Back to the Basics

Posted 01-10-2009 at 11:22 AM by Caulle (Afternoon Yak)

I haven't blogged in quite some time, over a month now, so I think I'm about due.

I've been having a lot of fun in LK so far, despite some of the standard stresses that accompany leading a raid. Leading the raid is, well, it's still the same old Chaos. I missed it like hell, and we're back to doing what we do best: raiding.

We didn't push people to go crazy and cap out at 80 within the first week. The leveling grind tends to kill some people but I don't really have...

Okay, so, current update with my Warcraft guild. Long story short I have GM back, everyone quit, and we're taking a nice break until Wrath.

So how it all amazingly went down...

The raid has continued to take one step forward and 10 steps back each week. At least 1-2 people were quitting weekly for various reasons. They had become a revolving door raid instead of a family. Perhaps I shouldn't hold onto nostalgia, but at the same time that's what our edge was, and...

Game Over

Posted 06-18-2008 at 01:03 PM by Caulle (Afternoon Yak)

I've almost completely phased myself out of the raid. I'm at the point right now where I really don't care to go back, and even if they asked me to log on and help I'd be much more likely to just come up with some excuse as to why I can't. The raid has changed drastically in the past 2 months. It's not even a shadow of it's former self. They might as well just rename the guild to something else because it is not <Chaos>.

It's been about a week since the last entry, so time for a new one.

News in the World of Warcraft...
Despite the fact I told the raid I'm quitting, things went over well enough with that announcement. Plus, they know I'm not just jumping ship immediately. They've got a couple of weeks to shore up a replacement, and I already told them to just bug me on AIM if they're ever short a tank. At least they'll have a geared and pro tank available in a pinch.

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Quit the Raid.

Yesterday. I was linked an article while at work yesterday about a guild named Renegade Sodiers. Here is a guild that has been highly successful and one of the few guilds to clear the Eredar Twins (WoWJutsu has a reported 353 guilds in the world so far who can do this). The guild broke up this week. With my recent return to raiding after a month long absence due to work and after reading the article, it really got me thinking about...
