Saying our goodbyes is never easy, and after nearly six years as a 25-man raiding Guild - it’s even harder.

We recently announced the disbanding of our 25-man raiding team, it's the toughest decision we've made, but it seemed inevitable after 10-man raiding was brought into line with 25-man status.

There was no drama, we simply found it too challenging to maintain a full 25-man raid team. What will happen of the guild is really unknown, perhaps it will go back to it's roots.


Beginnings...
From the very early days (formed in September, 2006) our guild has always prided itself on the community spirit over so-called ‘hardcore’ raiding. Whilst this all came to a head around March 2008, with the near collapse of the guild, it was a the merger with Stormreavers later that month which really set in stone the successes we were later to see.

Memories...
We have plenty of movies which record our successes, although what you won’t see is all the silliness and banter in the background - the stuff that made us who we are.

1) Watching the Mirmiron video brings back memories of the rare boss spawn after the fight; which often wiped us. There were no tactics to handle the Hookgab boss and all his bombs adds, I fear Kaas and Sini took the brunt of the chaos and destruction of those encounters.

2) Reading the Algalon (10-man heroic) fight again, someone’s crazy idea late one night, was defeated with only seconds to spare before the Server Reset boss spawned.

3) The high, and some would say foolish, optimism that Skyhoof would survive more than a few moments:

[Raid][Aranellis]: My Power Word: Fortitude on Skyhoof will expire in 30m.
[Raid][Ghoofy]: you're being o

Got this down, just in time for Terrace opening!

Yet another good instance (in my opinion), so nice work from Blizzard on this one. It is good to see that they took the concept of "DPS legs, kite boss" and made a non-retarded (HI RHYOLITH) encounter of it this time.
Even though this instance was full of bugs, there were actually few "worth noting" bugs, let`s hope it stays true for heroic.













PS: Imperial Vizier Zorlok loves the left platform so much, he even decided to get stuck there on one of our pulls

We`ve finally done it! Tonight went way faster than our usual pace and we managed to get 2 golds in about 4 hours - last 2 we needed for the achievement. Yet again, we kept our tradition: our gold in Shadopan Monastery was with 706 milliseconds to spare!

Overall, these runs were absolutely amazing. Props to Blizz because the tuning felt very good as well. That cooldown reset better come fast though!

Here`s our nice sets



And the mounts



Looking forward to compete with the rest of the realm on the leaderboards!
