There are few things more nerve wracking than the agonising wait for the last 2 or 3 drops which never seem to happen. For the last few weeks every boss kill was preceded by a collective intake of breath and a fervent prayer for a fragment drop.

Those must have been effective as Xilaran is now the proud owner of Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings! (one of the 3 Val'anyr on the server. Shun)

PS: On the night Apocalypse also killed Vezzax without a death.

Recent promotions include Krakkus (death knight) to the lofty role of Melee DPS Section Leader. Krakkus has very kindly agreed to take on that mantle and rise to the challenge.

"It will be an honour!" was his first reaction, quickly followed by "Err... what will I have to do?" once he had come to his senses. (*evil chuckle* Too late to say no then! Shun)

First reactions from the melee group are very favorable. Even Nyarti thawed a little to say : "Good choice. It's not like we need much babysitting anyway, melee tend to know what they are doing and when to do it but more coordination always helps." (I agree with you there Nya. Shun)

Tonight was the night when, under the disco lights of the four towers, we danced and twirled around Flame Leviathan.

Amid the chaotic ballet of flames, colored beams, ravenous flowers and under the constant deadly firework of missile volleys, the raiders of Apocalypse slowly but steadily circled around him destroying this unyielding construct cog by cog until, at last, in a desperate creaking and clanging of exhausted metal he collapsed in a shower of parts. (Literally parts since I took him apart afterwards. Mwahah!. Shun)

Apocalypse ventured into the cold caverns inhabited by Hodir determined to see what he held in that small white chest on his right. A couple of minutes later (on the 16th August), we were all snacking on his secret stash of cookies (there was loot as well but man were those cookies good )

Should you, by chance or happenstance, find yourself using Dalaran as a springboard towards the new territory of Northrend you will have noticed that there is a new crop of Rusted Proto Drakes proudly displayed by their Horde riders. (First Horde rusted Proto-Drakes! Shun)

One Saturday not long ago an epic battle, which started early in the afternoon and ended late in the evening, was fought and won. Three achievements separated our valiant group from the promised drake, two of those were some of the hardest fights to be found inside Ulduar: Knock, knock, knock and Firefighter, the third required only a blood sacrifice of a number of Dark Iron Dwarves. (Ably seconded at times by yours truly. Shun)
