Greetings, Hyomies! Hileict here and this is the MMM Mondays Recap!

I’ll be covering our recent jaunt within the moblins merry maze this week.

Before I begin, I would like to personally congratulate everyone on a job well done! Not a single death, from what I know. One or two disconnections but as a whole, those who participated even after I left all performed valiantly.

Firstly, listed below are the members who attended throughout the night between 6pm EST and 11:56pm EST, in order of appearance and/or tabula use;

1. TamTu
2. Hileict
3. Katamatoo
4. Trixxi
5. Katsukora
6. Sooraya
7. Segan (with a guest appearance by Cressida <3)
8. Danta
9. Kaixy
10. Zaryph
11. Mitzell

As a quick note before I continue, TamTu graciously assisted us with our first run and eternal thanks to him for taking the time to hang out with us! Kaixy was also a rather gracious little Tarutaru, as he joined us for quite a few run-throughs, however accepted a party invite upon his turn. Our thanks to you as well for joining in on the fun.

Now, onto the further details!

Runes were few and far between for our mongers this time around, however Zaryph received 2 for his very first run since his crash course earlier in the day with myself, Kaixy and Hiroken. Mitzell received 1 rune and Trixxi also received 1. At this moment in time, I do not have a record of which runes they did get, but I’m sure if you ask them nicely, they’ll be sure to let you know what number the runes were!

Approximately just over 5000 exp total was accumulated from the entire night’s event and two members gained levels during the night. TamTu on his Summoner just before the end of his maze and Danta, also as a Puppetmaster some time after as well. As a minor note, for every run, the party was level synced to Danta’s 21-22 PUP.

For those that were on Ventrilo either listening in or bantering as we fought, it was quite an entertaining time had by all. I highly encourage everyone to utilize the Vent server, even if you do not have a headset to talk to us, you can at least be included in the shenanigans.

As far as I recall, that is the jist of the overall outcome of the night, it being our highest member count to date. We even stayed within the boundaries of a Monday (except for myself and Zaryph of course )!

And now, before I finish up with some screenshots I took of the event, when I was present for it, a quick message from Segan: “This made me so FREAKING mad! From about 6:00PM EST to 11:56PM EST…almost 6 hours…of taking snapshots… Fraps epically failed and I didnt get a SINGLE picture. So I totally failed last night T_T”

All I can really say is, fear not Mr. Yennul, for Mr. Adaloft has supplied! In saying that, if anyone else has any screenshots they also have from this run, feel free to send them to either myself, Segan or TamTu so that they can be added to this here post, if needed. Otherwise, you’re more than welcome to submit them to the thread in the screenshots section of the Hyozan forums for just this occasion!

The Hyozan Legacy MMM’s: Monday #3

The above link will lead to a gallery at ImageShack I just uploaded with a select few screenshots from the night, starting from the Qufim party to the main event inside the maze. Enjoy!

With all that out of the way, I thought I’d take a moment to sincerely thank each and every one of you for restoring my faith in Final Fantasy XI and Vana’diel itself. To be honest with you, a few months ago, back when I was switching from Odin, to Bahamut.. Then to Phoenix.. I’d considering hanging up the Great Katana and moving on with other things. This would have been one of the biggest mistakes I could’ve made in something like this. All I’ve ever wanted is to be able to spend my time playing with a close-knit group of people I now consider not only my close friends, but almost like a second family. From the very bottom of this cold-hearted, stubborn Elvaan heart, long live the legacy of Hyozan. /salute

I look forward to many more of these to come, same time next week everybody~!
