  • Welcome To Hope & Glory
     

    Welcome Guest to Hope & Glory!
     

    Please make yourself comfortable and take a good look around, and we hope you will find everything you need.    

    At Hope & Glory we are a large, fun, relaxed, friendly and highly active gaming community of like minded people. We value good fun and great personalities over and above class, skill or level, but strive for excellence in our gaming achievements!

     You can find us in Lord of the Rings Online (Gilrain) and World of Warcraft (Ravencrest), and we will also establish Hope & Glory in SWTOR when that is released.

     
    We are an adult community with members of all ages from around the globe; we welcome players with a level 10 character or above – and we’re now in our third, very successful year together.
     

    In LOTRO we have a string of server firsts, some EU firsts/seconds and a world second, which include; first to complete Annuminas, first to kill the Balrog (Dec 07), first to kill updated Thorog (Apr 08), first to kill Gaergoth (Jun 08), first to kill The Watcher (Jan 09), and in July 09 we were first to kill The Blind One and The Mistress and to complete Dar Narbugud.

    In January 2010 we were the first to kill The Fellbeast & The Lieutenant of Dol Guldur, and completed Barad Guldur.

    Our fifth server first and world second was when we took down Thorog with just a team of twelve in Autumn 2008. See our news feed for further details on these achievements!

     

    On Gilrain, members of H&G can be found doing regular trips to BG, DN and daily radiance instances. Whilst we have a focus on the end game, it hasn't stopped us from still visiting The Watcher, Nornuan, The Rift and Helegrod, and enjoying other challenges the game provides. We have a rich and diverse calendar of activities - just click to have a look at what we get up to each week!

    In July 2009 we established Hope & Glory in World of Warcraft, on the Horde side of Ravencrest, and have continued to steadily build our membership base from just a handful to a healthy team.

    Our members' experience ranges from brand new to established veterans of five years of WoW! A number of our members have their own personal server first achievements and together we enjoy Guild-Only 10 man raids in Naxx/Voa/Ulduar/TotC and ICC, with speedy progression towards building our Guild-Only 25 man strong raid team. 

    A large number of H&G are enthusiastic PVP players, and our members have a string of personal server and EU first/second achievements. The Gramsfoot Lawn Tennis Club is home to some very active, high ranked creeps in LOTRO, and in WoW we’re putting together some Arena teams.

    If you are interested in becoming a member, or have any questions, feel free to join us in our forums, have a look around or speak to an officer and we will see what we can do to help.

    Lieutentant goes down...
    Mistaran, Jan 19, 10 8:10 AM.

    The Lieutentant of Dol Guldur is dead. He and his fellbeast are now composting nicely in the H&G back garden. Those daisies you can see next to the post box: that's them. Well done everybody. This was a huge effort by the entire kin and another well deserved first for Gilrain.

    H&G Clears Icecrown Citadel: Storming The Citadel
    Senorita_, Dec 19, 09 6:58 PM.

    On December 19th 2009, on just our second visit to ICC10, Hope & Glory successfully cleared the first four currently available bosses; Lord Marrowgar, Lady Deathwhisper, Gunship Battle and The Deathbringer - including additional achievements.

    The team worked brilliantly together; and everyone in H&G should be very proud of this success which comes just ten days after the content was first released.

    Those involved in clearing the raid were:

    Acrylia, Ajmhawt, Belletino, Deadite, Deathcaller, Drkwngdck, Kaylie, Killax, Levepatrygda, Pizzahuts, Senorita, Shenix, Skira, Warikari.
     
    Special thanks goes to Bent who in his absense very kindly provided food and elixirs for the raid to take place, and a special mention to Skir who in his usual calm way lead the raid superbly.

    Damn Spiders......!
    Mistaran, Dec 12, 09 3:11 PM.

    Many congratulations to Matt on hitting rank 9 with that seriously maladjusted spider. If anyone can actually kill it please let me know. Because I cant.

    Great effort Matt; another top ranked server creep in the GLTC.

    H&G Completes Ulduar 10
    Senorita_, Nov 17, 09 8:41 PM.

    Hot on the heels of our success in TotC10, on the 17th Nov 09, after many intense attempts, H&G in WoW conquered their third challenging 10 man raid; by completing Ulduar 10 and killing the end boss Yogg Saron.

    A huge congratulations goes to everyone that  helped with the many attempts - with special mention to Deadite, Belletino and Butpusher for the effort they put in (and particularly Deadite who let someone have his raid spot on the night we killed Yogg!).

    The final team that was there when Yogg finally went down, so smoothly you would have thought we'd had it on farm for months, was: Ajmhawt, Brigantia, Drkwngdck, Holby, Kjaerlig, Pizzahuts, Pumpan, Senorita, Shenix and Skira.

    Well done all :)

    H&G Conquers 10 man raid: Trial of the Crusader
    Senorita_, Nov 10, 09 4:30 PM.

    Tonight H&G conquered the last two bosses of the Trial of the Crusader that had beaten us in our first few attempts. Very well done to all that contributed to our many visits there, and the final team that took down Anub'Arak was: Ajmhawt, Belletina, Deadite, Drkwngdck, Pumpan, Senorita, Shenix, Skira, Vahn and Warikari.

    Congratulations team! :D:

    Promotions!
    Mistaran, Oct 30, 09 4:58 AM.

    Many congratulations to Irien and Dolireth!

    Long-time H&G member Irien is joining the officer team to lend his keen eye for attention to detail to our collective gaming enjoyment. He has done a fantastic job as hunter class leader, a role he will continue in for the time being. He will be a highly valued addition to the officer team. 

    Dolireth will be taking on the challenge of getting our up and coming flash/bang, Ent-marching, GFX-breaking Lore Masters into shape as the new LM Class Leader. I am told this is a class that presses lots of (different?) buttons so it will be no easy task. But Dolireth has a deep knowledge of the LM role and will be a hugely valuable addition to the H&G Higher Council.

    Best of luck to both of them in their new roles.
