077*NOR/News 2021 June 24th
Hail*NOR/everyone!
It has been a long time since I have written an intro to the monthly newsletter and I would love catch everyone up on a few of the guild happenings. First off and the most noticeable change is the new website design (newoutriders.org) . We have moved from the handcrafted html to a WordPress blog format. It has definitely been quicker and easier to manage, as well as keeping us looking sleek and modern. However we were forced into change due to some outdated code requirements, (if any members are in the php/webdevelopment field of work I do have a couple questions I would like to ask:p)
The new website format easily allow us to send administrators rights to those officers or members that are interested in writing blogs about raid requirements, boss fights or any general info you want to share with the community. In the past our forums have been the go to spot for these write ups, however the forums are spotted with a bit of code error spam and some posts show while others do not.
Discord remains the main means of communication these last couple of years so be sure to have it downloaded for any instant communication. You can also follow the guild on Facebook and Twitter for newsletter notifications and other upcoming events related to the guild. Something new in regards to communication, is the wordpress website does allow for comment sections under each post, if you do have questions or want to cheer on the hard work of officers writing our monthly articles feel free to make use of that additional space.
I seem to say this every year or two, but ideally I will continue with these introduction paragraphs to keep old and new members up to date with the guild news outside of the realm you may be active in. Now, please enjoy the latest news from our realms and a thank you to the officers that operate all the realms of the guild!
/cheers to 29yrs of *NOR/!

Dungeons & Dragons Online
Hail *NOR/!
Dungeons and Dragons Online will be finishing up its fourth season of the Hardcore Server on June 29th. This season was more challenging than the first three, with every chest possibly spawning a mimic, and no extra lives granted incrementally throughout the leveling process. For those who participated in it and received rewards for their efforts, congratulations!
Back on Ghallanda, the tried and true *NOR/bies are continuing their questing, reincarnation goals, and efforts towards the Completionist feat (having a single player character reincarnate into each of the available classes in DDO and level up through the first 20 historic levels). Kudos to Count PointyEars for being our second guildie to achieve Completionist!
See you all in-game!

*Raises a large mug of ale* Hail and welcome to Hoelbrak! Come join my fellow norn along with the rest of Tyria and experience our legendary hospitality here in Hoelbrak and throughout the Shiverpeaks for Dragon Bash! The biggest moot of them all! Come drink, sing, drink, brag, drink, eat, drink, race, and drink as we celebrate the end of the dragons reign (well, the evil dragons, not Aurene) over Tyria from June 22nd to July 13th.
Enjoy the many festivities we have lined up for you! Take part in the Dragon Pinata Adventure and see how many pinatas you can smash within the time limit. Bet on Tigg’s Famous Racing Moas for big prizes. Visit Lake Mourn to challenge waves of holographic dragon minions in the special arena or take on the Dragon Arena Survival challenge to test your strength. Race your mount in a scenic tour of Hoelbrak. And Dragon Bash is not just limited to Hoelbrak. The Holographic Stampede takes place throughout The Shiverpeaks as holographic projectors bring waves of dragon minions for all to smash and bash. And don’t forget to turn in your zhaitaffy and jorbreaker prizes for fantastic rewards like holographic weapon and armor skins and more! https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/dragon-bash-2021-is-live/ And don’t forget the drinks!
Next week we’ll be exploring our past from Season 3 with the first episode of Living World Season 3 free just for logging in. Don’t forget to visit and work towards that legendary precursor!
