Which HNMLS is which?Follow

Okay, so I'm confused.

I have totally lost track of which HNMLS/Major LS used to be which. But they've changed names so often that I can't keep track of anything anymore.

Which ones have changed names, and to what?

I know that PaiMei is now something else...KnightsOfNi changed names too...WeStickTogether broke and then reformed? Or its people got absorbed? Did WhirlingWind used to be something else, or has it always been WW?

I'm totally lost.

The only two name changes I am aware of are

Knightsofni = Dynasty

and

NoThx = IonStorm

We, in Ion, have also toppled most the ground HNMs as well as getting involved in a serious relationship with Omega, Ultima and the gods of Sea.

theirs also Cato ls that change name

HNMLSkingbehemot = a name i cant spell lol but the pearl is a blue if i remember

I am seeing Mclean recently in the game. So is Safara coming back sometime soon :P?

Add:
Oh about Cato LS... It is called HNMLSNekoNekoCat. Neko = Cat in Japanese... So literally it is HNMLS Cat Cat Cat o.O

I think it is generally "bad" to call lesser ground NMs as "HNM"s anymore, nor I call Sky gods as HNMs. The reason is that for lesser ground "HNM"s, they are not so much hard to kill as in "HNM" meaning strong NMs. If I ever decide to camp Serkit, I only really need a Ninja next to me to kill it (with me being White Mage). So "strong" is not really a good description for such NMs, but of course the competition for them is still crazy... Claim is much harder than the kill.

Sky Gods are not HNM per say in they are heavily competed. The only heavily competed pop item in Sky is Ulli. With the exception of Kirin and Byakko, Sky Gods can be killed with 10-12 experienced people who are familiar with the god. With a really good group, you can even kill Genbu with an exp PT. The pop items of Genbu can also be obtained with an exp PT. I am sure you heard of the story a Red mage solo Genbu. A lot of "older" chat LS can take on Sky gods now without a problem, and I am seeing Maxemus trying that now :P

Sorry to hear Saf no longer with Mac... I know Saf... since first day of the game. Saf was like "god" when he is wearing AF when I am still like level 40 @_@ That was VERY long time ago.

Maxe and DV are trying very hard to get VanadielsFinest to be a highLevelLS and so far they are suceeding. As far as I know, they have taken down most of the Sky gods and can farm Sky easily. I know that isn't the greatest success story but for a Chat LS to start that is very admirable. Most just let their members go off to other highlevelLS and break up.

It don't matter. Their egos to big to get along and all they do is fight and claim whose better. When the time comes to do AV whose gonna drop the pride and alliance to beat the thing?

Every Praetorian but two got absorbed into IonStorm. Don't know if that means anything though. Maybe Samiex and I led some of the best. ^^ I am damn proud of my former fellow LS members and what we accomplished.

Maxemus is a great guy. I know him for a very long time. He will run a good LS. About PM, I was talking to Omegacloud today -- someone like Max that I knew for VERY long time. Things are going quite well for PM too -- despite of that thread I read recently on KI. I saw Tribal has a Dynasty LS pearl now. And I know notice Dynasty had gotten A LOT of people recently, and some such people grab had lead some really bad fights.... From what I hear, I am quite surprised even the people who are involved in those fights. It is my opinion that it is possible to move around LS without causing big fights and excessive bitterness. I know someone who did that very well. When Elyas left KTO, there were some bitterness, but people let him go nicely. Yet there are departures that are left with nothing but big fights and dramas...

I like the way I am doing right now. Glad to see Marzi, Hobbes Luchs, and Natael are still with us in KTO. HoE is mostly a casual chat LS now, but I like it this way. And DynamisLord gives me chance to meet up with some older friends like Requil that dates before I am part of KTO.

I am a hardcore player in someways -- I am an "elistist" in play skill and in player altitude, but also I dislike very business and intense "work" like style play.

HNMLS -- in its "traditional" form -- is not something I like, but there are people who like the excitement.

NoThx = LostExp = IonStorm

I never really had much experience with NoThx but LoadExp was a good group.. Had a really cool Taru in there for a little while.. :)

HNMLS is just a silly title, thats sorta of catch-all for all high level LS. I wouldn't really call Nerfed one but you have to at least be 65 to even be put up for vote, and we do Dynamis Limbus Sky gods etc etc, but rarely ground HNMs. (tho I'm getting pressure for a few black belt items so who knows..) However that being said, most would throw Nerfed into the HNMLS category.

For a little history lesson, Nerfed actually branched out from LostExp right before they reformed as IonStorm. (although very few current members used to be in that shell)

I was just in sky lvling with pld/smn/whm/sam/rng and WW members Sacryd Exceed Bluenu and Spiffy just came in and started killing all the mobs. ALL OF THEM! With TP burn

I promise if ANY of WW is lvling a low lvl job and you see me come into the area I am killing ALL of the mobs in the area. That was extremely rude of them and I am a firm believer in do on to others as they do on to you.

I calmed down after moving to lufaise to lvl. Don't really care anymore. Just gonna add to blist and keep going on. Its good to see they think they own the server. Its a shame WW can be even considered elite with attitudes like that.

Bluenu is with IonStorm.
