Waves Bye to OG may you rest in piece.

Soreali · Post by **Soreali** » February 9, 2003, 7:42 pm

I was hoping it was AI.. are they still around anyway?

Badabidi · Post by **Badabidi** » February 9, 2003, 7:59 pm

Didnt they die like 3 weeks or a month after they were created?

Soreali · Post by **Soreali** » February 9, 2003, 8:00 pm

maybe. I really dont pay attention to them anyway.

For real? Had a lot of good times, saw some nasty wipes, and witnessed much high drama before my time in EQ was done.

/salute OG

I was a long time member of OG, what happened to them? Anyone know?

Fash · Post by **Fash** » February 9, 2003, 10:15 pm

It's not easy having the shittiest guildleader in the game.

This probably applies to more than just OG.

To survive in EQ you must have a GL that luvs teh cock!

Knibble · Post by **Knibble** » February 9, 2003, 10:53 pm

Did OG really break up? *just curious*

Fesuni Chopsui · Post by **Fesuni Chopsui** » February 9, 2003, 10:57 pm

No...they just lost several officers and most of their member base

Vetiria · Post by **Vetiria** » February 9, 2003, 11:12 pm

OG was gone long ago. Being stuck in the same place for a year and a half eats at people. It was just time until everyone left.

Nilaman · Post by **Nilaman** » February 9, 2003, 11:19 pm

OG died do to a lot of things. Some people in the guild took EQ a bit too far, and too personally. Being stuck in the same place for ages bothered a lot of people. Rumors that may have been truths, or truths that were called rumors were spread. Wikit...remember the last fight you and Moogy had? Well something like that made most officers leave. OG as a guild was great. OG had potential to do great things. Unfortunately there was a paladin..or was it a wizard...that wouldn't allow for the guild to prosper.

Here's a big toast to Elex for being a big enough dick to make multiple officers quit several different times over the course of the last 3 years.

Hurray!

To a guild who stuck around a while.

Voronwë · Post by **Voronwë** » February 10, 2003, 1:58 am

i dont know why people feel the need to gloat over something like this.

expecially people who left OG so long ago. get over it already. many of you would never have been given the opportunity to get in the upper tier guilds you left OG for had it not been for the efforts of the people in OG to train and equip you into somebody who would be a worthy recruit in a greater guild.

I know I'll remember the good things that we did do together over the years. Sure there were a few fucktards who came through the ranks over the years, i'm trying to forget about them

but we had some good times. on our good days, we certainly had fun together and tried real hard, and on occasion surpassed our expectations. When other guilds were content to farm other people's plane breaks, we busted our ass figuring it out for ourselves. we often aspired to the right way to do things, and if we fell short, so be it.

what's done is done, even though i havent been in the guild for over a year, many of my fondest memories of EQ came in that guild, and i'm fortunate to still associate with quite a few players from OG in my current guild. I consider many of those people to be the best players i ever encountered in the game, and i certainly fondly remember a lot of our best moments together.

I was never in OG but I fondly remember the following:

Cazic Thule shouts, 'VORONWE!'

retiredwikit · Post by **retiredwikit** » February 10, 2003, 2:05 am

Yep, OG was great I had so much fun doing that PoA raid with you Voro... sneaking in and out from the computer hoping my parents wouldn't find me! There were so many times when a certain guild leader wasn't present and OG began to excel in so many different areas, and we did great things being run by the officers. But when he returned things went to hell. But other then that, OG was great.

Trek · Post by **Trek** » February 10, 2003, 2:36 am

Thats to bad, I wasn't in OG that long but had a good time there. met quite a few people I liked. Enjoyed quite a few whipe outs

Xyun · Post by **Xyun** » February 10, 2003, 6:15 am

I had some fun in OG but it won't change the fact that Elex is a lootwhoring bitch of a guildleader. If Vor and Gak couldn't carry the burden of his incompetence, no one could.

Atokal · Post by **Atokal** » February 10, 2003, 8:28 am

Too bad

/wave OG

Midnyte_Ragebringer · February 10, 2003, 10:53 am

I agree with Vor. A lot of us ex-OG, learned a lot from our time there. It had bad and good, as everything else does. I made great friends from my time there. I hold no malice.

Rikk Wolvenkin · Post by **Rikk Wolvenkin** » February 10, 2003, 11:34 am

Wow, thats too bad. I was wondering when something like this would happen though, someone would have to be getting very frustrated by now.

Arborealus · Post by **Arborealus** » February 10, 2003, 11:47 am

Hrmmm...I pretty much cut my raiding teeth with OG on Vox and Naggy back in the day...Never did apply for membership for one reason or another, but I had a lot of good times and made a lot of good memories with the folks from OG.

/Goodbye OG

Is Ring of Shadows around anymore?

Aabidano · Post by **Aabidano** » February 10, 2003, 11:55 am

I don't think they'll fall apart, just part of the 3 steps forward - 2 steps back cycle. There's a bunch of good folks left still.

When I left last fall ~4 people were still there from when I joined in Aug 2000, not including a few recycles. Lot's of good friends and memories, though I probably stayed much longer than I should have.

Adex_Xeda · Post by **Adex_Xeda** » February 10, 2003, 11:56 am

Two years ago?.. I poured my soul into making OG excel. I do regret that I failed.

Elex was a hard guy to work for. He lacked consistancy. (not that I was any better)

I had some great fun and great frustration there.

I'm sure just about every guild on the server has one or two ex-OGs.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I carry the ex-OG label with affection.

Soreali · Post by **Soreali** » February 10, 2003, 12:12 pm

Yes RoS is still around and still has the best people this game could offer.

Adex_Xeda · Post by **Adex_Xeda** » February 10, 2003, 12:33 pm

For anyone that wants it, I've included some old OG screenshots in a zip file.

Right click -->HERE (2.3Megs) and select "Save As"

This trigger any memories?

or this?

Me too bro. I still carry my ex-GOV with affection as well.

Sabek · Post by **Sabek** » February 10, 2003, 12:37 pm

Yea RoS is still around doing their thing.

It's a shame to see OG fade if they really are.
I had some good interactions with them as an officer of RoS while RoS and OG were both doing trak a lot to get folks VP keys.
Did a number of joint raids with them while Etain was running the raid from their side.

Nostalos has *connections* I think he has that server just a couple hops away from a large backbone.

I have more pictures if someone really wanted them.
Just PM me.

Just the same if anyone else has old OG pics, I gladly request them.

STFU Pils.

OG was good times. It pretty much comes down to the guild leader (and Etain as well) not being the right people for the job. Gaklek offered I believe to assume the role. That didn't happen. OG continued it's ways and those that wanted more out of EQ scattered in all different directions.

Change the GL and OG would have ranked up there with the rest of the guilds that cluster right behind FoH.

Lots of good memories from OG though.

Mort · Post by **Mort** » February 10, 2003, 6:25 pm

I too had some great times in OG. Met and have many friends, and very sad to see it go.

Oh, and I gotta say it....

"Thx Epic"

Aabidano · Post by **Aabidano** » February 10, 2003, 7:30 pm

OGs demise has been predicted a bunch of times in the past, despite the loss of players I doubt it's going anywhere this time either.

I saw someone with an Obsidian Overlords recently, no idea who has the GL tagged char, but there's definately still 10+ members

I agree Aabi! OG's continued existence is proof positive of that old PT Barnum quote, "There's a sucker born every minute!"

Hmmm Rumor Mongering OG might be alive but the Well part we might have to see. As far as rumor mongering, I dont think so V-man ,you see I was in a nice little channel with lets see All of the Officers that left because of Moggys Blanky like pissfit.
