A Note left on the General's desk...

[Paladis]

Sifting through the daily reports he noticed a scroll bearing the Official seal of the Gorimdor High Council.

Finaly word back regarding his constant requests for reinforcements....

He read the note and the further he read the more his emotions became mixed, the was some joy but also alittle apprehension of what the future will hold.

Picking up his quill he penned a note to be read by all Kaldor's:

' News has come to me from Gorimdor about our requests for re-inforcements as follows. There are to be none this week,this month or even this year.

The High Council of Gorimdor has decreed all ongoing campaigns within the lands known as Sosaria are to cease. The Army is to return home within the week and recieve orders of the next more crucial campaign.

Signed

General Paladis.'


He also penned another note to be distributed between the occupants of Strongholt:

' With the withdrawal of the Army it is also suggested the citizens return to Gorimdor also. That said any whom wish to stay in these lands are free to do so and occupy the town.

signed

General Paladis'

So,it was finaly over. so long he had waited for this moment but now it was here he felt somehow empty. Whatever the future holds can it really have been that bad here after all?

[Paladis]

Basically after god knows how many years now A^K is ending its days.

Far far too many people to mention as being of influence to A^K from within the guild. Every single person past and present who has been A^K have added to the good times the guild has had. All have added thier bit to the Lore and its history without exception.

That said its no secret that A^K would've come to this point along time ago if it hadn't have been for Cal. I know we've had our differences at times and likely afew bad words said but no matter what any may say you did a hell of alot of the guild and ye get my full respect for that.

A^K has always been like a second family which is why its always been so hard for me to just let go (much to many peoples frustration) but i do believe if we hadn't stayed as the unit we were for so long A^K would've changed into something totaly different even more than it has done already.

The time is right now for the Guild to end because most of the main players have got bored with UO. Many are elsewhere both in other games and finaly found the importance of Real Life.

Also the community has changed alot over the last year or so,so much so it's become increasingly more frustrating to play a Kaldorian as intended due to OOC Politics.Guess its a case of many of us becoming unwilling to change the way we want to Roleplay the guild even more than we've had to already.

The 'Guildstone' (or whatever its classed as now) will remain under Pala and those wishing to leave the stone should do so.

Well to all Kaldorians past and Present i salute you all for making UO what it was when the times were good.


Steve...the arse behind General Paladis

[Victor Corona]

Wow. That sucks. And I just joined. :/

Thanks for the times I've roleplayed with you guys as a DOT, and now as an A^K. You all kick major ass!

[Dimman]

My time in A^K was great, and you - the officers - always did a great job as long as I was in the guild and as long as it was active.. Tho UO is a dying game.. unfortunately cause it was my favorite game of all times, but its not so great single player style heh.

May Kaldor be in our memories forever, sometime there will come a great roleplaying game again.. and who knows - we might get another assignment

[Duo]

Thanks for all the fun over these past 6+ years.

I'm not gona waffle on with names, it wouldn't have been the same without all of ye.

I'll catch ye around the MMO's.


For Kaldor!

[Dimman]

OO I got screenies too I'll post!

[Devante]

Something tells me this won't be the last we see of the Kaldorians though, i know theres still active A^K players out there, infact probably more players than i have in my guild (about 5).
So it's only a matter of time until someone else starts a Kaldorian settlers guild or something.


My Kaldorian bashing days are not over yet....

[Cal Soulshadow]

All good things must come to an end. Much as I've loved this guild and tried to keep it alive, I do believe it was Kaldor's time.

If anyone is interested, there's a bunch of UORPers (mostly ex UO now) on there including Mark (Visko/Moturdrn), Jeppers, Minimaul, Mordy, Jamie (Zool), Ranec/Locke, Sally Buttons and others, so feel free to join our happy throng. I made a group for us to keep in touch, reminisce, organise meets etc, so come find me here, send a friend request and I'll add you to the group. Or just keep in touch here if you prefer.

My accounts run out in December some time. I won't be renewing, so if anyone wants my houses, let me know (PM me). I'll be wrapping up Cal's story with an IC post when I've got time, but as for the real Cal, I'm going to chill for a bit, then maybe try Age of Conan which is due for launch in March. It looks as though it will lend itself wonderfully to RP.

As for Kaldor...we had a laugh didn't we?

[Cal Soulshadow]

The good ol' days.


Bagball in Nujel'm...back when Cal was a cleric (!!!) Well, it's a woman's perogative to change her mind, right?


A guild hunt to Khaldun...


Intimidating Trinsic...


Intimidating Trinsic some more...


And plain ol' rubbing their faces in it.


More peaceful times at the Festival of Tales...


And Serpents Hold market (complete with EGM!)


The Moot


Teaming up with LB to battle Vesper


Torturing Olk...


Jordan Jurrel and the duel for Lady Caroline's honour


Teaming up with Vesper...


And pwning loyalists in Serpent's Hold


And who could forget Boner?

As for me... I was always a bit of a rude 'un.




But hey, you get that in real life.

[Snubson]

From fighting a guild made from pains in the arse, to becoming a pain in the arse for them to fight (briefly >.>) and finally becoming one...suppose seen a fair bit of the green buggers..

...was good doin all the above with you and can understand steves standpoint with the guild, sometimes its good to end on a bright point and not drag things on and on. One thing I hope is, if a kaldorian guild does start up again, it doesnt get watered down and made into tea parties, that'd be a shame towards all those who've made the guild in the past....basically, be a pain in everyones arse, in a good way.

[Alderon]

Bugger, there goes the best RP guild ever.

Thanks for all the great times, everyone. My HD crashed a while ago, so most of my UO screenshots are gone... Well, heres 3 that survived:

Prepairing for battle.


Setting up camp


And another picture from the camp.


But things did not go as planed, and some where killed while we were gathering food. (Also seen on the picture: The beetle that i named in memory of my poor other beetle)

[Jamie]

*salutes* UO has suffered another Loss, thanks for all the good times, you will all be fondly remembered (and i'll try and keep in touch with you in some form or another)

Thanks to all

I have put some of the pictures in that News Item on stratics.

I hope you dont mind.

Comments on Kaldor's demise? Too many things to say - so I will just say it was a great guild.

[Geronimo]

One of Gnomys best times... I had sooo much time in Kaldor - lots of great people... and who will ever forget Gnomy and Cecul team...
