BT Experiences

Posted 10-31-2008 at 02:31 AM by Shorty
Updated 10-31-2008 at 03:19 AM by Shorty
Now I know BT has been nerfed and we've got lots of new toys to play with, but last night before our BT run I was incredibly nervously excited (as those in the shoutbox would have experienced) it has been months since I was last in BT and having only ever seen Naj and Supremus my brain was spinning with strategies, abilities and movies of Akama, Bloodboil and Gorefiend - I stopped at this point as RoS abilities just confused me!

So we kick off at the appointed time, with me as second...

Settling in

Posted 10-24-2008 at 01:31 AM by Shorty
It is now a week since we uprooted and moved servers and guilds and apart from instance server hiccups; random dc'es and login queues it's been a good week and I am starting to settle down. It's still early days on the server and the guild names are still a mystery to me but our new guild is starting to feel a bit more like home.

Between server problems I did manage to run Kara with them on Wednesday night. 9 people, almost all alts cleared it easily. I did discover that shockwave's...

Raggy dead, servers dieing and retnoobs

Posted 10-20-2008 at 01:42 AM by Shorty
So after a few days of baby instances, headless-horseman slaughtering and achievements our new guild headed into MC on Sunday night. Well, to be more precise we waited for about 20minutes until the instance servers were working and all dashed in. With 30 of us, we weren't expecting it to be tough, but even if at first glance we didn't learn much from it, it was still fun. The only challenges we had was when we got overly enthusiastic and pulled three hound packs at once, lag meant we couldnt tell...

First day on a new realm

Posted 10-17-2008 at 01:28 AM by Shorty
My transfer off-wildhammer went smoothly yesterday morning - although for anyone considering trnasferring servers the same day as a major patch - don't even try! Shorty landed in an alternate version of IF with all his gear, semi-functioning addons, new spec and skills.

It was really weird to "beam" into IF to see a sea of familiar faces and gear but unfamiliar names and guilds. There was the normal mix of class and races, more war bears and warglaives than I'm used to,...

Most organised guild breakup ever

Posted 10-14-2008 at 01:59 AM by Shorty
So, tonight I aim to complete what must be one of the most organised guild break ups ever. The guild I was a member of when I reached 60 pre-TBC broke up one night when I wasnt online and although I hadn't been in it long, I remember the confusion when I logged in wearing a grey blank tabard and all alone, so I hope that what I've done over the last week and a bit will prevent any guildies having a similar experience.

Over the last week and a bit I've spoken, via RL email, ingame...
