Hello.

If you've come to visit ES, we've closed up shop.  Half of us went to Tranquil with the expansion, the other half went to Dark Chapter in Early January.  There are some remaining characters wearing the ES tag they are predominately Alts.

It's been a long run, From the beginning of BC through to the beginning of Cata, almost 4 years.  We've had some good times.

Good luck everyone, see you in this game or the next!

The hot potato has been passed again.  Bloodmongrel who has effectively been leading for the last month and a bit is now officially GM.  Please make sure you're looking at the guild calendar for raid times.

That is all.

Patch 4.0.1 on live servers this week
We have a long maintenance, official previews everywhere, and a couple of information confirming the patch on my side. Patch is this week, enjoy!

Extended Maintenance 4.0.1 Release - 10/12

From MMO Champion:

Cataclysm Release Date - December 7th
Season 9 starts on December 14th, a blue post stated that Cataclysm would be released one week earlier.

• +ARENA_MASTER_NO_SEASON_TEXT = "Arena battles and Rated Battlegrounds are only available during an active player versus player combat season. Season nine will begin on December 14th, so be prepared at that time to take your shot at glory!";

So, expect your new talent builds and abilities to be in between 1 month and 2 weeks before that release.  All of the pre cataclism events will probably roll in around that time too.  In essence 1 month to go before new shit! 

After the joint 25 man raid last night, the other officers and I decided to discontinue running the joint ICC with the folks from destined due to a variety of reasons.

The main reason is that they are just on a different page than us in regards to raiding, we are, on the whole, a guild that comes prepared and well versed on the fights whereas they tend to be a bit more casual. Also one glaring fact that I saw last night was a distinct clash of leadership types.

I would just like to say thank you to all who kept showing up and trying to make it work, and a big thanks to Bloodmongrel who was the driving force in trying to make 25 mans happen.

With saying all that, I know many of you are itching to do 25 man raids, and while I would love to see a full guild run, it just isn't going to happen. I encourage everyone to pug 25 man ICC as you like, and I will post in another thread some names of pug leaders I know well.

Again, another big thank you to all who have stuck with us, and to all the new faces, as the expansion nears, raid attendance tends to drop, and it's people like you that help keep things going.

Joel (Luminaris) out.
