January 18th 2010 - Fippy Dies! (submitted by Xslia at 07:21am PST) As a raid force we have been working on Fippy since expansion on 16th December - last week we hit our best % at 8% and knew we could beat this!!!! We had a few great runs and right at the last phase lost control and decided - yet a few more tweaks! Well those tweaks paid off last night on Jan 18th - the raiders beat fippy! Gratz to Yachtor, Kaeamien, Sissee, Anas, Zorais for server first loot raid drops! This was a very intense raid - something that as a raid force we have not had in a long while - we have been issued a challenge in UF and raiders are answering the call. Gratz to the rest of the raiders that died many times over helping us perfect this win! Now on to the next raid in UF! Forums: www.ecipublic.org. Fippy himself! Raiders getting buffed and looking at the view! Fippy's Treasure Chest! Raiders that downed fippy!

December 2009 update (submitted by Xslia at 10:03am PST) December New Expansion, New Content - new ways to die! So far I'm not seeing any faction based purchases - makes me smile! However, getting from one spot to another in some of the zones will be a challenge due to the see invis. Some zones they have very large raidius, some zones very small. It's all about learning! However, I'm already seeing mayhem in reaching some of the npc's because why one would put a raid NPC started deep in a zone with several see invis KOS mobs around it, ... well um.. /boggle So far flagging for the next tier is a challenge but not overly complicated and you have 2 options to reach it. Where I see the bottleneck right now is having enough people that can request the missions in the different zones. I'm not asking every raider to do every zone pre-req to start missions, but I'd like to see maybe each raider - pick a zone and get the pre-req's done - so we can share the assistance. The pre-req's typically consist of 3 individual tasks that have to be done by NPC's in that zone first before a flagging mission will open up. Most of all - help each other out - we all are at various stages of flagging and a lot of these tasks just cannot be done with merc. Crowd control is huge in this expansion so be patient with some of the tasks, they are a bit of a pain. Soon, very very soon, we will be earning our death stripes to new content raids... and I'll have new pictures to share! Holiday Wish As we get to the end of the year and Christmas and New Year's are upon - please hold in your thoughts and prayers those serving your country and those away from home for the Holidays. If you're traveling, I'll wish you safe journeys with minimum travel hassles. If you are out and about for parties and celebrations - please be responsible with drinking and driving - every life is precious and losing yours or someone else's - is not worth the risk.

September & October (submitted by anaskesia at 08:43am PST) I wish that I could say that the months of September & October were comprised entirely of one amazing achievement after another, but.... no. Instead, these months were filled with FARMING. That being said, many public raiders have benefited and we will be well prepared for the next expansion -- which is expected to be released on December 15, 2009. We did shift our focus from farming to do the second Underfoot early-access raid events numerous times. Both Vox and Nagafen were defeated by public raiders. The coming month looks to be filled with indescribable excitem... farming. Yes, more farming. What were you expecting? Xslia has started a thread on the forums seeking input on how to make our farming events more enjoyable. The Manhyme dead-pool (in which the first person to shout that Manhyme has died scores a point) has helped many stay interested. Galamann is the current leader (and organizer) of this contest. --Anas (kesia)
