• Congratulations are in order for Sartanus Meekslayer also for reaching 50!!
• Helphyre NBrimStone, congratz on 50!!
• Latest screenshot in, a Lyonesse Storm... thanks Maxy :)
• This group of 8 took Caer Boldiam on their own.. Maxy said "Was shocked we did it.. weeeee"
• This just in from Rae/Leilynn.   Ps, thanks for the SS's Maxy, they are posted!

Mithra (lvls 6-15) meet at bridge
Salisbury Plains (lvls 10-20 many lvls can fight here) meet at WD
Keltoi (lvls 16-24) meet at CU
Tepok Mines (lvls 20-28) meet at Ludlow (really aggro)
Cornwall (lvls 18+) once again, many lvls- depends on grp)
Catacombs (lvls 25-34) meet at Cornwall Station
The Barrows (lvls 34-50) meet at WD

These are just some of the beginning ideas i've had....i also know that AM has lowbie areas, as well does Camp Forest. I am just not as familiar with those areas and the lvl appropriate stuff to kill.
Other places i would like to see us take some xp groups into include AM, Lyonesse, Llyn Barfog, Frontier, Dartmoor. But i dont have much experience in some of these places myself- so i definitely would need some assistance from someone more familiar with those places.

I know that this guild is starting to get its share of high lvl chars- which is great....so there always seems to be stuff going on in DF and the Frontier, as well as BG/RvR .

Well, that is about it for the moment. Let me know what you think. I was thinking maybe trying to do these on Sunday afternoons/evenings. That seems to be when most people are available. Also i was trying to get some feedback from peeps the other day and someone said that once a week may be too often- so maybe try to do something every other week or so. Like i said- i am new at this and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated. I will talk to you guys soon.

• Congrats to Raivven....seems you now have 2 lvl 50's, one seems outta reach to me.. :)
• Welcome to all our new members.. and congratulations to Samoan, new member and lvl 50 :)
• Raewynn Blackblade / Leilynn has volunteered (with a little coercion) to become our Social Coordinator.  She will be organizing at least one guild event a week.  This is an endeavor to help those who would like to get to know their guild mates/ gain a little xp/ help others etc.  These will be targeting different lvl ranges, areas etc.
• Congratulations to Maximusarticus, Amoril, Healinia and Megadeath on reaching Lvl 50 :)  Congrats to Drx too... on hitting the big 50 :)

June 20 2002

• Been busy lately, hope all is well, Maximusarticus has admin rights if you need anything done.. hope to be back soon.  By the way, Tolly has set us up a new board, link on the left.. thanks for that..  Anyone have any ideas on the type of content they would like on the boards ??  Ideas always welcome :)

• At the Meeting held in Camelot we discussed (1) Inviting (2) Promotion, (3) PvP and (4) Guild Alliances. 

(1) Inviting
Everyone agreed to keep the current system "as-is"  Any member, regardless of rank can invite new members into the guild.  They can promote up to the level below them (eg Lvl 7 can promote to lvl 8)   .... NB Ranking is as follows: 

Guild Master - Rank 0 - Knight Protectorate
Rank 1 - Sapphire Knight
Rank 2 - Emerald Knight
Rank 3 - Ruby Knight
Rank 4 - Valiant Knight
Rank 5 - Heroic Knight
Rank 6 - Renowned Knight
Rank 7 - Brave Knight
Rank 8 - Bold Knight
Rank 9 - Knight

(2) Promotion
Promotion should be given if someone feels that another has helped others, this means others players, not just fellow guild members.  Giving a promotion is a way of saying Thank You.  You can check your rank by typing /gc who .. this will also give you members of the Black Knights currently online, their designations, current location and ranking.

(3) PvP Server
There was a little confusion regarding this issue.  Mythic were calling for applications for beta testing the new PvP server.  I put our guilds name down for this.  This does not mean that Black Knights would either become PvP or that we would move to a new server.  Truth be told we probably wont even be selected to participate in this and it will probably be on the Pendragon server, or another server that is dedicated just to PvP.  There is NO way i want to start again on another server. 

(4) Guild Alliances
We are currently allied with "The Faithful" a group of Paladins led by Ysur, if you see any members of this guild, be sure to introduce yourselves and if you get a chance fight with them.  Burratus called in and he has shown an interest in allying his new guild with us.  If anyone else knows anyone that they have fought with, let us know who they are and we can look into the possibility of further alliances.  We are also "unofficially" allied with Fallen & Forgotten, Champions of the Rising Moon and Chaos Brigade. 

Thanks to all who attended.  I think it was decided that we would meet on a regular basis on a fortnightly time-frame. 

In closing, I would like you all to make lists of what equipment you have to donate to the guild, and if at all possible, post these on the notice boards.  Then if anyone wants anything they can /t the person with the item in game, and they can either meet them to hand over item, or take to next available meeting.

• Had a lot of fun this weekend, took the CK in the 20-24 BGs Thidranki ~  (ahem and lost it)  and i was there when Albion took the CK in the 25-29 BGs  Murdaigean, haven't looked in Caledonia the 30-35 BG. 
• Again, welcome to all our new members.. and Miriamele, here are some of the cleric links i promised ya :)  Also, look on the Links page.. there are some useful things there.
• Drezzy made a good point too.. why don't we think about having a swap meet once a fortnight (open to debate) where everyone can bring items they no longer require/cannot use, and distribute to members who can utilize.  :)
• Welcome to all of our new members... hello to all our current members... :)
• Scheduled guild hunt with Fallen & Forgotten had to be postponed because of a death in Forts family, condolences to you Fort.. sorry for your loss..  Fort has said that this Sunday would suit F&F.. will keep you posted with updates..

March 2002

• Here are a few more links that might make life in Camelot a little easier.  DA Atlas has details of areas, and monsters and NPC's in that area.  Camelot Lore has an article on hunting, this helped us a lot.  Finally, DAoC Catacombs have nearly every map you will ever need. 
• There seem to be quite a few names missing off the current guild website on Camelot Herald.  Also has anyone had a chance to see the character builder on DAoC Catacombs and, if you are having problems with quests, look at the Camelot Warcry website.  There are a lot of resources out there, give me a tell if you would can't find something.   Have a look at the links page sometime...
• Welcome to you all.  :)

• -First Dragon killed .. and bugged
  
  For all those that don't know, Golestandt (Albion Dragon) was killed on Palomides tonight. That was a major event, and congratulations go to all the brave Britons, Highlanders, Avalonians, and Saracens who participated.
  
  The bad news is that it looks like Golestandt did not drop his treasure, as intended. He certainly does have a big treasure index, with lots of goodies on it. First thing tomorrow we're going to look
  into why he failed to drop anything. I'll make a post on the Herald as soon as I find out what happened
• Black Knights guild formed.
