Heroic Lich King
Jun 24th, 2010, 12:57 AM - by Praetorian
Months and months behind, but still fundamentally a very satisfying kill. Congratulations are owed to my guildmates for their perseverance and patience with various strat adjustments and adaptations to different comps, well after most of us never wanted to hear the words "So be it." again.

Special thanks to the people who spent a ton of time wiping to him, but weren't in the group for the final kill: Gonktarget, Shabadu, Kurapica, Suno, and Wodin.



Just in time for Ruby Sanctum!

(PS: Not really actively recruiting at this point, though exceptional applicants are always welcome and will be given due consideration.)

Recruitment CLOSED
Nov 4th, 2009, 12:47 PM - by Praetorian
Just as an update, we are no longer actively recruiting any particular class. Exceptional applicants (i.e. you're pretty sure you'd be as good as, or better than, our best members) are welcome to submit apps which will be considered, but right now we have a solid roster and no need to encourage overcrowding.

(PS: I'm lazy and also don't really consider it a huge deal, hence no formal update, but we did get Tribute to Insanity recently.)

This is one of those that probably should've come a little while ago, but quite satisfying nonetheless. The fight is drastically more demanding than anything else in the zone, and definitely a worthy hardmode endboss. Looking forward to refining our clear and, to be honest, having a proper stretch of leisurely farming as we prepare for Icecrown.

Also I just want to say that our MVP for the kill was a warlock.

Edit: One more little update....

New Post Functionality Changes
Sep 14th, 2009, 3:05 AM - by Boethius
The forums have been updated to handle new unread posts thusly:
  • Clicking on the envelope icon in the leftmost column will take you to either the first unread post (in the case of new unread posts in a thread) or the first post of the thread (in the case of no new unread posts)
  • You can discern if there are new unread posts in any thread by either an opened envelope that is "ready for reading" or a bold thread title
  • Thread titles will now only link to the first post in a thread
In short, the envelope has now become a more descriptive and larger TINY BLUE SQUARE.

These changes are now finalized. Sorry for the interim confusion.

Trial of the Grand Crusader

Fun stuff so far, though a bit of a roller-coaster in terms of difficulty. Ikaruga experience pays off:

Time's Winding Down
Aug 7th, 2009, 1:12 PM - by Boethius


Females, you have a little less than 2 more hours to get your orders in for Blizzcon t-shirts. We're ordering your shirts in from out-of-town and need to leave some room for a bulk shipment before printing early next week.

Males, you all will have until late Sunday/Monday EDT to get orders placed thanks to your shirts being a local pickup.

Here's a link to the store in case you need it.


Pre-orders have now ended and we're in the process of getting the shirts printed and shipped.

Thanks everyone for your support!

Hello...? ...is this thing on?
Jul 22nd, 2009, 1:29 AM - by Praetorian
It's been a while since I've posted here, to say the least, since I guess I never saw the point of "hey guys, we killed something that thousands of guilds have killed, except we killed it in a special way that mere dozens of guilds have accomplished" updates. Plus I'm lazy. But I guess this one deserves an update.



We've been quietly trucking along through Ulduar, and generally having a blast doing so. This kill really should have come a lot sooner, but no matter. Great work all around by everyone, both on Algalon in particular, and on learning and mastering the other hardmodes in the zone over the course of this content cycle. Looking forward to Yogg-0, Coliseum, and a break from progression!

PS: We are recruiting a mage and a holy priest in particular, as well as having potential interest in all exceptional applicants. A formal application update coming soon (c.f. reference to laziness above).
