Sweet! 1 month to go for its 15th birthday WOW - CONGRATS!!!

 

[Lord Memnock]

Thanks! It's hard to believe it's been that long. There were 17 members of The Sillyhood present when it was placed. We originally wanted to place it in one of the sheep pens in Yew proper for the silliness factor. We even called in a GM to get a ruling. He informed us that, unfortunately, that was not a legal housing location (duh. Lol). Then, he summoned a bunch of orcs, orc lords, and orc mages for us to play with.... who promptly killed the founder of our guild and took the house deed off his corpse. Then we had to scatter into the woods killing orcs as quickly as possible to get the deed back. The GM thought this was funny.

Yea, I remember when GM's actually could spawn stuff... Had forgotten all about that... What shard is the house on Lord Memnock, I'd like to visit it. It's the oldest I've seen, congratulations !

 

[Lord Memnock]

Thank you! It was also the period where Gms could dress however they wanted other than the red robe. Black stag helm, valor shield, named war mace, riding a nightmare. Needless to say, we were impressed.

The house is on Chesapeake, Felucca side, obviously.

*Ni!*

... funny, he'd fit right in at Luna bank.

Petra, i submitted an Email to you yesterday and an Email to Mesanna about the same subject the day before yesterday. Both messages are about my castle on Atlantic receiving a banner. I don't want to sound like I'm impatient, was just wondering if there is any news on this.

 

[Petra Fyde]

Is it the last one listed on this page?

Yup, that's the one.
Thanks Petra, can't wait to get my banner.

I got in touch with the founder of The Sillyhood and he still had some screenshots of that day:

Here we are in the sheep pen talking to the GM

And here are the orcs he summoned in payment for such a silly request

And finally, our freshly built Guildhall, placed specifically so that the front steps are in the guard zone, but the rest of the house is not. Devious!
