It's WoW-tastic!

So, my guild in World of Warcraft (WoW) has been raiding steady for the past 2 years now. I've been a part of it since before we formed it up, and I've been one of the primary officers (Consuls) since a couple months after we made the guild. We started in the Burning Crusade Expansion, when we could barely clear Karazhan and couldn't kill Gruul. Since then, we've taken the guild through all of the T4 content, blew away T5 content (Serpent Shrine Caverns and Tempest Keep), and demolished T6 content (Mt. Hyjal and Black Temple), all BEFORE the 3.0 raid difficulty nerf. Our first kill of Illidan was something special, because we did it when it was still hard!

Since then, the Wrath of the Lich King has come out, and we've been tearing through that raid content with the same zeal. Naxxramas was a flat out Joke. We literally started clearing the place the second week we went in on 25 man. The dragons in Northrend weren't that much more difficult, although it did take a little practice to get Malygos down. Ulduar finally shipped earlier this year and we finally got to see some challenging content again! We had most of the instance on Farm in a couple months, but the last boss has been eluding us. The latest content patch opened up the next tier of Raid dungeon, the Coliseum, and still we hadn't killed Yogg-Saron, in Ulduar25. Well, last night we finally fixed that problem, with the Guild First kill of Yogg on 25 man mode!

The new raid so far is a joke, but we haven't tried it yet on Heroic mode (Heroic wont be available for 2 more weeks). We one shotted the new boss last week (the horde champions), and we 2 shotted the twins this week. Next week we'll get Anub'erak down in all likelyhood and we can start working on the heroic mode of the raid, and get some of that challenge back.

Anyway, I just had to get it out there that we finally got Yogg down in Ulduar :) I'll stop geeking out and get back to work now...
