Bit overdue for an update, but we've been killing lots of stuff and <MT> firsts!  On our last draft we ambitiously chose to go for Tunare and we crushed her on our first attempt with 23 brave souls!  We even got an earring out of her that went to our big shaman Gheeny.

Following that up, we've been doing lots of team ups with our friends at Lineage, and we even grabbed a Takish kill lock this week for another Tunare and got each guild a Girdle of Living Thorns amongst a few other fun drops.

During the last draft we also decided to go after a few new Temple of Veeshan inner ring targets and nailed Aary, Dagarn, Koi and Lady M.  Our grind up the west side of the ToV with 19 people was pretty epic and required some people totally locked in but that's what makes MT fun, everyone matters and is important.

We met a handsome dwarf in City of Mist while helping complete some Shaman epics and he decided to come roll with us and we had a fun few days helping him upgrade his Abram's Axe of the Stoic to the full Pally epic!

Then some more of our usual goofing around!

But finally, we're getting closer to again, raising the bar for the guild.  We started week one with a big competitive Lady Nev and Zlandi kill, we moved on quickly to city leaders in taking our a handful of Dains, and then winning a natural Dozekar.  Since then we're now onto Tunare but there's one big boy left we have our sights on...  The only track record we have after 9 short months is that we keep fighting and building, so keep betting on us and come give MT a try.

Awesome and great natural Dozekar kill for MT this week!

Was kind of a fatty with 2 Platinum, 2 Silver and 1 Serrated Tears.  The team did great, especially considering half the raid had never done Dozekar, it was competitive and we killed it flawlessly without a single death.  Goes to show how great out new members and applicants are and also credit to the training and raid lead team of <MT>!

VP is always a fun time for the monks in their PD outfits - been great getting some robes out of there.

Oowch also believes people will believe he unlocked the Beastmaster class if he can win this bear over.

We also got several white scales since our last update and completed two epics, with another pending us finishing up the quest for Balmore Jr!

And lastly, after many adventures in Howling Stones this month, we have a new buddy...a Pom Buddy!

Looking forward to this upcoming draft week and doing some new trainings, potentially some new targets and having more great times with our MT friends and family.

There's never been a better time to come over to Discord and fill out an application.  We raid seriously a few windows out of the week when people are interested, we go for the best content possible and we are extra willing and friendly to new players and raiders looking to explore Norrath and learn roles and participate in the encounters.  We'd love to meet you and welcome you - new friends and old.

Enjoyed some of our usual kill list the past couple of weeks, but this one was one of the MOST fun I would say is worth a watch.  Competitive Trakanon kill while out numbered.  One tank, a rogue kiter, a few enchanters, and a plan (pogohopper inspired).

We also snagged a double hammer Dain on the quake, which was awesome since we haven't been getting any hammer luck the past few months on our usual Dain kill.

Sleepers has again been fun for us, as we love racing and competing in there.  In the span of a month, we managed to lock down THREE Primal Spears.  Rogue team looking stronk!

Our team loves alts and loves to do Epics - including even offering to help with any epic steps on nights we are free for anyone on the server that needs a hand!  

Talk in game to Dennen or hit him up on Discord (you can find him in our <MT> discord in the link) - come hang out with the crew and kill some kunark stuff.

Here's a few we completed recently...

There was also a pretty fun Easter Bunny Unity Vulak - with some Kelsiferous' Armbands of Artistry scored for Tiempo

And I'll leave you with one final super hero sighting...

Looking forward to the next adventure and we hope if you read this far and are looking for some fun adventures where everyone gets to pitch in on a fight and the fun - you'll consider MT.

-Dals

So some fun things since our last update, including some MT first kills and our first server Draft.  It was fun to get a break for the week to practice some new skills and engages along with really investing in our team and training up on some new roles.  At MT there's a lot of pitching in and wearing a variety of hats in order to accomplish the lofty goals we have each week.  What we've said many times, is we're an open door policy guild to any and all if you just have an attitude that's about finding ways to contribute and be a part of the winning and the game in any way you can.  Nothing about what we're doing it meant to make things low man, but some of these really cool kills we've been having have just been about everyone that's present, being present.

Our first Yeli kill was super fun, and we did it with 23 brave souls and learned a ton about how low man this fight really is feasible with.

And we backed that up this week with out very first Hoshkar who was carrying Suede Slippers and a Green Scale

We killed Phara Dar twice in the last two weeks and got Teefa and Masticate some robes they had been after for a looooong time.  Worked our perfectly.

We had a small team for our Draft Roll, and I am now barred from future rolls for how terrible I have a habit of rolling

And right before the lockout began, we scooped Pixelpunch their final Efreeti piece to complete their look as Godsend's wife

And I am going to share our top secret new Dain trick for anyone who has made it this far....  We have cloned Gimpo!

Few other fun shots from the past month and we hope to see you all in Norrath soon!

The new year brought some new kills for the guild as we continue to try and mix up our targets to keep things fresh and fun.

This recent quake we cleared out most of Veeshans Peak, with a handful of lair kills that gave a handful of people who have never explored the zone a chance to see what is likely one of the coolest zones in the game lore wise.

We took down the zone's premier diva, Phara Dar without a death, which felt great!  (We followed that up with Silverwing, Druushk and Xygoz before calling it a night.)

During the draft week we had also spent some time piling up the wurm corpses to get our guildmates some spells, including: Torpor, several copies of Dictate, VOG, Bane of Nife, EOT, etc.

Throughout the past few weeks we went after other targets and had success killing a scheduled quake Dain which McCreary won a great race on and also some of our usual efficient kills based on the players around that day with a 6 man Vox and pretty low manned Lady Nev.

A few people also got some cool achievements, such as Gooberina a Sky CH neck with our very first Sky day.

Godsend got the Christmas necro Abashi for Godawful:

And Zux has successfully speed run how to make a raid cleric in under 3 months!

A few more fun shots to follow of cool accomplishments and fun evenings with friends in Norrath.

Please check out our discord for grouping opportunities, or interest in applying and raiding with us.  We’ve worked on a new onboarding program for new raiders that want to learn and to make joining our team as seamless and fun as possible.

-Dals

City Leaders were the next target on our progression journey growing the guild and our first foray taught us a lot about trying to 16 man Dain Frostreaver IV.  Two attempts in a competitive quake setting taking over 2 hours and resulting in a wipe at 4% when some pets got a little unruly.

Some laughs were had at our expense…

But part of our MO is we learn, grow and keep trying, so our next opportunity we were prepared and confident.

Dain Frostreaver Slain!  A pretty epic battle.

We were fortunate enough to have sped our kill time up enough that we made it to TOV and nabbed a fat Jorl - Double Onyx Chain Leggings and Silver Chains.  Gooberina was able to nearly complete her fashion look.  No one can tell entirely if she's related to Dromo or just a fan girl.

Loot bonus also treated a few of our members quite well!

We were super thankful that we were able to participate in the Thanksgiving Unity Vulak where Voight picked up a Jaelen’s Katana

The team did a kickass job also winning our first natural Zlandicar spawn at prime time.  Pretty flawless and awesome kill without a death.  Everyone knows he’s our fav undead dragon!

And some of our members had luck on their side at a few camps

Lastly I’d just like to say we have greatly enjoyed the chance to play with some of our newest members and applicants.  We’ve had a handful these past few weeks and it’s a joy to see the effort and enthusiasm our new friends have brought.  None of the recent kills would be possible without their contributions and great attitudes.  Special shout outs to Makhai, Gheeny, Fakya and Ganrok!  We’re thrilled to share a roof with you.

Recruitment continues.  We’d love for you to give us the opportunity to be the guild for you if you’re into having a great time, killing dragons, becoming a contributor or just logging in once a week to have a laugh and shoot the shit.  There are no requirements besides a positive outlook and an eager attitude.

-Dals, 60 Warrior

We are open and looking for players from all backgrounds, experience and playtime.  The only common trait we require is a sense of purpose towards playing this game for fun, achievement and finding a sense of accomplishment with your guildmates and team.

Many of the players at MT are some of the most active trainers on the server.  From basic game mechanics to the most detailed nuances of racing and raiding - so anyone interested in adding tools to their belt or simply isolating a valuable role they seek to perfect, we have people willing to provide you that opportunity.  There are numerous training videos we’ve created and people available to spend one-on-one time for any question.

Alternatively, if you have an hour or two a week to login, love having a laugh, killing a dragon and getting back to real life there isn’t a more fun place to pop in and feel like you made a difference.

Our goal with MT is not to create the best guild at killing dragons, or demand the most of our raiders.  Our goal is to foster an environment and a culture that is about playing for the friends you’ve made online and provide a place you can feel respected as a person and accomplish any goals you have set out to achieve in Norrath.

Please inquire on our discord to apply or ask any questions:  https://discord.gg/XNpkWUh3Yv

Onto some of the cool kills of the last couple of weeks:

Lady Vox decided to wait all day and spawned in the last 90 minutes of the window, meaning there were about 15+ racers on the line from every guild.  Quicken came in first, which was poetic, as while we were hanging out for the afternoon he showed us some of this original Seal Team Vox FTE’s from years past.  We somehow managed to clean up what was likely the most trash I’ve ever seen at a Vox engage and kill the dragon with 9 total raiders.  Pretty huge high to end the day on after a bit of a long sock.

We ended up grabbing two Vanikis this week as well to add some Willsappers to a few toons and we noticed how handsome our Ogre bodyguards are.

We swept all the Fear golems the last cycle, which was pretty fun. A lot of our players really enjoy Fear racing so we’ve been having a good time choosing that as a focus every three days.  We had a kind of oddly timed Terror as well where it was just myself and Mccreary and we said ‘screw it, let’s go’ and he solo’d Terror while I kited the zone.  A handful of wort clicks later and we made our ROI with a 2 man broodling.

Then last but not least, we finally caught a Vindi at a decent hour for us and managed to down it with 11 people total.  It was definitely a grind, but the OBS are a hoot and show how amazing everyone in the guild has been at communicating, adapting and showing how much success can be found with a bunch of selfless friends.

Happy belated Halloween to all!  The GM event is mid swing and we had a cool server wide PvP event to kick off draft week.  In the end, across the whole server, the final three players were all Marginal Threat - who took a bow to rep the team.

Hats off to Quicken and Status coming down to the wire with the eventual champion…

During the past natural cycle we had some really fun kills and engages, including Lady Nev, Draco, Lady Vox, Terror and some other smaller targets.  Each week we’re picking up more steam as people become more interested in playing together amongst friends, and the selfless environment we’ve tried to foster.  Even some old friends and faces have returned to play which has resulted in some really awesome times.

We’ve been out here killing a few of the fun event spawns when we see them:

Congrats Wallfacer on his new cleric epic!

And Soomie on her epic as the future guild porter extraordinaire!

Swisscheese achieved his first Primal ever. Everyone was excited for him!

An exciting first real cycle for us after being around for a short time. We got a surprise quake followed by an announced one this past Saturday and made short work of Zlandicar both times. Quite a good looking group I’d say.

We devoted resources and all pitched in to complete some last minute Sleeper’s Tomb keys so we have all of our essential pieces to assault the tomb and get our guildies some of those very valuable Primal weapons everyone talks about. We’ve already scored a Primal Warsword - grats to Banannie!

One of the cool things is that with our fresh start, everyone is in the running for some cool items for some pretty affordable prices. This may be a record this year for cheapest Primal.

We also went out and beat up ol’ Lady Vox, but alas no scale.  Next time!  Nothing better than seeing our bards get their epics. We hit up VP for some competitive dragons in there and finished the night with some classic content, Nagafen and ol’ Noble Djorno who had to face the return of Pyrobooze and Green server’s first Sceptre of Destruction.

We’ve also had Fubbon, our guild druid going around and helping some of our new toons get ‘buffed up and ready to go again’ (quicken voice). We’re looking forward to picking up more new members each week and assisting them where we can in the same way. The community is still always growing and we hope to share all the knowledge we have with interested and motivated people.

If you see this crazy ogre in the PoM forest, please steer clear - he’s a wild one!

Each week we’re improving our targets, gaining new players, familiar faces, momentum and looking forward to what the future has in store for us. Please consider joining us if you are looking for a place where friends hang, no question is a stupid one, and we can find ways to enjoy our free time in Norrath finding that magic from 1999 again.

-Dalsavis 60 Warlord of Marginal Threat - P99 Green Server

<Marginal Threat> has been a ton of fun, more than expected honestly.  We really are enjoying the humble start and challenges we are encountering.  Recruitment is open and we are excited to play with old friends, new friends and everything in between.

We got some of our first toons tagged…

Some very sus looks…

What some people would love to be considered ‘infighting..’ if people got what they wanted.

But we preserved through it all!  Had a great time in HoT getting a few great pieces like Plate Legs for Mozie and Leather for our guild druid.

Following that, we had an epic, but kind of easy low man Xygoz.

Here’s a few final parting shots for the records.  It will be fun to remember these times in the next few years as we all push forward and kill tons of dragons together.  I mean why else are we here?  Pretty successful weekend I’d say.

PS - Who cares what fear golems you win, as long as you win tracker fashion!

-Dalsavis 60 Warlord of Marginal Threat - P99 Green Server

After weeks and weeks of hard work behind the scenes, we’re excited to announce that the basics are in place and ready to go. We’ve been moving at full speed to turn this vision into a reality, and while there’s still plenty to build, we’ve laid the groundwork for something special.

To all our friends we haven’t had a chance to catch up with – you’re invited! We’ve been focused on making this more than just an idea, and now it’s time for you to join us. Marginal Threat is all about creating a fresh start, a new environment, and the chance to play at a new level.

We welcome anyone who’s ready to dive in and help shape what we’re building here.

Marginal Threat was founded to bring together players who actually want to play — people who log in ready to contribute, collaborate, and enjoy the game without drama, ego, or dead weight.

We value effort over entitlement. This guild is built on respect for each other’s time, a shared sense of purpose, and the belief that every member should have a role — and take pride in it. If you’re in the raid, be engaged. If you’re learning content, ask questions. If you’ve done it before, help teach — but don't coast. Competing with integrity will be paramount.

This is EverQuest — it should still feel like an adventure. There’s no mandatory raid attendance. No dues. No bullshit. Just show up when you can, be present, and be part of the push. We respect that people have real lives — school, work, raccoon hours — but when you’re online, you’re part of the team. At the end of the day, Marginal Threat is here to game with gamers who want to game.

We're building a space where contribution, curiosity, and camaraderie matter more than meters or medals. If that clicks with you, then welcome aboard. Let’s cause a little trouble. Together.
