091*NOR/news Final Fantasy XIV

Hail*NOR/Greetings from FFXIV, fellow adventurers of The New OutRiders!

I am delighted to share some exciting news and updates with you in this, our first newsletter for the Final Fantasy XIV branch of NOR.

First of all, I would like to congratulate Chazore Allure and Jaylx Gains on attaining the rank of Baron. This is a great achievement and a testament to your dedication and leadership. Well done, you two!

I would also like to congratulate our new Knights and Huzzah! to all of the new Squires who have completed their evaluation period as Recruits and proven themselves to be valuable members. You are the backbone of our guild and we are proud to have you among us. Welcome to the family!

To our newest Recruits, I would like to say that you have made a solid choice in joining our guild. You will find a friendly and supportive community with us, as well as plenty of opportunities to grow and have fun. I look forward to each and every one of your official inductions into the guild as new Squires very, very soon.

As you may have noticed, we are up to three events each week now, being on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8pm EST, and Sundays at 4pm EST. These events are a great way to bond with your fellow guildmates, earn rewards, and experience the wonders of Eorzea. I encourage all of you to join us whenever you can and enjoy this adventure together.

Aside from these events, I also find it of high import that we group together as needed to help each other and to have fun outside of these events and to get to know each other better. I have noticed that this indeed has been the case so far and it only makes us stronger!

We will also be eligible to begin the attempt to secure guild housing starting on April 19 (With a very large thank you to NOR Cally for his substantial donation to the guild coffer to assist in this endeavor). This will be a major milestone for our guild and will allow us to have a place to call home and headquarters, as well as access to various benefits and features. Let us hope the housing lottery is in our favour.

Last but not least, I am happy to announce that we are having a very successful first month as a new Free Company on Adamantoise per the server-wide rankings (We ranked 19th on Adamantoise out of over 6,400 guilds in the monthly rankings after only two weeks of forming up) and have almost maxxed our Free Company’s rank in mere weeks.

I would like to thank everyone for all of their hard work and play, dedication to building this branch from the ground up, and especially for their presence, as it makes the guild a fun and friendly place to be for all of us.

Until next time then, I leave you with this verse…

A good NOR member is loyal and kind,
We ever shall keep our NOR guildmates in mind.

We help where we can and we ask when we need,
We follow the Charter and we live by the Creed.

A good NOR member is friendly and fun,
We make every game Realm a much better one.

We cheer when we win and we laugh when we lose,
We share our own stories and respect others’ views.

A good NOR member is a part of the team,
That all work together to realize our dream.

Upon one another we trust and depend,
We are more than NOR members; We are also NOR friends!
