GKP Run - Take two

Tonight I joined the GKP run on my druid. This is the second time I have run with Phoenix Guardians on their runs.

Blizzard gave very little warning that tonight the server was going down at 8pm ST and the run was scheduled to start at 6pm ST. My initial disappointment, believing the run would surely be cancelled, was short lived as it was indeed to proceed.

The Gkp runs have their own chat channel in game and due to macros for people to be there and ready to go at 6pm we were actually well on the way through trash by the time raid start time arrived.

Guild accounts hacked

We have had a spate of guild member accounts hacked, as I am sure many others have too. And everytime there is usually a week or so delay before the items are reinstated to the guild bank (by ingame mail to me) and a corresponding email sent to my email account confirming what was sent ingame all very formal and proper.

The most recent hacking resulted in a few trivial items being taken from the guild as i had locked down the goldseller candy.

Mixed emotions

Today I am very tired (having had only a few hours sleep) and suffering the worst case of mixed emotions.

Last night after the weekly (Naxx 25 man run) 8 of us decided to go and do some of the Dedicated few achievements in Naxx.
We didn't have enough online to think about an undying so off we went. 

The eight of us managed to clear the Arachnid quarter with ease and progressed to the Plague quarter and then on to the Construct quarter. All without too much incident.We were relaxed and having fun, mucking about even.

None of us dared to talk about the fact that we had cleared three quarters without dying on a boss.. Next was military quarter but when we got to Razuvious a decision had to be made.........

Things change

Things change - its a simple fact of life. And if you are a  GM you have to initiate and implement changes as seemlessly as possible.Oh and ideally being psychic and knowing when to implement these changes at EXACTLY the same time as people are ready for them.

It might be that when your guild was starting you set up these wonderful raid training runs to gear people up and get them raid savy. It might be that every week you returned over and over to naxx to teach people how to get out of the fire, to change targets, to think and to do.

ICC 25 man GKP.

So I finally attended my first ICC GKP Run. I have had my name down for a few weeks but because they have so many wanting spots It was many weeks of standby before i finally got a chance to be "Confirmed".

Now I'm no hardcore raider, so I always get extremely nervous about doing things in pugs. And worse doing new content with pugs, which is why I tend to avoid them.

However I wanted to attend this particular one for the opportunity to buy some upgrades and for the potential of progression.

I am so Proud!

I am feeling a little like a proud mother right now.

Hi my name is Katrina and I am an Achievement whore. I use to be happy with just one every now and then. Now a day cant go by without a desire to have just one. Just give me one little shot... just one.

Dwarf MIA

I have been somewhat slack about posting.

Partially due to my thirst for achievements, partial because of Wow/Life balance and partly because I had nothing to say. Add to that everytime I had a spark of an idea Sardonica seemed to have the idea soon enough before me to post something first. Which left me with the options of posting and have it appear I was following his thought patterns or say nothing (other than the curses under my breath) .. I opted for the latter.
