We’ve got a bunch of stuff done this week, but mostly: People have been returning! Garin popped up a bit more frequently, as well as RAAAAAAAIIIGEEE. Myri finally got off her City of Heroes kick and found her residence back into Vana’diel, as did Kigeca and Zaryph. And one of the more exciting returns is that of Biri!

We had an amazing alliance in the Dunes, ending up with 16 people in the sandy beaches fighting lizards and goblins and sheep, oh my! It all started when an un-named smartass Tarutaru telling Raige about skills and crap (or lack there of) under level sync, then going ahead and camp on top of us. Even went as far as calling us noobs, when he couldn’t even lead his party to do anything, besides having the NIN-tank die. He promptly ditched them to solo his Ranger and left to their own devices, their new leader Rickyorton asked if we wanted to alliance with them. I told everyone in vent to do it. Crazy shit. It’d be awesome.

The podcast has kept me really busy! Episode 10 of HS/SS and the Square Enix Podcast Tour special kept me away from the game and go figure; the time I *do* find for the game, it’s usually gone to waste (except for that one day I levelled Samurai).

I escaped the Easter Bunny’s grasp and am back to share the LS’s weekly achievements! Let’s see what we’ve been upto while we were feasting on the eggs and stuff.

It’s that time of week again my friends and it’s been quite an eventful week! Let’s check it out!

I’ll start with some unfortunate news; Serennie’s account was apparently hacked into and he was able to retrieve his characters. And as such, he started his new characters Roflcopter (Tarutaru mule), Galloen (Galka character) and Rorukatto (Mithra). Here’s hoping you find new inspiration and motivation to continue playing, my friend! This week is also April Update week!

I haven’t really done a lot this week, but I was able to participate in two very successful Promyvion runs for Serennie, Rahi and Seker, as well as help some people with some Wings of the Goddess missions! I gotta thank Serennie, Rahi, Sooraya, Arwin and Ravencroft for helping out with farming the 108-Knot quipu for the Windurst storyline in the past.

Also. Pankration. During Sooraya’s inactive-account period (It’s all up and running again ), I picked up this over-looked event. While I can understand why it’s been overlooked the way it has, it’s something that I can actually do to stay in-game and *do something else* if I don’t feel like levelling or farming or helping. My Ghost, Undead Jack, hit level 5 last night. Ectosmash (as much as I hate the move when it hits me) is his strongest move right now. I’ll have to research Pankration some more, but I’m at least accumulating Jettons at a relatively decent pace Perhaps we’re looking at possible ZNM runs in the future!

The end of the week probably handed us the biggest event (for the San d’Orians in the LS, anway)! Gustaberg is under San d’Orian control! For many people the last OP warp they needed to do, including myself.

Onto the others!

• Eruainur got WotG Mission 10 done (Which is the big Treant fight), a bunch of merits, and finished ToAU mission 22.
• Segan’s still Campaigning and got Sterling Star §§! Dragoon is slowly rising up to 33, and his Red Mage is at level 10.
• Ravencroft has finally joined us in game with his new powerhouse and merited off Trolls in Halvung and overall helping out a lot with Arwin. Yay! He also obtained Ninja Kyahan+1
• Ghostofonyx had his BIRTHDAY yesterday and being San d’Orian, it looks like Altana graced us (San d’Orians) with control over Gustaberg. Sorry Bastokers, but as far as I’m concerned, you can have Ronfaure XD. He also completed Storms of Fate!
• Katama entered the ranks of the Knights of the Iron Ram and opened up 4 Cavernous Maws in the past. Claimed Nunyenunc last night and got his Pilgrim’s Wand!
• Sigmund’s been drooling over the SAM/RNG combination and levelled it from 20 to 26! (Archery for the wiiiiiiiiiiiiiin~!)
• Kaixy completed his BLU AF and got his Black Mage out of retirement!
• Seker’s been Woodworking and got it up to 22, along with Ranger to the same level. Promyvion-Mea was finally completed so he can continue CoP! Donged to 74, but re-dinged 75 on his Red Mage!
• Last but not least in this update, Cressida hit MNK30 and WAR15, unlocked Dancer and Samurai with Segan’s help

Sorry if I missed anything, but that’s what this forum is for, guys!

New members this week: Uhm. refresh my memory guys.

Hey Kaixy, you probably have to be the Armor Storer’s favorite client. Full BLU AF now! Congrats

You probably noticed it by now, but I made a few updates to the website.

1: New layout. I’ve only been trying to get everything displayed the way I wanted, and now that that is out of the way, I’m gonna start working on the design and make it more Hyozan-ey.

2: Edited the gallery a bit, been uploading screenshots here and there!

Nothing else, really. The Ventrilo server is still down, unfortunately. Sigmund’s investigating this! I’ll have new things to post soon, as well ^^

People have been busy in the LS, keep it up !

Congrats on beating up the old fart, pal! Kicking off the personalized posts, Segan’s got a summary of how his fight went. Click on! Read More

Big update this week, mostly because I wasn’t around last week to do this! The slopes of Austria treated my fresh new Skiing skills well and I can say that I picked it up pretty well! I just wished I could’ve done it longer, I really wanted to grow accustomed to those shoes Anyway! I spent most of the week beating Resident Evil 5 (Getting that out of the way, you know!) and working on a long overdue episode of He Says, She Says. Episode 10 has been released yesterday, so you can expect me back in game again this week

We also take a sad salute to Biri, who decided to leave the game indefinitely for real life priorities (aka, he met a sweeeeeeeeeeeetheart ^_~). All the best in your real life endeavors, Biri! We’ll miss ya

So other than that, no updates on my or Sooraya’s end, but I see that everyone else has been keeping busy!

• Hileict got his Samurai from level 61 to 65, unlocked every job class (woo, welcome to the club!), learned Tachi: Yukikaze and Penta Thrust, Sterling Star §§ medal in Campaign.
• Eruainur’s been busy as well: Brown Belt was obtained with ups and downs. Nue was a horrible camp, but Morbolger was done while he was asleep! Go go Carbuncle! The Wings of Honor §§§§ is in his posession and started woodworking as well, which is at 13 so far.
• Sigmund’s moved RDM and SCH up to 40. Help him figure out whether to take WHM to 60 or SAM to 40 next!
• Segan got all his Recall spells, got the Bronze Star, his Dragoon to 32 and….beat Maat! WHM’s at 71 for him. My little WHM pal is growing up ;.; Seperate post with screenshots to follow~
• Our prize baby Ghost’s been busy too: MNK to level 23, as well as the MNK Relic legs..! Completed the ToAU missions and is now the proud owner of the Ulthalam’s Ring and his Glory Crown.
• Myri pushed NIN from 12 to 20 on Nelani and DNC to 12. Ashlee’s got enough Norg Fame to finally take on the mini-Avatar battle against Leviathan! She’s also ready to go for the 2-3 dragon fight. I’ll be more than happy to help out with that one
• Katama got Samurai from 30 to 32, access to Besieged after obtaining the Halvung Staging Point, resulting in his first Mercenary Rank: Private Second Class! He also got a veeery cute adventuring fellow. Shoutout to Serennie for the help with this.
• Seker finished ToAU with Ghost and hit his first 75 job with Red Mage!! I’m waiting for the screenshot, buddy.
• Danta’s got PUP to 30, his Stormwaker frame, unlocked DNC and earned his Signal Pearl. Rank 4 and Fishing Skill to 9.
• Kaixy’s been lucky with the treasure caskets in Xarcabard and got the Gothic Gauntlets. Nice DD/Tanking piece, I’d imagine!
• Cressida started the CoP missions and got access to the past, as well as Aht Urhgan. Monk’s gone from 23 to 25!

I want updates too Time to stop slacking!

New members in Hyozan in the past two weeks: Ravencroft, Arewin, Rashaa, Tekamachi and Cressida makes her triomphant return! ( I know there’s been more new recruits this week, lemme know who they are! tamtu @ hyozan.org!)

I wasn’t entirely happy with how the old layout looked, so I found a new theme that was cleaner and easier for me to edit. I’ve ditched the Event Calendar since everything is mostly planned in the forums anyway. In its stead, the gallery has been added! I’ve asked many times before for people to send in screenshots, because now we can post our Hyozan memories on our website!

I’ve also added a quick-navigation menu on the right to access specific categories faster I dig the icons!

Check out the Gallery to poke around two albums for now, I will have albums for Mission + Events, and non-battle related events. Thank you all for helping Hyozan grow strong and create wonderful memories all over!

Speaking of wonderful memories…Today is me and Sooraya’s 5th anniversary~ I’m happy to be with someone who is as much a nerd as I am~

It’s been quite a week! The korean BBQ was fantastic, btw. I’m now looking forward to a company skiing trip this friday until monday so next week’s update will come a bit late. There IS wireless internet at the hotel, but don’t expect me on laptop too often

This week, I got True Strike and Sharlene’s up to 47! The dry run I did with her for the Blessed Radiance quest didn’t go too well. I don’t think I’m going to let her tank and have her just focus on attacks and weaponskills since she’s really really close to Penta Thrust That should get enough hate on her for me to just focus on healing. Trixxi is also back! She was welcomed back with open arms after she was discharged from the hospital, so take good care of her, everyone! Oh. My Black Mage is at 34 now, too! 3 more until sub-level, and 6 until the money making BCNMs! I still want to try out the SMN Astral Flow trick. Sigmund’s got me all curious about it, and Eru’s confirmed that it’s possible XD

• Katama got his Teleport-Altep crystal and Dark Knight to 36!
• Eruainur was finally able to equip his Ochimusha Kote and rolled onto level 36 on his Monk. He’s got his purple belt, and working on his Brown Belt as well. The Mythril Wings of Service is also shining Bastokanly on his chest. Good job!
• Ghostofonyx did the same and got himself a Purple Belt as well!
• Kigeca finished Windurst Missions 2-1 (I forsee a Dragon fight in the very near future!), and 29 on Monk.
• Zaryph’s been rolling along in Hyozan and got his White Mage to 25!
• Retsujo gave Moblin Maze Mongers a shot and had a good time! His NPC Armittie hit 61 and he’s also working hard on unlocking King’s Justice from his Nyzul Great Axe.
• Segan obtained the Allied Ribbon of Bravery for San d’Oria, and hit 68 on White Mage!
• Kaixy got Samurai to 60 and is now sporting his full AF, which was already posted last week!
• Sigmund also got his AF armor completed and apart from Sleepga II, he’s very very happy with the job now!
• Myri’s been busy with her summoner Ashlee, hitting level 25 (Auto-Refresh, I envy!!)
• Biri finished the 6th and 7th gobbiebag quests and a full set of Dancer AF! Screenshot, man! Screenshot!

And that’s it for this week! Tune in for Moblin Maze Monday’s tonight and report to the Moblin Maze Managers Segan and Hileict if you want to join in!

New members this week: Patkirk and another one of Kelmore’s friends! I’m sorry I forgot your name!!!!
