Coming Soon to Ironforge...

 

[Edit] All Coin Prizes have been doubled!  Some prizes were increased even more!  See the rewards Below!

That's Right!  For the first time ever, the brave and reckless members of the Shades will don the PvP flag and mount their Epic rides for a no holds barred race for survival!!  

We Weren't the Only Ones...

I regret to inform you that no more than 3 days ago, our Guild Vault was robbed.  An inactive but high ranking character by the name of Ogdin, along with his various alts, took dozens high level, high priced items, including a rainbow of Epic Uncut Gems, and promptly left the guild.  The logs list one of the perpetrators as "Unknown," which suggests that the characters were either deleted or transferred to another realm.  This also suggests that this was not a deliberate attack by the player known as Ogdin, but that this player's account was hacked.  This is classic Gold Farmer m/o.

Since then, all inactive profiles have been restricted from the Guild Vault, and Ogdin placed on the Blacklist.  The Hokage has already petitioned the GM's with a full report.  All actions that happen in game are logged, and there is no doubt we will have all stolen items of value returned in time.  The theft itself, while troublesome and frustrating, is not nearly as disturbing as the very likely fact that one of our own was Hacked!

The Fall of Naxxramas!

 The Dread Citadel looms over the Wastes of Dragonblight, in all its former glory...

Today, the Shades of the Rising Sun have done what mere months ago was unthinkable!  Today, an Assault Ended in Victory!!  Naxxramas, the Dread Citadel, symbol of the Lich King's Far Reaching Corruption and Might, was left in Utter Ruin by the Blades and Magic of our Clan!

Champions of the Joust!

In an Epic Showcase of skill and determination, the Guild Joust successfully ended with not just one, but Two Champions!

Defending for the second time since the conception of the Guild Joust, Champion Zorixion retained his title!  No easy task, as he faced the Hokage, Ogami in the Semi's and the mighty Tallos in the Finals.  Ogami gave Zorixion trouble in the first of 3 rounds, but Zorixion triumphed, moving on to face Tallos fresh off a 3 round win of his own!  Zorixion then proceeded to best Tallos 3 rounds in a row, with Tallos fighting hard each round, resulting in many close calls!  Indeed, Zorixion truly earned his place as Champion!

Gold, Epic Mounts, and You!

Hail, comrades!  

With so many of you attaining level 80 recently, there seems to be much anticipation and anxiety about obtaining your Artisan Riding Training and your Epic Flying Mount!  Of course, the most prohibitive thing about getting either of these is the price, which is about 5,000g for the training and another 100g for the mount itself.  This amount of gold, I know, just seems so far out of reach.  But I am here to assure you, it is not!

Lore of Warcraft: The Worgen of Ashenvale

In the Northern part of Central Ashenvale, West of the road leading to Felwood, one can find the aptly named Howling Vale.  Dreadful cries of dark creatures give the place its name.  It is there, among the forgotten ruins of a once great Elven outpost, that packs of savage Worgen make their den!

How can this be?  All members of the Horde who are familiar with the bastion of Shadowfang Keep, and the infected camps of the Grizzly Hills, know that it was the Archmage Arugal, and Ur before him, who were responsible for the Worgen's presence in this world.  There is no record of either of these wizards of the Kirin Tor ever making their way to the untamed wilderness of Kalimdor.  And yet, here the Worgen reside, nonetheless...

A Note on Account Sharing.

While Account Sharing is prohibited in the Terms of Service contract players all agree to when creating their accounts, it's also understood that in the case of families, there will be multiple siblings with characters on a single account.  Whatever the case may be, please understand that you and you alone are responsible for the security of your account and your character.  If you allow friends or family members to play your character, you will be held responsible for any violations they wittingly or unwittingly commit. We have had more than one incident where this became an issue, and in one case, resulted in the expulsion of a guild member.  


Realize that the power to avoid such a horrible situation rests completely in your hands!
