Everyone needs to make plans to be in Bree-town tonight around 9:00 Central Daylight Time. We're going to buy a Kinhouse! This one will be in Bree. We should have all the cash gathered together, and I want to say a special thank you to everyone who farmed cash and donated to make this happen. Even if it was just 100s. It all helps!

You are welcome to bring non-kin friends to the house after we get to dirty the carpets ourselves! We'll have beer and pie and pipeweed to spare I am sure. It'll be a great event! Everyone should try and get some screenshots this time! I always forget. See you there!

After a long while off, Ancients of the Realm is back in Lord of the Rings online! Welcome to the new friends and faces from Windfola. We're glad you're here! Click the Forum tab and introduce yourself!

It looks like REM is as close as we've come since launch to locking T4! Destruction needs to lock down Dragonwake and then only 2 zones to go before we can invade Altdorf! Tier 4 players should concentrate on PQ's and events in Dragonwake today. Then we'll see which zone is weakest for the next advance. T3 players, you're not off the hook! Order has been putting up some HUGE numbers in Avelorn and Saphery. We've got to keep those zones under wraps if we hope to achieve a lock in Dragonwake.

Here's the link to the update! Forward the Ancients!

Mythic launched the game that changed MMOs! Following on the heels of this release, Ancients of the Realm founded as a guild for the first time near the first of November. That means many of us have been gaming together for 7 years! What a triumph. And with all our old faces, we always welcome new friends who share our goals of fun and adventure. Happy Anniversary DAoC, happy Anniversary Ancients!

The REM server has had a small hiccup and is not open for play at the moment. Stay tuned to the Server Status page on the WAR Herald for further news.

EDIT: We're back in business!

Thanks to Marena for writing us a super awesome updated guild history! She did a fabulous job and accurately recounts the past of the Ancients of the Realm. Check it out!

Alphawog and Jero are doing their best to help everyone have a good idea of who each person is playing. Please encourage your guildies to report to the forums and update their character names in this thread:
http://aotr.net/smfforum/index.php

There are a lot of old friends returning and current friends changing character names, so it really helps folks figure out who's who!

On a different up to date note, please contact Auri or Hoka if you're interested in writing bits for the splash page of the guild site! I'm pretty good keeping up with administrative stuff, but not so good at keeping content current. We need your input! Uploaded screen shots, videos and stories!

According to the latest information I have from the Blackthornes board, we will proceed with high hopes and expectations on the Red Eye Mountain server. There are several potential outcomes to choosing a server from a short list on launch day. Stay tuned for details on if the Alliance decides to move to a less crowded server, or if we stick it out forcing others to move and enduring a queue.

Look to your left under the Guild Links frame, and you can see a link to our Ventrilo server. Check to see who's on and what they may be playing. You can also launch Vent straight from the page here! Its totally awesome. Thanks for finding and installing that module Mumin!!
