It’s been almost 2 months since my last blog post — I’ve just not been able to find the time for it! I’ve got loads of news though on what I’ve been up to since I moved to Magtheridon. Moving server was by far the best decision I’ve made in my WOW career. Magtheridon is such an awesome server — you can guarantee pug Karas will be running any time you need, day or night! They don’t fail. Out of the 5 or so I did, none had any problems doing a full clear in about 4 hours. Pug Gruul’s are just as frequent as Kara — again with no problems clearing the whole instance. Maggy raids also run fairly regularly and SSC/TK pugs do happen, but the ones I went with didn’t do so well! Pug 70 content aside, one of my favourite things about the server is the weekly level 60 content pugs. We’re not talking MC runs here (though they do happen) — we’re talking full Naxx clears, AQ40 clears and BWL. There’s a group of people that clear all the 40-man level 60 content every week. I have my Tier 3 ring from Kel’Thuzad to prove it — that’s something that, when the expansion hits, will not be obtainable ever again. So I’ll be holding onto that!

I spent my first few weeks trying out several guilds, none of which I liked. I applied everywhere I could and eventually found somewhere I liked. The guild’s name is Antihero — when I joined they were 4/5 MH and 3/9 BT. Since joining we have killed Archimonde 4 times now (and I got my T6 head — my first part!). We killed Teron Gorefiend without too much bother with constructs in the raid, and have killed Gurtogg Bloodboil twice and had some decent attempts on RoS (best being about 30% on phase 3). So now we are 5/5 MH and 5/9 BT. MH clears now only take us about 3 and a half hours — and that’s usually with about an hour of wipes on Archimonde because we still seem to have some problems there, and will continue to for a while I expect. This week they decided to make me an officer also, which is cool — all I really do is assign healing targets but it’s nice to be more involved.

So all in all I’m very happy with the move. I’m getting to see and beat content that previously I’d only seen in videos, and if we can clear BT before the expansion is released I’ll be one happy priest! There are still people back on Bladefist that I miss but actually a lot of people I knew from there were already here, came with us, or have moved recently to join us. It’s a great server and anyone looking to find a new place to call home — I highly recommend checking it out!
