The Wednesday update.

It's amazing how wrongly you can read a situation. In my case, as most of you are aware, I moved to Darksorrow to trial with a guild that I was of the impression was close to killing Ragnaros on heroic (6/7 pre-nerf). Alas, the truth turned out to be quite different. As of this reset, has ceased raiding - another tragic victim of the Firelord himself. It turns out that the guild were desperately trying to replace four or five high quality raiders who called time on 4.2 once the nerfs went in, and predictably failed to manage it.

Too many guilds are after too few players with the gear and capability to take on Ragnaros. It's a shame, but I'd like to thank Jawbreaker and the rest of the guys for giving me a chance and for being good humoured eggs throughout.

With that done and dusted, your intrepid author has to find a new home once more. Funnily enough, finding said home has turned out to be a more obvious decision than even I anticipated. A very good friend of mine is an officer in a 6/7 guild back on my very first realm and it appears they can use a man of my talents in their build up to 4.3. As I said in this column previously, what I prize is a living, breathing guild that has members who actually enjoy logging on outside of raid times. I couldn't quite manage that on Argent Dawn, struggled for my short stay on Darksorrow, but am buoyed by the fact that I know a good few members in the guild I'm aiming for and returning to Kilrogg will give me a lot of happiness as I can reconnect with old friends outside of my Battle.net account.

Naturally, a trial will have to be undergone (assuming I'm given one) but I'm confident I can make a good impression considering what I achieved in my short time on Darksorrow. Wish me luck!

In other news, my time posting on the WoW Europe forums has now come to an end. I was hit with a one-month ban last week, and it's the worst piece of forum moderation I've ever witnessed. I enjoy the forums, amazingly, but I'm afraid I cannot continue to contribute to something that can have the rug pulled from underneath it for the most innocuous of reasons.

Frankly, a ludicrously heavy-handed punishment when no rules were broken on my part (except under the most subjective of assessments) is wholly unacceptable, especially when extremely hateful and disruptive people are continually allowed to spam, troll and bully other posters without any fear of reprisal.

I've better things to do with my time.

And that's pretty much it for this weekly update. I'm still on the PTR, but there remains very little to actually get into from the warrior point of view. If you're looking for a general rundown of the features coming in the next couple of months, Wilpo's rundown is pretty comprehensive. Otherwise, I'll wait until there's something to actually test before giving you the lowdown.

Stay tuned. o/

  1. Oh man, that ban sucks. There is definetaly worse posts rolling on those forums than you could ever write - even with purpose to troll or bully.

    I wish I had the attitude to leave EU-forums alone but @day-threads are quite nice. Otherwise the forums aren't providing that much useful info except few guides or threads.

    Good luck with finding a new home - Zell(?)!

    P.S. Go Forsaken, they're dying source of nature at the moment.

    Was sorry to hear about aggrophobia. Wished we could've raided together, which would have been fun.
