The vision for the Remnants is a sanctuary for roleplayers with a high interest in Illidari and Demon Hunter roleplay. With our careful eye and application process, we hope to recruit players that can generate consistent and high quality roleplay. This involves having a great understanding of the WoW lore, good grammar, spelling and punctuation. As well as acknowledgement for the players behind the characters. We have a guild hub where free form RP can happen at any time and frequent guild events with a SIMPLE roll system.

Hello Wyrmrest Accord! <ROTI> are a Heavy-RP, Illidan loyalist guild representing one of the many splinter factions. Between dangerous combat events, Demon Hunter aspirant training and all the politics and controversy surrounding the re-integration of society, there’s never a dull moment during our guild roleplay. While we are not limited to Demon Hunters alone, there are certain classes we just won’t accept. Please follow up by reading our post on the server forums for more information! We are by no means an elitist guild but considering the controversial and complex nature of a Demon Hunter being one of the more powerful and deep classes in the World of Warcraft universe, we do expect you to have a solid foundation on your character and roleplaying in general. We won’t shy away from helping you if you’re willing to improve!

Let’s catch up

03/07/2016 - Post #0061:

Hello tumblr readers. I’ve decided to publicly discontinue my blog, but that doesn’t mean my journal entries here will end. Some day I might expose this page again to the public eye, and if you’re reading this you’re probably from the future or some die hard loyalist that I’m very grateful to have.

Up until now my life has gone through many changes. Many. I worked at walmart, I’ve been struggling to maintain my workout plan, I’ve tried to move, all sorts of craziness involving my personal life have been distracting me from my passion. However, you might have noticed I’ve been uploading throughout this time and I will continue to do so. I’ve finally gotten to my Darkest Dungeon stream archive episodic uploads, really proud of them and will continue that journey until the bitter end. I’m also in the works of my first machinima and that’s really the core of what I wanted to talk about here.

As I post this I’ve garnered 64 fucking awesome subscribers. It isn’t much, but it’s a lot to me compared to the big phat round 0 I started with. 64 different individuals subscribed to me for one reason or another and I can’t thank you guys enough. But I’ve discovered two things when being a small YouTuber.

1) Small YouTubers need to make smaller content. What I mean by this is, smaller videos. If someone doesn’t know you they probably won’t watch twenty minutes of you. So five-ten, even nine minutes preferably, I’m trying to stay out of the double digits. Once people warm up to you then they want to see more, and the more who watch your longer content support it to be found by others. Bigger YouTubers are more prone to have their longer content watched by new viewers rather than someone with barely anything going for them. It’s just in human nature.

2) Let’s Plays simply aren’t practical in getting yourself out there. You need something else, something more. Let’s Plays and podcasts are essentially filler content at this point until you have enough of a following to make it work, and until that point you need to be known for something else. So I’m taking up an old dream of mine and I’m making some machinimas. I’ve got the first few minutes of this fantastic one complete, I need to finish the intro and then the rest of the episode. I’m optimistic and I’m really enjoying making it.

So yeah, that’s all for now. Till next time *nodnod*

One Year Anniversary

21/04/2016 - Post #0060:

It’s been a little over one year now (the anniversary was the 14th) since I uploaded my first video to YouTube. I reached 50 subscribers (albeit one un-subbed a little while afterwards) and with that being said I hit my goal for the first year of uploading. In hindsight, I most certainly could have hit more of you lovely viewers and subscribers had I uploaded more than like 30. That’s like... 3-4 videos a month on average. Now that I have achieved my goal, I have better equipment, I’ve furthered my knowledge I’m going to be even more active from here on out. On that note though, I have some updates.

#1 I removed the tumblr link from my YouTube channel. If someone wants to find this personal blog they would have to go to my Twitch or Facebook pages. I figure those are the more personal corners anyhow.

#2 I’m working full-time at Walmart now as a Customer Service Specialist (Grocery Stocking) :) and I am loving it so far! I’ll be continuing this job until September.

#3 I will be attending college again for Computer Information Technology for two years with plans to transfer into Computer Science at the University and I will be moving into an apartment right beside it until the transfer. I’m interested in indie game development among my other internet hobbies.

Thanks for reading! If you haven’t yet, you can check my channel out here @ http://www.youtube.com/MMOCloud (I am a sarcastic prick)

Plateau

01/03/2016 - Post #0059:

This is going to be a long one, basically me documenting what I’ve been going through personally. It’s important to how I’ve grown as a person, and I did say this was a personal blog alongside my story from scratch. While 2015 was my year figuring out the world of YouTube & Social Media, I feel 2016 is my year of personal fitness, fortification and self realization. 

Nearing the end of last year, I had a terrible flu followed by a really bad cold with no recovery time, and since I have been battling heart break, depression, social anxiety, anticipation anxiety, and a severe genetic anxiety disorder that had me convulsing in and out of the hospital, doctors, the bathtub, on and off the couch. I’m on my final increase of dosage for my medication, and I’ve finished taking my other meds. I’m moving forward and mentally I am much, much more stable than I was in the past. Once I’m on this dosage for another couple months, I’m going to start weaning off.

To be honest, I thought anxiety was just an attention grab from self concious bitches. Having gone through it, severely, I now understand that even some of the smallest things seem impossible when having an attack. It’s crazy, unreal. And honestly when I started having them I thought I was going crazy. What you perceive as easy and difficult changes completely, it’s like living in a nightmare that hurts.

With the above challenges, I have lost a lot of hair in a mixture of stress from that and piling student loans debt. I dropped out of college as I literally couldn’t go, and I wasn’t interested in it anymore. I just received my new hair regrowth products in the mail today! On that note, I’ve redone my wardrobe completely taking out shirts that were too big or too small, clothes I generally wasn’t interested in and have been gradually replacing them with what I feel are more attractive and fitting. While I’ve always been OK in the acne department, I’ve always had a little bit here and there, and no products seemed to work until recently this new oil free face wash I got. My face feels so much more fresh and I can already see a rapid response for the better. Finally, my teeth have never been pearly white, but over the past few months I have been taking extra extra care with floss, alcohol free mouth wash, and brushing 2-3 times a day. My teeth are almost white again.

For a while now I’ve always straightened my medium length, red curly hair. Think Kalan Porter’s long hair. I was self concious about the curls but the first time going to therapy I couldn’t bother to do myself up, and, for the first time a woman complimented my hair. I was wearing it naturally curly and dishevelled. I decided to wear it like that to a party, and received compliments from my friends and some of the girls there, it was honestly heart warming. I have stopped straightening my hair for good, and I’m trying out different styles that work with my curls.

I’ve been going to therapy sessions (I started them about a month ago), I’ve had two so far and I have another one coming up in a few days. This is to further bolster my mental stability while putting me ahead of the game for when I start weaning off the drugs and deal with withdraws.

I’m on Day 17 of my new workout plan; my goal is to gain weight right now so there is a distinct lack of cardio. I’ve been eating a snack or small meal every 2 hours, taking vitamin supplements, protein shakes, with one big meal a day. Keep in mind I’m 6′2 and my goal is 180lbs. 

Here is what it looks like: 

SUNDAY: Chest and biceps MONDAY: Legs, triceps, and abs (jump rope) TUESDAY: Shoulders and back WEDNESDAY: Chest, biceps, and abs THURSDAY: Rest FRIDAY Day: Shoulders, Back, Legs, triceps, and abs (jump rope) SATURDAY Day: Rest

(About a month prior I was 140lbs from a previous 165lbs due to the physical and mental illnesses I had been going through)

Day 1 - Workout Complete, Got dumbbells & jump rope Day 2 - Workout Complete, Started watching Mike Chang & Eating every 2-3 hours Day 3 - Rested, Got weight scale--145lbs!! Day 4 - Workout Complete Day 5 - Rested Day 6 - Workout Complete Day 7 - Rested Day 8 - Workout Complete (Sunday) Day 9 - Workout Complete--148lbs Day 10 - Workout Complete Day 11 - Workout Complete Day 12 - Rested Day 13 - Workout Complete (fucked up my leg so skipped legs) Day 14 - Rested Day 15 - Workout Complete (Sunday) Day 16 - SKIPPED (First time I bitched out, regretting it) Day 17 - Workout Complete, 150lbs!!!!!

So tl;dr

*Last medication dosage increase before I start weaning off

*Wardrobe change

*Going to therapy

*New hair regrowth products & working facewash

*Teeth are almost white again

*Stopped straightening my curly hair

*On Day 17 of my weight gain workout plan

I’m not trying to say my problems are worse than anyone else's. I know for a fact people have had it harder than me, and some of what I’ve gone through has been self induced and no one’s fault but my own. However, this is for my own personal documentation and for those other future new YouTubers who want to see what I went through during my journey. I want to show to myself and others that it is possible to get through your difficulties and to make changes. I thought I was going to marry my ex, I didn’t know anxiety was a real thing, I thought I was going to finish college and go to university. Things change, people change, life changes. I changed. You just grow up and start realizing what you find important. In my case it’s my goals, my appearance and fitness, and one day finding someone that is right for me. Life is tough and while you might not think taking small steps like cleaning your house, your car, working out even if you can’t afford a gym membership will actually help you, it does. I’m sure if I just did one small thing to help myself it wouldn’t feel like much changed. But I’ve been taking multiple steps as I’ve listed to further myself as a person and I feel much more like an adult, much more like the person I always dreamed about being. I guess there’s my two cents on life advice. Thank you for reading, if you did you are one brave soul.

Back at Recording

Streaming is fun and all, but my passion really lies in making and uploading YouTube videos. I just can’t seem to figure out a schedule that works with my time frame as so much is changing in my life currently. I’m just going to keep going and once I feel I’ve settled enough then maybe we’ll get back to a schedule, but I want to keep content coming regularly. I’ve decided whether I get to 100 Subscribers on YouTube or 100 Followers on Twitch first, I will do my next Drink Night Stream. This time the VOD will be recorded ;)

Part 1 of my Stardew Valley let’s play is processing on my channel (it’s great), I’m also working on Darkest Dungeon (still) and Final Fantasy 1 HD.

Don’t really know

18/02/2016 - Post #0057:

I have a lot on my plate right now. A lot of changes are happening in my life (for the better) and I’m struggling to find the time I need to devote to my passion as MMOCloud. I don’t know how I’m going to manage my time & resources, but what I do know is I’m not going to quit.

I’m working on the Darkest Dungeon vods for YouTube, I’ve got an overlay prepared for a game I’m planning on streaming and I’m trying to get ahold of people for co-op YouTube series such as HOTS Auto-Select and more off-the-rails stuff. We’ll see how it goes.

Streaming Febuary Update

11/02/2016 - Post #0056:

Hey! So indeed, as I mentioned in my last update I was sick. Couldn’t speak, so, couldn’t stream. Starting to realize how important my voice is to me. Anyhow, I’ll be starting my stream of “This War of Mine” in an hour. I’ll be sticking to my stream schedule like glue. www.twitch.tv/mmocloud

*I updated my Stream Schedule so I’m streaming earlier and it’s in my exact timezone this time, which is MST.

*New YouTube channel art & avatar! www.youtube.com/mmocloud

*Currently editing my intense Darkest Dungeon #1 stream into YouTube VODS. Those should be coming out next week. For those of you who attended the stream, I may continue the run this weekend, we’ll see.

Streaming Febuary~

02/03/2016 - Post #0055:

Hello again. I’ve had a lot going on in the month of January which prevented me from streaming, whether it was parties, projects, responsibility. But I have a pretty clear Febuary infront of me which I’m going to sit down and try to meet every single stream day on my schedule. The only thorn in my side is I’m sick right now, so I’m hoping I’ll be better enough to speak tomorrow... nevertheless, you can view my schedule here: http://www.twitch.tv/MMOCloud

I will be streaming Darkest Dungeon & This War of Mine for the next while until I get decently far enough to be content, or wipe so miserably I ragequit for a while. I plan to stream Stardew Valley on release day and more on that in March, as well as Black Desert Online if my PC can handle that (I’m sure it can.) So we’ll see what happens. Thanks again for stopping by!

First Official Stream Conclusion

01/09/2016 - Post #0054:

Hey everyone! I just wanted to document my feelings on my first stream ever, the infamous Super Mario World Drink Night. We had a solid 20 viewers going on for a couple hours, I was the #1 Streamer for Super Mario World, an active chat throughout the entirety of the night (until we got to WoW, at which point everyone was too drunk to continue) I'm really happy with the turnout and getting to 12 followers and 40 subscribers on YouTube. It was a blast, everyone enjoyed it. I've updated my Twitch page with more information including a schedule, rules etc. Looking forward to many more streams to come! I sadly didn't have time to figure out how to export the VOD from the stream, but I got that figured out now for the following. The Drink Counter will be even more polished for the next celebratory Drink Night, not sure when that will be but I'm thinking when I hit 100 YouTube Subscribers of 100 Twitch Followers.
