Good job in Ulduar last night guys! Freya and Hodir down. I've extended the raid lockout, so next week we'll tackle from Mimiron onwards.

Hope you can make it.

Hey guys. Two things:

First, I'm heading off on holiday this Tuesday (15 September) and won't be back until the start of October. I'll probably pop on to WoW from time to time, but won't be putting any raids up for this time. I hope that being able to pug Naxx will satisfy your need for emblems and raiding for two weeks. If not, let me know before I go.

Second, Ulduar 10 has been cleared by a group only in blue gear. Skill, concentration and good teamwork over gear or what?

Hi all.

A lot of people seem not to understand or realise what's expected in raids. I've put up a new "raiding essentials" document which summarises what's required. I've not spelled everything out - this is a general guide to what we expect.

We also expect more in the more difficult raids: so don't think what is just about acceptable in Naxx 10 is going to work in Ulduar. Most of us put a lot of effort into making our raids work, which in turn makes them more fun. I hope you'll do the same.

Hi everyone.
The reason why I feel its necessary to put this post up is because I see a lot of people being eager to join the guild, agree to its rules and when we tell them off for breaking them, they leave.
And-yes-I am speaking about this big matter the Pugging of raids.
You guys, don't seem to really understand that we are a small guild, and we dont have enough active people to replace the ones that eventually get saved so we need the people not to join PuGs for instances that the guild raids, so they can go with us.
What is so difficult to understand there? You join a guild to help it progress as well as you getting geared up but you dont join it just to get yourself geared and doesnt matter what happens next.
Additionally I don't find it very nice if our members spam the /2 for people to join PuGs they are putting together. And I am asking you : How does this make us look like a serious progressing guild if we have members that act like noobs for real and make us look as well like some?
We are not a big or a fast progressing guild. But we are a bunch of nice people, we stick to each other and support each other and if the majority would have understood that, we would have been doing 25man raids on a regular basis already.
And in the unlikely case that you do want to join a PuG, why is it so difficult to just let one of the officers know?
I don't think those things mentioned above, are much to ask aren't they?
So, can we start all please to work together?
Would really appreciate that.
