenger quests inside of Delera's Graveyard for great experience points for first-time completions, and for ingredients that could be exchanged for a variety of Revels-exclusive weapons, armor, cosmetics, buffs, and pets.

Hail*NOR/ Thanks to the hard work of NORbies, our castle is now Rank 14! Champion Benn has been our guide in upgrading the Stronghold, and he's been amazing in figuring out a process that confuses a lot of us. His wisdom has saved us a lot of head-scratching. A member who took a break but recently came back to the Stronghold looked around, and said, "Wow, it's so nice now. The guild hall is all cozy!" We have a new Count, John Rain! Years ago, Rain came to us from another guild because Tundrra was persistent, and he's been an invaluable asset to NOR. Rain will now share the responsibility of second-in-command with Count Dlandru. Because of Rain's promotion, we have a new officer, Baron Udokas! Udokas came to us through Rain two years ago, and he's been one of our most active members. He was Knighted about a year ago, and has been rewarded several NOR Commendation Medals for his efforts in running dungeons with veterans and newbies alike. We now finally have enough people to make a full NOR attempt in the top tier dungeons, and hopefully, we have more heroics to report next month! Until next month,

Hail*NOR/ It's October! It's Halloween! It's the return of Junkenstein's Revenge! This is Blizzard's annual PVE brawl event, where 4 players must cooperate to stop the horde of Zombie Robots from overrunning the castle of Eichenwalde. Every team consist of a two DPS, one support DPS, and one healer/debuffer. The enemies include one more mini bosses than it did last year as an extra challenge. No matter, our MMO sense and teamwork transferred naturally to this event. Ojike, Destroyer, Ziek, Rabbitskates, Tyrandil, a few Allies, and I had a blast running this event, and we all got some nice cosmetics to boot. Duchess Phelaia*NOR/DC BL:NW |

Hail*NOR/ Many exciting things have occurred since our last newsletter! Following our Halloween tradition of dressing up as a group if we wanted to or as an individual, some of us were power rangers this Halloween. There were some great costumes, lots of fun, and the screenshot we managed to get, once everyone finally goofed around, was great! Check it out here: Group Screenshot The game has been hopping with changes lately, with a new stronghold, new content and now, a server merge on November 8th with the United Forces update. What does this mean for players with multiple characters on different servers? This link will explain more of what the goals are for the merge and what it means for players: Merger Updates Along with the merge comes some cool stuff! “When United Forces goes live, we will be offering new rewards for reconnecting with friends and guildmates in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Log in and play between November 8 – November 27, 2017 to get new rewards*:
We really enjoy running group content and look forward to the new content to come! If you’ve never run group content or have had a less than desirable experience, please let us know and we’ll make sure to turn that frown upside down with lots of laughs, fun, and probably selective deaths. Duke Intisar always has an exciting time planned and there’s always room for everyone! We enjoy running with all our members, new and established. We’d like to welcome Sytran who was promoted to Squire after an exciting group run where, as promised, there were a few deaths and lots of laughs. We look forward to running with you more Squire Sytran. Congratulations and Welcome to the fun! 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!
