Today at our End-of-year Lemmings initiate jump I was completely taken by surprise by a special thank-you gift for my guildleadership over the past few months: a Mekgineer's Chopper! Now as Grandmaster Engineer I've been able to craft it myself for a very long time, but I never had enough time to grind for the required mats and gold. So I'm really happy with my new chopper, and I want to thank everyone who contributed to the crafting of it from the depths of my heart.

Well today my dream finally came true: not only did I complete the Chef de Cuisine achievement (learn 160 cooking recipes), but I also completed the Hail to the Chef meta-achievement (complete all cooking achievements, except Chef de Cuisine).

So it's Chef Neti now

For the past few weeks Wilgje has invested a lot of time in the guild, especially in setting up our new web site, which severely cut into her playing time and interest to play in general. She was halfway in grinding the money for her epic flyer, but with the way it was going and the upcoming start of the new school year, she had lost the courage to grind the other half.

Therefore a few guildies decided to surprise her and give Wilgje the missing half of the gold. Last Saturday a Special Event was organised on which we handed over Wilgje the money. In the end we collected 3000 gold, which combined with Wilgje's savings was more than enough to pay for her epic flyer.
