Rule Revisions!

There is a new system for dealing with inactive characters.  It is detailed under the Rules and Regulation Post, under "AWOL."  Basically, Inactive Characters will lose rep at an increasing scale, thereby losing Rank and Privileges, the longer they are inactive.  When they have no Rep left, they will have another month to get back into the game before being let go.


Also, the Rules for Earning Rep in Dungeons have been modified.  It is now possible to earn Rep in a guild dungeon run regardless of how many Guild members are actually in the group.  There is also a new Bonus Rep system to encourage Tanking, Healing, and Full Clears.  Raid Rep rules have also been modified similarly.  


Go forth, and Glory to the Horde!

In This Corner; Corborus!!

This gargantuan Gyreworm makes short work of the devious Millhouse Manastorm before setting its sights on the other intruders of the Stonecore: YOU!

The Heroic fight is different for one main reason; the Crystal Shards he summons periodically throughout the fight.  Not only must targets of the Crystal Barrage move away from this damaging shower, but what emerges from them is even more deadly.  The shards will hatch from them in a few seconds, and then move toward a random player.  

They are floating Grenades!  They will kill anyone they touch, and explode if destroyed by anyone other than their target, killing them as well.

For this level of the game, AoE Ranged dps is of utmost importance.  The strategy is rather simple;

Notes on Inviting New Members.

Hail, comrades!

So now that Blizzard's new Looking For Guild interface is in full effect, our ranks of active warriors has grown considerably!  All ranks, from Scout up, will be continued to be empowered to actively recruit, and are encouraged to do so.  And while this has been quite successful, there have been a few questions, which I'll address with the following FAQ:

1. "Can I invite a friend/someone I just met/anyone?"  The answer to all these is; Yes.  As your High Chieftain, I alone retain the power to decide who can invite and who cannot.  As I've empowered the entire guild to recruit new active members, then the answer is splendidly clear.
2. "What class are we supposed to be looking for?" 

The Dragonmaw Clan: Returning Ally or Traitorous Menace?

The Twilight Highlands.  A Fabled peninsula beyond the haunted gates of Grim Batol.  Hidden for years, until the world shattering Cataclysm ripped a hole into its mountainous borders.  Now we find two races on the brink of extinction.  A lost clan of Wildhammer dwarves, furious and worthy adversaries of legend, and vile, ash-skinned orcs of the despicable Dragonmaw Clan.  


Many of you, comrades, may see right away the ire with which I regard these treasonous dogs.Indeed, many of you have noticed my marked refusal to serve them beyond what is required to battle the Twilight Hammer.  Their calls for aid against the Wildhammers, for example, go unheeded.  It is not that these untamed dwarves are not worth fighting, it's that battling against them while sitting in the shadow of Deathwing's forces simply does not serve the Horde.  It is for foolish pride and hatred that our wayward cousins, so recently invited back to the fold, call for Wildhammer blood.  It is stupidity, and cowardice, nothing more.  And as alarming as those traits are for supposed allies of the Horde, it is in fact rather typical for Dragonmaw orcs.  For those of you unaware of our history, or of theirs, allow me to explain.

In this Corner; Corla, Herald of Twilight!!

Corla, the Herald of Twilight is the 2nd boss of Blackrock Caverns, a crazed but powerful zealot of the Twilight Hammer Cult bent on imbuing her minions with the energies of captured dragons!  While she herself is not too complicated a target to kill, the fact is you will encounter her in the middle of her imbuing ritual, and the results are potentially Deadly!
