Legend Has It...

Back when I played the retail version of World of Warcraft there was a guild on my server called the <Booty Bay Yacht Club> . It's always stuck with me as one of the more clever guild names that I've seen over the years. I like how they integrated something from the virtual world into their guild na...

Re: PvP and XP Boost Suggestions

1) I don't PvP, so no opinion to offer. 2) Now I have an opinion to offer... I've observed a consistent failing of many private WoW servers of the last 2-3 years is a lack of player investment. You look at servers that offered instant 60s or x2, x5, x10 XP rates and there tends to be a lack of playe...

Re: Veteran vs Newbie Raid Loot Issue

Ok, maybe one more thing, wouldnt it be nice to make it easier to go veteran based on some other contribution but the atendance? This seems like a reasonable request. Could you provide some examples?

Veteran vs Newbie Raid Loot Issue

I've been getting a lot of complaints about the current loot system benefiting new raiders over veteran raiders. This makes sense since new raiders have a lot more gear slots that need upgrading and therefore get to roll more often compared to veteran raiders who need relatively fewer upgrades and t...

Please note, if you're signing-up for raids that means you're showing up for raids. Signing-up for raids you do not attend will count against you when determining raiding slots in the future.

An update isn't easy to do. We have materials spread around several crafters at this point. I'd take a look at the Crafted Raid Gear forum post and look at who can craft the TB rep items you want and contact them. If they don't have the mats needed we will find them.

Re: New folk from 3.3.5 comes to say hi!

If your goal is to raid we have a shortage of priests, dwarf priests to be specific. I think we're a bit short on shaman as well. All other classes seem pretty well balanced out at the moment.

I'm now officially working from home until April 30th, so I'm pretty sure I'll be there!

Worst-case scenario if we don't have enough we'll shoot for an UBRS run to get more players attuned to Blackwing Lair for this weekend's raid.
