Everyone Take a Deep Breath

It’s bound to happen eventually. Drama. Usually I hold myself back a little bit from most World of Warcraft related drama. Put it in the light of day, say it out loud and suddenly it seems pretty ridiculous.

Why is Hardcore Such a Dirty Word?

The term “hardcore” has become a dirty word. No one wants to be labeled as a hard core player; in fact everyone will do what they can to twist the meaning of casual just to make sure that they seem to fit into this category and no one could ever accuse them of being a hardcore player. Forgive me if I stop to roll my eyes.

Sliding Doors

The night we first stepped foot in Ulduar I /gquit. I’ll admit, it was a spur of the moment type thing. Not raiding at all seemed preferable to sticking around (yes, it was that bad).

Why I Love 25s

Over the last few weeks raid attendance to our 25 man progression nights has been abysmal. Vitare, our guild, is progressing reasonably well (2/5 ToGC 25 man) even though we’re only putting in, at the most, 1 night per week doing 25s. We’re coping with our poor turn out as best we can by recruiting [...]

OMG You Got Your Ass Kicked by a Girl!

Most of the time it doesn’t really cross my mind that I’m a girl gamer. I’m just another person in my guild and in my raid. I think about our progression, and I worry about standing in the fire just like any other raider. No different than anyone else, right?

Raiding 10s vs 25s

During our 10 man last week the conversation came up:
What do people prefer? 25 mans or 10 mans?

Bloodlust Lag, The Guild Killer

On Sunday night while Vitare was bashing their heads against Heroic Northern Beasts, we got some pretty shocking news. One of the top Alliance guilds on the server was disbanding. These were the players chasing the leading Alliance guild for fastest progression on the realm.
