No time on my hands

Posted 04-30-2008 at 07:39 AM by Gehn
Wow. It has been a while. I have been away from the game for almost a month now as my grades have declined and I am finalizing my wedding (or is it her wedding?) plans. May 24th cannot come fast enough.

Back to the game...I have been invited to transfer to a RP server from my PVP server to join some friends from my old guild on EQ (Povar-Tarew Alliance). This is a great chance for me to actually see some content past Kara w/o having to lead.

The only problem is...

Prince Down! Self-examination commenced

Posted 03-17-2008 at 10:08 AM by Gehn
Last night was a guild first (+ 3 pugs).

Prince was killed by the Killer Cows from Space and I breathed a sigh of relief.

Two months ago, I posted a "State of the Guild" address in response to a few things that had happened in guild. My goal at that time was to kill Prince before the expansion. At the time, I deemed that a lofty goal. We had our #1 healer and off-tank going on haiatus until mid-April. Our DPS warrior had left the guild because we didnt...

Put the pet in the stable...

This is what I told one of our hunters during our Kara raid.

Backstory...

*dreamy music*

A close friend of mine keyed his hunter for Kara in January. He pretty much solo'd or PVP'd his way to 70, so grouping with him is dicey at best. My friends and I have been working w/ him on regular instances by helping him gain knowledge of the abilities that will be used in groups. At the beginning of February, he joined us in Kara. His dps will be invaluable,...

How do you tell if your guildies are bored?

Posted 03-10-2008 at 02:06 PM by Gehn
A question to you all...

If they will not let you know, it can be really rough to see. I can tell on a few of our members only since I know them in real life or have played other games (EQ) with them.

I dabble a lot with alts. I like to understand what other classes are like as well as see if any are better than what I am playing right now. I have always come back to the warrior in WoW.

My 2nd in command (and best man in my wedding) is completely different....

Slow times

Posted 02-25-2008 at 12:36 PM by Gehn
As the guild leader of a casual group of friends, I have come to accept the slow times that happen. Everyone deals with real life at some point, and the rest of the guild slows as a consequence. Over the last few months, our 9 regular raiders have dwindled to 6-7 due to jobs/schooling/family.

Our high-water mark was Jan 14. Shade of Aran was downed as was the Chess event. Things looked real good for a real life group of friends. Unfortunately, it could not last as our primary...
