First and before anything else let me say Happy Holidays to everyone and thanks for hanging on through everything ! We are finally on our way back up to the top ranking spot we worked so hard for early on. Our numbers may have thinned since our first month but we are back to steadily recruiting and hopefully within the next two weeks we'll have about a dozen new 50's running around(myself included). Now the forum/website hasn't been used nearly as much as it used to be and it's finally become clear the the in-game legion message board isn't on the top of their to-do list so just to help keep people in the know, we'll be back to trying to post news to the front page with whats going in the the legion and the game so even if you glance once a week you'll have something to gain.

In the weeks after Christmas my biggest goals are to get the legion working together again on large group activities(i.e. Fortress Raids and World Bosses) somewhere in the forums I will start a list for people's AIM's or MSN's sometime soon. I personally blame myself for not putting a bigger effort into it sooner, but hopefully we can turn that around. We will have a post up in the next few days with a vote of some sort to see what day/s work best for people(I want to see FULL <Fate> Alliances again SOON!!)

Here is how you can best help the legion retake our spot at the top of the ranking list
#1. Level! Level, level, level, go grind your faces off with all the double exp times, use up those lodas amulets grinding mobs on these weekends...get a good static group together if you can and crank out the levels, save your quests for the mid-weeks when you are bored and need something to keep going(I went from 41.75 to 45.25 stopping only to do the Betoni's Quest-line at 43 just in a weekend, someone with more focus then I can easily go much further)
#2. Recruit! We have just about 30 slots in the legion still and probably need Sorc's and SM's more then any other class, but there isn't really anything unusual about that. Recruiting doesn't have to just be up to myself and the centurions...I am kind of biased when I tell people that my legion has the best players on the server, but it's what I honestly believe so I ruthlessly try to get people from other legions, I'm straight-forward with people when I think they are good and want them to roll with us...
#3. Craft...ugh...right? This is either for you or not for you obviously, at this point it's pretty clear who in the legion fancies spending their time listing and re-listing what they make...as the leader I can't force anyone to do anything but it's respectable to cut your legion-mates a deal when and where possible, we all know making money in the game is a bitch(I am in no way wealthy in the game, the most I have had to my name is 3mil, I give away what I can and hope karma will balance it all out in the end!)

Obviously the most important thing on this list is leveling...the more 50s we have the easier it is to do ANYTHING and by grouping hopefully you can help us out recruiting Just keep your eyes peeled on the legion message for day-to-day information and here for longer term plans(and strategies soon!)
