Well, yes and no. But it is not yet summer, nor time for summer holiday. The days are getting longer and nights shorter once again, and yet again we do not let that bother us. No big things are happening as everyone is waiting for the next patch, but you can expect to see more about that (and about us) really soon.
Sadly there is still no announced date for the release of patch 3.1 and Ulduar, of which many of us have been eagerly waiting for. It could have been released a bit earlier as the players are getting anxious, but then again hurrying up a release has not recently been the thing with Blizzard. At least the status on Public Test Realm seems to finally show that the waiting will come to an end in a couple of weeks. Well, the free time we have had just means more time to direct our efforts elsewhere. Due to the lack of new content to try to go through, we have been digging through the current ones for some of the harder achievements.
With some luck, we were the 50th guild in Europe to reach The Immortal (at least according to wowprogress.com), and that with 20 players as the raid was originally meant only for Heroic: The Dedicated Few. As a side note, one of the participating 20 members was our beloved bean counter Pehu, the rogue who is also the manager of our virtual finances and who we usually take with us to represent the guild, as can be seen in the attached picture. Quite a few of our members have also gained the achievements for both Glory of the Raider and Heroic: Glory of the Raider during the last few weeks. Not maybe as many as we hoped, but quite a nice number nevertheless. And of course the time has not yet run out to do them. Hopefully we will see some challenges with similar difficulty inside the walls of Ulduar.
Some of you may have also noticed the recently added banner at the bottom of our web pages. The appearance of that means that we managed to gain a sponsorship deal from VentriloServers.biz which among other things is a popular provider of Ventrilo voice communication services. Hopefully the deal will be fruitful for both of the participating sides.
