Heroic Lich King

♦ Praetorian · 06/24/10, 12:57 AM

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.)

In case anyone ever wondered what EJ vent might be like, let me share my personal highlight from during our progress:

Gurgthock: relwin said he'd be home in 7 minutes no idea how he got that number
Tejax: is there some sporting event on that ends in
Ariesz: HOCKEY
Tejax: 7 minutes?
Ariesz: oh... no
Scorned: it's the average time it takes to asphyxiate a hooker
Gurgthock: uh
Cayu: amateur

In a manner of speaking...yes. Though, he had a pet emergency he had to attend to.

Grats.

You guys must've spent more than 10 hours total listening to his RP speech in the beginning of the fight?

That would entail more than 600 wipes, so no. More like 3.5 hours. And on that note, I'm going to go cry now.

Congratulations! Seems like that tabard paid off, eh?

Without Gonk this is not a real kill!

Think about all the glorious 10man wipes yet to come due to dispel resists while you're at it.

Grats all on 25, by the way, and Kadrok on his mount.

Congrats. Lovin' the murlocs.

I cringe/shudder anytime someone says "So be it" to me now in daily conversation.

To be fair I think a lot of us are alt-tabbed the first 90% of the speech. I know I usually am
