Still Life has never been a guild content in conquering a single game, and in our few years as a guild we have conquered many. From WoW to LoTRO, AoC to WAR, and yes, even Aion - we were there - while concurrently enjoying server firsts on Kilrogg in World of Warcraft.

While for some of us WoW will remain our home (as it was our birthplace as a guild), a large number of our members will be calling Eorzea our new official home beginning this September, when Final Fantasy XIV is released in North America.

A handful of our members are in closed beta now, fleeing from Nanny Goats, Dodos, and Cactaur. While it's too early to know details of realms and starting cities, know that SL will have a strong presence in XIV. There are cat-girls, after all...

Recruitment and realm info to follow in the coming weeks...

Although I don't know what the future holds for Still Life, it's safe to say at least some people will be back for Cataclysm. We may see you there, or in another game (FFXIV), but we'll be around somewhere.

We've been adrift in the recent months, trying to find our place in some MMO, and I finally think we found our calling.



Still Life will be a presence in the Hello Kitty Online MMO as soon as we can get everyone signed up. See you in Florapolis, Kitties!

All You Can Eat is pretty much the dumbest achievement ever. Period. Ever.


TI got theirs like 2 hours before us, and here we are bonding!


Heroic Lich King in the next few weeks.

We finally cleared Heroic modes of all but Lich King. Sindragosa was such a bitch - what a terribly tuned encounter. We had to have our hunter switch to his resto druid and our resto shaman go elemental so we wouldn't get 2 healers debuffed in phase 3 if our other caster got blocked.

And now we get to work on these dumb achievements.



Not looking forward to Neck Deep in Vile. Not at all.

A lonely Lich King, against the might of Still Life? I think not! Server second. Grats to TI on the other kill and good luck everyone else on theirs. Not an easy fight!





Heroic modes next week, as well as Sindragosa's and Lich King's achievements.

We're slowly working on Icecrown Citadel in 10-man capacity. It's kinda refreshing not worrying about server progression and just doing whatever you want with people you can trust. One day, I hope they lower the 25-mans to 15-mans. In the meantime, we'll just keep achieving in 10s!

Aion didn't quite work out for the Still Life crew. We played for a month, but ended up bailing. Only had one person reach 50. The game, while beautiful and certainly more hardcore than WoW, was definitely not casual-friendly - which is what we aimed to be in Aion.

A bunch of us are back, playing WoW, but with the FFXIV beta on the horizon, I think Still Life has a pretty clear cut goal. A bunch of our members were ex-FFXI players and with our recent visit to FFXI (which just wasn't the same) and the announcement of FFXIV beta, our hunger for things Final and Fantastic has returned.

Hopefully some of our members will get into the beta and check it out - roam around, see the raids and quests. Probably not until after New Year, but we are excited.

We are casually exploring the world of Atreia on the Vaizel server. Couple 40s, mostly 30s so far. Come by and say hi.

Although Still Life's presence in WoW is non-existent, we continue to play together elsewhere. We're looking forward to new games to hold our attention, possibly even Blizzard's new unnamed project. Expect to see signs of life here once Aion and FFXIV come out.

Still Life is done raiding in WoW. About half of the raiding core is disenchanted with the game and has quit. Few of us are going to be toying around in Aion, some are playing FFXI and others just living a life. No, you can't have our stuff. To quote Marsellus:

I'm at a point where endlessly clearing normal modes sounds boring and not challenging, while doing hard modes seems tedious and redundant.

That is basically the reason for people quitting, although a few of our key players just suddenly decided to have a real life, consequently rendering us crippled for hard mode progress. Unlike my predecessor, I don't have the desire to continue playing WoW. Nobody stepped up to lead, so the guild has ceased to function.

Those who will keep playing will be an amazing asset to other guilds. I hope you all find your place!

Peace out,
Ainx

A god is slain. Roughly 5 hours of work, figuring out a strategy that worked for us in Phase 1 took 3 of those 5 hours. Once that was done, everything else fell into place. Well done fellow Godslayers~



Going to start working on the meta achievements now. Stay tuned!

Still Life raided a whopping 16 hours this week and cleared all the way up to General Vezax. I'd say that is an accomplishment. That means that we do more while spending less time doing it! To commemorate the first week's closing, I bring you this video of our Mimiron kill. Download the HQ version here.



Nothing can quite show happiness as much as a warm and heart-felt compliment.



Till next time!

I died at 3%, but it was worth it.

Welcome to the new website and forums!

Old forums are still available here. We will be phasing them out over the next week.

Please register on the new forums. There are a plethora of features available with PHPBB3, and I'll try to write up a short guide on what tags you can do and use in your posts. These forums are a bit different than the ones you're used to.

Be patient as I add you all to appropriate groups over the next week.
