Annual website maintenence is complete.

End of The Line.

2007-12-21T21:34:00.000+08:00

Well then, I guess you all knew this was coming, I knew this was coming, so I'm just gonna say what everybody is thinking, and seal this matter up.

Seeing as both the blog and launch page are no longer visited, it can be certain that this is the end of this project. It didn't last very long, nor have much success, but we tried, and that's all that counts. Thanks for everyone who participated, and cooperated, and I hope that this venture might teach you something, about yourself or the way things work in the world.

Alright then, time to nail the coffin shut.

This is Leo, and for the last time, this is the last post, thanks everybody.

Updates.

2007-11-19T11:04:00.000+08:00

Alrighty, now it's first impressions time for all the stuff I tried.
RF Online - Played till lvl 20. Meh, it's mostly about RvR so...was quite boring.
Rising Eagle whatever - Are there even people ALIVE in there? It's so frickin...barren.
DOMO Online - Is the awesomeest game I've played this year. QUICK GO TRY IT. And say the DOMO 5 times fast! DOMODOMODOMODOMODOMO. You know you want to. It makes your tongue TINGLE!

- Leo

Well, Snap!

2007-11-14T11:52:00.000+08:00

Yea... this site's pretty much turning into the situation with what happened with our story blogs. Anyway, please register yourselves on the guildlaunch site.
And lastly, since nobody took the initative to go invite [FRIENDS AND FAMILY] who are pretty much around you 24-FRICKIN-7 to join, we'll just have to make do like we always do.

Oh and also, since I got really really bored, I started clicking on some MMO sites, and am now in the middle of:
Downloading/trying out the following games:
- RF Online (apparently it's Rising Force Online, but let's just call it Really Fun Online for propaganda purposes)
- Hellgate: London (you know, honestly, it didn't meet up to my expectations in that it didn't make me go HOHMAIGAWD AWESOME. But it's still okay...which in this context, and given the developers, is rather a bad thing. Whatever happened to Diablo. Currently waiting for the bugs to be killed before playing)
- Rising Eagle Beta (??? I have no idea what this is. I saw it on Fileplanet. It's purportedly an FPS, and should be.. an MMOFPS?)
- ~~Space Cowboy Online~~ (the title is soooooo retarded.) [EDIT: SO IS THE GAME. STUPID THING CANNOT WORK FOR OUR REGION. BASTARDS.]

Is in the process of trying to acquire beta:
- Twelve Sky
- DOMO
- Shiyah or something

Planning to try:
- CABAL Online (This game was awesome in Beta. Sure, it had loads of lag, but the community wasn't as retarded as most. The system, design style and feel of the game was fresh and fun. Of course, this is bound to change with the crossover into Asiashit territory, but let's focus on the positives+game for now)
- Ragnarok Online 2: The Gate of The World (have no idea how this is gonna turn out. Seeing as the predecessor of this game was host to "Monies plz" beggar-noobs and Botting, this MIGHT be ugly. Might even be ugly-ER due to Asiashit. But ah well. Focusing on Cabal anyway.)
- Aion. This game looks good.

Is wishing to come out:
- .hack//THE WORLD
Footnote: If this was a real game, and it lived up to its background material made by CC Corp, I'd get down on my knees, and thank the makers of this game and cry tears of joy. For at least 2 days.

Feel free to add your own stuff, if you've even touched anything at all. Also feel free to join me on any of these, but please, post it on the GuildLaunch page. We have to get accustomed to the forums there anyway.

Paintball anyone?

2007-11-11T15:52:00.000+08:00

Okay, my cousin suggested we have a guild paintball session or something. So, i'm just posting this to inform you people..Paintball's probably gonna be at OCC [Orchid country club]. There's a shuttle service from yishun MRT to OCC, so if we go, we'll most probably meet at the MRT of something.

Other details, the cost for balls are somewhere around SGD$80 for 250 shots, excluding entrance fee, though members dont have to pay entrance fee..[anyone menber?]
80 bucks for 250 shots, then we split cost or something.
Booking is 2 days in advance, can get the hotline at their webby~

Date would most probably be somewhere aorund last week of November, one of the weekdays where we're all free. Anyone interested, PLEASE tell us or else this chance'll go to waste...or something. Oh and SOMEONE PLS ASK ALVIN. >>>>[Leo]
Aaand one more fella, maybe ask Edwin or something.. cause we cant go with 5 right. Min is 6 a group. [Sorry Oli... =D]

Whoever wants to go, just give your response under the comments section or just pm anyone of us or something. Oh and Leo can go get his....thing.. =)

More details to come.

Right, signing out. [YaTNitsuJ]

2007-11-01T20:18:00.000+08:00

Other Branches

2007-10-25T18:03:00.000+08:00

I've decided. I, in my free time, will sub-play alongside HG:L, CABAL Online and RO2 Online. Even though I hate Asiashit, it's more about the game, not the company. I don't have to limit myself just cause the company executives are all money-hoarding bastards.
I'm actually feeling quite.... disappointed with mehself for even thinking of playing an Asiashit game... but heck, I'm gonna try for it anyway. If it turns out like THAT one, then I'm just ejecting.

This, is what I mean.

2007-10-23T21:15:00.000+08:00

I've made something. You better see for yourself.

Oh my god, this can't be happening man...

2007-10-21T13:26:00.000+08:00

Goddamn it, Asiasoft is taking over the games I actually ENJOY. SHIT!

First off, they're acquiring Ragnarok Online 2. I quite enjoyed RO1, but cause of the bots, I quit. I was HOPING that RO2 might be a fresh start, but then, Asiasoft stepped in and took over it. GODDAMN!!!!!!! ARRGGHH!!!!

Second, another game I enjoyed THOROUGHLY during its beta, Cabal Online. Yes, that's right, it's Cabal. After 3/4 of a year Cabal is finally coming to SEA. But then, it got captured. But Asiashit. Great. Just great.

You know, if Asiashit aren't such corporate whores, I wouldn't mind actually playing one of their games, but UNFORTUNATELY, THEY ARE. And they don't use Gamemasters to police their servers too! Great! And we all know what happened the LAST time one of their games went popular and unsupervised!! "cc plz." "oi, this is my map." "KS WARR!!"

Yes. Thanks for destroying my gaming dreams Asiashit, thanks a lot.

Feelin' It.

2007-10-19T19:07:00.000+08:00

Oh. My. God. I took the time outta my day to go test the Hellgate Demo, around 2 hours worth, one for each class available to play at Demo, and I must say, it was awesome.
The classes available in the demo is the Blademaster and the Marksman.

Blademaster: The Blademaster had a 3rd person view, top down. Traditional movements, WSAD. The attacks were slightly floaty. I found myself running towards an enemy, and clicking the attack button, only to find myself drifting off a little before coming to a stop. That's not such a big deal, but the drift could be lowered a bit. Stopping still exactly isn't so great, so, at least a bit of drift. A BIT.

Marksman: Oh my god, this class plays totally in FPS from the get-go. The game is infinitely much more scary in FPS, especially when you see a zombie rushing towards you. AND IN THIS GAME, ZOMBIES (Or Necros) DON'T LIMP TOWARDS YOU! THEY SPRINT. AND TRY TO BASH YOUR HEAD IN.

The Feel: The game had a veeerry gritty feel to it. It's dark, eerie and got that...horror movie feel to it. To a toned down degree. The monsters are physics-rendered too, so when I chop down on some zombies, they fall appropriately. The game lives up to general hype for the most part. I can see the multi-player portions unfolding already. It'd be interesting.

Other than that, see for yourself! *Link to demo provided below*

It has come.

I'm not sure if it's international or Western countries only, but there has been a release of the Demo, for Hellgate: London. Too stressed and bummed from the impending exams and the studying, so nonsense and enthusiasm gauges are low. So I'll just add the link, and you can go ahead and try it if you want. Make sure to post a review on it too.

Update update update. Might be important

2007-10-14T21:06:00.000+08:00

I've just received news that, as of yesterday, Hellgate: London Collector's Edition has completed its stock distribution => they're all gone and will not be anymore.
Personally, I'm slightly worried about my pre-order, but if worse comes to worse, it's standard edition for me.
The official news post on this.

Also, for anyone who would have/is contemplating Pre-ordering from IAHGames, STOP RIGHT THERE. As of yet, the community/customer service of the company is severely lacking and isn't providing enough information regarding pre-order, heck, it isn't even REPLYING to posts at all. This is what worries me. So until further updates, do not click that pre-order button.

- Leo

Preview-Butter. Great on Toast.

2007-10-14T16:07:00.000+08:00

I've got a truckload of new demos on Saturday and I've spent quite some time trying em out. Lazy to study so, oh well.

Firstly: Call of Duty 4: Modern Combat Demo.
This demo mission plays out in the level known as, The Bog. An M1 Abrahms tank is stuck in, well, a bog, and it's the job of the player's squad from the 1st Recon to go secure the tank for repair and extraction. You'll fight through a caved in building, CQC and finally, out into the bog (more like a marsh) itself, to defend the tank, last stand style.
My thoughts: The action is fast, furious and in your face. It'll make BHD look like a fight between kittens in a cardboard box filled with downy pillows. Even in the lowest difficulty, if you lose concentration, rest assured, you will get shot down. The weapons are the type you'd see now, M4, M203 Nade Launcher, Nightvision, Flashbang etc, even a shotgun. And finally, no more shooting Nazis. It's fun and all, but it's getting old. I think people all over the world, in games killed more Nazis than the entire population of Europe put together. TWICE.

Secondly: Time Shift Demo
My Thoughts: This. Game. Is. Kick Ass. Seriously. FPS, you control time with your suit, can Stop it, Slow it or Reverse it. And you can do pretty nifty stuff with it, like, blow up a canister, stop time, jump on it, then release time and ride the canister up somewhere. Or, like I did, stop time, run up to a fella, take his weapon and then bash/shoot the guy with his own weapon. It's fun, very gory, so small kids stay away, and surprisingly, less taxing on the texture capability of the card compared to COD4, yet delivers MUCH more higher quality textures and physics and content. Great stuff man.

Thirdly: Age Of Empires: The Asian Dynasties Demo
My Thoughts: You know, if you played one of em, you've played em all. I'm not all that into RTS like certain people are in this guild, but I'm still okay with em. AoE is pretty much...normal. Build, attack, battle-cry a bit, win, yay. Rinse, repeat. Maybe it has some stuff you'd not see in another RTS, but...nothing that makes me go WHOA. Fine, I like action games better. But I don't see much potential in this. I could be wrong, maybe the actual gameplay would rock, but for now, it's just...ho hum.

Armaments.

2007-10-11T10:54:00.000+08:00

*Re-Post*
Ian apparently acquired his stuff and has contact with my supplier now. Premiums are still sold now, and from what I heard new and better stuff just came in. With check them out ASAP. Just ask Ian for more details.

Just thought some of you might wanna know in case you guys were interested. Also, observations show high airsoft possesion ratings in the hands of juveniles in the Pasir Ris East, Tampines North and Bedok Reservior areas. Be careful. Kids, especially the Malay ones on bikes, have no qualms about opening fire on unsuspecting passerbys just for fun. Although it really doesn't cause much injury, accidents can happen.

Oni Neko, nyaa.

Hellgate Update.

2007-10-07T20:20:00.000+08:00

Firstly, a relatively minor point before i get to the main issue, the IAHGames site has been slightly changed in terms of URL, so change any bookmarks if needed.
New Site: Hellgate Alliance

More importantly, and the main point of this post, is that Hellgate is now available for Pre-Order.
Check out more details on the Hellgate Alliance site.
Some brief basics:
Standard Edition = US$39.90
Collector's Edition = US$49.90
Keep in mind this is US currency, and exchange WILL happen.
For more of what's included in the boxsets, check out the site, and let me just inform you that their content, especially some of it, is EXCLUSIVE to PRE-ORDER only. Meaning if you buy after launch, you ain't getting the stuff.

(PS. I ordered the Collector's.)

Happy belated 17th birthday to Gordon a.k.a. Oni-Neko, our second most senior member to date. Rock on, Marauder.

In view of embarking on expeditions in the future, a survey will be conducted on which game title the Marauders should participate in. Currently recruitment has commenced for HellGate: London, however should there be any suggestions for future expeditions, please state them in the comments area of this post. Thank you.

This announcement is brought to you by the Technical Support Team.

Anatomy of a WoTM.

2007-09-29T17:53:00.000+08:00

For all those of you wondering, "What the heck're they talking about?", let me just say, that's not the first time somebody's said that to us. LOL. All that follows is a summary of what i was TRYING to say, before Blogger deleted my edit on Justin's post, and before Justin tried to stitch together some Frankenstein of a re-edit which now makes the edit make no sense. AT ALL.
Basically, regarding justin's post below, a WoTM, is the abbreviation for Weapons of the Marauders. The idea was started 2 years ago during December, during which there was about a 1-2 week period where my old computer decided to spontaneously die on me, and stranding me back into the Ice Age except now I don't have a sabertooth tiger fur loincloth, and spears made out of sharpened sticks. To stop myself from going insane, I had this idea to in which, a person could have his own weapon, it being the materialisation of a person's character, personality, preferred weapon type and style and allll that nonsense. Meaning, you think up of a weapon you'd like to have if you could. You can throw in all the functions and powers you like, with the only limitation I gave them was that for the weapon to be able to essentially function within a team, which means no uber powerful one shot kill powers, no hand-held Satellite Beam thing, etc etc. It also should have been be written in a form that would appear to be from a weapons encyclopedia (meaning no statistics, no *something-something percent* increase of something, purely literature). Like if someone were to suddenly fall into some cliched tomb through a plot hole and discover this book detailing ancient weapons of much power held by people known as Marauders. It went well for a while, then grew exponentially, to the point where we were churning out several in a day. But then it burned itself out, cause we went too fast, ideas ran out, the original purpose went off-course (it is my personal opinion that it was solely because of one person that this -problem- started, due in part to the person's shift from weapons to suddenly VEHI-****ING-CLES.), mental fatigue set in and we were all nearly zombified. So, now you know. They all can be found on our msn spaces on the left (<<<-------- )

[OOKAY, NEVERMIND, SINCE SOMEHOW BY SOME MAGICAL FORCE, THE PREVIOUS EDIT BY LEO DISAPPARED, I'll TRY to re-construct what he was ATTEMPTING to say. OKKAY, yeap, this was one of his random brain farts WHEN his comp broke down, and he was going completely nucking futs and insanely insane beyong all possiblity of returning to Earth when suddenly he came up with this random thing, to each create a weapon. Our own personalized kinda thing, i cant exactly remember what he said so i'm, just gonna say that it's just a representation of us, in a weapon form. Erm...ookay, that was somewhat wrong, but nevermind. MOVING ON. oh wait, theres nothing to move on to, cause i completely forgot the rest. YEAP, and wait WHAT, what's wrong with creating VEH-HEH-*******-CLES? =) ]

Name: Elemental Strike (Main) [Edit]

Type: Bow

Description: Harnesses the power of all the various elements to attack its enemies, eg. Fire, ice, lightning, holy,wind, etcetc. Does not require an arrow to fire. Bow must be allowed to have "warm-up" time to be able fire shots with elemental effect/damage. The longer the "warm-up" time, the more powerful the shots become. During charging, a yellow light surrounds the bow, and two streaks of lightning, from the top and bottom, strikes the two gems embedded at the edges of the bow. The gems then glow a bright green colour, and frost slowly surrounds the bow, and turning into a bright blue colour. A bright fiery glow then emanates from the bow, and it creates an arrow out of the elements.
After "warming-up", shots with elemental effect can be fired. Type of shot fired is based on what the user wants to fire. Up to a combination of 2 elements can be fired at the same time. Combination shots have the effect of both elements, but only partially, as compared to a single elemental-type shot.When charged up to a certain limit, user is able to fire a combination of 5 elements at once [Fire, Ice, Lightning, wind, poison] in one shot; each element-type has 25% effect of the single element-type shot. It is slower as compared to standard firing, but has a greater area of effect.

Precision shot: -
Single-type elemental shot. Elemental effect is only 45% of a standard element-type shot. Shot does 1.5x more Physical damage than standard elemental-type shots, and a 40% chance of getting a critical hit. Precision shots fly faster, reducing velocity-time greatly, but has minimal area of effect.

Energy shot: -
Non-elemental type shot. Bow fires out a burst of energy, does not have any elemental effect, does not do more/less damage to enemies with elemental strengths and weaknesses.

Silencing of spell casting: -
A bright circle of light surrounds opponent; temporarily prevents opponent from using any ranged atks or any special skills that it has. Note: 5% chance of silencing enemy for all shots

User Protection: -Creates a forcefield around user, reducing spell/ranged damage by 35%, Reduces melee damage by 10%.Note: Skill can be activated/deactivated; Once activated, protects user for 30 seconds. Can be deactivated at any time during this period. Cooldown time required for each activation is 65 seconds. Does not need to cooldown if limit of 30 seconds is not crossed.**The bow only recognizes its allies, does not work for/protect any others who use it.If in the possesion of enemies, bow does not respond to their commands, ie. Does not activate.
*Bow can be used with a standard arrow.*All shots have 15% chance of a critical hit except precision shots.*Maximum and minimum limits of the damage, elemental effects, etc. are dependent on level of skill of user.

Secondary:Lightning edge

Sorry, it looks daamn weird, but yea, i typed it what, almost 2 years ago sooo....it's somewhat..yeeeaaaa...a bit...ookay nevermind. UP!

Destination: HellGate.

2007-09-25T18:41:00.000+08:00

EDIT: Hellgate: London will come out on October 31st in Western countries. It is assumed to be the same date for us as we have a dedicated company managing the server and all other distribution matters of the game in SEA. For all who are curious, Elite status costs US$9.95. Tax & value exchange may or may not be carried over. Even if it does, it'll be S$15.92 => S$16. Elite status is a requirement for Officer status in guilds (probably sub-leaders).
+ minor changes at the veeery bottom regarding squad line-up. Added Justin.

Attention all Marauders. Our next group expedition will be for HellGate London.
It's the spiritual successor to Diablo, but it's not the same setting. Made by 75% of the people of the same studio who made Diablo. That said, it'll probably be a kickass game considering the people involved. Here are some brief details regarding the game. You can probably get more from sites like IGN or something. Or our LOCAL (singapore) distributor's site, which is awesome, since we'll actually be living on the same chunk of dirt as our customer support (THEY CAN'T ESCAPE ME NOW!!!).
IGN Main Site
IAHGames Site
(You might wanna sign up and stuff at the IAHGames site. Get updates and stuff. Might be useful.)

The rundown: It's based in a post-apocalyptic setting, like, 20XX, in London obviously, where a massive crater exploded out of nowhere from the ground, spilling forth demons (literally) that quickly destroyed most of the human population (i'm not quite sure if it's just London or the entire world. I'm thinking it's the latter). Out of the shadows, a secret Templar order dating back to the Crusades, who alone have the knowledge to defeat the demons, emerge and are tasked with the defense of London. The demons have started "hell-forming" London, which is like their version of Terra-forming, making the land suitable for living for them by stuffing as much death and decay as demonly possible.

My thoughts: Totally original idea, so Freshness factor rates high for me. Graphically, it kicks ass too so that scores high as well. Also, they have some nice ideas like being a Single-Player game, but with MMORPG capabilities without trying to be, AND kicking ass at it. And the multi-player function is what we are focusing on.

The Classes:
Foreword: Officially, there are 2 subclasses for the each but there is an extra class for ALL 3 factions. Probably Elite (subscribers) only. All classes heal themselves and should be able to sufficiently deal damage. There is no hand-holding, support class that deals damage like blowing air or tanks that have high constitutions to withstand hits but are somehow mysteriously unable to dish out high damage even though they have musclezzzz. THIS IS HELLGATE. There are NO weak classes.

Templars - They are the melee classes of Hellgate.
Templar Blademaster - Main melee DPS of group. Primary function is to deal damage with their ability to use Dual Swords. Tradeoff for power however, is a lack of staying power (unable to tank well). Best against 1v1 PvE scenarios. Float like a butterfly, sting like a CANNON.
Templar Guardians - Main tanks obviously. Primary function: Be a meat shield. Their damage and abilities rack up in power the more enemies are around the player. The more, the better. This class is able to wade into a bunch of enemies and kill more enemies than you can count in one hand in one stroke and take the sh*t too. Weirdly, it does worse 1v1 than it does mass mob rushes.
Possible Elite-only Class: Crusader. Holds 2-handed swords??? (Lack of info released by studio)

Hunters - They are the ranged specialists of Hellgate.
Hunter Marksman - Sniper class. The official description sums it up nicely. I quote: "Marksmen are less of lone wolves than they are walking armouries." This class deals in guns, guns and more guns. Probably the main DPS for Ranged.
Hunter Engineer - This class is hard to explain. It's sorta like....a pet class. The engineer can deal damage on his own with rifles, and also build and deploy drones to damage, stop, stun, burn, shred, cut or blow up enemies with. It's like having a little hovering robot army at your control. Like R2D2 + Badass + Rockets - Annoying squealing = Drones. I dunno, but this class seems more support-ish than the rest.
Possible Elite-only Class: Hunter Recon. No additional known info. My guess? Stealth? Radar marking?

Cabalists - The mages of Hellgate.
Cabalist Evoker - Main damage class for sure. This is the quintessential NUKER. Does a hell of a lot of damage. But, not suprisingly, they are glass cannons. Can dish it out the pwn but can't take it in. As with all Cabalists, they are highly dependant on Focus Drives (gloves that are the main casting weapon of Cabalists). Can dual wield Focus Drives (which is the main source of power).
Cabalist Summoner - Pet class. Like the name suggests, summons elementals and creatures and even demons to do their work for them. As with the Engineer, capable of doing damage on own.
Possible Elite-only Class: Cabalist Shapeshifter. Pretty self-explanatory. Maybe you get to morph your hand into a Reaper claw and smack something up nice.

Current Roster:
Me - Guardian/Crusader
Justin - Marksman
Gordo - Marksman
Alvin - Marksman/Engi
Edmund - Guardian
Josh - Evoker/Shaper
Sam - Evoker
Ian - Observer
[[*****Currently recruiting more members. Refer to bottom post for more details.]]

My plan until I can try out the game is to form squads. Based on dungeon size/in-game limitations, party size may vary from as little to 2-3 people per party or a large number. I plan to form 4 man squads consisting of as many variations in classes as possible. Preferably, I'd like to have 1Templar-2Hunter-1Cabalist formation. For now, it'll probably be formed into squads of Me-Gordo-Justin-Josh, Ed-Al-Sam-(member wanted).

State of the Marauders.

2007-09-16T21:48:00.000+08:00

This is an broadcast update for all Marauders. In the long absence of activity, our guild is now liquidated and information about members is largely unknown. I am here to provide information, as well as tell you of a project that I have been thinking of.

First off, I will be speaking about the State of the Founders. For all who do not know, or have forgotten, the Marauders was founded by the Original 6. That is, Alvin (SgtPouwell), Me (Leo), Justin (CptFoley), Gordo (Agent), Oli (Saburo) and Cindy (Takeshi88). 5 of us are still active and part of the Marauders guild. Oli however is on hiatus of her position as Founder to focus on her studies.
The last member, Cindy, otherwise known to Marauders as Takeshi88, is largely inactive, and by this time far too busy to be involved with the guild. Though unofficially, but effectively, Cindy is no longer a member in Marauders. However, she will still be remembered in memoriam as one of us.

Next, though I realise most of you do not hold much for the guild, it being an online guild and all, as well as the busyness of your lives, I strongly hope that your ties will remain with the Marauders in all endevours you participate in. Remember our Modus Operandi: Never Give Up, Stick Together, Work As One. I say this is so as practically all of our already small memberbase has been more or less alienated and we are now left with once again, little to work with.

To this end, I'd like to propose a project to all of you. This project, is to see Marauders not becoming just a small guild of a single game, but a clan tag. It is not a overly huge project, but more of a small experiment. The idea is for the blog to becoming a small community hub, where members would talk, group, party and then go for gaming sessions. It would also be a review hub, where people can come along and read about thoughts of a game that a member has played. A person need not be a hardcore chiongster player, Marauders does not call for that. You can play any type of game you'd like for any length of time, at your own pace. I have but one request. I would like, for all of you, whenever you decide to participate in any game, be it MMO or Offline, to give details of it, to any of the founders. We will then post this info on the blog. I'd also like for you to, whereever possible, find people to play with you in your games. We do not wish for you to force your friends to play with you, a simple question would suffice. Please then help your friend register with us, so as to expand our roster. Furthermore, we do not ask for all members to be playing the same game as the rest. Some shards might decide to pursue some other game, and that is totally fine. We only ask for you to inform one of the founders where we would then update our information as well as provide some advice.

Lastly, I also strongly support activities OUTSIDE of the game world, so to this end, I also hope to add small subsections for other things, reviews on a book, what movie to watch, lifestyle, news, funny things and my favourite, the Random Board. To this end, a forum is better for facilitation. I'd also like for any willing and free kind soul to help set up a forum for Marauder use.

In the long run, we hope that the Marauders guild, can be a strong social community network for you and your friends.

Thank You for Reading This! (seriously, if you actually managed to read through all of this text, you must be one badass person. =] )
