Unfortunately, their guards did not see it quite the same way, so our outing ended in many of the ways Lilli-outings end: Perched high atop one of the rocks of Durotar, we sang our holiday songs, bringing in the new year and wishing all the best to our enemies. Not going to lie, having enhanced senses (as all Lillis do, thanks Clone-o-matic 5000) sometimes has drawbacks.īased on our last excursion to Thunder Bluff, we decided to spend some time exploring the base of the bluffs, to allow our angelic voices to carry up to the celebrating Horde. Their Arcane Patrollers, however, were less impressed, so we moved on quickly, despite applause from our fine elven hosts. The blood elves of Silvermoon City were most appreciative of our caroling.
It may or may not be true that the local constabulary were called in for a group of gnomes disturbing the peace. Once all were assembled and in place, we began our journey to bring holiday joy and good spirits to the Horde capitals! There may have been some behavior that the tall ones would consider “inappropriate,” but the local populace did not seem to mind. It wasn’t hot until the Lillis got in it. While waiting for the sacrificial summons to be moved into position, amused themselves on New Year’s Eve in grand gnomish clonish tradition, by getting smashed, putting on their holiday outfits, and taking a dip in the local hot tub. I, for one, will miss all us crazy white pineapple-haired gnomes.Īny time the Lillis get together, there’s bound to be mayhem, frivolity… I’m sorry it ended this way, but I’m glad to have shared these memories with you all. Special thanks need to be given to Psynister, Fynralyl, and Narci for providing a massive underpinning of support on Durotan for this endeavor, and for Alas the crucial driving force behind. No Lilli is irreplaceable, not even this one. Thank you. If someone else wants to pick up this torch and carry it, please – do so. It was an amazing time, an amazing thing to witness. Everyone pitched in to help, be it gathering mats or helping to write articles or even just leveling a Lilli. I wanted to thank all the Lillis for helping to build something ephemeral and wonderful. It was my mistake, and I am really, truly, sorry for it. We’d built a little haven from the grimness of Warcraft and it was ours, and someone took it from us. And worst of all, I let them.
It hurt too much.I can say that now, but I couldn’t say it back then. I didn’t want to talk about it at the time, even though I should have. Perhaps I should have known better and trusted less, limited invites, vetted applicants, asked for blood samples to power the Clone-o-tron 5000.īut doing so would have been against the point of. That someone saw fit to snap the bonds which brought people together to have fun – silly, zany, madcap fun – really upset me. They – you – brought a dose of silliness and mayhem and a spark of life to WoW. These little pint-sized clones brought a lot of joy into a game that doesn’t always have it. I don’t think I’ve every laughed harder at people’s antics in a video game than I did with the Lillis. I offer this not as an excuse, but as an explanation for why the dethroning happened.īut I can’t explain why a Lilli would sell out other people’s enjoyment for a few thousand gold. Many of my friends had stopped playing, and Amicus Fidelis – the host guild on Durotan – was going on a raiding hiatus. But nothing came up.įebruary had already been a tough month for me with WoW I was barely logging in at all to any of my characters, let alone my Lilli.
I spent those first few days scanning a lot of auction houses, looking for the characteristic +22 Intellect enchant which made up the bulk of the guild bank. In the case of, with its extremely flat hierarchy, this meant that any of some 125 Lilli characters were eligible for the job. One of the Lillis assumed control, transferred the guild off server, and took the guild bank with them.īlizzard confirmed for me that the guild had been transferred, but could not disclose the identity of the thief. The guild bank was taken, but more importantly, the guild bond which brought the Lillis together was taken away.Īt that time, guild leaders needed to log in to the GM character every 30 days or else they would be dethroned, with the rank becoming available to any character of nearby rank. Sometime in the first week of March, the guild was destroyed.
