Laughing Skull Alliance Reconnections

Man, the names Furiana and Vsanthos are super familiar to me

Hey guys - mukkel (human priest) from In Excelsis here. Still thinking about playing, but travelling the week of release so we’ll see how leveling goes a week later (I’m sure it’ll be a terrible gankfest!)

[Furiana-laughing-skull]

Danthe - we played together in TR at the same time. You rocked the meters when I was leading MC/BWL/AQ to Huhu with alts and randoms in my SMC guild.

Mukkel!! <3

[Ossoi-laughing-skull]

Easy buddy, I’m not claiming any of TR’s historic internet points here, merely stating that my first time in MC was with IE. I was 60 in TR, but my stay was short and you likely stepped into MC soon after we left for IE.

I’m 99% certain that you are wrong, both about the 40man UBRS (actually 100%, that didn’t happen) and the duration of your stay in TR, because it was both long enough for me to remember you joining, long enough to remember PvPing with the gnome rogue and leaving, hence the “didn’t you cucks leave for IE” because I do remember you leaving over speed of progression in MC.

Like I said (but you left off your last quote), if you didn’t make it into MC with TR then you were probably a slow leveller.

In fact now that I think about it I vaguely remember you guys leaving because not all of your crew was getting into the MC raids. Hence you left for IE that could guarantee you all a spot

[Furiana-laughing-skull]

I remember it being very difficult to get into the TR raids due to the number people interested. I had to adjust my work schedule in order to have a shot and being invited.

Yeah, my memory is of raiding for 5-6 hours every night for progression, hence the need for a large roster. From what I remember we had 45-50 people on when it came time to making the raid

[Symm-laughing-skull]

I’ve hit the ceiling on bickering about insignificant details from 2004, so we’ll just go with your narrative k?

While you may vaguely remember us leaving for the above reasons, I distinctly remember one of our reasons being a desire to put some distance between us and a certain insufferable incel who happened to have a leadership position in TR. I’m about 100% certain we made the right choice.

[Ossoi-laughing-skull]

Well the only time you were forced to listen to me was in raids, but according to you, you didn’t step foot in MC until you joined in IE. So something doesn’t add up here

I don’t know what you’ve been doing for the last 15 years but I’m guessing a lot of hallucinogens were involved.

Does anyone else from TR during the period he’s referring to remember these mythical 40 man UBRS raids?

Oh wait, here’s a screen from UBRS, oh you got me that sure looks like 40 people, I guess the other 30 must all be shadowmelded

All i know is that Vio is still at the entrance of MC waiting for an invite

You’re right something doesn’t add up here, let’s examine it a little closer:

• We listened to you enough that we didn’t want to hear more.
• We only had to listen to you in raids.
• We didn’t raid MC with you.

What conclusion does this lead you to? Perhaps the mythical giant UBRS raids existed? Though I must concede that they weren’t consistently 40 man raids but basically just every person in the guild available who could enter the instance. You guys even had DKP setup for it.

OK, finally getting somewhere as you now admit there were no 40 man raids

But fking hell, what is this - creative writing class?

I know for a fact we didn’t have DKP set up for UBRS because I designed our DKP system for MC, which came after we had enough people to raid as just TR instead of the early TR/VQ raids

Got anymore Ossoi fantasy stories to share? I know you’ve spent the last 15 years praying for classic so we can be reunited but this time round I’ll be playing on a EU server

[Danthe-kelthuzad]

It’s true that there was no raid group limit to early strath, scholo and UBRS. After a certain patch they were limited to 10 and 15 for UBRS.

[Carvyre-executus]

Symm! Hey man, been a while! Funny how we’re spread out over so many servers these days I’ll definitely need to check to see where folks are playing when I get back - Herod looks like it’s going to be a queue-fest. It’ll be like legit classic!

[Senlayan-laughing-skull]

In this thread, please post if you played WoW on the Alliance side of Laughing Skull (US) in 2004-2006.

Good luck finding your former mates!

The reason Deus Vox “came from nowhere” and was able to overtake the more established guilds like TR, VQ and IE was because they EXPLOITED raid IDs in BWL in order to run MULTIPLE instances each week.

This allowed them to gear up incredibly fast and faster than the guilds that were not exploiting. And I suspect that it enabled them to entice players away from other guilds with the promise of easier loot.

A member of Deus Vox was very happy to explain to me exactly how it worked on Reddit recently, but wasn’t too happy when I pointed out that it rendered all of their “progress” and “achievements” worthless.

“Then we would grab 5 more alts and do this pattern 3-4 more times a week.”

“We did it for a month…It is not like we did it for 6 months… Get your head out of your a**.”

So their core raiders were doing 7/8 BWL bosses up to 5 x a week for a month, that’s 40 raids to get them the same amount of loot that would/should take 5-6 months.

So that’s multiple opportunities to get BIS items like DFT, Rejuv Gem, Nef’s Tear etc etc.

You can make the argument that other “world first” guilds were probably exploiting the ID too, but we don’t know for certain which ones were and which ones weren’t.

If you ever wondered how DV could “come from nowhere” despite being made up of scrubs that couldn’t get into TR, VQ or IE then now you know!

I know you’ve spent the last 15 years praying for classic so we can be reunited but this time round I’ll be playing on a EU server

Weird how you never stated any information about yourself or any intent to pair up with anyone, and then finished it off with that quote.

You just showed that your only reason for posting in a “Find Friends” thread was to bicker with people online and rage about facts from 14 years ago while downplaying other’s achievements and overplaying your own. Pathetic.

Edit: Who are you again? You never did say.

[Ossoi-laughing-skull]

Oh look Senlayan is back, last seen appealing for help from the mods and begging others to cascade the report feature with him.

My name speaks for itself.

AAAAANDDDDDD Point Proven.

Yes, it’s factually correct that Deus Vox exploited in order to get ahead.

while downplaying other’s achievements

Progressing in AQ after exploiting BWL for a month is not an achievement.

This is like criticising me for calling out Lance Armstrong for taking steroids lol.

Point Proven

Why do I need to say who I am? Anyone who’s anyone knows who I was on Laughing Skull.

[Senlayan-laughing-skull]

Let’s say I don’t remember and all I have to go off of is “some whiny level 17 druid named Ossoi on the WoW forums .”

Edit: I’m serious, who are you. Why are you avoiding the question?

[Jarlaxel-laughing-skull]

I don’t have the time to dedicate to raiding like I did years ago. Maybe I’ll make a healer this time. Decisions, decisions
