History: Neverwinter Realm Origin
March 2013 – June 19th 2013: Founding
Looking for a supplement to his swToR gaming, something with a different genre feel Tundrra came across a video for the upcoming D&D Neverwinter. At that point he knew which game would become the next *NOR/ branch; he signed up for beta and began following their Facebook feed. Some weeks later there was an Alpha key give away that Tundrra won.
After weeks of play they gave out additional friend keys, which were passed out to other New OutRiders members, 8 in total. From there dungeon runs were scheduled and the High Council allowed a Provisional Branch to be set up on March 13th 2013, before the game launched. It also should be noted that Duke Tundrra at the time was Branch Leader in both The Old Republic and Neverwinter for close to a year.
After Open Beta was announced for April 30th 2013 and as interest gained momentum members began to purchase Founder packs allowing them early access and inGame exclusive items. On April 27th at 9est 6 members (Tundrra, Gilenrod, Malkion, Skyleth, Nimm, Lasarian) met to create the guild tag. From their preparations began to start the new branch and for the upcoming Guild Unity Event which was held only 10 days after launch May 10-12th.
In its provisional state Tundrra appointed Gilenrod to Baron, who had recently transferred from a swToR Baron position. Also to help with running the branch Vashile was promoted to Baron. From that point forward a flurry of activity and guild invites were sent out leading up to one of the most successful GLUE events to date with 35 players attending. The Guild Unity Event brought a lot of members to try out the new branch and several have stayed, recruiting has been strong, however with the guild’s player levels spread out from 1-60 it has been difficult putting together consistent dungeon guild runs. June 20th marks the day the game will be officially Live and out of Beta. Once the majority of the guild reaches lvl 60 we will see less turn over among the recruits and see a more active event calendar. At the time every Monday at 9est were our weekly Dungeon Delve guild run with sign ups on the NORforums.
