THANK YOU FOR VISITING FRIENDS LAUGHING! 



Welcome to Friends Laughing -- the most peculiar guild on Stromm! 

We are a small guild.  We never recruit.  We have grown entirely by friends we have met along the way who have joined us.  Many of us have known each other since we started playing EQ, and deeply like and respect each other. 

Character:  The core of Friends Laughing is friendships and helping each other.  We laugh a lot, guild chat is amazing, and every main is a guild banker.  As one member put it "...everyone in this guild does at least one extraordinary thing, every week, helping someone."  A brief mention of "I need help..." in chat is all that is needed to get a couple dozen people ready to drop what they were doing and answer the call!

Raids:   Although we raid Anguish and beyond -- most raids are "for" someone who needs help with a drop.  We definitely are not a classic pressure raiding guild!  Most members of FL seem to place PLing, pressing to get uber Equipment, and the forced raiding grind way down on the list of "things to do!"

Farming Crystallos with typical FL Overkill!!
Voxfire, Jun 24, 08 5:47 AM
Sheesh!  I think groups are dead in FL!  We all so enjoy doing things together that it seems like half our groups these days turn into the fun of a miniraid.  When 12+ people would prefer to drop what they are doing and give up exp the other day to kill grays in PoFear to help a guildie with a drop -- it says a LOT about FL! :-)

After all the work we had spent over the past few weeks getting 25+ flagged, we had made little use of the flags.  So yesterday five of us went there for only our second visit to scout the area.  Then a couple more came.  Then a couple more.  Pretty soon we had a miniraid, then enough to plant a banner!  (btw -- the banner does not work inside Crystallos.)


A few hours later 7-8 +450 and +500 drops, three essences, and we had a BALL!  And this was just the day after such fun farming MMM! :-))

Gratz FL :-)


When the going gets tough .....
Voxfire, May 10, 08 5:54 AM

..... the pally gets going?????

It was time to take on Mujaki for Nindyini's finale.  The legendary RaidWiper was ready.  "Let me MT that creep," she yelled to the denizens of PoNightmare.  "That drab-dressing reject from a B-grade horror film is going DOWN to the might of the legendary Nindyini!"

So she strapped on her armor, and you could see all the FLers just stand back in awe as she swaggered over to her MT spot.  There was disdain in her eyes, and a sneer on her lips as she looked Mujaki up and down.  Even veteran knights like Elintou and Arlanea stepped back in awe, realizing they were about to witness history … one of those moments you speak of in hushed tones to your grandchildren decades later.  “I was there, children, when the legend known as Nindyini defeated the mighty Mujaki.”

We all watched as she ran to the battle, sword raised high, confidence in every step.  We all watched as …. Oddly … she kept running.  And running.  And running.  And running.

No alternate text supplied.

“I’m not skeered,” we all heard her call out.  At least we think that is what she said.  From the distance it was hard to hear what she was saying.  Maerr thinks it might have been “I have a beard.”  We are not sure how to explain that one to our grandchildren when we recount the epic tale of Nindy and the Shade of Mujaki.

We were also baffled by how she got so far away so fast!  That mighty knight is FAST!  Fortunately, we did catch one glimpse of her secret, and now understand why the legendary Nindyini is able to move at speeds beyond that of most mortals, and is able to sometimes wipe groups in three different zones in less than an hour.  It is her mighty steed, Binky.

Scary Happenings when TD goes out of control
Voxfire, May 10, 08 5:41 AM

It seemed a simple thing ... do Scary's five final epic fights in an hour or so.  It looked safe if the 6 of us were careful ... especially when we headed to PoFear for her last drop from the wraith.

But ... we forgot to allow for FL's traditional overkill help.  Wheat we didn't realize is this time, the overkill idea was that TD would rush OVER to KILL all of us!

No alternate text supplied.



Well, at least he tried.  Pulling a train with him, TD decided to solo the Irebound Imp.  And the Enraged Imp.  And the Totally Ticked Off Imp.  And his 10 spawns.  And assorted wraiths, spiders, etc etc etc.

Despite TD's best efforts, we all survived.  And Fin was even abole to run up and get a surprise present, his epic drop!

Oh -- btw -- Scary got hers as well and completed her epic ... finally!



The three R's --- reduce, reuse, recycle, just add one... :D

Just add one... :D

You know you have been playing EQ too long when .....
Voxfire, Oct 28, 07 9:57 AM

.... you start killing time by seeing if you can fit into an oven?

(Story and photo found in a brown unmarked envelope -- appears to have been done by the unknown secret mystery reporter)

This looks suspiciously like the same dorf who was stuck in an ore cart in SSRA and various other locations.  That time he had to be saved by a nice passing mage.  Rumor is that the same thing happened this time.  But there seems to be evidence that Wildmare invited several friends over to laugh hysterically before using CoH to save the dorf.

Methinks there is a pattern here.

The worst is realized, a franchise!!!
Dharszolin, Sep 11, 07 3:44 PM

Onehearted stumbled upon some interesting information during her most recent travels to far away lands.  It appears Maer has started a Franchise of Healing Mob's in leiu of players.

The secret reporter, after learning this news, set out in search of these fabled locations.  This single photo was recovered but we have not heard from the secret reporter since and we fear for the worst...stay tuned.

When good chanties go bad -- Nibbz moves to the dark side
Voxfire, Jul 14, 07 7:50 AM

And he seemed like a nice, gentle gnome.

But Nibbz finally did it -- charming a cutte widdle bunny wabbit -- and turning it into the Dread Rabbit of Kyburr!

We have proof -- what levels of depravity will Nibbs sink to next?

Tarlang x 3 and guardians too!
Voxfire, Jul 14, 07 7:46 AM

The end of a great night for FL!  With more than 30 online it was time for some serious smishing!  Initially we planned to just take a group or two and kill Variglug for Distantsoul and Skelros.  But, as usual, everyone online wanted to help!  Plus, once we got to Barindu, we found Morgayn and a necro from her guild also needed variglug, so we added those two in and decided to go for the threepeat. 

So we formed a raid and killed Variglug three times for the skelly 1.5.  While there we decided to get a BiC drop for Moon, so we wandered over to a building where it turned out a bazillion tethered golems were waiting.  Once we figured out what was happening, we cleaned out the place and got the drop.

Then it was on to NC for revenge, FINALLY, against Tarlang for the necro finale. 

Tarlang had owned us many times in the past and revenge was overdue.  The wuss was skeered, so she asked Duranolin to come tank the first one (last time we tried this, I saw Dura and Fez both one-rounded by Tarlang.)  Well, talk about underestimating how strong FL has become recently!!  Tarlang went down faster than a certain diptwit chanty on prom night.

Dura had to leave, so next it was Handolur to MT our old nemesis.  To even things up, Maerr started healing tarlang, of course.  Then all the healers switched to mob support.  Moongod had to fight hand-to-hand.  For the last one Morgayn wanted the honors to MT for her guildmate, so we got the chance to see how a lady tanks a monster :-)

After seven great kills in about two+ hours, a couple groups were not done.  So it was off to Direwind to kill the guardians a couple times for the CoL drops.

Simply 2.0
Dharszolin, Jul 3, 07 7:15 PM

Yes I know I will probably get my Web access rights revoked after this hacking but.


GRATZ VOX on your 2.0

It could not happen to a nicer, more caring person in all of Everquest.

I have always stated we are family, and a
little bit of each of our souls is in that epic.

When you carry that epic, you carry your family within it; so we will always be close to your heart...always.
