Knocked out Earth, Wind, and Fire this evening with our downtime.  Great job to the team on the execution and thanks to Dolphin for the organization.   

 In other news, we're still recruiting!  Just a reminder, we knocked out Tribute to Insanity (US 31st) ~3 weeks ago.  We're still looking to flesh out our roster for ICC, however, so if you're a qualified and experienced raider, submit an application.  If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a tell in-game (not during raiding hours), or PM me on our forums.  More updates to come in the months ahead, stay tuned.

We got Tribute to Insanity tonight, a week after getting "Mad Skill", and two weeks after our first kill.  As I ranted about in our first kill news write-up, we had our share of struggles going into the tail end of this zone.  We're over it, we dealt with it, we recovered.  This puts us back in the US Top-35 going into Icecrown, which will lead to nothing but good things for this team.  We've got our swagger back.  

Hardmode Anub'arak - Dead.  

<Insert Naxx-40 Scarab Corpse Here> 

Months behind guild is months behind?  Now here's the justification: Upon reaching hardmode Anub'arak, we lost our Ret Pally and his brother the Feral Druid, we lost our Enhance Shaman and his wife, a shadowpriest.  We lost our DPS Warrior/Off-Tank.  We lost a hunter, and her brother mage.  We lost our Frost DK/OT, and our Boomkin.  We went into the encounter with ONE ROGUE on the roster! ONE ROGUE!  We haven't raided with one rogue since... Ever. 

Perhaps further behind than we should be, but it is what it is.  GGz to the folks who put in the time to get this win in the bank for us, GGz to the people that had to sit on the sidelines so the officers could build a workable comp.  

Hardmodes coming up for ToC-25 this week, should be interesting.  Stay tuned.

Current US Standing: 43rd

I'll take it.

Thanks to some hard work from the raid team, and some blood sweat and tears from raiding Ulduar to recruiting to fill our gaps, we got the realm first and US 21st 25-man Algalon kill Tuesday night. A big shout-out to all those who counted us down and out and set sail for greener pastures!

Good work by the WoW Team has netted us a One Light in the Darkness kill. Congratulations to everyone who completed their drake, and many thanks to the raid team members sitting outside who made the kill possible, we'll finish up your drakes shortly!

In the last month, the Drow WoW Team has been on a roll, downing hard mode after hard mode, culminating the completion of Heroic: Firefighter on Monday. We've completed a Valanyr, Loved the Smell of Saronite in the Morning, Knocked on Wood 3x, and obtained some Rusted Proto-Drakes.

We're Heartbroken and we've got wood, I think you can figure out what that means.
Many congratulations to the team on getting Steelbreaker, Freyax2, and XT-002 Hard-Mode down in the last 10 days. After a slow week or so we've managed to turn it around in fine style and get 3 new hard modes down in a little over a week with more to follow shortly. Hit the "Read More" link below to see the screenshots.

We completed Ulduar, wrapping up Yogg-Saron Wednesday night.  It was awesome to have some fresh, non-recycled content.  The Hard Modes we're moving to next will sustain us and provide a challenge.  An amazing job by all to put up with the unstable instance servers the first few days, complete bugged out trash and bosses and enjoy the rape and pillage.

My congratulations and thanks to the entire Team.  I appreciate the time and commitment as well as the understanding to sit out now and then.  Gear checks galore await us!

After some fun, hassles and hoops to jump through we have achieved the Heroic: Glory of the Raider as a guild.  A big shout out to everyone, both those with the achievement and those who sat for the 20mans and supported the guild.

 This puts <Drow> at US #22 and World #45.

 We are recruiting!  Holy Paladin, Rogue, Hunter and a Mage.

 For the record: normal Glory of the Raider is also accomplished. (10man content)
