Moonlight Shadow

Moonlight Shadow turns 3 years old today! :D

Moonlight Shadow was born from the ashes of a guild called Conquerors of Shambala, a casual guild that had soap-opera quality drama baggage attached to it. After a nasty split and disbanding, the guild as we know it today was born, and we have been growing in numbers, levels, friendship, power and skill as each month passes.

As we are beginning to form as a steady 10-man raiding guild over the next few weeks, and an exciting new expansion on the horizon, we have a lot to look forward to and be thankful for.  :D

Thanks to all the guild members, from level 1 to level 80,  newcomers to Warcraft and those who have been playing since Vanilla, from all around the country and even the world. Here’s to an awesome 3 years, and many more awesome years to come!

And as a special treat, here is the video that started it all many years ago:

- Joining the forum will become a mandatory part of raiding with the guild. Please sign up on the forum, the link is on the right-hand side of this post.

- Once signed up, please make a post about what days and times you are available and unavailable to raid. The quicker members do this, the faster we can make raid groups.

- Check your calendars! New schedules will be posted every Tuesday once we know what the weekly raid quest is. Do not get yourself saved to 10-mans at the beginning of the week unless you know you will not be online for the remainder of the week. Remember: If you get yourself saved to 10 Ulduar/Naxx/EoE etc. if we say not to, it may mean you might not be invited to 10 ICC once we enter because it proves you can’t follow directions!

- The guild’s birthday is tomorrow (2/16).  The guild tabard will be changed back to it’s original design to celebrate.

- Congrats on the first guild kill of Ignis in Ulduar. I will be adding the picture eventually, but will wait until I get the downed section redesigned.

We stepped into Ulduar and took down Flame Levi last night. :D Took many wipes, but to be honest – those were the funnest wipes I have ever done! I think everyone had a blast. Too bad he didn’t drop anything useful. XD

We almost got XT-002 Deconstructor down too, but time restrictions prevented us from multiple attempts. We’ll get it down tonight!

**IMPORTANT REMINDERS**

Starting with tonight’s (10.16.09) raid, we will be actively checking to see who has Deadly Boss Mods installed. If you don’t have it, you have 5 minutes to download & install it. If you don’t get it done, you will be removed from the group and won’t be invited to any future raids until we have confirmed you have it installed.

You can download DBM here.

Also. If we have a scheduled raid, do not go and PUG yourself into another raid an hour before our raid is scheduled to start. If it’s a quick raid such as Vaults or OS… they’re not going anywhere. You can do them the next day or any other day up until server reset. Please use common sense.

We have changed Vent Servers!

The guild Message of the Day, and the Guild Info tab on your social window will list the new server info.

You may also ask myself or Unmei for the new vent as well.

Well folks, Blizzcon ended with a bang with an outstanding performence by L80ETC and Ozzy Osbourne. The panels were highly informative and the costume contest entrants were awesome!

But now it’s time to sit down and process all the information crammed into our heads over those two day. For convenience of guildies, we’ll go over some of the finer points of the upcoming expansion.

This contains only techncial information and not lore information, but if you don’t want to be spoiled either way, then read no further! XD

IMPORTANT: There is currently no Cataclysm Beta available. When it is available, Blizzard will officially announce it. If you receive an E-mail saying you were selected to participate in the Cataclysm Beta before Blizzard announces it, it is a scam to try and get your login information. Always remember to check the source of the E-mail, mouse over links to make sure they forward to the official Blizzard websites, and keep your Anti-Virus & Firewall up to date.

Okay so that’s an -OLD- Video of Naxx…….. so how about this one for size?

Scared yet?

That’s right folks we’re hitting up Naxxramas and hitting it up hard. Be on your game start inquiring on Raid potions and Food buffs. Start saving up your gold for the repeated wipes we may or may not encounter and get your game face on. This is going to be hard, it’ll be rough. But then again nothing [epic] ever comes easy right?

Bullhulk and I have -both- posted valuable tools and resources on taking down the bosses of Naxxramas. Your Job? Go watch the vids, read the strats, look for descriptions of what your job is supose to be, and get prepared to do your best. Wow is a game, yes? Games are fun, yes? Then let’s have fun doing this.

VITAL INFORMATION

Just to keep in mind YOU -WILL- NEED Ventrilo for this raid.  If we’re calling out incomings or need assistance it’s very important to have fast communication. Normally on non-schedualed raid days we’re more then happy to do stuff and joke around in Vent just chatting. However when a schedualed raid is going on, if you are -not- in that raid then please do not join the channel to chat with us, while we adore talking to you we do need the vent space cleared to keep in communication with the group.

To get Vent go to www.ventrilo.com It is free to use if someone is paying for the server. Information on the vent server we’re using can be found on the Guild information via the game. Btw TY to Disorderly for buying the Guild’s Vent in which some of us have fun times goofing off on.

WoW.com (Formerly WoW Insider)  posted a very important article regarding a scam that is going around on trade chat recently. It’s very important that you read this.

Remember to always be wary of what websites you go to and only go to trusted sites by typing in their URL’s manually or use a trusted existing bookmark, and do not log into suspicious websites. This goes not only for WoW but for any website which handles personal sensitive data.

Coming in the next major content patch near you!

Cat forms too! Blizz will release more overtime.

Message to the Guild

First I just wanted to babble on like some noob about how proud I am of the progress the guild has had over all. Last year around this time there was maybe no more then 10 people in guild? With only less then that logging on at all. We’ve gone through changes and -a lot- of road blocks to get this far. But with ever wall to climb we’ve climbed over it and excelled further then I had originally hoped for.

For those of you at level 80. Some of you have done me even more proud in your incentive to want to better your characters get geared out to make out first raids as a guild easier then normal. Just….. don’t forget that not everyone is able to do that and well….. you pulling aggro with your bad ass gear is your own fault , just to let you know. Watch your Omen meters. For those of you kinda sitting back and idling …. remove your thumbs from your butts and work on your dps everyone needs to pull their own weight for this.

Projected goals for this guild are as follows;

• Gear Out our new lvl 80’s and soon to be level 80’s.
• Recruit Shamans, Paladin Healers, Maybe another priest….. and another resto druid (One can’t have enough tree’s to shake around)
• Assist players stuck or help power level them. (Those level 70 and Lower… please pug for groups. And dont’ nag us for runs…. that just gets me to give you a swift kick in the ass)
• Dominate 10man Content.(no plans for 25man content :P sorry but I dont’ feel like herding cats)
• PVP premade as a guild (just for shits and giggles and hell honor is nice yes?)
