We got rid of yet another douche bag today that thinks that he is "irreplaceable" because he is just that good at WoW. No.. really.. that's what he said :D He included 1 copper with the mail to frost..
As everyone was probably made aware, last weekend was the open beta/stress testing of the Diablo III servers.We would like to hear about everyone's experiences and what you plan to do going into Diablo III at launch on May 15th. You can find the thread here.
We also have quite a few people participating in the MoP beta since the last round of invites went out about a week ago. Tell us what you plan to do in MoP as well as what you think you are going to stay far far away from. Also, for all those that want to get a ginvite on the beta realm. Our guild is made on the realm Lost Isle (US-PvE) and we would love to have everyone join up in order to see what the new guild perks are like. Discussion post found here.
Last but not least, we made a few changes across the board on the website. We put up some google ads in order to help the growth and funding of the community. They aren't overbearing, I think, but give us some feedback if you think they are.
Sorry that I haven't been updating the site as frequently as you'd expect but life has kept me extremely busy as of late. However, I some good news, bad news and ... just news :D
Good News
We got lots of new servers incoming as well as multiple locations. We need more administrators for the server. Most of out servers that everyone is use to playing on are in New York City right downtown. I know a few people have been having some issues connecting to them at some point due to ISP peering issues and really high latency because of crazy hops in their routing. Our solution to that is to put up servers in Chicago too!!
We now have a dedicated machine in Chicago from NFOservers capable of running any game that we can run in New York too. If you have requests for servers that you would like to see put online, please post in the forums under requests.
Bad News
We are in need of some donations due to the situation that we have found ourselves in from RL happenings. There is a donations button on the sidebar of the site and a post here explaining the cost breakdown of the community. Any help, no matter how small is a huge help to the community.
Other News
We are going to be starting Heroic mode pretty soon in DS one way or another. We may need to recruit another healer still but I am going to try to push us towards Heroic kills sooner! I hope that we can progress through this and start Mists with a solid 10 man group and jump straight into the dungeons and raids!!!
As for recruitment we are looking for a priest or shammy with DPS offspec.
It seems that the community is becoming more and more active these days. We got a few things that we needs to include in the news today.
Our first pre-season match for CEVO Season 13 is going to be on de_season. We need to have a practice this weekend to go over a few strats for the map. We will be playing against Turtles with Bazookas on Wednesday, February 15, 2012 at 10:30 PM CST ( 11:30 PM EST ). They lost their last match but I don't want to underestimate them. Remember that you must have CMN installed and turned on during the entire match.
In WoW, we downed another boss. Spine of Deathwing is now down! That puts us at 7/8 bosses with a few good attempts in on Madness. We are going to have an extra raid night this week in order to try to progress a bit more and possibly start some Heroic content next week. Please look up the guides and more info on the soon to come fights. Also, with [Taste the Rainbow] being completed this week as well, we have moved up to realm 19th on wow-progress.
