Who wants to be a millionaire?
It has been a while. Many new improvements happening, new milestones, teaming up with AIE, conquest and more.

First off we would like to congratulate Yynith/Pilos on their recent promotion to Squire. They have been a great addition to the guild and we look forward to many adventures with you. We would also like to recognize some awards; Countess Cheysa Finn, Countess Galaxiya and Duke Intisar have attended 25 event and have been awarded a 25 event pin on their bio. Also Duke Intisar has achieved his 50 events pin. Congratulations!

There is some new Star Wars news for those who may not be aware and I may be slightly bias due to this being my favorite Star Wars character. Disney+ has release a new series called “Maul – Shadow Lord” which follows Darth Maul after the clone wars as he builds his criminal empire. This has inspired some new cosmetic gear in game which fits very well as we are getting ready to wrap up the Legacy of the Sith. The spring abundance festival has come and gone with a lot of dancing with our guildmates and a few more surprises thanks to our fearless Brunch Leader.

In game news, Swtor has been working on migrating to DirectX 12. With May the 4th just around the corner, the Dev’s have mentioned some celebration this year. They have mentioned Double XP events, and some more login and subscriber rewards. This is potentially a big year for swToR due to this year being the 15th anniversary of the game’s release and they have said there will be a lot to tell us with game release 8.0.

We have seen some very dedicated play, and fun happening lately. Champion Amp has passed one million conquest points in a single week. This is the most I have seen any individual character put up in recent times. We have also continued to be up to new shenanigans with the Rogue Cartel Warbot. A new game called Popcorn has been made up (we are not divulging who came up with it, it was definitely not our friendly neighborhood leader and not influenced at all by some random other leader or leaders looking to spice things up…) During the battle one person receives a debuff, when that completes its channel it has an unusual side effect of exploding their teammates around them and throwing them in the air. Much like seeing popcorn popping. We could have had a new record set this past weekend dethroning Squire Caboose, but in all the chaos, I lost track of who had the debuff from all the laughing and seeing close to ten people go flying, no one wanted to claim credit. The most unlikely of thing happened during this time. Duke Intisar summoned everyone to his least favorite (or so he says) planet for this wonderful game. Usually he is not so willing to travel to Quesh. Que the multiple Queshtions and que the inevitable sigh…..

Our progression team has been back into the swing of things and even saw a Praxon Bloodline mount drop from Explosive Conquest. They have also had very successful runs of Eternity Vault and Karagga’s Palace. The Rakghoul Resurgence started yesterday and you can be sure we will all be getting dizzy as we run in circles turning left like NASCAR drivers trying to destroy Eyeless and the following week we will be back to Ilum for the Gree invasion and a chance at the sweet, sweet red orb!! Oh, and last but certainly not least, I promised multiple people that I would be mentioning the fact that on more than one occasion we have finished up to seven minutes early.
