Ginnunga news

I present to you, the ultimate homage to the great Tlith, a.k.a The destroyer of Volcanos, Ruiner of vacations, Grounder of airplanes, but most of all he is known as The Man With The Hat(tm).




The original masterpiece, featuring the The Tlith himself, sporting his most glorious creation:

What's you character name and how did you come up with it?
My character name is Kosak. I came up with this when I started playing Warhammer after hours of torment trying to pick a new name. This one just popped in my head as I was thinking of regional history.

How old are you?
25 in about a week.

Where do you live?
Bucharest, Romania for 3 months a year and Stafford, UK for the rest as long as the my study will last which is another 2 years.

What MMO do you play at the moment?
At the moment I'm not playing any MMOs since I have to think of uni but when I get to the 2nd year I will decide if I can fit an MMO in my spare time.

Any other games currently?
At the moment I am playing Fallout: New Vegas after I modded it quite heavily and Skyrim!

What was your first computer game ever?
Now this is a tough question. It was a good long time ago but I do believe it was Dune 2.

What was your first multiplayer online experience?
My very first one I believe was Starcraft back when it first came out.

What was your first MMO?
My first MMO was a pretty small game called MU Online. Shortly after that one I went to WoW where I spent a few years.

What is your favorite snack while gaming?
That truly depends on whatever my girlfriend provides for me :)

When/How did you join Ginnunga?
Back at the start of Warhammer in october 2008.

Tell us your most memorable mmo moment?
I still remember the first downing of Kael'Thas in WoW. I was in a pretty small and hard-working guild. It took us ages to do it but when we did it was truly amazing.

Tell us something nobody in the guild knows about you.
Well let's see now. I have one of the shortest tempers known to man. It is well under control after years of practice tough.

Ginnunga has landed on Freedon Nadd. We had very few who got in for the early access since we originally didn't intend to play swtor. We did however, change our minds, so now we rolled out our lightsabers and coffee-can voices and prepared to take on the good guys. Being an Empire guild will be interesting, we are a bit worried about the population imbalance still.

Happy hunting everyone!

It has been decided that we will stick to playing Empire on the Tomb of Freedon Nadd server.

It is quite clear that the Empire side outnumbers the Republic side, but we are hoping it will even out a little bit more.

Not only do we get to play with a bunch of our good friends in the Renegade Legion, but there are some known names on the opposing side, which feels good, just hoping that the server imbalance will not be detrimental to open world PvP.

This is the first time Ginnunga will play on a side that is not outnumbered, so it will be an interesting experience. Since we have previously been spoiled with pretty much always being able to find a fight, our greatest fear is naturally not being able to find good opposition.

We are truly hoping that the Freedon Nadd server will be a great home for our guild in Star Wars: The Old Republic!

The guildlist for our assigned server, Freedon Nadd has been published.

What's you character name and how did you come up with it?
Hi, my character name is GARTAGUEUL. It comes from a funny French play with words. It helped me to find some french friends on my first MMO, Everquest. Later on when I joined Forsaken Realms, I catched Gartblabla as nickname since some guildies had trouble to spell my name (Not because I talk a lot!). Also had an other one but you have to find it :)
I use GART as surname on current MMOs.

How old are you?
I am 31 and I am doing better than ever!

Where do you live?
I live in Dijon, in France. A place that love drinking good burgundy wines and quality food.

What MMO do you play at the moment?
Even if I loved the Rift launch, didn't had more to spend as casual. So no MMO so far :(

Any other games currently?
Coop games mainly. Portal 2, TF2, BF3, a bit of Warhammer DoW II and StarCraft 2

What was your first computer game ever?
Monkey Island !!!

What was your first multiplayer online experience?
I did serial gaming with Command & Conquer + Doom, then Lan with Duke Nukem 3D. Online, was QuakeWorld with TeamFortress1 in 1998!

What was your first MMO?
Everquest in 2000.

What is your favorite snack while gaming?
I try to eat before long gaming night. During play a home made cappuccino and baked cookies :)

When/How did you join Ginnunga?
December 2001. My rebellious french mind gave hard time to the officers. Damn, was good back then.

I first joined "Les Korrigans", a mainly french EU Guild on Everquest. Back then, I was the little one in the guild and all other were able to start "raiding" with other guilds such as Ginnunga. I was always reading the /GU during raids and I started to imagine the others. Plan of Hate and Plan of Fear was such a big deal back then. Lots of legendary tales were going on about the Ginnunga Leader, Merkez... And one day, like a god that banned Adam and Eve from Paradise, Laurent Disbanded Ginnunga. Took me few years to get the why :)

Tell us your most memorable mmo moment?
I do have lots good moments from Everquest Era. 2 in minds:
I remember receiving a SMS for a call to arms at 1pm for VT. We were racing against Team Japan at that time for the Luclin end zone.
2nd : Our first Seru kills. Almost 1 hour of fight because most of our melees didn't had the right weapon. All dps from caster. Necro was pumping all their mana juice to cleric. Magician was pooping Rods for cleric mana regen and those crazy basterd Chain CH the MT (Gwarg if I am right). AWESOME

Tell us something nobody in the guild knows about you.
Sorry, I don't eat Snails or frogs.

Our 1st run in Dragonsoul and our 1st 3 kills (Morchok, Warlord Zon'ozz & Yor'sahj the Unsleeping) Must admit I was fairly disapointed at the diffculty level for the final raid of Cataclysm. But well done everyone

Star Wars: The old Republic.

Incase you missed it! Lucas Arts, Bioware & EA are releasing this small new franchise called Star Wars: The Old Republic. The first footage we saw a while back left most of us with one thought; omajged that looks horrible. Which resulted in most of us not paying alot of attention to the game, until we got our hands on some keys for the current beta weekend.








We were surprised, ofcourse it's not the most exciting MMO that we are all are waiting and hoping for with all kinds of new funky stuff that will leave us flabbergasted buttttt...this turned out better then expected. It is a real story-driven mmoRPG tho, which means there is ALOT of RPG blablablabla & blabla going on, every time you talk with someoen there is some cutscene with voiceacting and fancy conversation options. Awesome for the little roleplayer that is hiding inside all of us, horrible for the hardcore dork that wants to race to max level. The graphics are somewhat cartoon'ish, I've been told it is somewhat in the same style as that series "The Clone Wars", its nothing fancy but doesnt look bad at all, I'm hoping this will result in epic settings that would normally with 'Battlefield3 like' graphics be to hard for most computers. The combat was what surprised me the most, I didnt look at any video's or anything before I started to play but when I started to play and especially later on when you get your lightsaber and others have their big laser guns it really feels like Star Wars, you have the lightsaber and laser gun sounds blasting out of speakers while the things seem to go mental on your screen while your charackter jumps, flies and runs from one scumbag to another, which makes it look really action packed. I sorta made it to lvl17 and felt the game only got better, so that is a good sign. Lets hope we'll have something to do when we are max level.

Anyway! We decided that Ginnunga as a guild will also have a go at SWTOR. The game seems fun and entertaining and will keep some of us busy again for some time. So check back to see what side and server we are going!

For now, here is a small little movie I made.

Just Beth and Raggy left now, Great job everyone

Our 4th Heroic Boss in Firelands, Well done everyone
