In case you haven't heard. Sequel has decided to revert back to it's original purpose, at least for the time being. We're going back to being a group/slacker guild. With this format I thought I would give a rundown of the history of Sequel as I know it, told by Grandpa Gaven, probably through rose colored glasses.

Here are some stats procured by Scorpious about our days of raiding:

- Approx 1750 unique toons raided with Sequel from 2003 to 2010.

- Approx 8,700 Sequel raids were recorded from 2003 to 2010.

- Sequel handed out over 21,000 items (loot) to its members from 2003 to 2010.

 In the Beginning...

In February of 2003 Legacy of Ykesha Expansion was released, with the release of the new expansion SOE decided to open a new server, Maelin Starpyre. It was originally supposed to be a no transfer server, but they opened transfers to it and a bunch of guilds and people transferred here. Crimson Tempest (from The Nameless), Valoran (From Karana) and Remedy are the only ones I remember but I think there were 4-5 total PoTime/Elemental Planes guilds who transferred here at the time.

 As an aside, since Maelin was originally to be a no transfer server, to give people a fresh place to start/start over with no high levels, but they changed it to relieve some of the overcrowding by high level guilds in EP's/PoTime, So many people were pissed they started another server with no transfers allowed, Stromm.

 Sequel was formed when a group of people who were all guilded together didn't agree with the direction of their guild. So they got 10 people together (back then you were required to have 10 people to sign the guild charter so a GM would created the guild)and created "The Sequel" to the guild they were leaving. I don't know who the original 10 people where offhand but I remember Donuld (the original guild leader) Kickout, Bartleby, and Zung. the server was only about 3 weeks old at this point Making it one of the oldest guilds on Maelin and probably the oldest guild born on the server.

I joined some time in May of 2003, and there were a few active people in the guild, but not a whole lot. I became Gaven the Ranger Tank when we started a pretty much daily group of guildies leveling together since we had no real tank at the time. Our daily group was Donuld the Shaman, Hedbonker the Cleric, Boone the Monk, his wife (sorry forgot your name) the Rogue, and Gaven the Ranger. Tired of watching the ranger die from tanking, we started looking for an LFG tank to join our group. Enter Raris the Shadowknight. After getting him killed 4-5 times trying to get to our group and doing corpse runs, he joined our group, and after some harassing became a member of Sequel. Finally we had a tank =)

We started to pick up people on the side of the road here and there and the Sequel Short Bus started to pick up speed. We decided to start raiding (originally we were going to stay at 52 and do Naggy/Vox but that idea didn't last long)  and since a lot of people in the guild were new to EQ (what? no such thing as new people in EQ!) that wanted to see as much of the game as possible we started doing epic raids, lower end kunark/velious stuff and some luclin mini's. We had our first real raid in August of 2003, it was a Western Wastes dragon, we wiped, but the dragon died. We eventually set a goal of Vex Thal. In August of '04 we entered, and defeated Vex Thal.

FROAK!

We wiped a lot.

Klandicar Kill, We're Awesome now!

Check out our phat strats:

From here on we were a wrecking ball of raiding, while still keeping the family guild ideals, we started PoP flagging, and epic 1.5's and defeated PoP in August of '05. We slowly but surely started beating older expansions while dabbling in the newer ones.

We had a few near-deaths, and subsequent recoveries. Along the way people busted their asses to keep the guild going forward while still being fun. We zerged the hell out of things, we used bots whenever we had to (at one point I think nearly everyone who raided had at least one bot). In our Cornaiv kill we had like 108 people in zone . It was a blast. Here is a buttload more screenshots too.

 

 

Sequel today defeated Underfoot's Fippy-on-steroids, our first Underfoot raid kill!

• Grats Kolossus on Girdle of Unending Strife
• Grats Ladymusik on Mask of the Undying
• Grats Lonewoolfx on Palladium Natureborn Wristguard
• Grats Yugyy on Palladium Sleetstorm Sleeves

With todays victory over the 2 remaining Earth theme events, Sequel has now defeated all SoD raid events in all themes,

For the first time in Sequel history, we have finished the endgame content for the most current expansion...not bad for a guild without mandatory raid attendance %.

Let the farming begin (until Underfoot arrives!)

Even though Sequel has defeated the endgame boss in Tower, we had some unfinished business back in Rathe -- the Zek Brothers -- as difficult as any of the tower events.   Tonight sequel vanquished both the Zek Brothers event and Eriak's downfall in Rathe.
