This week, the raid quest was XT-002 which meant for many of us our first trip to Ulduar. We initially brought someone in, but when they left, were able to put together our first-ever 10-man guild group. Participating were Xerac, Buckram, Melvyl, Naco, Kidra, Kardexia, Smarty, Qyandri, Librarette, and Allora. We were successful with Flame Leviathan, Razorscale, XT-002, and gave Ignius a bit of  a workout. That is a very interesting fight.

Anyone with a character 70 or above who can be on at 1:00 pm server time (4:00 pm Eastern) is welcome.

Epilogue: We didn’t have a massive turnout but as it turns out, 5-6 pretty well-geared 80s can do a lot of damage in Kara. The Chess Game was actually the trickiest part, but we got through that and punched the Prince in the face.

There is a currently a Facebook event page and a Google Wave for discussion. Everyone who would like is encouraged to participate.

Realm: Aerie Peak

Server Time (Pacific): 11 a.m.

To begin, we will have six categories –

1. Horde: Level 1-30
2. Horde: Level 31-60
3. Horde: Level 61-80

4. Alliance: Level 1-30
5. Alliance: Level 31-60
6. Alliance: Level 61-80

Each category needs one designated leader that will not be a part of the hunt. The leaders will serve as a guide to the groups and judge for winner of this scavenger hunt.

Each category will be divided into groups of 3-10, depending on level of interest.

Originally, we were going to have everyone meet in Shattrath City. To simplify things, our meeting places will be based on your category. See below:

1. Horde: Level 1-30 meet near Mebok Mizzyrix in Ratchet. The leader of this category will be nearby.
2. Horde: Level 31-60 find Michael Garrett in the Undercity. Again, the leader will be nearby.
3. Horde: Level 61-80 meet near Vahgruk in the Burning Steppes, and the leader will be around.

4. Alliance: Level 1-30 find Marshal Dughan in Goldshire and wait. The leader of this category will be around.
5. Alliance: Level 31-60 meet near Daelyshia in Ashenvale. The leader will be nearby.
6. Alliance: Level 61-80 find Halu in Orebor Harborage. The leader will be close.

Category leaders are the only participants that can receive a list of items in advance. We do not want participants prematurely hunting. So, a list of items will be given on the day of the hunt with a time limit to acquire those items. Groups will return to the same location when the time limit has been reached.

Every item does not need to be found. Items can be found in any of the areas related to the groups level, and will vary in point value according to ease of obtainment.

For example:
*[light feather], can easily be farmed from a number of creatures in Terokkar Forest, would be worth 1 point;
*[feathered sash], can only be farmed from one creature in the Terokkar Forest, would be worth 10 points.
*[tiny green ragdoll], one item will be hidden in the forest, a group member will take a screen shot of item to be submitted at the of the hunt, would be worth 15 points.

When the time is up, all participants must be in the predetermined location to hand in the items for their team. Points will be divvied up per team. Prizes TBA.

Computer Security Recommendations

Of course, I really think your best bet is to get an authenticator. They are available as hardware, or software versions for your iPhone/iPod Touch, Android, and other platforms. Plus you get a really cool Corehound Pup.

Warcraft Panelists

Our illustrious Guild Leader Librarette aka Libraryman aka Michael Porter participated in a presentation at Computers in Libraries this week. Joined by Bob Beck and David Lisa, the presentation was entitled Bridging Community Research, Skill-Building, & Entertainment with World of Warcraft & Libraries. They discussed a bit about WoW, about how to implement the game in a library setting, and even something about our very own guild. You can read a full report over at 8bitlibrary.com.

And to anyone who attended the presentation and is now interested in joining with us, you are most welcome. We have gained a number of new members over the past few months and while we aren’t quite up to scheduling events yet, we have had several great opportunities to put together adhoc groups.

In-Game Librarian Conference

The WoW Libraries and Librarians Guild on Aerie Peak has been asked to contribute an image to both an exhibit and to the archive of the Computer History Museum!  They want an image of a large, diverse group of character in the guild together, posing interestingly.  The more we can get, the more interesting the photo, the better.

They need our screen shots Monday, so we are going to be meeting in-game this Sunday at noon Pacific time to coordinate the fabulous posing and picture taking.

Additionally, If we get over ten people I’ll be giving ot some fabulous in game prizes.  And if you have fabulous things to give away/share bring them too. Once we get the snaps we’ll commence with the goodie giving.  Pretty good chance we may do a run someplace once we get the snaps done too, but the big reason we are meeting is to help a fellow librarian/archivist and get some pretty sweet coverage of libs on the cutting edge of web interface and online community via WoW.

lmk if you have questions,k ?  Hope to see many of you in-game this Sunday!

Roszmairta modeling the Tunic of the Crescent Moon

Recalled and Roszmairta did their marathon sessions on Saturday, assisted in part by Questionr and myself. They got to see the wonderful sights of Hellfire Ramparts, Blood Furnace, Scholomance, and a full clear of Stratholme (alas, No Baron Mount). Everyone seems to have a good time and a fair bit of money was raised. Hopefully, next year, we can make it an even bigger and better experience.
