Lately, there has been a lot of discussion regarding the fate of our server. Many guilds and players have slowly been moving to other servers last few weeks and Fairy Tale, Lethality have announced their plan to move as well as other guilds. I honestly believe if there isn't a server merger anytime soon, we will all be effected by low population and players without a tight group will have trouble finding parties for instances. I implore everyone who is considering moving server to stay and do what you can to improve our server as much as you can.

I would like to make it perfectly clear that Tempest will not be jumping ship in search for greener pastures, and will continue to work with others and help as much people as possible. Feel free to contact any one of our members for assistance and I hope we can all work together to create a closer community.

I've also created a private channel that will be open to all players of Freeholds, please utilize it to seek help or advice, we will do the best we can to keep the channel open for everyone's benefit. Type /chat FH 1111 everytime you log on to enter the channel and ask for help anytime.

I am proud to say that our reign in Ostgarath has been a great experience so far. We were one of the first guild to perma open all 4 shops, and kept 3% tax rate while returning that money to the community through events. None of this would have been possible if it wasn't for our allies and supporters, and our dedicated members who worked tirelessly to make sure we had the policy points to keep all the services available. We also provided daily assistance to over hundred players to create a better environment for our province and server.

Tempest has been growing steadily over last few weeks. Our members remain very active despite declining server population, and dedicate themselves to our cause and what we stand for. We have close to 20 level 60 members currently, and another 20 due to hit 60 in few weeks, and we will use our strength to help as much people as possible.

We have decided to run for Helkan District province in North Shara to provide assistance with Nexus. We will work closely with our allies and supporters to ensure best nexus experience possible, while maintaining our reputation for being the most helpful guild in Freeholds. Allow us to keep our promise again of creating a province where everyone can thrive, you have my word.

There will be many people who will be showing up that doesn't read the forums, and some of them will be just showing up to watch, so perhaps you can hook up with them to form a party then. It's absolutely free to participate so can't hurt to try!

Few rules I would like to clarify

#1 All Buffs within your party, Self Heals, and Potions are allowed
#2 Participants must remain in assigned boundaries.
#3 Verbal Harrassment is not allowed and is grounds for disqualification.

Tempest will be hosting 3v3 Deathmatch Tournament at Cutthroat Harbor on Saturday 7pm PDT. We want to give back to the community as much as possible with your tax money, and bring everyone closer by holding weekly events. This will be a great opportunity for everyone to get to know each other, and show off your hidden talents. I implore you to participate!

There will be 5 level bracket
20-30- 100g
30-40- 250g
40-50- 500g
50-59- 750g

Winner takes all within your brackets, so start forming your parties and work on your teamwork! Please post in this thread if you want to participate.

I would like to congratulate 14 guilds who worked hard to win their provinces tonight, it has been an exciting couple weeks for us and I am personally relived to see the elections end. There will be many challenges we face from tonight, and I wish all the Vanarch's best of luck.

I would like to make some announcement regarding Tempest's plans for the future. Ever since we merged with Caoseternum a week ago, we have greatly expanded our number of level 60's and absorbed many active members. I am pleased to say that our strength is growing everyday, and we have built a wonderful community we all proudly call home within Tempest. We are eager to keep our promise of creating a province where everyone can thrive, and have plans to make everyone's experience within our borders as pleasant as possible. We will be hosting many events to bring the community closer, and I would like to see everyone getting involved.

I would like to thank Caprica and Fairy Tale, as well as everyone who have supported us during this election, and we hope to do our best to prove to you why we are the best guild in Freeholds. Tempest will be celebrating our Vanarch Inauguration at Catanica tonight 10PM EST so please feel free to stop by to celebrate and get to know our members!

Nope, that was years after wehn I was stationed at Fort Bragg in 82nd Airborne, hence the red baret.

Ah i see, although most of good dedicated players are already in a guild, I think the best thing you can do is talk to some 60's from various guilds and create a little instance alliance. I'm actually planning on making one with members from Caprica and Fairy Tail, so if you wanna get in the mix, we would love to have you with us.

is this a joke thread....?
