Happy Birthday Guild!

Our little guild has turned 4 years old today!

And we are still there and going strong.

We’re looking forward to guild achievements and guild leveling in Cataclysm and hope very much that small guilds like ours that don’t raid so much will still be profit from the announced guild features!

4 years is quite a long time for a computer game. I and several others have been there at the beginning and we are still there! It was a ride with more ups than downs and I hope it will continue for as long as we have fun playing and the friendships will last even beyond the game :)

Here’s a link to the official guild news – including pictures from the last 4 years.

Achievements & Goals

I never got around to post a second part of the looting post and so it sat there keeping me from posting more interesting things – so I changed the title and I am leaving it at that (the guild discussion was finished in a similar manner through disinterest which is the main reason I never got to the second post).

I am actually playing quite a bit these days – with occasional breaks of a week or two of course.

Mostly I we are now questing in Icecrown – indeed The Final Goal before the Loremaster of Northrend awaits us – just about 110 more quests or so.

This morning we found out that Tenobaal as Beastmaster and I as Treemancer can finish “Threat from Above” – not easily but we can do it :) The pet tanks the dragon, the tree tanks the three cultists and the hunter kills everything.

So now the hunter is hunting for a new pet – his very first time being a beastmaster this is! He needs a pretty tank pet. Any suggestions?

I am hunting minipets: got Snarly and the Teldrassil Sproutling this morning and I am just one elusive book away from the Kirin Tor Familiar (my strategy: logging out in that spot and logging in early in the morning when Dalaran is empty).

The Ambassador Title is close – today or tomorrow I’ll reach it. After that I am going for the remaining Champions (working on Gnomeregan now, IF after that). On the side I am questing in Kalimdor. The Seeker title is close already – just about 150 quests and you bet I’ll be having my loremaster sometime soonish.

Just 14 more awards for the Chef title – Salty remains unattainable since I dare say I’ll never manage to win the contest.

When all that’s done I’ll be doing the battleground rounds.I already had tons of fun a few nights ago doing a few Arathis (needed marks for a pvp mount) and winning all four of them 5:0, 3 out of 4 1600:0 and one in less than 6 minutes. It was wonderful looking at the map seeing people use tactics, reacting and moving and just playing so good that it was a joy to be part of it.

Another goal is to get both the 10% shoulders (from Wintergrasp) and the 10% chest from heroics to outfit my lowbies to level faster. I lately did a couple of really quick levels on my Shaman (64 now) and I am hoping to improve the leveling speed even more. She needs new weapons. She’s still swinging those two third legs like she was an elekk.

You see: tons of goals and to little playtime.

PS: why are there so many things to buy for the Champion’s Seals and so few seals to get … grml.
