There’s One More Draco-Puppy in Doggy Heaven Tonight
After last week’s unexpected success with Chromaggus we returned, primed for battle and full of determination and Hourglass Sand. (That stuff scratches.)
Unfortunately Tasmania’s internet connection seemed to be on the fritz tonight – maybe someone was trying to run the toaster at the same time – so several of our most dedicated raiders were in and out more often than a hyperactive rabbit. Despite this, Chromaggus fell in the face of Wardens-style determination, grit, and animal abuse.
Congratulations to Causes, the first of our pally brigade to trade in the fearsome Bananaman shoulderpieces for some brand-shiny-new Judgement Spaulders, and to Amandrah on the much-cheaper-to-repair Netherwind Mantle. Alostrael picked up a swanky pair of Empowered Leggings, and Wocca our first Elementium Threaded Cloak.
And then it was on to Nefarian himself, the last BWL holdout who refused to bow before the might of Southern Wardens. Tonight was the first time we’d seen him, let alone attempted him, and after a few attempts learning how to manage the Drakonid adds in phase 1, we got a really great attempt underway – 18% on our last attempt of the night. Next week we’ll finish teaching him who’s boss.

AQ20 has been a side project while we focus on BWL with our casual raid style, so it was fantastic to finally drop a new boss on Friday night, Ossirian the Unscarred. Took us about 4-5 wipes I think to finally get it all down and I’d have to say, was probably one of the more fun fights I’ve been involved with. Great for team work and moving around as a group. So that now only leaves us with one boss in AQ20 that we haven’t killed. A lot of raiders are working on NR gear so we can give Ayamiss the Hunter a good run for his money and get this zone teabagged, SW style

Following on from an incredible week in BWL (Hi, Chromie 3%, 5% and 11% on Timelapse first ever attempts) the raid force from Southern Wardens laid absolute waste to MC. Full clear in a guild record 3 hours and 15 minutes!
Having 45 mins up our sleeves, it was decided to go along and pwn up some BWL with the fresh instance.
Razorgore was despatched smoothely with Holli breaking all the eggs for the first time. Not being a guild to call it quits, we decided to reload and have a shot at Vael. Sadly, 2% was as far as we got being a few people short. But this still gives us an extra 30-40mins of BWL time this weekend. We should be taking our first shots at Nef on Monday night, looking forward to it!
Southern Wardens burning up Blackwing Layer

In their continuing efforts to abate global warming trends, Southern Wardens has slain Ebonroc and Flamegor. Squaring off against the annoying Time-lapse breath of Chromaggus, three attempts landed near victories (less than 10% health remaining) against the mutant puppy from hell. Go pies! In other news – Nefarian is LF39 more to raid the Wardens on their next attempt. *rawr!*

Originally posted by Alla.
Citing numerous health-code violations, Stormwind city officials have found that Pubert’s [Modified Worg Carrier] is no longer fit for habitation. GM Wocca has declared this as a priority second only to raiding progress and is currently seeking governmental grants toward the research & development of a new carrier for the gnome.
Priestess Azuremoon commented, “I dont understand. We feed him a stack of [Dried King Bolete] every day, but I feel like I am cleaning up much more than that. I just can’t keep up – it’s Alla’s turn to clean up today!”
Guild engineers are divided regarding the creation of a new litterbox for the guild-gnome/pet with a dental fetish. Proposals are either to blow it up or to teleport fresh, steamy piles to another dimension.
Chief Engineer Ror said, “We don’t know what to do with all this stuff. I only make repair bots. We tried to vend it to the bots with explosive consequences. …oh! Fused wiring.”
Donations are being accepted to ensure a happy and well-fed Pubert for future forays into Blackwing Lair.

Read MoreBringing down the old sites.
If you’ve tried to access our old guild EQ2 or SWG websites you’d have seen they now forward to this main portal. I’ve brought both old game sites down because they’re now pretty much irrelevant — the guild isn’t active in either game, and all the ‘useful info’ is long since outdated. There are, however, a few screenshot galleries that will be salvaged and reposted when I get the chance.
Just to keep you all informed…
Read MoreWelcome to the all-new southernwardens.com!
As you can see, the site’s had a bit of an overhaul. We’re now using Drupal as a content management system, which is a lot easier than wrangling random static HTML pages, and it makes the site a lot more responsive to our changing needs as a guild.
Expect the interface style to change shortly, and I’ll be porting the old website’s content across as soon as I have time. In the meantime, feedback and suggestions are welcome. Old newsposts will be slowly appearing bit by bit. Until they’re fully migrated, you can see the old archive of newsposts here.
Incidentally, if Drupal turns out not to be a winner, I reserve the right to change it again. ;-)
