Several of our players are now playing Lord of the Rings.

We are on Meneldor server.

We will most likely be staying there until the Warhammer Online Beta.

Several of us started playing again on the World of Warcraft Darkspear server.

We're still having some fun although playing a bit less.

Banana Boyz wannabes of Wildhammer

While we have left World of Warcraft as a guild for a few months now, it has recently been brought to our attention that some wannabes felt the need to copycat us and rename their guild to Banana Boyz on the Wildhammer server.

Apparently some ex members of our old Laughingskull guild decided to migrate to the Wildhammer server. They joined some guild there called Hording School and after some time this Hording School guild renamed itself to Banana Boyz. One of the Hording School guys (Epik) even decided to register a domain name with our guild name apparently with the approval of his "guildmaster".

Note that neither the guild leader (UndeadHead) nor the "webmaster" (Epik) have anything to do with Banana Boyz to start with and their wannabe guild doesn't even have a single Banana Boyz founder either (just several ex members from our Laughing Skull guild).

The first defense of these Hording School/wannabe BBz guys was "we didn't choose to rename ourselves Banana Boyz we were asked to by our new members". Then when we get some ex LS BBz within their own ranks to ask for a guild name change, it is denied and they come up with a new defense line : "Your guild name is not copyrighted we can use it if we want to".

At least their new defense line makes more sense. Yes Hording School, you have the "legal right" of being Banana Boyz wannabes, be assured that noone will sue you IRL for that.

It is not like it happends for the first time. There have been many wannabes copycating our guild names for many years and I guess its natural for successful 10+ years old guilds... However those guilds usually had no website or used some free hosted subdomain. I guess that this time, by registering a new website with our name in it, people got even more confused and contacted us much faster to know if it was the real Banana Boyz or just some fake copy.

So this post clears those doubts out: no these guys aren't the real Banana Boyz which have been using that guild name in online games for the past 10 years and will continue to do so in upcoming games. But I guess the post will also provide those wannabes with the moment of fame they've been trying so hard to obtain... So enjoy it while it lasts :)

Does anyone else find it ironic that, as your virtual character gains experience, wealth and social stature, your reality character is losing the exact same things at the same rate?

Our first night of AQ40 was quite alright, The Prophet Skeram went down relatively easy when we figured out what it required us to do. Some purple shit dropped and some people who don't need any more purple shit got it. We couldn't stop there so went deeper in and met the "Royal Family".

After brutally murdering both parents the kid went down relatively easily. Pretty trivial encounter really. Some purple shit dropped and some people who don't need any more purple shit got it. Battleguard Sartura was the first real challenge and it took 5 attempts to kill her, which still wasn't that bad I suppose. I really enjoyed this fight and think it's much more dynamic than most other encounters, even though our tanks didn't really seem to have a problem tanking her, contrary to rumors we had heard. Some purple shit dropped and some people who don't need any more purple shit got it.

So far I'm impressed with AQ40 and it really seems like it's the size of the instance that creates the possibility for cool fights. Hopefully we'll get a little further in tomorrow and take a shot at the twins. We later went and killed Fankriss the Unyielding and it's safe to say it's again one of the easier fights, once you figure out what to do. Some purple druid shit dropped and some druids who don't need any more purple shit got it. Princess Huhuran seems to be somewhat of a more interesting fight (for Horde). With the lack of Dwarf tanks we have had some trouble with it. But eventually, the princess still got owned :
