Firstly, a recap, after weeks of struggling to fill raid slots (and please don't say recruit - we have 2 ally guilds in sunwell and probably only 3 more in MH/BT or end of T5), we called it. A couple of our officers have joined a different raid guild on their mains, as have some of our raiders. Almost all who have left have left alts in the guild and the rest of us are having a month or two of "quiet time" before WotLK.

So, what's led me to even contemplate a blog on one...

Shorty

I'll preface this by saying that Shorty is a tank and always will be, but part of who I am is giving 110% of myself to anything, this is simultaneously my greatest strength and greatest weakness. But in terms of Shorty this means going out of my way to collect a good dps gear set. On Sunday night I ran Kara for the first time in a couple of months - it was a smooth, run with the odd hiccup due to a mage pulling Maiden before we were ready and the odd other dead squishy. Due to an OT who needed to...

Shorty

Firstly, a big thanks to Klimpy, Squeeg and Klorry for their words of advice and encouragement in the shoutbox. Apologies for the over-emotional last blog -- but I'm a girl I'm allowed to be overemotional

So, after going public on our forums and asking everyone to give us until last night. The remaining officers (except one) met and chatted. Our GM and two others (both with the time and enthusiasm for 25mans) expressed a wish to pursue that with one of their characters. They hope...

"of the world as we know it and I feel fine"

Some of you may know that the guild of which I am an officer has been going through a rough summer: a combination of losing two raid leaders to RL problems; an inactive GM; summer lull; a low high-raiding server has all contributed to it, but on...

The good

So on Friday we went into TK, after about a week a bit off raiding. I was in a good mood, and despite losing our priest CL to a broken internet we managed to get 25 people of the right roles online. Al'ar trash went well, Al'ar himself was buggy, with lag spikes causing some problems, after a P1 wipe we downed him the next time. It got completely chaotic though with the last tank dieing at 5% or so and only about 8 people standing by the time he died.

Onwards...
