Bear mounts and the Sunwell and recruitment updates - oh my!
Wednesday, April 2, 2008
Hello friends! Long time no update! It's been a busy past few months, farming up Black Temple and Hyjal, doing alt ZA runs, and generally enjoying what really has been the first "break" OTR has been able to take in quite some time. Not that it was a real break - we didn't all hop on a plane to Hawaii to sit on the beach sipping margarita's and reminding the hapless waiters that we wanted no salt - NO salt. Indeed, we spent our time farming up phat lewts and hot epics in BT and Hyjal, but it really was quite relaxing to not have any pressure on ourselves.
But hey, that's over and done with! The Sunwell is open and we're knee-deep in all kinds of wonderful new stuff. On to the news and updates!
First and foremost, congrats go out to Kandar on being OTR's first recipient of an [Amani War Bear] from Zul Aman. Truth be told, most of us aren't terribly big fans of ZA, nor is there much in there gear-wise that is appealing when you're decked out in Tier 6 level gear, which is why we really haven't put a lot of effort into timed ZA runs until recently. Never the less, expect to see many more bear mounts in the coming weeks!
Next, an update on our current status. We've been in the Sunwell since day one, and I'm pleased to say that Kalecgos has us on farm status. Er… yeah. We've been doing good, picked up a couple of nice trash epics and smelting books, and last night we got Kalecgos down to less than 10% on both sides, so he should be dead very, very soon. It's a really great fight, and a very well-tuned fight on top of that. Blizzard did a good job with the Sunwell, and we in Order of the Raven are just happy to finally have something new to do!
Finally, a big recruitment update. That's right folks - here's your big chance to try out for a raiding spot in Aggramar's premier raiding guild! Here's what's up:
Recruitment is now CLOSED to Shadow Priests. Thank you to all of the Shadow Priests who have sent in applications - we really appreciate your time and the effort that you put into your applications.
Recruitment is now OPEN for the following three raid spots:
- 1 Restoration Shaman
- 1 Elemental Shaman
- 1 Feral Druid (tank not dps)
As always, we're looking for raiders with high playtime (5+ nights a week), high-end raiding experience (BT/Hyjal preferred, SSC/TK is ok), the best gear that is available to you (no blue or green machines need apply), extremely good knowledge of your class and the mechanics of the other eight classes, and most importantly a positive attitude and a willingness to learn and adapt to new content and new challenges.
Also as always, even if your class isn't listed as open for recruitment, we are always interested in receiving applications from exceptional players. If you feel that you meet these qualifications, head on over to our recruitment page now and send us your application!
Keep your eyes here soon for upcoming Sunwell kills! Till then, game on!
