Queen Azshara Go Boom
This post is (9/31) of the Blaugust 2019 event! You can find out more about Blaugust over at Belghast’s blog. I (Chestnut) created a Twitter list of all participants. UltrViolet created an OPML file of all the bloggers to import into your feed reader. It’s taken us some time due to the fact it was summer, and people have lives, but Iron Circle finally downed Azshara on normal! We’ve been close for a couple raid nights, but just didn’t have the people to get her through. Now that she’s down, though, we’re focusing efforts back on pushing heroic. The cutscene you get after defeating Azshara actually made me squee a…

Pretty Birbs
Posting this a week after the fact, but… Image from Ru IRON CIRCLE DEFEATED HEROIC ARGUS! Congrats to all that were there on the first kill (March 29, 2018)! I’m hoping we can get the mount for some more guildies. A few folks have poked officers about it, and I think they’re concocting something along the same lines as the Moose? I hope so, anyway. We’ve only downed him once, so far. But I’m sure we’ll get him on farm soon, so long as we can skip Coven. We’ve also only downed them once, and they are murder for us, apparently. I think I might be the only one in…

Buh-Bye KJ
This post is a part of #IntPiPoMo 2017. You can find more information and sign up to participate here. A bit delayed, but just a quick hurrah that Iron Circle finally said buh-bye to Kil’jaeden on November 6th! Some people are blocking other people, but I tried my best! ;P Congrats to all that were there on our first kill, and our second kill yesterday! Hopefully we can get in another kill or two to get achievements for a few more folks in the raid team. It’s exciting to have him down. It means I can start working on my gaming to do list a bit more! So proud of…

Talk Like a Pirate Day!
I am behind the times, and didn’t know that Warcraft had a Talk Like a Pirate Day event. I don’t know how I didn’t know this considering how into holidays I’ve always been in-game, and how I completed pretty much all of them pre-Pandaria. The first thing that alerted me to it was some guildies talking about it on Twitter Hey @bekitoburrito, Pirate Shenanigans have begun! AARRRR! #WoW #TalkLikeAPirateDay pic.twitter.com/6AjMNQ2JlM — fynralyl (@fynralyl) September 19, 2016 And then I saw a Tweet from my (pretty much) favoritest WildStar dev. I see my Dread Captain persona is being more generous this year. 😉 https://t.co/0WAUntqaO7 — Kristen DeMeza (@TisCaydiem) September 19, 2016…

Shade of the Elm, the Kingslayers
About twenty wipes over three hours. That’s what Saturday night looked like. Aggravating for some (lots of wiping always is), and exciting for others. We almost had him. The valks just kept killing us. We called it a night at our normal time. We started early on Sunday, in case we were going to have a repeat of Saturday. All of us stoked. Somehow knowing it was going to be the night. And it was the night! After about six months of Shade of the Elm grinding out ICC, we down Arthas for the first time. Vent was a riot. It was exhilarating. The title finally felt official, even though the…

Chestnut the Kingslayer
I still can’t wrap my head around it. Nope, I can’t. After being a hardcore raider and finally getting burnt out, and then moving to a server to just enjoy the game and all its aspects (read: Achievements!!!!), I never thought I’d get it. Nope. Not me. Sure, I’ve been raid leading an ICC10 Saturday/Sunday with the guild, and the weekly, and some older stuff like AQ40, and helping to heal the second ICC10 Tuesday/Thursday group for the guild… but I never thought I’d get it. We’ve seen Arthas as a guild. Yup, casual little ol’ Shade of the Elm has gotten their paws on Arthas. We just had two…
