- Triton History

Well since the 10th anniversary of Everquest is upon us I thought I'd come out of my hiding place and do a special update. Ten years of Everquest means almost ten years of Triton. It is hard to believe that this guild has been alive and kicking ass for so many years. Triton started as a humble caster guild in the summer of 1999 by Zaar and Highfever because they wanted to see guild chat. From there it evolved to be on of the most recognizable guilds in EQ's history.
As with any organization that has been around this long there have been many twist and turns through the years. Early turning points for the guild was switching from a caster guild to a full-on raiding guild after a short time. Another was the invitation of the notorious team Varsity, which were a group of friends that played together unguilded and did things most people considered impossible. The addition of the clerics Traturn and Heihachi built the foundation for what would become the best group of clerics on the server. My own turning point came when Zaar asked me to come to the first Triton Trakanon raid to help and he ended up getting me to leave my then current guild Nightmares Asylum for Triton by bribing me with a Tolapumj robe.
One of the main things that has made Triton so successful over the years was strong leadership by many individuals. The leaders of Triton, in order, were Zaar, Giantt, Krohn, Astennu, Bentos, Slane, Dunric, Moonsilver and the current leader Arrowheade. A couple of us served as leaders multiple times because, as Bentos used to say, no one ever quits EQ (until he actually did, the fag). As much of a pain in the ass as it is to lead an uberguild I wouldn't trade my experiences with Triton for anything.
Well I could go on for about a year about all the history of the guild and the Povar server (Triton has never been on another server) but I don't have that kind of time. I should write a book sometime. Anyway here are a bunch of screenshots from the entire history of Triton. We are one of the few (only?) guilds to kill everything in every expansion as they were released. The screenshots show Triton raids from Phinigel Autropos in vanilla EQ through Lord Brekt in the Seeds of Destruction expansion. Seeing some of those old names brings back all kinds of great memories. Anyway enjoy the pictures--maybe you'll see your name. The oldest shots came from my good friend Traturn.

Welcome, everyone, to the Triton Guild Leader Inauguration ceremony of 2009. On Janruary 8th the transfer of Guild Leadership power has been passed on from Guild Leader G.W. Poonsilver, to Guild Leader Elect Beergut Whoisinsane Arrowheade. Arrowheade's taken on full responsibility and leadership of Triton, God help him. In his few short weeks in office, Arrowheade, his cabinet, Ayenia Rodham Cliton, Repthor the Colon Powahl, Physt the Secretary of Guildbanking & Embezzling, Organics Secretary of Cheeseburger Defense, Bristiladd Secretary of Labor and Guild Recruiting, and Tritons die hard guild members already have made MANY accomplishments. What accomplishments you ask? Let me name a few. Being the 1st guild in 2009 to single handedly consume enough beer to kill an elephant in one night. Being the 1st guild on Povar to take down every raid event in SoD, all the way through Tower of Discord. Being the 8th guild serverwide to utterly DESTROY every event in Discord Tower... Most importantly, being the ONLY guild SERVERWIDE, to do all that with NO pants on.
From left to right, Organics, Arrowheade, Ayenia....errr wait, that might be Repthor.
After having Korafax on farm status for weeks, we had gotten enough keys and loots to simply crush events 1 through 4 in tower. Only a few lame bugs could hold us back, like the nightly doors that randomly lock you out of events. Seriously, after 10 years you'd THINK SOE would be able to code a DOOR properly. We at Triton thought this was all a conspiracy to keep people from beating the expansion too fast. So we sent our spies into SOE headquarters, where they uncovered these classified documents.
A lot of guilds need a dev in their pockets to take down certain events. Maybe your guild has gotten keyed and flagged super fast by DZ exploiting all your tower keys in one evening. Maybe your guild has skipped progression raids because you found out you didn't need to beat certain events to get flagged. The funny part is, even with all these 'tricks' your guild is STILL behind Triton! To you legit guilds out there, that don't use new expansion bugs to your advantage, and still rip through the raids, we salute you... If there are any out there besides us that is. However, if your ahead of us because of skipping content or using glitches to get ahead, then have a big FUCK YOU, with a side order of GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE! Because Triton has single handedly taken on and destroyed every raid event in Seeds of Destruction, without skipping any progression raids or content, without using 1 single 'sploit' to get ahead when we shouldn't, and were still ahead of you.
The events in tower so far are a little different, some more fun than others, to say the least. Here's a rundown of the zone we so easily dispatched.
Event 1 involves Mr. Crab from the cartoon show 'Spongebob Squarepants', tons of baby crabs, and a bunch of fucked up looking 'maw's' around the room. Whatever you do, dont try to have sex with the maw's, they have way to many teeth. Triton made short work of this event, downing it in just a few days. We did learn one valuable lesson. When life gives you crabs, make crab cakes, from scratch!
Event 2 reminds me of that reality show, dancing with the stars. Because you dance around on this stage with these mobs like tards. The best part is when Usull does the robot with the Pyrilian.
Event 3 brought a tear to some of our guild mates eyes, as soon as they saw the 'Stasis Room' they realized this was there place of birth, ya know, in test tubes. This was one of the events we were actually stuck on for a couple days. Not because its a challenging event or anything. Its thanks to some nutty ass Z axis Line of Sight bugs, that were causing us to have to fight like crazy sex deprived inmates to win. We finally figured out the event was so much easier when you possition the mobs on the torches, they take SO MUCH fire damage and burn up in seconds. Thats the best way to handle it, really.
Event 4, honestly I didnt even know it was an event. It was more like an XP group in MPG. I just remember thinking to myself, this is an odd looking room for trash mobs. Next thing you know, the trash mobs were dead and we had a chest sitting there. Hmmm maybe raiding on to much Zanax isn't a good idea, but neither is creating raid events!
Event 5 is called the Sacrifice event, the event itself is actually pretty fun, but the trash leading up to it can bite my sack. Seriously, the Dev that made the Lightning mobs with the 50K AE's thats almost totally unresistable, and wipes the entire raid over and over, till you figure out how to work around the bug, yeah: I think I speak for all of Triton when I say that YOU SUCK COCK! Anyhow, the goal of this event is to stop the sacrafice, here's a video of how we did it.
Event 6 is actually pretty fun, I wont get into detail, except say this, if you want to practice this event, just go kill a bunch of raid mobs from 10 expansions ago. Can you say...
After spending several nights on event 3 and the Soother, we were suprised there was any paste left to create event 6, after we realised the Devs had been eating it.
Event 7 is the grand finale, and I must admit, it is a bad ass looking mob! One of three new mob models in the latest expansion. We would have killed this bitch on Sunday, but we wanted to watch the Super bowl instead and put it off till Monday. Its funny when you just decide... 'its time to own this shit' what you can do. Triton went back to its die hard roots, stayed up about 3 hours past normal raid time, and knocked out the last event on our 2nd attempt ever. Seriously, Kera in SoF could beat the shit out of this guy. When we took this guy out, half our raid was sleeping at the keyboard, and the other half was watching late night soft core porn on Skin-a-Max. Either way, Triton, you never cease to amaze me. I know our great guildleader ancestors would be proud, your roots run deep my children of death and destruction!!!
Well looks like for the next 9 months Tritons going to be farming the living shit out of SoD and its lootz. I hope they throw in some sort of filler content within the next 3 or 4 months to keep everyone entertained. I have a feeling this expansion will be the great equalizer. I bet were going to see half of every decent guild that can fill a raid beat SoD before the next expansion. Either way, thats fine by Triton, maybe then there will be some real competition when the next expansions released! Until then, take care of yourselves and thanks Triton for owning the hell out of SoD, and keeping us one of the top guilds server wide for yet another expansion!
If you want to become apart of Tritons elite team, if you want to put your skills to the test, if you want to be liberated from the Tyranny of pants, Triton is definitely looking for a few classes, an Enchanter, an SK, Bards, Shammies, and a Mage. Any other class feel free to apply as well, if you deem yourself an exceptional individual, we'll check you out.
