Congratulations to Nox Oriens on their first successful clear of Black Temple! We will continue another clear of Black Temple this week and start to look toward Sunwell Plateau.  Thank you to everyone that helped get us here and for the input/assistance from our friends. It's great to see so many guildies on daily and to see us continue to RAID forward after the recent guild changes. Nox Oriens is alive and well.......

Congratualtions to Nox Oriens.  Archimonde marks our completion of Mount Hyjal.  Soon we can be pushing BT and expecting to down Bloodboil and Reliquary of Souls (this will not be an easy fight) and Mother Sharaz (For our third piece of T6 gear).  Great job to everyone on a long night of raiding.  We were very impressed with people flasking and taking consumables quickly.  I believe we pulled 18 times last night.  Thanks to everyone for sticking through it, next time will be easier.

Now that we have cleared Hyjal I want to recap a bit and let everyone know what I have seen.  I hit 70 on my rogue last June (a little over a year ago for those without a calendar) and started Karazhan shortly after.  At this time Nemesis had only cleared Attuman and maybe Moroes.  I remember struggling with Maiden and Holyfires.  My third week or so we made huge progress and attained guildfirsts on opera and Curator (we had Oz for our first opera).  In late July we started attempting HKM.  By the end of September we had cleared Gruul.  At this time we started running multiple Kara runs and prepping for T5 instances.  Nemesis downed VR once before we split.

The formation of Nox Oriens we have seen much more rapid progression.  In about six months we have cleared everything except Black Temple and Sunwell Plateau.  Wrath of Litch King is around the corner and I expect us to be able to kill Illidan and down several bosses in Sunwell.  And now I apologize for the rant, great job everyone on Archimonde.
