This message is for all Prepared members past and present.
I heard you like folded and shit so I'm gonna open up Mount Hyjal one more time so you can whack my sexay blue ass like a loot pinata.
You heard me right!
The most annoying, stressing, resolve-breaking, tree-shaking, bond-making boss of Prepared's history is offering you a fight.
Are you a tree hugging hippy?
Do you just look at a large group of mobs and think 'pull these and AoE (they don't hit hard)'?
Have you got BALLS OF STEEL?
Can you avoid the fire?
Do you like to get FINGERED?
If you can answer yes to all of these then bring your ass along to CoT at around 3pm ST on Saturday. Alts welcome as long as you bring enough in total to make it worth me climbing out of bed.
Remember - keep in touch in the Prepared channel by doing /join Prepared in game. That and I AM THE COMING OF THE END
It saddens me to say that I've decided to put Prepared's 25 man raiding to sleep.
There are a number of factors that have caused me to reach this decision so rather than feed you long paragraphs I thought I'd put them into a nice, easily digestible list:
- it's been constant battle to keep attendance and sign-ups at a decent level
- there's a lack of 25 man raids generally, which leads to
- very slow progress.
- a large portion of our raiders are simply not up to the standard required to progress
- some people are just completely ignorant toward the leaders of this guild, and this ruins raids
- there is no sign of recruitment picking up recruits applying at the level we need to progress
I have some ideas about what I might do with the guild, maybe a 10 man version of us with people I know who will both attend well and be able to perform to a high standard. Maybe we'll even kill LK on heroic mode. But this is a just an idea at the moment - watch this space.
That said, I'm also going to have a little look around myself to see if anyone is interested in a DK tank on our faction/server. A small part of me still wants to beat 25 man content.
Whatever happens I won't be closing down the guild in game. It will remain a place to talk and group up, do something. The forums will depend on what happens with the Prepared itself.
Many thanks to everyone who has contributed in any way, shape, or form to our progress both past and present. Special mentions go to Chris, Lee, Bruno, and Charlotte who have done their best since last summer to keep the guild going.
Take a look at [our progress page] to remind you of our experiences overs the last few years. There are also some [great videos here], and please take time to watch Yunnie's Black Temple video in particular.
One final thankyou to Gwen for preventing me from going insane and putting up with my moaning
PS. Look out for a Mount Hyjal run soon which will mark the end of this era of 25 man progress. If you can bring anyone out of retirement for this, please try
