Sunwell

Last night was our first guild event. It was a smashing success in my opinion. :-) Most of our guild, at least those big enough, went and had some fun. We picked up some old friends from Red Dawn, Hooligan Nation, and Shattered Dreams. Twenty one of us charged into Sunwell and met, surprisingly, tough mobs. Granted we had three that hadn't hit 80 yet with us, so they died...a lot. We wiped a few times on the first boss before I finally went and read up on it. Strategy in hand, we tried it, wiped once, and then I think it finally clicked what we needed to do. The next time in we killed the sucker, collected loot, and traveled on. We watched a short clip with Brutallas and tried him a few times before I had to call it for raid time.

No, we didn't get the achievement, but oh my goodness, we had fun. Everyone I talked to said they had a blast.

Let me set the scene for you...

The few of us from Sacred Pack are hanging out at the stone asking our friends if they'd like to come. Jules and I are inviting and everytime someone new joins the raid, chat is filled with their name followed by a thousand exclamation points. As we get everyone there and summoned, we start hoping on vent and chit chatting. A group heads on in the instance while a couple of us stay at the stone to keep summoning. Kroff is one of the ones that has headed inside....you know there's gonna be trouble.

I start grabbing some people from Red Dawn: Hypo, Sirgona, Bashy, Smaque, Drew...they all get there and head on inside.

I'm chatting with someone and try to get our group a little more filled up when I hear Kroff cackling and he says over vent "Incoming!". Oh...boy...

Yep...I look over at his screen and he has a HUGE mechanical thing following him...straight to the raid group.

Everyone just kinda hangs out so I calmly say over vent "Ummm...you might want to move cause he'll vanish."

A couple of people are like "omg!" and head out of the instance...but Sirgona...dear sweet Sirgona.../mourn.

Oh yea...we're all dying laughing at this point. I'm watching from the stone as about five ghosts go running past me into the instance.

So we're laughing it up and poking fun at each other still getting some more people there, when I hear it again. "Incoming!"

Yep! The master mind is at it again. This time his target isn't Sirgona, who has already tucked tail and headed straight for the door. This time Kroff's headed straight for Mar and Poncho. And well.../mourn.

That was the kind of hilarity that ensued last night when you get old Wolfden folks together. And that doesn't even touch at the fun on vent.

It makes me sad that we had to split into three guilds after Wolfden met it's demise. It's sad knowing I'm going to log on every day and not see all those guys in my guild. But getting together like we did last night...good times.

Kroff has to gentle remind me that we can do those kinds of things whenever we want to stay in touch with everyone. There not going anywhere and neither are we and it is okay that we're not all in the same guild. We're still around and we still know how to have fun.

I love my guild and I love the guys that came over. I miss the ones that didn't and know that I hold you close to my heart and love you just the same as my guildmates.
