Damn! you can draw! i wish I can do that but sadly no lol Anyway, For all my readers/visitors out there I like to share this wonderful letter from Akabeko of Red Cow Rise Blog for Santa with thoughts of great blessings for me! <3 If you want to check out other responses and surprise gifts head to Aka's blog post about this years Furtive Father Winter 2011! Thanks!

Art and Illustrated by Akabeko of Red Cow Rise Blog! =)

Surprise! I'm your Furtive Father Winter gift giver! I've read (both) your blogs for a while and your enthusiasm and pleasantness always make me smile. After reading your shared topic post about what Amerence would do if she were transported to Earth, I decided to write about her making someone else happy! Your transmogrification post gave me the inspiration for her gear. Please find attached a jpg image and a doc containing a special letter to Santa :) Happy holidays! - Akabeko (Red Cow Rise Blog)

Dear Santa,

I went to the church for Christmas Dinner and there was a very funny lady there! She gave me some gravy for my mashed potatoes and then she sat next to me for dinner. Her name is Amerence and she talks kinda funny. I don't think she's from around here. She said that she was waiting on a summon for something – I didn't really understand but it sounded kind of scary. But instead of going to the scary place, she ended up here in my town and decided to come to the church! She says she's a priest, but I've never seen a priest in such a funny costume!

Amerence doesn't know any of the carols that I like to sing, but she sang some hymns in a funny language and when she did it looked like everything was glowing! Mr. Stevens said that his hip was hurting him again and she sang him a song and then it felt better! Amerence was really happy about that. She said it was her magic, and my music teacher says that music is magic so I understand. Sometimes I sing to my teddy bears when they feel sad and it always makes them happy.

I told Amerence about my family and my house and my bedroom. She said that she came from very far away and that if she couldn't go back, she would stay at the church and keep helping people! But then, it started to snow and we went outside to look. I wanted to show Amerence how I make a snowman so we went outside. But then, when I wasn't looking, the snow got really strong and Amerence disappeared! I think she must have gotten that summon she was talking about.

This year, for Christmas, I was going to ask for a different present, but I think that Amerence coming to visit me must have been my special gift. So instead, thank you, Santa! I liked my present very much.

Shared Topic: Into The Real World

noreply@blogger.com (Amerence) — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 04:47:00 PST

Hi guys, This week Shared Topic Idea over at Blog Azeroth was suggested by yours truly, I thought this would be an interesting topic to talk about. I do apologized for late response on this. I have been busy with raiding with my new guild in Magtheridon, gearing up my priest and work. But Anyway, I will try my best to post something that will just answer the questions I asked. So here goes nothing!

If my main character will be ported out to the real world what will I do?

First I would like to say that since my main character is a human priest I think she can blend in well with the real people. But of course there will always be an initial shock how the hell did i get there. But I gotta make sure to find a shelter.

Where do I stay?

I think the safest place to go to is the church, I am sure a real life priest don't mind me staying the cathedral at least for a day until I figure out how to get back to the gaming world. and then I will visit my summoner Christine to visit her place and probably hang out with her.

What clothes will I where?

As far as clothes, I can always ask the nuns in the church to lend me a clothes and I think its a good disguise and not too obvious to let the real people see me as too colorful because I am animated. or I can always ask Christine to lend me some clothes.

What food shall I eat?

Some food are familiar to me like bread, milk, pumpkin, cake so I think I can deal with that I am sure Amerence will be delighted to taste the real life food.

How will I use my powers to help the real life people who needs help?

Since I am a priest, and for a day I am able to stay in the church I think I will be able to help with some chores such as assisting them with the Sunday mass, talking to people who needs advice, enlighten them and encourage them not to give up if they are struggling and I will cast Prayer of Mending to each one of them so it will bounce without even knowing it that I casted it and should at least give them positive thinking and encourage themselves that it's not the end of the world and they will lived happily and healthier.

Okay, well sorry if my response to this topic is not very well put. But at least I tried, but for good laughs I was able to watch this video i found in youtube and really laughing my ass off. Leeeeroooyyyy Jenkinnnss! lmao! So here it is! its titled REAL LIFE WOW. The narrator is giving you explaination on each situation so maybe that will give you an idea. =) video was posted by Dogstaglou channel.

Anyway, Thanks for reading and watching the video! Have a great day everyone!

noreply@blogger.com (Amerence) — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 06:58:00 PST

Also about the Shared Topic This week that was suggested by me, I will post it up tmr. or Sunday last day of the week. Just been busy with not much sleep because of work and raiding.

Shared Topic: Make your own Race

noreply@blogger.com (Amerence) — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 10:28:00 PST

Hi guys, This week Shared Topic Idea over at Blog Azeroth is brought to you by Mia at Chronicles of Mia Blog. She asked: "With the new Mists of Pandaria expansion, a lot of people didn't like the idea of Pandas being part of World of Warcraft. So using the races/models that are available; try your best to mix and make your own race. (ex: You can make half nightelf and half turtle! Or Undead Orcs!) What racials would you include? What classes can this race have?"-Mia

To answer all the questions Mia was asking about, I have read this article from WoWWiki about Races Ideas, a list of different races that could possibly be joining the current races available in World of Warcraft, these creatures that we had fought and killed before are stronger than you think. I will list my choices based on the article linked above, and see if you also like them or not, give your opinions about it as well. or join the Shared Topic so you can also give your point of view, tomorrow is the last day so hurry and make a post now! Take note that the description posted below are credits to WoWWiki. I just point out what good information about the race I choose that can be a possible new race for World of Warcraft and I did add a little humor because I just like to haha.

My First choice: Arrakoa You may have noticed them during Burning Crusade in Outlands, they have their own unique language, and have greater than average intelligence, they are as smart as gnomes in game. they may look like a bird to you but they don't posses the ability to fly. They are bipedal and otherwise completely humanoid. Besides the looks that could be scary to children running around in Azeroth lol, They are shown to be redeemable and trustworthy creatures. This race could be possible be either both Alliance and Horde factions. They are friendly with draenei and orcs. So this race can be a great addition, don't know about the abilities yet though. What do you think? I can see classes for this race as priest, mage, and shaman.

My Second Choice: Murloc Murlocs live in independent tribes, each tribe to its own village of usually six to twelve individuals. You can see them around Azeroth a lot in large body of water, like around Westfall area? remember the first quest line in that zone yea those little bastards! Fish headed guys!, Anyway, They speak Nerglish. (it is shared with other races of the sea). They have an average intelligence, and worships a Sea Witch (probably Ursula from Little Mermaid lol). They can breath air, but cannot remain out of water for long. Their skin is scaled like a fish and requires moisture to stay supple. They are not very known to Horde faction, so I say this race can only be available to Alliance side. I can see this race being a melee type like warrior and rogues, But what do you think?

My Third Choice: Ethereal First released and seen in Burning Crusade as well, Netherstorm, Nagrand and other areas in Outlands. I like these dudes they look so cool as hell! Some people may dislike the idea of "intergalactic mummies", having seen the reaction to the similarly themed "alien" draenei. Ethereal has a fragmented society already shown to comprise several factions, some of these neutral or friendly to players and some outright hostile. An ethereal's true form is not likely to be playable as it is elemental rather than humanoid. In their true forms they are an insubstantial beings of pure energy, so lack distinguishing features and cannot wear armor (technical difficulty). Horde thinks the technological aspect of is destructive to them, So this race can be favor for Alliance more. Classes can be possibly anything. What do you think?

So far these are the three races that I can possibly be able to play in World of Warcraft, also can be a great addition to the races we currently have. If I really like to make my own race for this game? I can't really tell you besides what is listed above of my own choices, as long as I enjoy playing it and having fun I think I am okay. Anyway, That's it for today guys! Hope the link above is a great resource to know what WoWwiki thought about a possible races for World of Warcraft. Anyway, I also want to know what your choices are? or Did you already make your own race? Please share your thoughts! Tomorrow is the last day for this shared topic to end this week. So hurry! for more information visit Shared Topic at Blog Azeroth Forums, or at Chronicles of Mia Blog. Have a great day!

White Ribbon: Please Support TGQ!

noreply@blogger.com (Amerence) — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:50:00 PST

[Trigger warning on links for discussion of rape, violent assault, self-harm]

Hi guys, This response is to support Alyzande of TGQ (The Gold Queen blogger). It's been a heated discussion around the community and twitter-sphere about Aly's personal struggle against rape/sexual abuse that for the first time she opened up publicly in her blog about what happened to her lately and due to her absence and unable to post recent updates on her blog. As I was reading her story, I totally understand what she's been through, and it's okay to tell the world what happened, because you need to voice that out or else it will just hunt you down for the rest of your life!

I also like you guys to visit Apple Cider Mage blog and Flavor Text Lore site of what their thoughts on this as they also support the White Ribbon Campaign. To the people who call Alyzande a liar or a scammer, You don't have sympathy, and probably your very insensitive and don't have emotions at all! I feel sorry for you because sexual abuse or any type of violence is a serious issue and nothing to be ashamed of. I would rather speak up about it because a lot of women out there is been struggling to move on with their lives because of that, and that is painful and some even commit suicides because they think that no one supports them.

So to prevent that things from happening there are a lot of people here that are supporting each other to end the violence like the White Ribbon Campaign - an organization encouraging boys and men to stop violence against women. For Alyzande, God Bless you always and I wish you well and fast recovery. Take care hon. I may not know you personally but I am here to support you! =)

Shared Topic: Bring Back the Changes...

noreply@blogger.com (Amerence) — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 18:50:00 PST

Hi guys, This week's Shared Topic over at Blog Azeroth is brought to you by Mia at Chronicles of Mia. The list of things that I will share here are changes that I like to bring back. So hopefully it will recall your memories that somehow it was fun having them before. Especially when I started playing during Burning crusade and up to this recent expansion. I will call these The Triple P changes and I think these changes are Permanently.

"Before I was going to bed, I heard someone talk to my husband about some changes in WoW they wish didn’t happen. Like removing some quests, content, class changes. One of the things that popped into my head was “companion deaths”. During the Ragnaros fight in Classic, I heard someone in vent go “Did someone’s cat died?” and sure enough, my Black Tabby companion died. Everyone busted up laughing. So I thought about some other changes that I would bring back…just for the day? For the week? and Permanently?"

Potions

I remember when we used to stack up potions in our bags, and during raids we are able to use as many potions as we like, meaning we didn't have to worry about losing mana during that time, I know that since the change we can only use 1 potion now in 1 full raiding time, I was never used to it, but the total mana of some classes has increased so that's why having to use potions is not really necessary, but until this day it still bugs me when I like to use at least 2 or 3 mana potions or even just health potions can be very helpful on some encounters. Same with pre-potting using some battle elixirs. I wish that it will bring back that change to what it was before, but I don't think it will anymore. Oh well!

Portals

It was a long time to get over with the changes of portals in Dalaran, I still like to level with some of my alt characters in that zone still I know that we can but we probably have a mage with us to do that just to port from one city to another, I wish they can just bring back the portals there, it's a floating city! what do they expect us to do if we want to save our hearthstone there right? I know we can just fly around but is taking us too much time or even using the flight path. I was just hoping at least putting 1 city to go to from Dalaran to Stormwind and Ogrimmar. It's sad but anyway, I guess that Blizzard will never bring back those portals anymore. =(

Paladin

Long before Wrath of Lich King expansion released, I remember doing some Paladin Class Mount quests with my guildies I was a Holy priest back then, I never played a Paladin but helping a fellow guildie brings back memories the time that we have to go through all the Npc's and different Zones just to get the quest done. The quest was available prior to patch 4.0.1 at level 60 and gave the same rewards. I am not sure about the Warlocks too, I think it was the same change that Paladin did. It was all fun doing Class Mount quests, I hope that on Mists of Pandaria we can do a Mount quest for the Pandaren will be awesome, because it will add more adventure and fun especailly the story behind it. there is no fun just to buy the mount so easily right?

These are things that I like to bring back, It was fun having them before. But unfortunately we can't now since there are so much changes that I don't think Blizzard will even care.

Judges, Categories and Drawing date

Thank you to all the judges who will help judge this event! Also Judges please communicate with each other, on the last day of the event I will give you a vent info so we can talk over the winners. Judges are welcome to join for fun if they want to, but to avoid confusion and entry issues I would rather not judges join for this event. The judges then will rate based on criteria/categories; (Scores will be rated as percentage basis.)

The Judges

Categories

Creativity - How you put your skills to the test maybe you have some hidden talent that has not yet been discovered, drawing perhaps? even just a screen shots from the game but that depends on you how creative you are.
Originality - Your thoughts what makes this event awesomet! So Is it a poem? A story? or a simple Thank you note! but still gives originality that you didn't copy paste from other sites/books etc.
Fun - I know that you think this might not be a best choice category to choose, but Hey, we want this event to be fun, and by doing that we also want to see how your post reflects the audience, Is your post an eye catching one, does your fellow bloggers reading it many times and maybe perhaps there is a humor to your post. whatever it is, this category will be judge as well.

How the Scoring Works?

Judges will rate each participants by each categories, after getting all the participants graded percentage they will then divide this to 3 and whichever participant has the highest percentage wins but we will only pick one as the best of all, if there is a tie, Judges and I will talk this over and decide. Example below how to compute the scores, Hope this will help judges; After giving all the participants graded each category I will be the one to tallied the grades and reveal the winners. Judges will only grade each participants by each categories. I will calculate the rest!

Example
Amerence Post (Judges Grade on each category:)
Formula: Creativity+Originality+Fun% = Graded Categories/3 = Total Grade percentage just round it up

Angelya - Creativity -90%, Originality 85%, Fun 95% || 166.25%/3(categories) = 114% total grade
Filmys - Creativity 80%, Originality 80%, Fun 80% || 128.0%/3 (categories) = 96% total grade
Hydra - Creativity 90%, Originality 100%, Fun 95% || 180.5%/3 (categories) = 124% total grade
Beru - Creativity 80%, Originality 82%, Fun 75% || 121.5%/3 (categories) = 95% total grade
Matticus -Creativity 75%, Originality 90%, Fun 97% ||160.25%/3 (categories) = 109% total grade
Oestrus - Creativity 90%, Originality 80%, Fun 87% || 147.9%/3 (categories) = 106% total grade
JadedAlt - Creativity 80%, Originality 75%, Fun 80% || 124%/3 (categories) = 93% total grade

Calculation of Total Grade added all together and divide it by 7(judges) get the final & overall grade! 114+96+124+95+109+106+93% = 598/7 (judges) = 178% overall score!

Drawing date

Closing date of the event is on the 26th and Drawing date will be on Nov.28, 2011 this way judges has time to review and reveal winners to be announce on the 28th. Judges will give me a shout out in twitter or here who are their best choices,after all the scores graded. I will pick 3 winners who are the 3 lucky bloggers who deserves to win. First pick will be the 3rd prize winner, 2nd pick will be the 2nd choice and the last pick will be the 1st prize winner. Since I am hosting this event I cannot join.

Shared Topic: Dear Pandaren, What class should I role?

noreply@blogger.com (Amerence) — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 09:24:00 PST

Hi guys! This week's Shared Topic Idea is brought to you by Yourstruly over at Blog Azeroth for Nov.7-13, 2011. Just thought to share this idea about knowing What class are you playing with the new race Pandaren on the new upcoming expansion (Mists of Pandaria)?. I know most players are excited to role as a Monk, but there are lots of options to choose from, Are you going to be a Pandaren healer, melee, caster dps or a tank? Please share your thoughts!

My first choice is going to be a Pandaren Monk. Why I choose this? It is simply because it's a new class and it fits right to play it with the Pandaren race. Pandaren maybe fat and very cuddly but they can be powerful like any other classes available right now. Monk is a melee type class and they will not be called "Masters of Martial Arts" if they don't know how to kick, punch and cast magic right? I am one of those players out there that is excited to welcome the new class and the new race to play once the new expansion comes live.

My second choice would be a Pandaren Shaman Healer. Why I choose this? I've been meaning to really level a shaman before Cataclysm was released, but just been really difficult for me at that time to level 2 alternate characters when I was also trying to level my mage at the same time. So I focus myself on my mage and ignored my shaman until level 17, also I couldn't afford to buy any gears to catch up to the end game content to provide anything for my alternate characters and my priest, but now that I am motivated to level another alt besides my druid that I just started 2days ago, I will definitely level this class after the monk one. How about you?

The last choice I had in mind is the Pandaren Fire Warrior. Why I choose this? I am very curious about the tank warriors, having a Pandaren with this class will be an awesome choice for me since Pandaren are strong with Strength, resistance, Stamina and stats needed as a tank. Master weapon of handling swords are great as well. I never had a warrior before and I know that they could be hard to level but maybe that will change now, since we will be leveling in a new zone in Pandaria.

Anyway, I can't wait to read your thoughts about this as well. Maybe one of your choices could either be a mage, priest, or could be a hunter who knows? I know that we haven't really seen images about the female pandaren and how they look like since Blizzard hasn't release anything about that yet. I am excited what hair styles they will have, I know some creative artists out there been sharing thoughts what the female pandas will look like but what really caught my eye is this image that could possibly be what a female pandaren will look like. What do you think?

So far, bloggers and other great wow community sites are talking about the new upcoming expansion that give us great information everyday of what to expect, giving us tips and advice. I hope you also liked the images I put up today they are animated for your entertainment. Anyway, If you want to participate on this week's Shared Topic for Nov.7-13, 2011 visit Blog Azeroth Forums for more information or link back here for your replies. Thanks guys! until next time! =D

Gears, Guild, Raid and More!

noreply@blogger.com (Amerence) — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 08:54:00 PDT

Hi guys, I know it's been a week since I came back to gaming and blogging. Just thought to share that my first week raiding with my guild Vagrants in Staghelm server was okay. At first I thought since it's Tuesday I might not able to get a spot to raid with them but I did. We cleared the bosses up until Ragnaros, of course as I learned the mechanics of the fight while watching all the Tankspot videos, still I have to ask our raid leader to give me an overview on how my guild does it because different guild has different strategies and especially in 10 mans because we have to adjust the position and assignments.

DID I BLAME MYSELF WHILE RAIDING?

Google Images

I am a little frustrated with myself Tuesday night because we wipe 3times on Ragnaros and I think it was because of me, I keep dying but I told them and apologized that it was my first attempt with the boss and coming back to raid again after a month seems so overwhelming to me. I know they understand me and telling me it wasn't my fault. they said "We started as an off night". But I still told our GM that I can step out and get a replacement to dps instead of me. So a warlock logged on and they moved on. After an attempt I asked if they have killed Ragnaros they said they did not.

PROGRESSION to FRUSTRATION

Screenshot Edited By Me

I know that my guild worked so hard to clear the content, and having someone new to the group they get frustrated because they do want to clear it in one night because if not it will be a waste of time wiping, So I totally understand that. But sometimes we can't just expect that every night is always a smooth run. there are nights that are good sometimes bad. I myself is not a perfect player and I know I am competitive, I was under geared compare to them, so I can only pull enough dps based on my current stats and gear, but I know I admit that me dying in raid should not be an excuse to cause a wipe I know that I can do better than that, It was just a rough night for me and the guild because we did start raiding late waiting for everyone to logged on and not having the core raiders to clear it.

MY GEAR UPGRADES AND MORE
But anyway, despite all the qq's and frustration about the run I am happy

My WoW Armory

that I got a few upgrades for myself to share, I know I still have long ways to get all the gears that I wanted for an upgrade but for one night having all of these makes me happy and satisfied. I didn't want to be greedy that night but since they said it's okay and no other clothies to compete with that needs them It was given to me. So here are the list of the gears I got in one night including my first Tier 12 of the night. Wings of Flame, Heartstone of Rhyolith, Mantle of Closed Doors, Embereye Belt, Vestment of the Cleansing Flame.

I enchanted them, gemmed and everything is in place trying to reforge everything to get my stats back and practiced on a dummy how much I can pull, I think with the upgrades I got from that run will help boost my dps even more so I am happy with that. Besides having to end my night with great loots, I also got the Tabard of the Achiever achievement, It was actually unexpected after wearing my Ironforge tabard it just pop infront of my screen that I gained the achievement and a mail waiting in my inbox for an Epic Tabard.

Anyway, Thanks for reading guys! also just a question for all of you. How are you doing with your raiding/progression and gear upgrades? Have you completed your Tier 12 yet? I am thankful to my guild for understanding me. Have a great day! =)

Highlights of my Hallow End's Event

noreply@blogger.com (Amerence) — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 14:02:00 PDT

Happy Trick or Treating guys, Today is the last day of the Hallow's End event in World of Warcraft. Hope you enjoyed doing all the achievements and killing the Horseman in Scarlet Monastery and farm to possibly get the Horseman's Mount. Getting all my Hallow's End achievements was fun and got my title Hallowed Be Thy Name. So I have some screen shots here to share for your entertainment.

I took this screenshot with my Sinister squashing pet, just thought to share it to you how creepy that snake was, it is a costume that is part of the event once you go in to trick or treating in any Inn Keepers. this was one of the costumes casted on you. This snake can crawl fast, but the costume doesn't stay long and I think it only last for about 15 secs. Anyway, I had fun with it while I was doing the Northrend Trick or Treating Achievement.

This one is a cute but scary little alien costume. when I was in Storm peaks to trick and treating, My Sinister squashing pet seems tired and decided to just sit. I love these different costumes casted on you while you do this achievements but most of them you can't do it while casting your mount to go any place. I hope Blizzard can do that fly around azeroth with this costume will be epic! what do you think?

A Mask for All Occasion achievement was easy enough to do, when you get about 40pcs of Trick and Treat candies, a prize given by any dailiy quests of the event, You can purchase the masks from the Kid vendor in Stormwind. At least that was done, I didn't use all the mask instead i just sell them back because my bag is getting full lol, Anyway, If you haven't done this today just do all the dailies and Trick or Treat all the Inns in Azeroth you can get Handful of goodies to buy whatever you need for the acheivement.

Trick or Treats of Northrend achievement was easy to do, with your mount flying around Northrend made it so much easier. From Borean Tundra to Grizzly, Storm Peaks and Howling Fjord you can get lots of candies for you to enjoy. One of the things that I keep getting was Sinister Squashing I think I had like 8 of them after getting my achievement done, so I just deleted them because it cannot be vendor in AH or by any vendors, would be awesome if it did.

Lastly, I was leveling a druid and she is now level 5, thought I could get one of these trick or treat baskets and did get an achievement. I had fun despite the short time doing all of it before the event ends. I had run the horseman dungeon with my brother to farm the ring but I only gotten the Caster ring, was hoping to get the spirit one but it's okay, maybe I will be lucky next time. WoW events such as this are always fun, you just have to dedicate your time to do it. Guides are always available in WoWwiki, Wowhead and other blogs out there.

Just a quick advise too in real world, if you have kids that will trick or treat outside or in the malls tonight please don't leave your kids unattended! Go with them and Enjoy yourselves too but don't forget your responsibility to make sure they are safe and secured. I know your kids will look lovely, adorable and awesome with their costumes on even for the parents and regular adults out there that will have some party tonight just drink responsibly and enjoy your Halloween parties. I hope you also enjoyed reading the Highlights of my Hallow's End event today! Happy Halloween guys and Enjoy Trick or Treating Everyone!

My Guild Made the Panda Sad

noreply@blogger.com (Amerence) — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 20:25:00 PDT

A month being away from my keyboard and raiding in game it seems like it's been a year since I last logged in. I talked to my guild master about our recent guild progression and She said that everything was great and our guild actually finished the normal mode of Firelands on farm mostly every week. I am happy to know that everything was fine. They are pretty much geared to the tooth and ready to kill some heroic mode bosses.

Until just recently we lost a couple of members again, not just a social or regular member but one of the core raiders of the guild. Coming back was exciting yes, but hearing these news I sank and got disappointed because not only does the guild think they can't push heroic mode with lack of core raiders especially missing a tank, it is hard to find a replacement. I totally understand that especially now a days even 10 man raiding guild is hard to manage because if only two or more players missing in raids, we won't be able to progress at all.

After talking to my co officers, two damage casters took off and left with loots after clearing the content, for me that shows there was no commitment in the guild and just very self-centered players that only wants to gear themselves up and leave. I know this is just a game and players leave or stay and we can't stop them but just to show respect to those who helped you geared up and clear the content at least have the decency to say thank you and give a valid reason why you are leaving the guild. Also a tank will be leaving soon as well because he doesn't want to play the new upcoming expansion Mists of Pandaria. (that does make the panda sad).

One of our officers is also leaving for Air force training soon in November. We can't stop them from quitting or taking a break from the game because I've been there. But I just hope that we can explore the new continent, new class to level up, and much more to do with the original members of the guild to play together with the new upcoming expansion. It makes me sad because the guild will lose interest of moving forward again because of the players who left, I just hope not. But now that I am back hopefully I can get some players from my old server to come and help out and move on to heroic mode. I know that I am so behind on gearing up my priest but I am trying to get in raids and hopefully I will get a spot to raid with them again next week.

Wish us luck for upcoming guild progressions, all I ask from my guild mates, co officers and guild master to not give up especially that a new upcoming expansion is coming up. I am sure it will be more fun to play World of Warcraft again. So please if you are interested to join us or help out our roster we only raid twice a week every Tue and Wed 7-10pm central/5-9pm pacific. We are in need of a Tank, Dps (Druid, Ret Pally) or please visit www.vagrants.info for more information or just drop in an application anytime.

Also, How is your guild doing now a days? Are they excited to play the new upcoming expansion? Or they are just quitting soon? Hope to hear your side of the story about guild, the progression and your members reactions on the new upcoming expansion. Thanks guys and Have a Good Day!
