		<title>Ventrilo MSG: Syncronizing</title>
		<link>http://www.imperium.co/forum/topic/5302-ventrilo-msg-syncronizing/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi,<br />
<br />
I have just install Ventrilo and when trying to connect to the Imperium Server I get the message MSG: Sycnchronizing, according to google it could be caused either by the Firewall on my PC or the one built into my router, has anyone else had this problem when trying to connect and know how to fix it?<br />
<br />
<br />

OMG! OMG! <img src='http://www.imperium.co/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/shocked.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':shocked:' /><br />
<br />
Those of you that we've played with for years know that Battal and i met in an online RPG 8 years ago and that after many hurdles and ups and downs i moved to Germany two years ago to live with him. <img src='http://www.imperium.co/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Last year on 11.11.11 he proposed on my birthday, fresh out of hospital recovering from a surgery (talk about the perfect moment hehehe). I said yes. <img src='http://www.imperium.co/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/grin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':grin:' /><br />

		<title>Internet weirdness with a message</title>
		<link>http://www.imperium.co/forum/topic/5285-internet-weirdness-with-a-message/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[This thread could also be called 'Weirdness of the Week'.<br />
<br />
Oddities I tell you!<br />
<br />
We all know there is a load of strangeness that goes on in our world that is represented on-line. Some of it is quite eye opening. We have our community mp3 player where we share the sounds we listen to. I thought we could have a similar thread where we share interesting things that either make sense or do not make sense, are just plain unusual and/or are genuinely educational and inspiring. The focus would be on the positive and uplifting rather than anything else.<br />
<br />
So, my first share is part trance track part nice graphics. It represents the possibility that our planet is hollow. Frankly I think this is ludicrous, but they do have an interesting point regarding the strange way that earthquake vibrations reverberate within the planets mass.

		<title>Gamescom 2012</title>
		<link>http://www.imperium.co/forum/topic/5250-gamescom-2012/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Hey!<br />
I attended last years Gamescom 2011 in Germany. Man, those was my best 4 days of the last year. Especially after standing 5h in queue I got my hands on Guild Wars 2 demo.<br />
I really would like to go this year as well, but I am not sure if it will be worth?<br />
Probably Guild Wars 2 will be released by then, Diablo 3 will be out. My gaming time will very busy and I won't have any spare time for other games. And probably all games what I will see in gamescom will be very dull and boring comparing of Guild Wars 2 HA HA HA &gt;<img src='http://www.imperium.co/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
Is anyone going to attend Gamescom 2012? Is any good game will be announced?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In response to the conversation in raid yesterday!:<br />
<br />
There was a raid leader named Az<br />
Who tried many years to bed Das<br />
but she laughed at his dick<br />
before being sick<br />
and booted him out on his assz<br />
<br />
There once was a guy named Azoun<br />
who liked kinky play with a spoon<br />
one day he had yogurt<br />
but then he forgot it<br />
and switched to a fork too soon]]></description>

		<title>Suggestion: New forum layout</title>
		<link>http://www.imperium.co/forum/topic/5182-suggestion-new-forum-layout/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Hey!<br />
I am here few days, and it it still very hard to orient in forums, it looks kinda... messy. I am trying to read/find all Guild Wars 2 related topics, and it is not very easy.<br />
And because Imperium is multi-game clan, it's makes things even worse.<br />
<br />
I tried to make new forum layout, what will keep Rift and Guild Wars 2 separated and easy to orient. Guild Wars 2 community will grow quite big, and we should try to separate those two games in different subforums.<br />
 <br />

<br />
<br />
It just a sketch atm. What do you think guys?]]></description>

		<title>Naming and Language Policies ... discuss please!</title>
		<link>http://www.imperium.co/forum/topic/5166-naming-and-language-policies-discuss-please/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<span style='font-size: 18px;'><strong class='bbc'>I have raised</strong></span> the question before, but now when I look forward to a weekend playing with many<br />
new members that I haven't met before I feel it is important to discuss this again since it matters<br />
a lot to me and I have a habit of express my feelings both when asked and sometimes when I should not.<br />
<br />
So it is as much self-preservation as a general concern about what direction Imperium take from here.<br />
And of course to prevent unnecessary clashes in the future. I really am a nice and easygoing man,but<br />
I know from experience that I also have a reputation as an "bull in a china shop" and I hate to be regarded<br />
as an ignorant bully.<br />
<br />
<span style='font-size: 18px;'><strong class='bbc'>If you want to understand</strong></span> my incentives better, read my <span style='font-size: 18px;'><a href='http://www.imperium.co/forum/user/708-mimer/' class='bbc_url' title=''><span style='color: #DAA520'><strong class='bbc'>About Mimer </strong></span></a></span><br />
.. when I come to think of it, read it anyway, because its content has changed a lot from the only sentence<br />
that whas been there since ages ;)<br />
<br />
Oki, back to topic ...<br />
<br />
<span style='font-size: 18px;'><strong class='bbc'>Naming.</strong></span> I do love playing MMO's and especially with all these fantastic people I met through the years, some of them<br />
I even been so fortunate so I met them in real life and had a blast!<br />
The names we use as our avatar or signum when we are online are important and reflect what kind of person<br />
we are and how we want other people to approach us. To some extent it also contribute to the image the guild<br />
we are in tries to uphold.<br />
<br />
<span style='font-size: 18px;'><strong class='bbc'>Language.</strong></span> Same arguments are valid for how we speak, wich language we use. Using l33t is a message in itself,<br />
and does not belong in a social mature environment.<br />
<br />
So what I want is a discussion about if we want to have a policy regarding those two concerns I have, and if so<br />
what kind of policy.<br />
<br />
I advocate that we restrict names to letters, uppercase initial and rest lowercase, and of course not offensive<br />
comercial messages and so.<br />
<br />
And I also want people to restrain themselves from using l33t in chat or on the forum. Using abbrevations<br />
like afk, nn for nighty-night is not l33t in my book though. Using l8r and b4 is. I am very confident that all<br />
of us can make the distinction what is what.<br />
<br />
<span style='font-size: 18px;'><strong class='bbc'>This is my very personal opinion</strong></span>, and would never think of forcing anyone to undergo<br />
a mental transformation if they are very attached to a name like xXstabyal8rXx, if the guild think it is ok.<br />
<br />
Opinions please ...]]></description>

		<title>Akylios and Warboss Drak walktrough (just  for laugh)</title>
		<link>http://www.imperium.co/forum/topic/5165-akylios-and-warboss-drak-walktrough-just-for-laugh/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Experience by best tank  in rift on Akylios fight.<br />
<br />
<strong class='bbc'>	Akylious - The hardest fight in game.</strong><br />
<br />
 <br />
<p class='bbc_indent' style='margin-left: 40px;'>People have told me that this fight is no longer the hardest fight.<br />
<br />
Well I think they are wrong.<br />
<br />
Well I finally made it through PHASE 1. I couldn't find out how to fight on this little bitty platform without running off the edge. It was entirely to hard, I felt like I was tight rope walking. Then on top of that waves come at you every so often and try to knock you off. At first I thought it was like a mini surf game, but I just sucked at surfing. My guild told me to put my Soul Surf on my hotkeys from the ascended powers tab, but for some reason the ability wasn't there. Then they asked if I had done the prequest. Nope.<br />
<br />
But finally one of the other warriors told me if I put on way of the mountain I would not have to worry about the surf board so I did. And no more problems with that.<br />
<br />
But then the adds started spawning at one point in time I was getting yelled at non stop because I couldn't interrupt 4 apostles at one time, they kept cast something called Tidal Storm and it would kill the raid. Needless to say I realized that you had to get the adds knocked of the ledge with the wave. Once I figured this out the game became very easy.<br />
<br />
So we finally made it through Phase 1. BUT NO when the platform spawned no one told me you had to jump to the platform. I couldn't see a gap so I fell straight in and we wiped the raid. I thought to myself "omg phase 1 again".<br />
<br />
Through phase 1 again, finally. I made the jump this time I was told to pick up Lashers quickly. I see the first one targeted it shield charged to it and would u fing know it I charged it right off the darn ledge. Wouldn't you know by this time I started getting yelled at being called bad. Needless to say another wipe.<br />
<br />
Ok I am ready now I thought to myself. I made it through phase 1 again this time only 5 adds left standing. The other tank ( i think he sucks ) but they say he is the main tank of the guild, is told to pick up lashers this time. I mean come on it was a slight mishap that I charged into the water. Oh well, they don't know about my skillz. I was put in charge of picking up adds. FREAK 3 adds spawn while I still have 3 on me. I run to the first one sweeping strike it, I realize I can't make it to the second one so I taunt. The third one kills 2 people before I get it. Luckily I blew aoe taunt. But when I did the lasher started hiting me from behind I died, after that we wiped.<br />
<br />
Im growing tired of this fight. I am wanting to go play some tetris.<br />
<br />
We go back in finally we get to phase 2 with 0 adds up, man this makes things easy.<br />
<br />
New adds spawn the "maintank" picks them all up and the lasher, I think to myself, man if I had his healers I would have lived. Then another lasher spawns I role play walk to the ledge careful not to fall off and pick this mob up.<br />
<br />
Slowly we progress to phase 3. The maintank is picking up lashers. Im sitting in the ranged. Suddenly i get this message about an orb hitting me. I am told to run to number 5. So I looking at my raid window count to the 5th person and run to him. He was killing a stinger. I stand on him this huge orb hits me and kills him. I ask in mumble wtf did he do wrong. They respond with we told you to run to 5 I told him I did.<br />
<br />
Then the MONSTER AKYLIOUS comes up epic beast he is. The maintank picks him up. They tell me to watch out for breath. Im tabbing but I can not find breath, im running all over the place. Then I get this message AKYLIOUS TURNS TO THE RIGHT I thought he was looking the direction he was going to spawn the add. So I run over there ready to save my guildies. I apparently sit through the entire duration of his breathe, I lived none the less. Then I get this RED BLINKING arrow on top of my head.<br />
<br />
They tell me to run to 9 this time. I open my raid window and again count to 9. It was some mage to the back of the platform. I ran to him and stood there. All of a sudden I get mind controlled. WTF? I start raging at this mage, thinking he got me mind controlled. Needless to say he messed up and got 2 other people mind controlled to. They killed us then rezzed us.<br />
<br />
Akylious then went back under water. The maintank picks up lashers again. Me I am just standing there waiting for something to happen. Then akyl comes back up. They tell me to pick Jonarau. I see him land he comes over to me and i aoe taunt due to problems with the targeting in the game. Then I run towards the range. All of a sudden akyl devours me and I am instantly killed.<br />
<br />
The maintank then picks up jon. They say to leave me dead, but I am to watch the fight.<br />
<br />
Not once did I mess up and this is how they treat me, really, aholes.<br />
<br />
They then down akil.<br />
<br />
The relic shield drops. I had more dkp stockpiled than the maintank, so I get the shield, he leaves the guild. Maybe he wasn't as good as he thought he was.</p>
<br />
