And now I can *really* say “Ding, Dong, the Witch is Dead”

Clearly the gods of Karazhan had it in for us; two weeks in a row, we’ve stumbled wearily into the Opera house only to find the denizens of Oz waiting for us – Strawman, Tinhead, Roar, Dorothee and her little dog too. Tonight was the first time we got the chance for more than an exploratory wipe, and on our third attempt we cleaned up the Crone and her minions in a very satisfying, clean and tidy fight.

And now it’s onwards to Curator! Our progression may be a little slower for the next few weeks while we consolidate the advances into both teams – a necessary evil as we look towards 25-man raiding as soon as possible – but this is a great foundation to move forwards. Now, if only we can lose some of the lag…

Abashed the Wardens stood, and felt how awful goodness is.

John Milton wrote that – or something like it – in Paradise Lost, and that’s what we did tonight. Despite the oh-so-solicitous concern of the Maiden of Virtue for our moral rectitude, we set out to divest her of all her worldly goods. We’d been working on Maiden for a few nights now and had been delayed by disconnects, lag, cancelled raids, bad luck with respawns, locusts – and of course the Maiden’s own nasty habit of killing the hell out of us.

Vanquished!

Next stop: Opera event, and then Curator.

State of the Union

So, here we are, nearly halfway through 2007, and communication’s been a bit lacking lately! Things should improve from here; watch this space for regular guild news and updates. The site is now fully up-to-date, incorporating all the entries from previous content management systems, although unfortunately we lost all the comments in the migration. Again. (Edit: Parts of the site, such as the left sidebar, do not render properly in IE7. Apart from suggesting that you get a real, standards-compliant browser, I can only apologise; it will be fixed as soon as possible.)

What are we up to?

We took a break from our raiding schedule with the release of the Burning Crusade expansion. We lost some of our oldest members, who are now mostly playing Horde-side, and we all enjoyed a break from the stresses of raiding. However, you can’t keep us out of trouble for long – we’ve just started our first Kara runs, currently running two teams. Current progression: Attumen on farm, Moroes down, and we’ve made some good attempts on Maiden of Virtue.

Recruitment-wise, we’re still waiting to see how our regular raider core shapes up before taking on new members, although we’re always open to family and close friends of current members. We will almost certainly be looking for new members as we move towards 25-mans, though, so if you’re interested in joining us for raiding, do get in touch.

Welcome to the new southernwardens.com website!

Mind the rubble, it’s still construction time around here. The rest of the static site contents should go up shortly, and I will be going back re-inserting posts from previous content systems back into the database.

We’ve changed back because Drupal was a) not secure enough, and b) massive overkill for what we wanted to do.

Expect more content shortly!
