As we transitioned to Secret World Legends, to have BrokenPieces step up to fill some rather large shoes leading our PvE division was a massive relief. BrokenPieces successfully led many raids and PvE activities within Nine Swords while we were in TSW, and the willingness for him to continue that here for us has been appreciated.
Today, BrokenPieces has stepped down as leader of our Nine Swords PvE division. I would like you to all join me in thanking him for all his efforts throughout TSW and SWL - and for sharing so much of his time and energy in scheduling lots of activities for us to sign up to!

The next issue of our Nine Swords Newsletter, The Sword's Edge, will be released on the 9th of January - and unless we are met with any mitigating circumstances, shall be released on each 9th of the month this year. A newsletter is only any good if it has vibrant content that engages our cabal members, and people in the community that sit down to read it- therefore we are looking to strengthen our newsletter team.
If you can see yourself having enough time and energy to contribute to our cabal newsletter, then contact Katelin. We are very open to the types of content that could be included in the newsletter, so just speak up and share your ideas!
Deadline for submissions for this months newsletter is the 7th January 2018.
Swords - If you are working towards, or would like to work towards your lair boss kill achievements to get your hands on your lair raider jacket then you need to head over to this thread in our forums. There is a link in the thread so that you can add your needed lairs to the listing, then our lair run organisers can see who needs what!
For more information about lairs and what you need to do to start running the content - check out our Introduction to Lairs!
Howdy!
It's a new year (welcome to 2018!) and I would like to ask everyone to develop their Roster profile, just a bit. We want to be friendly, and for people to get to know everyone. The better we know each other, or our characters anyway, the better we’ll enjoy gaming as a cabal. Of key importance is that we want members to be able you use the Roster to find people in their own time zone, and especially to help connect roles.
To this end, we are running a promotion this month, and if you will update your profile (Roster/My Profile/Profiles tab) so that you have at least a character pic, your time zone, and what role(s) you play, once you’ve done at least that much, meet me in-game for a 6-pack of Free Beer! That is for EVERYBODY during the promotion period (If your character doesn’t drink, I’ll respect that – we can do diet Bing cola or something). It’s not bribery, it’s appreciation! ;)
Additionally, at the end of the month we will randomly select 3 profiles with images. These 3 RNG winners will get (a prize to be determined)
There’s a lot more you can do with your profile too. I’ve developed mine out pretty fully to show several examples of what you might want to include (https://www.nine-swords.com/cb-profile/438-gebbeth). Note that the profile is in two sections, one for the player and the second one for the character. Put anything you want here. This is your chance to talk about yourself and your in-game preferences and progress, and where you can share your character backstory – or current story.
When you’re on your profile pages, just use the Edit menu button at the top. Katelin has developed a full set of instructions in the Directives to help with the UI (Your 9S Website Profile).
The last year has sure been an eventful and exciting time. Between real life throwing lots of unexpected changes and interesting developments at us to the game also going through a massive change, the main constant appears to have been change. While that comes both in good and bad, the main way we can grow is by adapting to those changes and to make something positive out of them. The game turning into Legends has also done a lot to change Nine Swords in some ways, but we have similarly managed to very much stay true to what we stand for. Both growth and consolidation were important, and now we can start this year with the usual routines. If you haven't done so yet, I encourage everyone to come visit our 9S Resolutions thread and give us all an idea how you would like to move forward.
Most importantly however, keep in mind that we're here to have fun, and with that I wish you all a happy new year 2018, and hopefully many more years to come!
